Sun of Fortune Online Slot by Wazdan won me over with its bright visuals, but the overall experience felt like it was missing a bit of excitement. This is a good-looking gamewith a vibrant Asian theme that features intricate golden artifacts and a lush patterned red backdrop. The gameplay is straightforward with only 1 bonus feature to break the base game rhythm and the top potential win from a single spin weighs in at $145 000.

Wazdan has packed a lot of options into the game screen, starting with the spin and Autoplay buttons, which are clustered together with spin speed and volatility adjustment controls. You can also easily adjust your bet, check the game rules, view the paytable, and adjust the sound settings. A slide-up menu gives you access to further display and game options.
You need to land at least 8 matching symbols for a win, and you can land as many as 16. A red shopping cart allows you instant access to the bonus round, and the four fixed jackpot values are located to the right of the reels.
Hold the Jackpot
If you land 3 or 5 bonus symbols on the same spin, they will become sticky and a respin will be triggered, giving you a shot at landing at least 6 bonus symbols and triggering the Hold the Jackpot bonus round.
The game will give you 3 respins on a 4x4 grid where any new bonus symbols that land will reset the respins to 3. You can either land regular cash bonus symbols with prizes worth between 1x and 10x your stake, or Mini, Minor and Major jackpot symbols, worth 20x, 50x and 150x your stake, respectively. If you fill all 16 positions, you will be rewarded with the grand jackpot worth 1000x your stake. If you run out of respins, the combined values of the symbols in view will be paid out to you.
Gamble
After you land the winning spin, you will have a chance to double your prize. You can guess whether a face-down card will turn up red or black, or you can choose between two burning suns, depending on which option you choose from the menu. Once you have doubled your winnings, you can do it again and keep winning, as long as you keep guessing right.
Sun of Fortune slot is visually pleasing with a fun bonus round, but I felt the game was missing some substance. Besides the base game, where your maximum possible win is 200x your bet, the bonus round is the only time you get any variation in gameplay. This means that casual players who don’t mind the minimal bonus features and the lower-than-average top potential of $145k will have a good time with this game, but anyone looking for a little more bite probably won’t stick around long. If you’re seeking respin-rich gameplay with bigger rewards then you’ll enjoy Wild Robo Factory.
