Free slot: Sails of Fortune

How Sails of Fortune works

Sails of Fortune is a slot machine developed and published by the online gaming provider Relax Gaming. This slot was released in May 2021 and is available at all online casinos offering this provider. The latter, which has been rather discreet lately, has not been half-hearted with this latest creation since Sails of Fortune has an incredible potential, with a maximum win of more than 62,000 times your initial stake!

See you in the middle of the ocean in this slot! The theme of piracy is highlighted in Sails of Fortune. This is a very common theme in the online gambling world, and one that is very popular with users. This slot has a classic format, with 5 reels of 3 symbols. To win, you need to connect between 3 and 5 identical symbols (2 will suffice for the pirate, which is the best symbol).

The main feature of Sails of Fortune is the random appearance of mystery symbols. Once they appear, they all turn into a single symbol: this is the Mystery Map Re-Spin feature. On each re-spin, the mystery symbols will shift one row to the left. The re-spin continues as long as a mystery symbol is present on the Sails of Fortune grid.

The different symbols in Sails of Fortune

Many symbols are present in Sails of Fortune. These are the ones you have to connect to win on this slot. The symbols have different values depending on their rarity and are divided into 2 categories: classic symbols and premium symbols.

The former have the lowest value but are easier to connect. They are represented by the usual suits of a classic pack of cards, i.e. club, diamond, heart and spade. These classic symbols all have the same value, which you can see in the following image (€1 bet).

Sails of Fortune contains other symbols that are more difficult to connect but have a much higher payout: the premium symbols. These are represented by objects or characters strongly reminiscent of the theme of piracy, among which we find:

• The fish ;

• The bottle;

• The knife;

• The Pirate woman;

• The Pirate.

The infographic below shows the payout range for each premium symbol in Sails of Fortune (€1 bet).

The different connections of Sails of Fortune

As explained above, to win in this slot, you will need to connect between 3 and 5 identical symbols, except for the pirate. There are many connections available on Sails of Fortune. This is because this slot does not have any predefined paylines. Here, the connections are adjacent.

This means that a connection occurs when one and the same symbol is present on the first three reels from left to right, regardless of its location within the column.

Thanks to this system of ways, this slot offers 243 different ways to connect in the base game. The following image shows an example of an invalid connection on Sails of Fortune, on the left, and a valid connection, on the right.

Sails of Fortune Bonus Feature

Like many slot machines, Sails of Fortune offers its users access to a bonus feature where free spins are awarded. To reach these free spins, there are 2 ways to do so:

• See at least 3 scatter symbols, represented by the golden key, appear on the same spin;

• Purchase the bonus for an amount equivalent to 70 times your original bet.

You will then get 8 free spins on Sails of Fortune, as well as an additional free spin for each additional scatter.

During the Sails of Fortune bonus, the Mystery Map Re-Spin feature is still present with one major difference: each mystery symbol that appears is expandable. This means that it will span the entire reel. Re-spins awarded are not counted against the free spins.

On the left side of the grid, a gauge will appear. To fill it, you will need to get a chest which only appears on the last reel. When you get 4 chests, the mystery symbols that will expand will contain 4 times the same symbol instead of 3. If you get 12 chests, each mystery symbol will contain 6 symbols which will increase the ways and the wins.

Indeed, thanks to this feature, Sails of Fortune offers a total of up to 7,776 ways.
