Fortune Sheep is an Asian-themed slot game developed by Fa Chai Gaming. The slot's design is centered around luck and fortune, drawing inspiration from Chinese culture. The visual elements include bright colors, high-quality artwork, and smooth animations. The background features mountains, flying flowers, and exploding fireworks against a vast blue sky, creating a festive and prosperous atmosphere.
The main character of the slot is the Fortune Sheep, which appears as a wild symbol. Other symbols include various representations of Gold Coins, such as pots, coiners, bags, and packs. The game also features an Orange symbol.
Fortune Sheep is part of Fa Chai Gaming's Prosperity Tree series, being the third installment following Fortune Koi and Fortune Egg. This series maintains similar volatility levels and RTP rates while adjusting other aspects like the active play area and maximum payout.
Core Game and Mechanics
Fortune Sheep features a classic layout of 3 reels, 3 rows, and 5 paylines. The paylines start from the leftmost reel and pay for combinations of three matching symbols from left to right. The game is optimized for mobile play, particularly in portrait mode on smartphones and tablets, though it's also playable on desktop devices.
The betting range is extensive, allowing wagers from €0.10 to €500 per spin. This wide range caters to both casual players and high rollers. The game boasts a high Return to Player (RTP) rate of 96.50% and medium volatility.
Symbols in the game include various Gold Coin representations and an Orange symbol. The Gold Coin symbols offer payouts ranging from 1x to 20x the bet, while the Orange pays 0.60x the stake. The Sheep wild symbol is the highest-paying individual symbol, offering 50x the bet for a full line.
The game includes options for Turbo Spin and Autoplay, allowing players to customize their gameplay experience. The maximum potential win is 2,500x the bet, or up to €1,250,000 at the highest stake.
Bonus Features
- Wild Collection and Respin Feature: This feature can trigger randomly at the end of any spin. When activated, the game selects a random symbol (excluding the Wild) and respins the reels, showing only that symbol, wilds, or blanks. Each new special symbol or wild that lands triggers another respin. This continues until the grid is full or a respin occurs with only blanks. During this feature, some symbols may land with a special Multiplier Frame. Each frame adds a 1x multiplier to the total win multiplier, up to a maximum of 10x. At the end of the feature, winnings are calculated based on the landed symbols and increased by the total multiplier before being paid out.
- 10x Bonus: This bonus activates when players land a full grid of the same symbol, including Fortune Sheep wilds. When this occurs, the payout is increased by a 10x win multiplier. This bonus is available during the Respin feature but does not stack with the Frame multipliers.
Interesting Feature
An intriguing aspect of Fortune Sheep is its Wild Collection mechanic. As wild symbols land, they are collected by Firecrackers displayed next to the Fortune Sheep above the reels. While this collection is primarily an aesthetic effect and doesn't directly trigger the Respin feature, it adds a visually engaging element to the gameplay. The random nature of the Respin feature's activation keeps players in suspense, potentially triggering at any moment for increased excitement and win potential.
