Who is Fiona and how did she make her fortune?
Who knows? All we know is that she wears a Santa hat and the Fiona’s Christmas Fortune slot is a festive game from Gold Coin Studios set in a cute Christmas village where you can find all sorts of gifts. Sounds good! We’ll take it Fi!
OK, so this is a blatant December themed game, but it’s a good ‘un. Gold Coin have gone to town on the design here and its packed full of features. Let’s take a look.
Fiona’s Christmas Fortune Facts
Fiona’s Christmas Fortune is a 5 reel and 4 row online and mobile slot from Gold Coin Studios. This is a medium volatility slot with 25 pay-lines and an RTP of 96%.
The maximum win is 5000x your bet, the same as Boat Bonanza from Play ‘n GO. That’s where the similarities end though. Fiona’s game was launched in November 2022 in time for the holidays.
Fiona is pretty generous. She gives out Wilds, Scatters, Bonuses, Prizes, a Wheel Bonus, Link&Win, and Free Spins.
Look and Feel
It is undoubtedly Christmas with festive tunes and snow aplenty. The game has a warm and cozy feel to it, you know log fires burning with the snow coming down outside, that kind of thing.
The graphics are sharp and there’s plenty of atmosphere with the jingling of gold coins and reindeer hooves about. They’ve laid it on thick! But it works.
To the left of the 5×3 reel set, you’ll see the bonus wheel (more on that later) and the Mega, Major and Mini jackpot amounts are displayed on the top: covered in snow of course. There are some great animations on the reels which will keep you entertained and in the festive mood.
Game Play
The lower-paying symbols are the classic playing card symbols: 10, J, Q, K, and A. Five-of-a-kind with one of these will pay 2.4x-3x the bet.
The higher-paying symbols are more Christmassy, with presents, candles, and gingerbread houses. 5 on a payline triggers a 6x-8x your bet win. The red head with the Santa hat, Fiona, is Wild, and she will stand in for other symbols to help you make up wins in the time honoured fashion.
You may also see Baubles, (the Prize Symbols), that trigger a win if you land a sack of presents on the same go. Then there are 2 bonus features that set off two different features. The Free Spins Holly Wreath symbol triggers the Free Spins, and the Bonus Wheel Symbol starts the Wheel Bonus. Let’s take a look at the extras!
Fiona’s Christmas Fortune Features
Free Spins
The Christmas wreath scatter lands on reels 2, 3, and 4. Landing 3 of them triggers 10 Free Spins. The bonus games is similar to the base game, but the Prize symbols are more valuable. You can retrigger the free spins by landing 3 more Scatters during Free Spins.
Prize Symbol
Then there are the Christmas tree Baubles that land on reels 1-4. These contain prizes between 1x-400x your win. If you land a Trigger Symbol on the last reel (5), you collect the Bauble Win.
Bonus Symbol
The Bonus symbol lands on reel 1. You also need a Trigger symbol to land on the 5th reel to get into the Wheel Bonus.
Wheel Bonus
If you get in, you will spin the wheel. The wheel has the following pockets, where you can win:
2x, 5x, 10x, 20x, 400x, 5000x, Link&Win Feature
If you land on a multiplier, you win that prize.
Link&Win
The Link&Win bonus sets off if you land in that pocket in the Wheel Bonus.
You will get 3 spins, which reset each time you get a new symbol. You will hopefully see Baubles with multipliers. You will win the total of all of the multipliers added up when you get to the end of your spins. If you fill all the spaces on the reels, you win the Mega Prize of 5000x your bet. Good luck!
