Sands of Fortune
Sands of Fortune is an Egyptian-themed online slots game with many similarities to Steven Spielberg’s blockbuster movie – Raiders of the Lost Ark. In the game you will find a character similar to Indiana Jones who will explore hidden passageways in a bid to recover lost artefacts that are worth cash prizes to you. So it’s up to you to help your plucky adventurer find as many artefacts and other prizes for you as he can while he winds his way through the tombs of ancient Pharaohs.
Some of the Egyptian-themed symbols you will stumble upon while playing Sands of Fortune include; the Eye of Ra, scorpions, scarab beetles, pyramids and many other ancient Egyptian references – the only thing missing is Tutankhamen himself!
Once you’re ready to start your adventure simply choose how many lines you want to play from 1 to 9 and then choose your bet amount from 25p per line to a massive £10 per line for players looking for the big action. When playing at £10 per line you have the potential to win a massive £250,000 jackpot for matching all five jackpot symbols. That’s a 25,000x jackpot up for grabs, which is still £6,250 when spinning at 25p a pop.
If you spin 3 or more ‘Bonus’ symbols you will trigger the all-important bonus feature, where you will have to guide your intrepid explorer through a maze of tunnels and passageways in a bid to find as many lost artefacts and treasures as possible but look out for the booby traps.
At the start of the feature you must choose one passageway from a possible three. If you choose the right passageway your Indiana Jones-style character will discover a lost treasure, win you some cash and move on to the next passages. However, if you send your adventurer down the wrong passageway he will encounter a trap and have to run for his life to escape certain death, but luckily he will take his new found treasures and your cash prizes with him.
Sands of Fortune does have one other feature to offer that will benefit you as you spin the reels. There are ‘Wild’ symbols on each of the reels, which can be used as substitutes for any other symbols in the game with the exception of the bonus symbols. This gives you an even better chance of matching symbols and winning prizes.
Sands of Fortune offers something different to many of the thousands of other online slots games out there. The game itself has a pretty unique feel to it while the ‘regular’ 25,000x jackpot puts it way ahead of most of the field, which is why we’re giving it our seal of approval.
Game Functionality:
As with all good online slots games, Sands of Fortune is a simple 5-reel slot that’s easy to get to grips with. Simply choose your bet between 25p to £10 per line, choose from 1 to 9 lines and hit the spin button. To ease the strain on your mouse clicking finger you can use the auto play facility, plus there are other sound and play options.
At many sites Sands of Fortune is available to play for real money or in fun mode for play money, allowing you to try the slots game out before you wager any of you own cash.
Progressive jackpot:
One of the only disappointments when playing Sands of Fortune is the absence of a progressive jackpot. However, the jackpot for this popular online slots game is a massive 25,000, meaning that players maxing out at £10 per line can play for a jackpot of a quarter of a million pounds! Now that’s a much bigger prize than many of the progressive jackpots out there.
Bonus features:
Match 3, 4 or 5 ‘Bonus’ symbols to trigger a bonus feature where you must choose one of three paths. If you choose the right path you will win cash prizes and continue playing but if you choose the wrong path the bonus feature will be over and your winnings up to that point in the bonus feature will be added to your account.
‘Wild’ symbols can be used as a substitute for all other symbols in the game with the exception of the ‘Bonus’ symbols.
