Having never played a virtual slot machine game before, OMG! Fortune Free Slots was a great introduction to the exciting world of spinning the wheel and letting luck take the lead. With so many fun animations and heaps of colourful gameplay, I must say that it was quite hard for me to put this game down.

Slot machines have been around since the 1800’s. They’ve been a great way for people to make an extra buck or two, but then again they can also become a curse, resulting in one needing to constantly feed one’s coins to a relentless, money-hungry machine. Since the first virtual game was released that allowed you to pull the handle and try your luck by using a virtual currency, gambling has become easier to access but also a lot safer.
It’s Not All Slots
There are so many slot machine kind of games out there on the app stores and most of them leave you wanting more. When there isn’t real money to play with, a little something else is needed to make the game feel that much more entertaining and rewarding.
That’s where OMG! Fortune Free Slots excels. Heaps of different games are at your disposal: you’ve got your regular five column slot machine, a wheel of fortune, bingo and even some games that have taken inspiration from world-renowned games like Bejewelled and Candy Crush.
With over forty different games to unlock, you’ll be sitting pretty for quite a while. Different games are unlocked by earning XP that’s rewarded to you by playing. You’ll definitely want to stick around to unlock every available level, as each one gives you such a different experience.
My favourite level in particular is Seeds of Horror. Awesome animations and graphics are scattered throughout this level and are really quite something. The gameplay itself is a mix of luck and Tetris. Each time you play you will be given a board full of monstrous plants of all different colours. When three are lined up together, a reward will be granted. More plants will drop down to fill in those gaps, allowing for a potentially massive payout. It’s hard to pull yourself away from. Even now while I’m writing this I’ve just become distracted by that level and lost my train of thought!
Obviously with slot machines you can control how much you spend and how many lines you’ll play. With OMG! Fortune Free Slots it’s no different. You have total control over how much of your virtual currency you’ll bet, how many lines you’ll play, the speed of the game, and there’s even an option that allows you to set an auto-spin for a set number of spins. But be careful when you first enter a level as the default settings are quite high and if you’re not observant, you could see your earnings all disappear in one spin.
Aesthetic Charm
LuckyFish have certainly gone to a lot of effort to put together all of the different animations that play when a reward is granted. In the Wizard of Oz themed level you’ll see tornadoes fly across your screen; the Olympus level will have Zeus flying in with lightning bolt in hand to block out one column, giving you a better chance of winning. None of the animations look cheap and tacky and appear as if a lot of time, dedication and love have been put into them.
Of course like most free-to-play games, in-app purchases are present. They’re used to help replenish your stash of money but if you’d rather not spend real cash, every few hours you’ll also get the chance to spin a wheel and possibly win a large sum of virtual currency. If you’ve got friends playing the game, you can send coins or free rounds to each other as gifts if you’re connected to Facebook.
Final Thoughts
I was quite surprised when I found myself not being able to put OMG! Fortune Free Slots down. The animations really draw you in and the game is quite generous with payouts so you don’t feel like your money is just slowly going down the drain until your virtually bankrupt. Quite a few times now have I won a payout of 500k+ which is really quite satisfying. Also with so many different game modes, you’ll never get bored.
