Developer
NetEnt is not the developer that you’d associate with the Asian market, but they’ve been quickly adding new titles to their collection, which follow this type of design. Fortune Rangers is just one of them, and if you like it, then I’d suggest you also try games like Treasure Rain or Happy Riches.
How To Play It
Anywhere from 20 to 200 coins are selected for each round, using the Level which goes from 1 to 10. There is a second option that you’re given, to pick the coin value, and that one allows the bet to go from $0.20 to $200 per spin.
Whatever the wager that you select, the game will have 76 lines present on the slot’s unusual setup. It uses 3-3-4-4-5 symbols on its 5 reels. This is a game with regular winning combinations on paylines, not ways to win, so you do need symbols appearing in the correct positions, on the same line.
Special Features
The first major feature of Fortune Rangers that I’d like to mention, comes in the form of the Lucky Wild Reels. These will be randomly triggered while going through paid spins. It shows up as an overlay wild which covers a full reel and the symbols shown initially there.
The new wilds are used as substitutes for all winning combinations. The game will randomly pick 1 to 5 reels to turn into full wilds, when this feature triggers. Wilds are only substitutes for the regular symbols.
Yin Yang scatters, which you can get once per reel and up to 5 times total, will trigger 8, 12 or 16 free spins (3 to 5 required for this). The extra ability that comes from the free spins, will take the form of Linked Reels. You only get them in this mode, and they choose from among the first four reels, to have them linked together. They will show matching symbols, and they will be next to each other.
Maximum Payouts
Don’t let the game’s promise, of rewards of up to 152,000 coins, fool you. That’s only a return of 760x the stake, since you can have up to 200 coins in your wagers. Still, you can win $152,000 cash in a single spin of Fortune Rangers.
The features and system that’s used here will allow Fortune Rangers to be a slot with low volatility, which isn’t terribly risky to play. I love the RTP that it comes with, of 96.9%, since it’s above the average, even for a modern release.
Summary
Fortune Rangers is the type of game that NetEnt’s casual players will like, a slot with high RTP and low volatility, along with some interesting features and decent graphics.
