Fortune Tree Wild

Fortune Tree Wild Overview

Fortune Tree Wild is a Funky Games slot played in portrait on an irregular grid – three rows on the outer reels, four on the inner three – with 50 paylines running across it.

Its rules page states the central mechanic in two sentences, and they are worth having before anything else: the wild can appear on reel 2, 3 and 4, and each WILD symbol may receive a random multiplier: 1x, 2x, 3x, or 5x.

Theme and Graphics

Above the reels stands a golden money tree, its branches hung with Chinese coins and red tassels, rooted in a drift of gold ingots. Behind it are watercolour mountains – pink and lilac in the base game, turning to gold when the free spins run.

The reel frame is built as a temple roof in green tile with red eaves, and a plate on the right reads 50 LINES. The symbols are the money tree itself, a golden koi, a seated gold toad, a bundle of firecrackers, an orange marked with the character for good fortune, and card letters in bright paint.

All figures below come from demo play at a 100 stake.

The irregular grid is worth a second look. Three rows on the outer reels and four on the inner three is a shape you rarely see, and it makes the board look like the roof it is drawn inside – wider in the middle, tapering at the edges. It is decorative and structural at once.

The Paytable

The money tree leads at 2,000 for five, 200 for four and 100 for three – against the stake that is 20x, 2x and 1x. Note how steep that is: the top rung is ten times the one beneath it.

The koi and the toad share a rung at 300 / 100 / 30, and the firecrackers and the orange share another at 150 / 50 / 20 – 3x and 1.5x at the top.

Then the royals, and this is the flat part. The ace, king, queen, jack and ten all pay exactly 50 for five, 30 for four and 10 for three. Five symbols, identical at every level, returning half the stake for a complete five-symbol payline.

So half the symbol set is interchangeable, and a full line of the most common symbols on the board loses money. The scatter, a pot of gold, pays 2,000 / 1,000 / 200 – and its rule is generous: Win a prize if any 3 or more appear on the screen, with no payline required.

The demo confirms it: three scatters landing across the middle reels paid 200, exactly the published figure.

Scatter pays of that shape are worth noticing. Two times the stake for three of them, ten times for four and twenty for five means the scatter is not only a trigger but a paying symbol in its own right – and at 20x for five it matches the money tree, the best regular symbol on the board.

The Wild and Its Multiplier

The wild is a gold coin with WILD written across it, and the rules restrict it to the three inner reels – the tall ones. It cannot start a combination on reel one and cannot finish one on reel five; its job is entirely to bridge the middle.

What makes it matter is the multiplier. Each wild may carry 1x, 2x, 3x or 5x, drawn at random, and the demo shows several on the board at once.

One base-game board carries two coins reading 2x and a third reading WILD along the bottom row, with another wild above them, for a result of 670 – 6.7 times the stake.

Inside the free spins the same mechanic escalates. One board shows three wilds on the inner reels alongside a coin reading 5x, for a spin total of 2,890. Another, with the counter down to its final spin, shows four wilds and a 5x for 6,440 – 64 times the stake, with a floating 1,250 marking one of the contributing lines.

What That Structure Produces

Set those figures against the paytable and the design becomes clear. The best possible payline – five money trees – pays 20x. The demo’s best free-spins result was 64x, and it came from wilds carrying multipliers rather than from a premium combination.

On a fifty-line grid with wilds confined to three reels, a single 5x coin sits on a large share of the paths running through the middle of the board. Two or three of them together, each multiplying whatever they complete, is how a 20x paytable produces a 64x spin.

The restriction to reels two, three and four is doing real work here. Confining the multiplier wilds to the tall middle columns means they always land where the most lines cross, which is why they are worth as much as they are.

It also means a player can read a board quickly. Wilds only ever appear in three of the five columns, so there is no point watching the outer reels for them – the question on every spin is simply what the middle is doing.

RTP, Volatility and Max Win

The RTP is 96%, right at the modern standard, and the maximum win is 5,000x the bet. Volatility is rated Medium.

Medium looks generous given the paytable. Five identical royals returning half the stake for a full line means a great many winning spins are losing spins, and the demo’s balance drifts steadily downward between the two feature captures.

What supports the rating is the frequency. Fifty lines on eighteen positions with wilds available on three of the five reels produce something on most spins, and the scatter paying from three anywhere adds another regular source of small returns.

The route to 5,000x is visible and needs no extra machinery: twenty times the stake from five money trees, multiplied by a 5x wild, is 100x; several such lines on one board inside a free spins round covers the rest. The game does not hide its arithmetic, and the rules page spells out the only part that matters.
