A new slot game from PlaynGo Fortune rewind has a motto 'Time for a new adventure'. Is this adventure actually new? “Doesn’t matter what we’ll do, we’ll make money.” - this is what PlaynGo tells me with their Fortune rewind slot. Likewise, the idea of travelling in time has been a popular manifestation of Hubris, which means Ego. As PlaynGO guys would say on their site: "We know what operators and players want. And that’s the key to creating content that stands the test of time." Really?
PlaynGo is arguably the strongest studio when it comes to telling stories, something that, for example, Big Time Gaming actually lacks. Likewise, the storyboard of Fortune rewind looks quite well-developed: I can almost see like each 'vignette' or sketch lay on the artist's table. Here's Dr. Tempis, a young scientific genius, whose father is lost in time, so she has invented a machinery called Time Modulator to travel back and forth in time to help him out. Stop ... or is it her who is lost in time and left the side of her father? Anyway, while Dr. Tempis is in the centre of the story of the lost child, it is you and me who make bets.
Apparently, PlayNGO has already made their bet, and they bet on entertainment. Judging by the way they see entertainment, it is a losing bet in the industry of RMG in my opinion... The problem with slots is that all slots make some kind of money. So people mistake money-making for success and become overconfident. But the truth is that data is more important than opinion, and that money-making is just the beginning, not the end, of creating a great slot. You want to make sure your slot has high retention to work long-term. How do you create retention? Listen to data across the market. Put aside ego. Listen to data.
Now, let's look at some data through my eyes. The game is dead as heaven on a Saturday night. In the first 50 spins I hardly got 5 wins and lost 88 euro altogether. The game simply doesn't play. It is boring and apparently lacks a kind of thrill a good mathematics can bring. The 5x3 grid with 20 fixed playlines simply looks empty. The horizontal 'signal' reel where, for example, BTG will put additional symbols, etc looks void. Look what they out there, in the most visible spot on the screen: a year where the action takes place. I bet they think that's the most important info I must see in the first place.
The slot's backdrop imagery would include a cabinet in a scientists mansion where the time travel begins as well as 6 settings, corresponding to 6 different ages, so that a player can travel along in time during the base game or a free spins rounds: from prehistoric times to Ancient Egypt and further to the times of the Wild West, at least that's where I got. Since the lady scientist is a centrepiece of the 'Fortune rewind' game's perspective, she will make the times change. Interestingly, while there are different sound tracks for each age (a great job by the studio), the symbols stay the same. Yet, the dinosaur skull looks weird beside the time machine or sheriff's star. It's like an assortment of different artefacts, times and settings. That being said, PlaynGo should be thinking of using their corporate time wisely lest the competitors are not too far ahead in time....
Fortune rewind lacks features too, it makes this slot game very basic and flat. I would rather have them spend at least a half of the time out into story and design on maths. What a player is left to do is wait for a Free Spins round. But when you hit the Bonus Game it does not bring much joy either... Landing 3 Time Modulator symbol triggers 15 free spins with a multiplier of x15 (retriggerable). Free spins game has only High Paying symbols, which is fun by the way. And there's also a Wanted symbol that is a rare treat. The Fortune rewind RTP is RTP is 96.27% (with options of 94.27% / 91.28% / 87.28% / 84.26%). Hit rate feels quite low. Volatility is declared as high. Max win is 8,500x the bet.
Reviews by bigwinboard.com and online-slot.co.uk were suprisingy positive by saying nothing in particular. Hey, bigwinboard.com have you been paid by PlaynGo for reviewing their slots and have signed an agreement not to talk bad?!
aboutslots.com goes all the way to praise it even to say that ... The max win of 8500X the bet is pretty solid for this highly volatile game... Well, it's hard to think what you'd say of Max Megaways in this case.
