About Fortune Gods
Released on 11 August 2018, Fortune Gods is among the very first slots PG Soft ever published, and its architecture gives that away: this is a classic 5 reels, 3 rows, 15 paylines format, with one interesting quirk — the lines are both-way, meaning a combination pays from left to right just as it does from right to left. The theme draws on Caishen, the Chinese god of wealth. The main mechanic, the Caishen Respins, triggers when a Caishen symbol lands: it turns the symbols around it into wilds, and those wilds become sticky for one free respin. The game also uses expanding wilds. The bet range is one of the widest in the studio's catalogue: from €0.30 to €187.50 per spin. We do have to be direct about the weak point, though: the RTP is 95.04%, which is more than 1.7 points below the 96.75% standard PG Soft applies to its recent titles, and behind the market average. Combined with high volatility and a ceiling capped at 3,600x, that makes this a slot to consider mainly for its historical interest, or if you specifically enjoy the sticky-wild respin mechanic. The more recent entries in PG Soft's fortune universe offer a better RTP-to-potential ratio.
