There’s a traditional feel to the design in Tree of Fortune - set against a red patterned backdrop and swaying lanterns, the reels include lower value A to 9 playing cards plus an assortment of Chinese-themed objects. You’ll see firecrackers, gold coins, a lotus flower and a lucky waving gold cat.
The most lucrative symbol is the Golden Rooster - land 2, 3, 4 or 5 of these on adjacent reels and you can look forward to a payout of 10, 40, 400 or 4,000 coins. There’s also a wild, the golden dragon, which lands on reels 2 and 4 only.
Following each base game spin, you’ll be offered the chance to re-spin a reel. The price differs on each reel depending on the combinations on show and the potential they have for a big winner. This option isn’t obviously available in autoplay mode.
The other feature on offer in Tree of Fortune is a Free Spins feature - this is triggered by landing 3, 4 or 5 scatters anywhere on the reels on the same spin. You’ll then receive an award of up to 100 times your stake as well as 15 free spins. All winning combinations landed during the free spins round are boosted by a 3x multiplier and trebled. Re-spins buys aren’t possible here but you can re-trigger more free spins by landing a good haul of scatters.
We normally just hit autoplay when firing up a slot game - thanks to the re-spin option, it’s worth reverting to manual mode here. The free spins round offers some decent potential too courtesy of the trebling multiplier. We found this game to be pretty volatile and endured some large swings.
With its nice design, re-spins and feature round, Tree of Fortune has some potential. If you’re a fan of the Chinese genre then it is certainly worth closer examination. I would rather play some of iSoftBet’s other titles with the ancient-Egyptian themed Eye of the Amulet and excellent choice.
