Fortune Lions Pokie Review
This is yet another Asian themed video-pokie. This one in particular is based in the Chinese traditions on New Year, meaning that you’ll find all kinds of Chinese-related symbols such as dancing dragons, red envelopes, golden coins, firecrackers, moon cakes and red lanterns.
This video pokie has a dancing dragon as its main image, which is known to be a luck symbol in Chinese culture and folklore, so you’ll see the importance of having a rather appropriate good fortune symbol in a video pokie.
Just like the real holiday, Fortune Lions has all those amazing design details and colors that we all love about this oriental background.
Developer
The company responsible for the development of this game is Game Art. Since their inception in 2013, they’ve become one the fastest growing developing companies in the market focusing on quality video pokies running in HTML5 and Flash architectures, meaning that they can provide their gaming experience in both desktop and mobile devices.
This Malta based company is not just about developing games. Their software also ensures online casino operators an efficient, safe and legal platform working upon the basis of probity and randomness.
How to play the pokie
This game has the typical 5×4 layout, and it features 50 paylines, meaning that there’s plenty of wins available for the punter. The problem is that, if you like to gamble hard, this game won’t give you that thrill you’re looking for because of its low volatility.
However, for those seeking for adrenaline, there are some free spins and double or nothing bonus games that you can enjoy.
This game also has a customization bar at the bottom of the pokie, where you can see the options and the rules of the game, set the amount of bets per line, set the wager on each payline that goes from 0.01 to 0.50, and the Auto Play option in which you can set from 25 to 500 auto spins where the machine places your bets for you.
The highest reward symbols are the gilded coins, followed by the moon cakes, the dancing dragons and the red envelopes. The Scatter symbol is represented by the red lantern and the Wild symbol is a golden dragon. The lowest reward comes from the generic filler symbols A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9.

Special Features
One of the special features presented by Fortune Lions is that one triggered by the Scatter, which you’ll get by landing 3 red lantern symbols in a row on reels 1, 2 and 3 simultaneously. Consisting in 10 free spins, after which a golden lion symbol will be added to the rest of the reels until the end of the special feature.
For those gamblers who want to take more of a risk and increase their profits on each win, there’s the gambling feature, which is a fairly simple game that consists in guessing the color of a face down card. If you win, your bet is doubled and can be doubled up to five times. If you lose, all the money will be gone.
Maximum payout
In this game it is less likely for punters to find five-in-a-row wins with the higher reward icons of the video pokie. But in case you’re very lucky, you could potentially hit a 1,000x your stake jackpot by landing five red lions on the paylines.
Other than that, the low value on the wager and a decent RTP will give you a small amount of rewards on each win that will suit most conservative and shy bettors, but bore those riskier ones.
Summary
Fortune Lions is a tribute to all those Asian video pokie games out there. It is fun, it is simple, it has good video graphics. Although they could’ve done a better work in terms of soundtrack, the special effects sounds are good.
This is an interesting game in which you can spend a few hours and you’ll enjoy if you’re a moderate player. However, like we just stated above, those punters wanting high rewards will be easily and rapidly annoyed by what Fortune Lions has to offer.
