If not for the familiar aesthetics, Konami fans would probably fail to associate Magical Bat Fortune with the company's software. Except for the shared design, this slot is fairly atypical of Konami, its compelling performance diverting from what we've come to expect from their products. The mechanics are well executed, even by high standards, and seem benevolent enough, if there is such a thing when it comes to slot games. All the features are arguably engaging, but the most important asset of this release is definitely its interactive quality - something you won't find too often among Konami slots.
Magical Bat Fortune Slot Characteristics
Playing this slot does not require any substantial bankroll or too much skill, as it is obviously meant for everyone, especially on and off gamblers who do not take kindly to highly volatile mechanics. Available in Fixed 20, 25, 30 and 40-line configurations, Magical Bat Fortune will award plenty of wins, just not the overly huge ones, though. But these are still more then decent and should make for a nice boost to your balance without having to make serious risks.
The graphics have a recognizable Konami style with bright colors and Oriental symbols including koi fish, gold coins, dragon figurines, floral designs and a bit out of place piggy bank. The game is available in Podium Concerto, Slant and Goliath cabinets, all featuring the same basic technicalities with differences mostly concerning size and shape, so you can expect the same quality of gameplay to be found on each of these.
Asian-themed design is joined by a selection of high-quality features that range from Scatters, Wilds with nudges and multipliers attached, to copying Wilds and free games with three available options for players to choose from. You'll find both the regular game and bonuses eventful and rewarding, but it is the free spins feature that boats the greatest winning potential thanks to high-value multipliers.
Magical Bat Fortune Slot Features
During the regular game, Wild symbols will appear on reels 2 and 4 only, and come with a multiplier attached that can increase your wins up to 5 times. If you get a full Wild reel on either one of these, it will copy over to the other reel. This means that any win you hit this way will be worth twice as much, up to 25 times.
The free spins are interactive, meaning players can choose out of three available modes concerning reels and three different multipliers - a x2, x3 and x5. The bonus is triggered with Scatter symbols that appear on reels 1, 3 and 5 only, making it a bit harder to activate, but once you do there will be an added benefit of Wild nudges. Any partial Wild is nudged to cover the entire reel window.
As is the case with a vast majority of Konami offerings, the gameplay is enhanced with Action Stacked Symbols and Xtra Reward feature that boasts different benefits for each of the games.
Conclusion
It is great to see something different from Konami, as they have been criticized for making their slots all in the same mold. Magical Bat Fortune is a relatively harmless slot filled with fun features that don't pay much, but the wins are frequent and the action constant.
