Fortune rewind Slot

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. 

Fortune rewind Gameplay

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.
