Game Overview

Fortune Gems 2 is a five-reel, three-row video slot game developed by NetEnt. The game takes players on an oriental journey where they can win up to 10,000 times their bet amount. In this review, we will dive into the details of the game’s theme, Fortune Gems 2 slot design, symbols, payouts, wilds, scatters, bonus features, free spins, RTP, volatility, betting range, max win, gameplay, mobile play, player experience, and overall analysis.

Theme and Design

Fortune Gems 2 is set against a majestic golden background adorned with intricate Chinese-inspired carvings. The game’s design is rich in detail, reflecting the opulence of ancient China. Players can observe four different reels placed side by side, each featuring six symbols that create an immersive experience. To add to the excitement, the soundtrack includes soothing Asian melodies and ambient sounds, further immersing players into the Far Eastern atmosphere.

Symbols

The game features 12 regular symbols divided into three categories: low-value symbols (A-10), high-value symbols (Chinese dragon, Phoenix, Tiger), and two exclusive high-paying symbols (Golden Coin and Jade Empress). The Golden Coin symbol is a premium icon that pays out up to 100 times the bet amount for five-of-a-kind combinations. Meanwhile, the Jade Empress has a payout of up to 2000x for the same combination.

Payouts

Winning payouts in Fortune Gems 2 are calculated using a fixed paytable, as seen with most slot games. When landing matching symbols from left to right on adjacent reels (excluding scatters and wilds), players will be rewarded accordingly based on their bets. For example, five A’s or ten Jacks would yield the same payout of three times the total bet amount.

Wilds

The Wild symbol is represented by a majestic Golden Dragon icon that substitutes any other regular symbol to create winning combinations. Landing two Golden Dragons triggers the Lucky Bet feature. While there are no stacked wilds in Fortune Gems 2, one bonus can help players reach a six-of-a-kind combination for improved payouts.

Scatters

The Jade Empress is both the game’s Wild and Scatter icon. However, while it doesn’t trigger free spins by itself as most slots do when three or more scatter symbols land anywhere on the reels in modern games from providers such as Yggdrasil Gaming like Easter Bunny Egg Hunt (more info) , you can still play the Fortune Gems 2 slot.

Bonus Features

In addition to Lucky Bet and Wilds, there’s no progressive jackpot. However, it has a free spins feature called "Gong Feature", where players need three Golden Dragons at least on consecutive reels with an active bet line – these triggered from either two Golden Dragons during the base game or when using an exclusive in-game option known as Auto Fortune mode which might get turned off once enabled by some casino operators but this won’t change how you can win from the feature itself.

Free Spins

During free spins, each time a Gong is sounded (triggers only on reels 1-4), extra wilds are added to these reels. There isn’t any specific amount that has been set yet however all wins during this round count towards your final total with nothing stopping you from winning even more than once within those few minutes since fortune gems will appear randomly across a single row as well.

RTP (Return To Player) and Volatility

NetEnt states the RTP of Fortune Gems 2 is approximately 96.1% although I can verify it because all other information available says so; however actual results might vary depending on specific sessions played etc…Volatility level isn’t clearly specified either which usually ranges between Low, Medium or High – though considering its many unique features like respins and bonus game chances this shouldn’t be too big an issue.

Betting Range

In Fortune Gems 2, the minimum bet per spin is $0.20 while maximum is a rather substantial amount of money: ($4). Players can choose from various coin denominations to suit their budget.

Max Win

Winning combinations and respins contribute significantly towards potential gains – players have no upper limit but given those specifics above max possible gain seems 10,000x that’s only one instance per active spin win since auto play option is enabled.
