Devilish Fortunes

Devilish Fortunes Slot Review

A red devil sprawls in a purple wingback armchair, cigar in one hand and a flaming golden goblet in the other, his hair burning like a torch above a floor of gold coins. Devilish Fortunes hides its real game under all that gold: the reels are almost secondary, and most of what this slot pays is banked before the bonus even starts. It’s Triple Edge Studios at their most patient, dressed in glossy, hot-lit cartoon kitsch.

The build is a 5×3 grid with 720 ways, very high volatility, 96.01% RTP and stakes from 0.20 to 50.00 per spin. It’s a cousin of Rising Rewards and the Fire and Roses Joker series, with the same fondness for meters that fill slowly. Whether the devil pays as generously as he decorates is the question.

Base Game & Features

Wins run left to right across 720 ways, with matching symbols on adjacent reels from the first reel onwards. If several combinations land on a single way, only the highest one counts. The total payout is the sum of every way win from the spin. It’s a standard ways setup, told plainly and nothing more.

Wilds appear on reels two, three and four, substituting for everything except the Free Spins Scatters and the Jackpot Trigger symbols. They stack. A full stack across the middle reels is where the bigger base game wins come from.

Rising Rewards Jackpot Feature

The route to a jackpot runs through the Jackpot Trigger symbols. Collecting them grants a chance of a spin of the Jackpot Wheel, and only the triggers collected on the current spin count. The wheel is divided into coloured segments, one per jackpot, and the landing segment pays out.

The rising part is what makes it interesting. Each Trigger symbol that lands adds 0.5x the bet to the jackpot on its reel, and values scale with your bet. Each jackpot climbs until it reaches its cap. Once one is awarded, that jackpot resets to its starting value and the climb begins again.

It can hit in both the base game and free spins, though never on a Free Spins trigger. Five jackpots sit on the ladder, shown above each reel:

• Top jackpot: 1,000x the bet
• Second jackpot: 202x the bet
• Third jackpot: 50x the bet
• Fourth jackpot: 10.5x the bet
• Fifth jackpot: 5x the bet

Those are the ladder values as displayed at a 2.00 stake, and they move with your bet. The collection pot in the corner is purely decorative; the wheel decides, not the pot. The odds of the wheel spinning can also shift as the jackpot values change, so a fat ladder isn’t only eye candy.

The wheel’s five segments sit behind the reels in the base game too, a multicoloured ring looming behind the flame-lettered logo. It’s a persistent reminder of where the money is. Landing the thing is the hard part, and the ladder does its best to soften the wait.

Devilish Fortunes Free Spins & Multipliers

Free Spins

One or more Free Spins Scatters on every reel triggers the feature, awarding four free spins to start. Each scatter that landed on the trigger then adds either one extra spin or 1x to the Free Spins Multiplier. The round always begins with at least six spins.

Scatters can land stacked in the base game, which is how the spin count climbs quickly: a full scatter stack on the fifth reel can add several bonuses at once. The choice between spin and multiplier isn’t yours to make; the game awards one or the other per scatter. Everything else about the round, in order:

• 4 free spins awarded on trigger, minimum 6 after scatter bonuses
• Trigger pay of 1x the total bet
• Bets and ways identical to the triggering spin
• Multiplier applies to way wins and retrigger pays
• Retrigger and Jackpot Wheel both blocked on the final spin

Rising Rewards Free Spins Multiplier

The multiplier sits in its own meter beside the reels. In the base game, Free Spins Scatters landing on exactly four reels raise it by 0.5x, up to a maximum of 10x accumulated. Triggering the bonus with scatters on all five reels can push it to 15x on entry.

Once you’re inside the round it can’t grow any further. It applies to way wins and retrigger pays, then resets to 1x when the round ends. So the base game isn’t dead time between bonuses: every four-reel scatter landing is doing real work for a round that may arrive much later.

Retriggers

Scatters on all five reels during the round hand you a fresh batch of spins. The retrigger count equals the number of spins you started with, so a six-spin entry retrigger is worth six more. It also pays 1x the total bet multiplied by the Free Spins Multiplier. At 15x, that pay alone is 15x the bet.

The only door that’s closed is the last spin. Nothing can extend the round from there, and the Jackpot Wheel is blocked on it too, so the final spin of a big round carries no retrigger hope however it lands.

Our Honest Verdict

Overall Rating: 7.1/10

This is a game of long sits in a very comfortable chair. The reason to choose it over any other jackpot slot is that the wheel never walks away empty: five segments, five payouts, no dead spin. That guarantee, plus the ladder that keeps climbing between hits, is what the whole design protects.

Its best idea is that nothing is wasted. Every trigger symbol feeds a jackpot even when the wheel doesn’t come, and every four-reel scatter miss still fattens the multiplier for a round that might arrive a hundred spins later. Its worst is the round itself: four spins before the scatter bonuses is thin, the multiplier is frozen once you’re inside, and the big money arrives through one wheel segment rather than anything the reels build.

For players who love a climbing ladder and a payoff that’s always banked somewhere, this is one of the better-looking versions of that idea. Anyone after frequent wins and a busy base game will find the parlour richly decorated and thinly populated. The devil keeps a good room, and patience is the price of admission.

Devilish Fortunes FAQs

• What is the RTP of Devilish Fortunes?

  The RTP is 96.01%, which is the total expected return including the jackpot contribution.
• Is Devilish Fortunes high volatility?

  Yes, it’s rated very high volatility, with a hit frequency of 24.74%, so wins land on roughly a quarter of spins but payouts can be a long time coming.
• How do you trigger the Jackpot Wheel in Devilish Fortunes?

  Gather Jackpot Trigger symbols on a single spin for a chance at the wheel. Every trigger collected on that spin counts towards the attempt, and the wheel can arrive in the base game or during free spins, just not on a Free Spins trigger.
• How do you trigger free spins in Devilish Fortunes?

  You need one or more Free Spins Scatters on every reel. Four free spins are awarded, and each triggering scatter adds either an extra spin or 1x to the multiplier, with a minimum of six spins to start the round.
• How does the Free Spins Multiplier work in Devilish Fortunes?

  Scatters landing on exactly four reels in the base game raise the multiplier by 0.5x, up to 10x. It can reach 15x on entering free spins, applies to way wins and retrigger pays during the round, can’t increase inside it, and resets to 1x once it’s over.
• What does a free spins retrigger pay in Devilish Fortunes?

  A retrigger, which needs scatters on all five reels during the round, hands you the same number of spins you began with and a pay of 1x the total bet multiplied by the Free Spins Multiplier, so it scales with the work you did in the base game.
• How many ways to win does Devilish Fortunes have?

  There are 720 ways to win, paying left to right across a 5×3 grid, with only the highest combination counting on each way.
• Who makes Devilish Fortunes?

  Devilish Fortunes is made by Triple Edge Studios, the studio behind the Rising Rewards series and the Fire and Roses Joker line. Stakes run from 0.20 to 50.00 per spin.
