Fortune Llama Base Game and Features
Fortune Llama is a 6 reel slot with 4,096 ways to win. Winning combinations will form when 3 or more of the same symbols land from left to right, starting from the left-most reel.
The minimum bet available here is £/€0.20 per spin and the maximum bet available is £/€100 per spin, with plenty of other options in between the two. Fortune Llama has a theoretical RTP of 96.00% and a max win cap of 7,075x.
In terms of symbols, the highest paying regular symbol here is the Gorilla, followed by the Flamingo, Pig, Zebra and Bear. Low-paying symbols are standard Ace, King, Queen, Jack, Ten and Nine. Wilds appear only on reels 1 and 2, substituting for all other symbols except Scatters.
Llama Symbols
Gold Llamas can appear only on reels 3, 4, 5 and 6 in the base game and on all reels during Free Spins.
The Big Llama symbol will appear on reel 3 during the Big Spin. Once active, the Big Llama counts for 16 individual Llama symbols.
Fortune Meter
To the left of the reel set sits a Multiplier Meter. Each time a Llama symbols lands in view, it will add +1 Point to this Meter.
This meter upgrades the Free Spins Multiplier progressively, up to a maximum of x100 when the meter is filled with 100 Points.
After each Multiplier upgrade, the Meter will reset back to 0, ready to be filled again for the next available Multiplier value. If the number of Points exceeds 100, the Multiplier will upgrade and the remaining Points will be added to the meter after it resets.
Once the Multiplier Meter reaches x100, no points will be added to the meter until the Free Spins round has been triggered. At the end of Free Spins, the Multiplier is automatically reset back to x1.
Wild Wild Feature
Landing a Wild symbol on each of reels 1 and 2 in the base game triggers the Wild Wild Feature.
Any Llama symbols that land during this time will reveal a random Cash Prize between 0.25x and 20x your bet. All Cash Prizes will be added together with any normal wins and applied to your current balance.
Big Spin
Each time a Llama symbol lands on the reels, it will mark its position with a Gold Frame, if not already marked.
Each marked position will remain across the reel set until the Big Spin is triggered. Filling all 16 positions on reels 3, 4, 5 and 6 with Gold Frames triggers the Big Spin Feature.
The Big Spin is an extra spin played after the current base game spin. During this time, Wilds are guaranteed to land on reels 1 and 2 only.
The remaining reels are combined and spin together as reel 3, where only the Big Llama and Blanks can land. The Big Llama will transform into individual Llama symbols once the Big Spin is complete.
Each individual Llama symbol will reveal a random Cash Prize between 0.25x and 20x your current bet, which are added together and paid at the end of the feature.
Persistent State
The Free Spins multiplier, Fortune Meter and marked positions are automatically saved per bet so you won’t lose your progress made.
Fortune Llama Free Spins
Landing 3 Diamond Scatters on reels 1, 2 and 3 triggers the Free Spins round, awarding 3 Free Spins.
During Free Spins, 3 Llama symbols are placed randomly across the middle 4 reels, locking into place. Unlocked positions transform into individual spinning reels. Only Blank and Llama symbols are present on these reels.
If new Llama symbols land during this time, they will also lock into their positions and the number of Free Spins is reset back to 3. Each locked Llama symbol will reveal a random Cash Prize between 0.25x and 20x your bet.
When all positions on any reel are stacked with Llama symbols, all Cash Prizes are collected and the reel is cleared. At the end of Free Spins, all Cash Prizes are added together and Multiplied by the Multiplier Meter collected from the base game.
Fortune Llama: Our Verdict
Fantasma Games are always coming up with fresh and creative ideas for the themes of their games, some are more ‘out there’ than others, but they’re brilliant nonetheless.
Since the release of Cloud Corsairs, we can’t help but feel that Fantasma Games has taken their eye off the ball slightly. Goat Rush and Prometheus Titan of Fire certainly looked the part, but they lacked in the gameplay department in our opinion.
Fortune Llama brings back the confidence we once had in Fantasma titles, but does it tick all the boxes? The base game certainly has a lot going on if you’re into that kind of thing. The Wild Wild and Big Spin features make for really great gameplay, plus the added bonus of the Multiplier Meter in the Free Spins round.
Another thing that Fantasma Games’ latest releases have been lacking is potential. Prometheus Titan of Fire hit us hard with a max win cap of 1,356x, as did Goat Rush with a mere 3,344x, but here you can get your hands on a decent 7,075x.
All in all, Fortune Llama is funky, colourful, and full of potential and will have you boogying the whole time!
