So, it is not a new Justin Nevins invention, nor a sequel of Dan Brown’s bestseller. This is one unique game from NetEnt with a fortune win mechanism that takes place in both – the base game and the free spins as well.
The technical facet of the slot is a 5×4 playing field with 40 fixed paylines. Moreover, you could land at this slot a ‘heavy’ prize of 2000x your stake. The game comes with beautifully designed symbols (ornamented peacock, butterfly, snail, turtle, koi, owl, lion), and offers Fortune Free Spins and Fortune Re-spins.
But like with the real perpetual device, here too, an anti-lock feature with false notches/levels can make it impossible to expose the real potential of the game.
The slot comes with Medium-High Volatility, a hit rate of 24.10% and an RTP of 96.24%. The RTP allows obtaining a positive mathematical expectation of winning in the Canadian online casino. You can turn your own fortune by playing the slot in DEMO mode here on our page, or you can play in real mode at any NetEnt Casino.
Review and recommendations about Turn your Fortune slot by the testing team
As a standard NetEnt endowed Turn your Fortune slot with excellent high-quality graphics and sounds. What is not standard here is the gameplay, plus the embedded by the developer top-line winning prospect (for average-high variance game). So, the game has many positive sides, but negative ones as well.
In the Fortune base game
- The slot goes through a long series of empty spins, and only rarely delivers winnings. As a rule, they are insignificant – between 1x and 2x bets. On even more rare occasions you can receive 10x bets.
- Higher payouts during the main game can be obtained with the bonus feature: Re-spin (with 2 Scatters). This feature is not often triggered, sometimes in series with a long pause between them.
- As a rule, the average winnings from this feature are 20x-30x bets, and in super exceptional cases 50x-100x.
In the Fortune Free Spins
- 3 Scatters (peacocks), appearing only on reels 1, 3, and 5 will trigger between 7 and 13 Free Spins with Fortune Win on the Criptex.
- The Fortune Criptex is built on 5 levels (vertical) and 5 stages (horizontal), providing progressively increasing coin win prizes from 5 to 2000 coins. Horizontal moving through the stages can occur when a Key symbol appears on reel 5 (only), and vertical moving through levels occurs when single, or +10 bonus symbols appear anywhere on the reels. Additional spins can be rewarded for each Scatter that appears.
During the Free Spins you can expect from this slot: small winnings (up to 50x)-not often; medium winnings (50x-100x)-very frequently; and large (for this slot) payouts of 150x-200x very rarely.
The maximum amount obtained during our tests was 500x. This is just all you can anticipate from the Turn your fortune slot machine. In our humble opinion, the declared by NetEnt potential to get a maximum win of 2000x total bets is in actuality not realizable.
Alternative tester’s opinion
This is one top-rate game with beautifully designed symbols, and unusual gameplay – altogether one remarkable slot. We consider this Medium-High Volatility slot as a game that reaped great success among players. The reason is of course the potential for large payouts.
This high prospect can be manifested during the bonus round, which generally is not frequently triggered, but super exciting and always fun to see how far up on the Fortune Win Criptex you can make it.
Slot Bonuses
The Wild Symbol is the decorated butterfly which plays the regular substitution part, to complete some pay line win.
The Fortune Win Criptex is the central function of the slot. The feature can be triggered A) during the base game and B) during Free Spins.
- A) In the base game-in one spin if besides a winning combination 2 Scatters landed, the Criptex is activated, the wheel on the side of the device will turn, and the chosen symbol will be the collectible item. You get a Re-spin, in which landing more of the collectible symbols brings more Re-spins, and for every 5 collected items, the Fortune Wins Criptex will turn one level up. In case a Key symbol drops, that also turns the Criptex levels up, giving chances for more fortune wins.
- B) If triggered with 3 Scatters, the Fortune Wins Criptex starts again with the spin of the wheel on the side of the device, which will pin down the number of Free Spins, and the collectible symbol. The maximum number of Free Spins is 13, and you will need to gather 20 of the collectible symbols to progress 1 level on the Criptex. There is a 10+ symbol that can drop on reel 2, which also helps to boost your level-up progress. If you are lucky to reach the Criptex’s top, you will receive an additional up to 2000x total bets.

How to win at the Turn your fortune slot machine? (Conclusion)
- The topmost advice we always address you with is to test the slot in free DEMO mode before playing with real money.
- We do not recommend this slot for wagering the bonus money.
- The bonus hunters could be disappointed here because of:
- The lengthy blank streaks, or spins with tiny payouts;
- Plus the small potential for large winnings in the bonus rounds and not triggering those rounds often.
- Despite the original idea embedded in both the base and the bonus game, the slot mostly delivers between 5x and 50x total bets in the main game, and between 150x and 200x in the bonus game. What characterizes the slot as a poor balance keeper in the regular spins and at the same time poor exhibitor of the big win prospect in the Free Spins (much less than the announced top prize). Therefore, while playing with real money, we recommend only short game sessions, until receiving 1-2 bonus rounds.
- If you insist to play at the Turn your fortune slot machine with real money a sizeable (200x+ bets) starting capital will be needed.
