Theme of The Game

With just as many reels, but using a different type of setup, Sakura Fortune 2 is an impressive follow-up for a very well-made slot machine from Quickspin. The excellent graphics of its predecessor were even improved a bit in the sequel. The focus remains the same, on the beautiful cherry blossoms of Japan, something that’s enjoyed by many each year. We see them in the slot’s background, to the left and right of the screen, with stairs leading to a temple in the middle.

Among the symbols that were used by Sakura Fortune 2, we find the impressive Sakura Wild, an expanding symbol, along with the Sword Scatter. Others would be premium symbols with Sensei, Tomoe, and Yoshida, followed by the Jizo and Koi Statues. The four low symbols are various coins, with square holes in the middle, and made of different metals (jade, bronze, silver, gold).

Developer

Besides the slot machines from the Sakura series, Quickspin has an impressive number of other releases of similar quality. Whether you’re looking at older games like Big Bad Wolf and Goldilocks, or at recent titles like High Street Heist, they always seem to do the right thing, delivering excellent graphics and fun gameplay.

How To Play It Sakura Fortune 2

Sakura Fortune 2 gives you a list of 16 possible bet values, with the range being between $0.20 and $100. It’s a standard list then, and you can pick whatever bet fits your play style and budget.

The setup of this slot machine works with the usual 5 reels, but their size is not standard. We see 3-4-4-4-3 symbols on them, and that allows it to offer 576 ways to win (possible winning combinations). As usual, a win requires 3 or more symbols arranged on adjacent reels, going left to right.

Special Features

If you look at the reels from the middle of the game area, the bigger ones, you will sometimes see expanding wilds landing there. The Sakura Wilds are stacked, but as they always nudge in place to cover all positions, they end up doing the same thing as an expanding symbol.

There is an additional feature that is associated with these wilds. Whenever one lands, and takes over its reel, the game gives you 1 re-spin. A total of 3 re-spins are possible, if you get all three middle reels with these wilds on them. For the re-spins, the wild reels are locked, so only the rest change. With the ways to win system, the effect can be impressive if enough wild reels are sticky.

The area with the middle reels is where most of the action seems to happen. That’s where the Sword scatters will land as well, and having three of these visible will result in a re-spin of reels 1 and 5. Only these scatters may land there, and this could bring an improved version of the free spins.

Once a wild appears during the free spins, it covers the reel, and it become sticky for the rest of the feature. You also get an additional free spin thanks to it.

For maximum effect, you need all three wild reels locked in, as this also adds a 3x multiplier for all wins.

Maximum Payouts

Ultimately, what players care most about is getting paid. A top jackpot of 22,482x the stake is on the line in Sakura Fortune 2. As unlikely as that prize might be for the average player, it’s still a worthy target and one that goes further than those from many other slots. The RTP range has three values, with the best one at 96.03%.

Summary

Looking at everything that Sakura Fortune 2 has to offer, I would recommend it to anyone that loved the original. Some things have changed, but the game is still very good.
