Sakura Fortune 2 Slot Review
Introduction
Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2, Basic Instinct 2, American Psycho 2 – sequels are often an embarrassing reminder of how greed can ruin what was originally an exceptional artistic creation.
Sakura Fortune 2 slot is Quickspin’s follow-up to their original game and we’re about to find out if it does justice to its predecessor or if it should be erased from living memory.
Let’s find out!
Gameplay
Absolutely stunning – that was my initial impression of how this game looked. And after hundreds of spins, I grew to like it even more.
Quickspin has gone with a modern take on a traditional theme, and it really works. Check it out on your mobile phone – you’ll be astounded by how well it translates. That 3x4x4x4x3-reel grid seems to be made for a smaller screen.
If I must nitpick, I felt that the controls at the bottom seemed to be of a slightly different style to those on the side (I’m back to looking at my laptop version) but no matter. It still looks amazeballs.
We have ourselves 576 ways to win, an RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.
RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate. of 96.03%, and a high volatility. This fiat-only game has a restricted betting spread starting at €0.20 and topping out at just €10. But that’s OK because you can still pull in a generous €196,648 top prize.
Features
Our lady Sakura is the Wild and you’ll see her on the middle 3 reels. She can also nudge in and will take over the reel when that happens. Then, she’ll grant you a respin and become sticky for the following spin.
The sword Scatter will trigger a respin on the first and last reels, but only if you land 3 Scatters on the middle 3 reels. The spinning reels will only show Scatter symbols now, which means a greater chance of scooping up Free Spins.
This action continues until there are no more Scatters, or until 5 of them have landed.
3 Scatters = 9 Free Spins
4 Scatters = 10 Free Spins + 1 sticky Sakura Wild
5 Scatters = 11 Free Spins + 2 sticky Sakura Wilds
FORTUNE FREE SPINS:
Here, the Sakura Wild will always nudge and stack the reel it’s on, which means you get a respin and the Wild locks in place for the duration of the round. Lock 3 Sakura Wilds on their reels and she’ll multiply your wins by 3x.
Depending on which market you’re in, you may see a Buy feature where you can pay for Free Spins rather than relying on your good fortune.
Performance
Our lady Sakura slashed her way through triple-digit spins and not once did she grow weary or fail to deliver. I watched her work her magic on Chrome and Safari, as well as on my various devices, and it was all good.
Maximum Win
Forget Lady Luck – our sexy Sakura can secure a handsome fortune for you if you land the 19,665x multiplier at the max bet. And that princely sum works out to €196,648.
Conclusion
The original version of this game saw the light of day in 2017 and had a more traditional 5x4-reel grid with some offensive-looking controls lurking underneath.
This new incarnation has not only improved on the design but it’s also bumped up the original’s 40 paylines by taking it to 576 ways to win. The new game has sacrificed a tiny bit when it comes to the RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.
RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate. but it’s so minimal that you won’t feel the difference (96.61% for the OG vs 96.03% here).
Other improvements include the possibility of clinching 11 Free Spins and 2 sticky Sakura Wilds, as well as that 3x multiplier when you lock 3 Sakura Wilds.
If you liked the original game, then you should give this one a go – it’s so much better and definitely not just a reskin.
