Koi Fortunes

Discerning slot players can enjoy a real gem of a sequel in Koi Fortunes, the auspicious fish title from Concept Gaming.

With four distinct Wheel Bonus Features and increasing win multipliers all the way up to 100x, play is downright exciting! Nobody will be going to sleep with the fishes in this game.

Theme

Ah, a serene koi pond…

… these unassuming fish, however, have significant meaning in East Asian culture. 

They stand for good fortune in business, wealth, and surplus… all good assets for online slot players!

This title is built by the Welsh firm Concept Gaming (and therefore no stranger to beaches themselves!). Though lesser-known than some of its competitors, this company has been releasing quality work since 2010. As they often create software for other casinos, it’s no surprise if players aren’t familiar with their name directly. In fact, it’s easy to play one of their games without ever knowing it!

There’s nothing fishy about this title. Gaming symbols include elegant koi swimming against a variety of background flora, as well as the playing card values ace through ten. 

The most important symbols, however…

… are the wild fish. These substitute for others to help form wins, while also expanding to fill entire reels. 

Betting Options and Functions

There are 20 fixed pay lines, all paying in both directions. 

Between 1–5 coins can be wagered per line, and coin value is adjustable from 0.01–0.50 times the betting currency: this yields an overall per-spin betting range of 0.20–50.00 times the betting currency.

Player options, payline information, game rules, and more are available via a pop-up menu. Autoplay can be engaged for up to 500 spins in a row, with optional win/loss limits available. 

The theoretical return to player (RTP) is somewhat underwhelming at 95%.

Features

• Any win in base play automatically engages the Win Multiplier Meter.
• After the first win, the win multiplier increases to 2x. Subsequent wins will increase the win multipliers by a factor of one, up to a maximum of 5x.
• A winning spin with the 5x multiplier triggers the Multiplier Wheel. 
• Spin the wheel to determine the win multiplier for the next spin – the upper limit is 100x!
• Any losing spin will drop the win multiplier back down to 1x.

• Any five-of-a-kind win will trigger one of three Wheel Bonus Feature
• Depending on the winning symbol, the bonus level will be initially set at one, two, or three.
• Prize segments within the lower levels of the Bonus Feature may allow the player to spin up to the next highest level of bonus play. 

Our Take

Concept Gaming brings a fresh approach to this title, particularly in its approach to bonus features, and the results are appealing. 

Though we would prefer to see higher RTP, this is hardly a disqualifying factor.
