Yokai Fortune Slot
Yokai Fortune is an exclusive release from Pragmatic Play available on selected casinos only.
Japanese folklore provides the setting for Yokai Fortune, with supernatural Yokai creatures replacing the usual assortment of sweets, fruits and fishing equipment. It's a welcome choice of theme, although the gameplay bears a noticeable resemblance to Sugar Rush Super Scatter and Sugar Rush 1000. Rather than increasing multipliers on individual positions, Yokai Fortune introduces rectangular multiplier areas that can cover anything from a modest 2x2 section to the entire playing field.
The 7x7 grid operates with cluster pays, awarding wins for five or more adjacent matching symbols. Winning clusters disappear through tumbles, potentially producing further combinations without another paid spin. The default RTP is 96.58%, volatility is low, and stakes range from 0.20 to 240. Pragmatic Play has also made the game available exclusively through selected casinos, limiting its distribution compared with the developer's regular releases.
Multiplier underlays can appear randomly beneath the symbols, beginning at x2 and doubling whenever a winning cluster forms within their area. With enough consecutive tumbles, the multiplier can eventually reach x128. Larger underlays naturally provide more opportunities for winning symbols to benefit, although even a full-screen multiplier needs productive tumbles to become particularly valuable.
The problem is their temporary nature. In regular gameplay, accumulated multipliers vanish once the spin concludes, making extended sequences essential for stronger payouts. It's an effective way of creating occasional excitement, but also means that promising multiplier development can end rather abruptly. Three to seven Scatters trigger between 10 and 30 Free Spins, depending on the number collected. The standard bonus guarantees at least one multiplier underlay per spin, while Super Free Spins provides a full 7x7 underlay throughout the feature. Both variations retain the multiplier reset, however, preventing values from accumulating between spins.
That limitation disappears in Super Free Spins 2, where a randomly sized underlay carries its multiplier forward throughout the bonus, potentially reaching x128. It's arguably the most interesting version of the mechanic, but access through the Bonus Buy menu costs an extraordinary 750x the bet. Standard Free Spins and Super Free Spins 1 cost 100x and 300x respectively. Additional betting options include an Ante Bet costing 4x, alongside enhanced Super Spins priced at 10x and 100x. These guarantee multiplier underlays with varying starting values, including the possibility of beginning a full-screen multiplier at x32.
Yokai Fortune makes a reasonable attempt to distinguish itself from earlier multiplier-based releases, and the variable underlay sizes introduce some worthwhile unpredictability. Nevertheless, the regular resetting of multipliers restricts the more interesting possibilities, while the strongest persistent version carries an exceptionally high entry cost. The Japanese mythology deserves a more adventurous mechanical interpretation. What remains is a reasonably entertaining cluster slot with some impressive theoretical possibilities, but one whose most appealing feature is kept behind its most expensive option.
