The Happy Fortune slot by Pragmatic Play immerses players in a richly themed Oriental setting, featuring a cheerful Caishen, the Chinese god of wealth, alongside culturally-inspired buildings and a soothing instrumental melody. The game's 6×5 grid employs a Pay Anywhere mechanic, requiring 8 or more matching symbols to appear simultaneously anywhere on the reels for a win.
Symbols include thematic items such as Blue, Green, Red, and Purple Lanterns in the lower-paying tier, and a Necklace, Calabash, Money Bag, Sycee, and Kettle in the higher-paying tier. Caishen's Portrait serves as the Scatter symbol, appearing on all reels and triggering the free spins bonus when 4-6 land simultaneously.
The game features cascading wins, where winning symbols disappear and are replaced by symbols falling from above, potentially creating additional wins. Multiplier Gold Coin symbols can also appear randomly, taking values between 2x and 100x and multiplying the total win after all cascades have concluded.
The Free Spins bonus is triggered by landing 4-6 scatters, awarding 10, 15, or 20 free spins respectively. During the bonus, multiplier symbols are collected in a meter, progressively unlocking higher multiplier levels:
- Level 1: 2-100x multipliers, 6 symbols to level up
- Level 2: 8-100x multipliers, 5 symbols to level up
- Level 3: 15-100x multipliers, 4 symbols to level up
- Level 4: 50-100x multipliers Landing 3+ scatters during the bonus awards an additional 5 free spins.
Players can opt for the Ante Bet, doubling their chances of triggering the free spins at an increased cost, or use the Buy Feature to directly enter the bonus at Level 1, 2, 3, or 4 for 100x, 200x, 400x, or 500x the stake, respectively.
