Fortune Hill Slots - Playtech
ABOUT FORTUNE HILL SLOTS
Fortune Hill made its way to top Playtech casinos in January 2014 and the first signs have been more than positive. The 3D video slots comes with five reels, twenty five paylines and three rows of symbols, with interesting storyline and a plethora of bonus rounds and extra features likely to leave casino gamers thoroughly impressed.
The action revolves around an amicable elf who has set out to climb a hill where all of his favourite food comes in abundance. The problem is that the hill is guarded by a scary-looking troll, but an old magician and friendly fairy are prepared to help the elf succeed in his quest without waking up the giant troll. Help the main character through various bonus games and there will be plenty of gold coins coming your way.
HOW TO PLAY
It is highly recommended that you activate maximum 25 paylines for the best possible payouts, but you can change the amount using + and – within 'lines'. You will notice that coin level option is not supported, but the only reason for that is an incredible array of 12 different coin denominations, ranging from $0.01 to $25.
Old Magician acts as Wild symbol, substituting for all non-feature icons while also awarding payouts on its own. Rainbow Free Games icon is Scatter, with its sole purpose being to award entry into the Free Spins round. Players need at least three matching symbols on an active payline left to right to win, with autoplay and turbo mode options also available. Press 'INFO' to access the game's paytable.

Scatter Symbol
While Fortune Hill does not have a Scatter symbol in a traditional sense of the word since neither of the Scatter-like icons award any payouts, the Free Games and Bonus icons both act as Scatter given that they trigger different special features regardless of its position on the reels. And while Free Games symbols appearing on reels 1, 3 and 5 trigger the Rainbow Free Games, Bonus icons occurring on reels 1 and 5 activate the Magic Mushrooms Bonus.

Even if we leave the numerous special features aside, you can still receive hefty payouts. Get five Old Magician Wilds to appear on an active payline and you will win 5,000 credits or up to $125,000. And in case the Fortune Wheel stops on a x4 symbol, said payout will be quadrupled.
