Lure of Fortune Slot Review

Lure of Fortune Slot Overview

Lure of Fortune is a fishing themed slot from Relax Gaming where I join a grizzled captain and his quirky crew on a 5x5 grid using cluster pays. Wins land when four or more matching symbols touch horizontally or vertically, then the cascade mechanic kicks in and clears them, allowing fresh symbols to drop. It feels closer to a modern puzzle slot than a classic line game, which suits the constantly shifting sea vibe.

What really hooked me is the way Lure of Fortune lets me pick my poison through three modes that shift volatility and visual style. Medium mode plays out under bright sunshine, high mode brings rain, and extremely high mode throws me into a snowstorm. Under the surface it is the same game, but risk profile, base game punch and bonus potential change so much that it feels like three variants in one.

Lure of Fortune Slot Information

On the technical side Lure of Fortune runs on a 5x5 grid in the base game with cluster pays instead of fixed lines. Stakes start at 0.10 per spin and can reach 200 if I sit in medium mode, 50 in high or 20 in extremely high mode, so bankroll planning matters. The default RTP sits at 96.10 percent, though some operators can run lower models at 95.45 or even 91.39 percent.

Volatility is high across the board, but each mode has its own profile and reward cap. Medium mode hits more often with a hit frequency around 24.76 percent and a max win of 5,000x. High mode drops to roughly 22.14 percent with 20,000x potential, while extremely high mode goes down to around 20.66 percent but raises the ceiling to a mighty 50,000x. Free spins frequency also stretches out as I climb the volatility ladder.

Lure of Fortune Symbols and Paytable

The paytable in Lure of Fortune revolves around nine regular symbols. Low pays are four colourful shells, while the medium tier is made up of the captain’s worm, an electric eel, a plump fish and a red octopus. The captain himself is the premium symbol. In a perfect 25 symbol cluster the shells pay up to 11x the bet, the sea creatures reach 22x and a full grid of captains pays 30x. There is no wild, only that golden pearl scatter.

Lure of Fortune Slot Features

Every spin in Lure of Fortune is built around cascades and the Multiplier Upgrade mechanic. Whenever I hit a cluster, the winning symbols vanish and fresh ones drop down, giving me a chance to keep a single spin alive for several drops. This works hand in hand with the symbol ladders shown to the side of the grid, one for each pay symbol, and those ladders are where big base game hits start to take shape.

Each symbol type begins with a 1x multiplier. When that symbol is part of a winning cluster, its multiplier doubles, so it jumps from 1x to 2x, then 4x, 8x and so on. At the start of any spin the game can randomly upgrade some multipliers as a kicker. Caps depend on the chosen mode, topping out at 32x in medium, 64x in high and a hefty 128x in extremely high mode, before everything resets after a dead spin.

Bonus Game in Lure of Fortune

The bonus game in Lure of Fortune triggers when I land three scatters in the base game. The layout then shifts into a hold and win style feature played across six reels, with respins. I start with three spins on the counter, which reset every time any symbol lands on reels one to six. Five coin symbols with bet multipliers sit on the second row of reels one to five, while reel six carries a vertical ladder of row multipliers.

During the bonus, reels one to five can land several modifier coins. Fish reveal a value and slot in above any existing symbol, nudging everything up. Hammers shove all symbols on that reel one step upwards. Payers add their value to every symbol on that reel, Doublers double all values there, and Spawners copy a symbol together with its amount, dropping the clone one position below. It becomes a little engine that keeps pushing values higher up the grid.

Reel six has its own set of modifiers working on the multiplier ladder. Golden Hammers move all rows up, ladder Payers increase every ladder value by one, and ladder Doublers double the entire ladder. A special Bonus symbol changes the respin counter from three to four. Then there are persistent versions of Hammer, Payer and Spawner that act after every spin on random reels. When my spins finally run out, every coin value is multiplied by its row multiplier and paid, whether it reached the very top or not.

Lure of Fortune Slot Verdict

After a long session with Lure of Fortune I rate it as one of the more flexible fishing slots around. Being able to flick between three modes gives me proper control over how wild I want the swings, and the symbol multipliers stop the base game from feeling like dead water between features. The bonus does not always explode, but when the right modifiers line up on both sides of the grid it can erupt in a very satisfying way.
