Divine Fortune Slot Review

NetEnt’s Divine Fortune is a popular progressive jackpot slot. As its name suggests, the slot combines a divine theme of Greek mythology with a chance to win a fortune by triggering one of three jackpot prizes. You can get even more opportunities to make a fortune if you trigger free spins or land a wild symbol in the base game. 

NetEnt is known for producing blockbuster single-player slots. But does the Swedish software developer top the charts with progressive slots as well? Join us to find out.

How to play Divine Fortune

As we were packing our bags and getting ready to travel back in time to Ancient Greece, we wondered if the Divine Fortune slot game could bring something new to a theme that has been done on so many other popular online slots. 

The first thing we noticed when loading Divine Fortune was the obligatory Hellenistic statues in the backdrop. As expected from an ancient Greek slot, game symbols include Greek letters, Medusa, the Minotaur, and the Nemean Lion. Special symbols include a white pegasus (wild), Zeus’ lightning bolt (free spins), and a golden pegasus coin (jackpot bonus). 

Visually, Divine Fortune seems like yet-another Greek mythology slot. It even looks a bit boring. But on the bright side, the graphics are sharp, and the classic sounds are immersive and become dramatic when special symbols appear on the reels. 

The slot features NetEnt’s standard 5x3 game grid and familiar game controls beneath the reels. In addition to coin value, max bet, spin, and autoplay, there is a slider to set the bet level, which will adjust the value of the Minor and Major jackpots accordingly. All three jackpots are displayed above the reels. Divine Fortune offers 20 paylines, which is a bit low for 5x3 slots.

Divine Fortune jackpots and bonuses

Divine Fortune’s biggest feature is the game’s three jackpots. Landing 3 or more Golden Bonus symbols on the reels triggers 3 free spins, during which the bonus symbol also becomes sticky and remains in position for more winning combinations. This continues until your free spins finish or until you fill 1, 2, or 3 rows with bonus symbols to trigger the Minor, Major, or Mega jackpot, respectively. 

In addition to the chance to win real money jackpot prizes, the Divine Fortune online slot offers more exciting bonus features. 

Falling Wilds: When you land a white-pegasus wild symbol during the base game or free spins, you’ll get a free respin as the wild moves down the reels. 

Wild on Wild: When a second wild lands on the same reel as a Falling Wild, the pegasus expands to cover an entire reel for one spin, leaving 2 wilds for the next spin.

Scatter: If you land 3 or more of Zeus’ lightning bolt Scatter symbols. 3, 4, and 5 scatters give you 5, 8, and 12 free spins, respectively. Any wilds that land during your free spins round will expand to cover the whole reel again.

Divine Fortune mobile options

Like all of NetEnt’s game releases in recent years, the Divine Fortune slot is built with HTML5 technology, making it responsive and optimized for all screen sizes and device types. Whether you are playing on your phone or tablet, iOS or Android - the game transcends beautifully across all devices. All the buttons are visible and tappable, and the sharp graphics and straightforward design work great on smaller screens. 

Conclusion

Divine Fortune’s visuals didn’t blow our minds, as NetEnt didn’t bring a fresh perspective to the Greek mythology theme. But the slot’s gameplay comes to life with its exciting bonus features and huge jackpots. In particular, its Wild-on-Wild bonus feature is a thrilling way to score big wins.

For all its good points, some areas left us wanting more. A 5x3 slot could have offered more paylines. And the slot’s high volatility can result in long, winless streaks that may deter budget players. However, much like in the legends of old, the good overcomes the evil with Divine Fortune, and this is still an excellent option for progressive jackpot fans of all budgets and levels.
