Fiona’s Fortune

Head over to the Emerald Isle for yet another slot with Fiona's Fortune, the title from Gold Coin Studios. This online slot has an Irish theme, where you'll be playing in the middle of lush green fields and accompanied by the beautiful Fiona. But that's not all you'll find there; if you hit the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, you could collect a top payout of x5000.

Gold Coin Studios isn't a name that many players will be familiar with, but in 2021 they teamed up with industry big guns Microgaming. Fiona's Fortune is the 9th online slot that Gold Coin have released, and the first one to take a trip to Ireland. Other titles include Dr Wildshock Mad Loot Lab, Treasure Tracks, Smooth Sailing, Bushi Sushi, and more. You'll notice the flame-haired Fiona from this slot also seems to make an appearance in two others; one as a ship's officer and another train ticket collector! 

But turning your attention back to the tranquil Irish landscape, Fiona's Fortunes is an online slot that's played on a 5x3 board. This includes 25 traditional paylines and with a betting range that goes from 0.20 to 40.00. This is rather a modest max bet, but this matches well with the top payout of x5000, which is only average, plus the medium volatility. In short, you can expect prizes, but you may be waiting a while for a big hit.

As an Ireland-themed slot, you've probably got quite a good idea what to expect, and you won't be far wrong. Fiona's Fortune makes the most of the stereotypical Irish adventure - but just because it's predictable, doesn't mean it's not enjoyable! The rolling green countryside is beautiful, while the detailing on the reels and the backdrop provide a rich and immersive setting. 

The low pays are the playing card symbols that regular players will have seen countless times before on other slots. The premium pays offer a more creative theme with a harp, a toadstool and a pint of Guinness.  

Fiona herself is a wild, and when she appears on reels 2-5 she can substitute for any of the low or high pays.  

There's more than a hint of Rainbow Riches about this slot, but there's nothing basic here. Instead, you'll find a whole host of bonus features which could fill up your proverbial pot with far more golden coins than you'd expect.  

Golden coins are one of the special symbols on the board which can land on reels 1-4. If you land golden coins at the same time as a pot of gold on reel 5, you’ll get to keep the cash value they display as part of the Express Collect feature. 

If you land the pot of gold on reel 5 and the bonus wheel on reels 1-4, you'll open the Wheel Bonus. The wheel, which is typically half-hidden from view at the side of the board opens up into full screen, and you'll be given a spin. Potential prizes include an instant payout of x2 to x10, or one of the three prize pots: Mini (x20), Major (x400) or Mega (x5000). You can also be awarded the Link & Win feature from the bonus wheel,  

The Link & Win feature is included in a number of Microgaming slots, and works in a similar way to the Pragmatic Play Hold & Spin mechanism. It can be triggered either by landing special symbols or through a bonus feature; with Fiona's Fortune, it's the latter. You'll start with three respins, but these will be reset every time you land a golden coin. The regular symbols are removed for this feature, and the aim is to fill up the grid with golden coins. The bonus finishes when you either run out of respins or the board has a golden coin in every spot. If you manage this, you'll be awarded the top Mega prize pot.  

Back in the base game, there are also free spins which you can unlock by landing three scatters. You'll receive ten free spins with the chance to retrigger them if you land more scatters.

Fiona's Fortune from Gold Coin Studios and Microgaming isn't your typical Irish-themed slot. It's rammed full of different features with three prize pots, giving players a thoroughly entertaining online slot machine. It may not have the biggest payouts around, but there are multiple chances to win, so the potential for a steady stream of prizes is pretty good.
