Nile Fortune (Pragmatic Play) Slot Demo & Review

It can sometimes feel as an online slot player that although you may have never visited the land of pharaohs, because of the vast amount of Egyptian slots on the market, you could name every reigning king and queen from all 33 dynasties. I guess you’ll be pleased to learn there’s yet another title coming your way in the shape of Pragmatic Play’s Nile Fortune slot game. Stats-wise, we’ve got a 5-reel slot with 20 paylines, a respectable RTP of 96.03% and a max win of just 2,500x bet.

There’s one prominent feature running through the heart of Nile Fortune, and that’s the Mystery Modifers Feature, triggered when a special symbol lands on reels 2 and 4 in the base game. This will then award a respin where 1 of 3 modifiers will activate to give you a chance of landing a win. The game comes with a free spins feature too, and when this round is in play, the special symbols appear more frequently and will now land on reels 2, 3, and 4 for extra chances to activate it.

I guess if we’re to look on the bright side of things, at least this isn’t another Egyptian themed expanding symbol slot, but that could prove to be little consolation yet. Make your own mind up on this game and try our free Nile Fortune slot demo that’s ready to play below.

Nile Fortune Paytable

Egyptian slots are almost synonymous with the “book of” games, particularly the expanding symbol, as I mentioned in the intro. That’s largely down to the likes of the Book of Dead slot, which has been cloned dozens of times over, but there are still some other interesting slot games to look at in that niche if you have the time. I’ll save you the time of trawling through our library and recommend SG Gaming’s Stargate Megaways slot and Big Time Gaming’s unique Queen of Riches slot, both brilliant titles capable of producing big wins. Can we lump Nile Fortune into that same category? The pays section will surely reveal some insights.

The top of the paytable is occupied by a Bastet and the Wild Symbol, both of which will pay you 10x the bet for a winning combination of five. Horus follows at 7.5x, with the Eye of Hours next at 5x, and the Water Lily completing the premium section of symbols and paying 5x bet for a completed line of five. The traditional royal symbols make up the lower pays, and the Ace, King, Queen and Jack will all pay 1x the bet for a five a kind win.

Whilst some game providers offer just a handful of bets to play at, Pragmatic Play tends to throw the kitchen sink at it, and this is the case once again in their Nile Fortune slot. The minimum price to play starts at €0.20 a spin, whilst the highest of rollers can place bets up to a whopping €240 in standard play if, of course, you can find any online casino crazy enough to offer the bets at the higher end of the scale.


Nile Fortune Slot Base Game

The standard gameplay on Nile Fortune utilises a 5×3 reel matrix comprising 20 ways to win. Matching three symbols on consecutive reels from left to right, starting from the leftmost reel first, will award the corresponding win from the paytable.


Mystery Modifiers

The special Mystery Modifier can land on reels 2 and 4 in the base game. Each modifier that lands will award one of the following three modifiers and a respins.

  • Random Wilds: At the end of the respin, a random number of wild symbols are added to random positions on the reels.
  • Expanding Reels: For the respin, the reels increase in size to a grid of 5×6 symbols and increase the number of paylines to 50.
  • Multiplier Wilds: At the end of the respin, all winning combinations with at least one wild symbol are multiplied by x2.

Ante Bet

Players can choose to toggle on the Ante Bet feature, increasing the chance of triggering the feature at the additional cost of 25% on top of the normal stake.


Nile Fortune Slot Bonus Features

Nile Fortune Free Spins Feature

If 3, 4, or 5 of the pyramid scatter symbols hit during the base game, the bonus will be triggered, and 8, 12 or 20 free spins will be awarded, respectively.


Free Spins Feature

During the free spins, the Mystery Modifier Symbol is present on reels 2, 3 and 4 and can transform into the same modifiers as the base game. The Multiplier Wilds Modifier multiplies wins with at least one wild by x2 if it hits alone, by x3 if it hits along with the Random Wilds Modifier, by x5 if it hits along with the Expanding Reels Modifier and by x10 if all modifiers have hit in the same spin. If 3, 4, or 5 scatters land in the bonus, it will re-trigger, and 8, 12, or 20 extra spins will be awarded, respectively.


Bonus Buy

Players residing in a jurisdiction where bonus buy slots are available can trigger the feature instantly on Nile Fortune at the cost of 80x the current bet.


Pros

  • The main modifiers are present in the base game and the free spins feature.

Cons

  • A low maximum win of just 2,500x bet.
  • It can be deceiving when loads of wilds are in play on the reels, but you only receive a small win.
  • Multiple RTP levels are available to operators, so be sure yo check it if you play for real money.

Nile Fortune Slot Review Final Thoughts

All I can say about Pragamtic's Nile of Fortune slot is that at least it wasn't the usual tripe of an expanding symbol game, although, like the Pharaoh Akhenaten, many will hope this one gets wiped from existence, too.
