Sakura Fortune Review

Sakura Fortune centers around the stacked wild Princess Sakura (which means cherry blossom in Japanese), and the game comes with beautiful Asian scenery and plenty of bonus features. This is also the first game where you get to check out Quickspin’s new innovation, namely the Achievement Engine.

Sakura Fortune - Slot Outlook

It all plays out on 5 reels, 4 rows, and 40 ways to win, and you can place bets between 20p and £100 per spin across all platforms and devices. The mentioned Achievement Engine comes into play when you trigger “special events” that are pre-set in the game, and you will collect tokens you can use to get yourself some nice bonus benefits.

Sakua Fortune Slot - Reel Screen

Please note that this is a highly volatile game (4.83 points out of 5), and it should be handled with a bit of care. You can win up to 400 times your stake here, which is not really all that impressive for such a volatile game. The RTP is a decent 96.58%, which is above industry average, and the main attraction is the free spins feature with expanding sticky wilds. However, Sakura Fortune comes with ranging RTP values, and the payback can be lowered to 90.02% depending on where you play, plus the volatility will be lowered to 4/5.

The Emperor is the highest value symbol here, followed by her highness the Empress. There is a Princess scatter/wild symbol that does not pay out anything, and a warrior prince and some chinese artifacts as medium paying symbols. You will need to land between 3 and 5 matching symbols on a payline to win, and here is the Sakura Fortune paytable for you:

• Emperor - Pays 10x for 5 on a payline
• Empress - Pays 5x for 5 on a payline
• Warrior Prince - Pays 3x for 5 on a payline
• Dragon statue - Pays 2x for 5 on a payline
• Green emerald lion statue - Pays 2x for 5 on a payline
• Gold, silver, bronze, and emerald coins - Pay either 1.25x or 1x for 5 on a payline

Sakura Fortune - Bonus Features

The beautiful warrior princess dressed in red acts as both a wild symbol and a scatter symbol on this game, and this means that she can step in for all regular symbols to create the best possible winning combinations for you. What’s more, the Princess will land as a fully stacked wild symbol of 1x4, and she can only land on the 3 middle reels (that is reels 2, 3, and 4).

A nudge feature will come can come into play if you land at least 2 of the stacked Princess wild symbols partially on the reels. If the nudge feature is activated (happens randomly) you will see the stacked wild symbols nudge into place to fill the entire reel. This, in turn, triggers the Sakura Fortune Respins feature.

Once you have at least 2 fully stacked Princess wilds on the reels, you have secured the Respins feature to play out. You will get a new respins for every new fully stacked wild you land (the nudge feature can help you here also), and the respins will keep going until you don’t land any more wilds on the reels.

The bonus scatter symbol is a yellow Chinese fan, and you need to land at least 3 such scatters anywhere on the same spin to trigger the free spins feature here.

This gives you 5 free spins to start with, and all Princess wilds that land will expand to cover the full reel. These fully stacked wilds will also become sticky for the duration of the feature, and grant you 1 extra free spin for each wild that lands.

Sakura Fortune is the very first game that utilizes Quickspin’s innovative Achievement Engine concept. This engine sets up 6 different in-game events that will reward you with Quickspins Tokens. These events can be anything from landing a wild or a bonus symbol to triggering the respins or free spins feature. There are 4 different levels of Achievements either way, and you can use your tokens to get bonus rewards.

What is the jackpot (max win)?

There is no Sakura Fortune slot jackpot to be won here, and as far as we can see that game’s max win is a measly 400 times your stake. You get this by filling the reels with the highest paying Emperor symbol, or in combination with stacked wilds.

Not very impressive for a highly volatile game, but you can pocket up to £40,000 if you play with the highest possible bet level.

Sakura Fortune - Slot Verdict

Sakura Fortune is a nice enough game when it comes to graphics and features, but it’s shamed by a way too weak potential for this kind of highly volatile action. A max win of only 400x your stake is suitable for a low variance slot, and we really don’t understand what Quickspin has been thinking here. On the positive side, you get to check out their brand new Achievement Engine here, and it seems like the unusually low potential does not really bother all that many players.

Pros

• Nudge feature nudges stacked wilds into place
• Respins feature with stacked sticky wilds
• Free spins feature with stacked sticky wilds
• Debut for Quickspin’s Achievement Engine

Cons

• 400x potential
