NetEnt To Launch New Jackpot Slot Divine Fortune In January 2017

18+

If new mobile slot releases weren’t exciting enough, NetEnt have upped the stakes by promising that the next one to come out will have a glorious progressive jackpot attached to it.

This is the game studios that have brought us the famous Mega Fortune slot, the always entertaining Hall of Gods, and the luxurious Mega Fortune Dreams mobile game.

All, we should point out, reaching into the millions in jackpot worth.

So will this new Divine Fortune slot machine reach the height of it’s brothers and sisters? Here’s everything we know.

The always good Divine Fortune slot video

Every time Net Entertainment have announced a new game release, they put out a video to tease us. So that’s the best place to start:

What did your gut feeling tell you?

Not quite what you’d expected? Yeah, we know what you mean.

That’s a fairly old fashioned theme for NetEnt games

We have nothing against a good old fashioned ancient Greek theme.

Williams Interactive have been cashing in on the theme ever since the launch of their Zeus slot machine, and one of NextGen’s best slot’s is Medusa.

It’s just that we expect a little more from NetEnt.

We expect either clever themes, like in the Jack Hammer comic book game, or beautifully detailed like in the Warlords slot game.

It is a beautiful classic Greek slot

That said, it’s hard to fault the look of the slot, as it has been done beautifully.

Only instead on concentrating on the gods, you have Pegasus, Medusa, a Griffin, a Lion and the Minotaur as the high paying symbols, scattered with your pretty bog standard high paying card symbols.

Basically, we can’t hate it because of the theme, because it’s a beautiful ancient Greek theme.

We just wish it was a little more imaginative, and a little less generic. But perhaps we are asking too much from NetEntertainment studios.

The jackpot in this Divine Fortune video slot

Here’s where we have good news and bad news.

Let’s start with the bad news; the mega jackpot seeds (ie. starts) at £€$10,000. Which is not very high.

It means that unlike the jackpot games we mentioned at the beginning of this post, it’s unlikely to go as high as millions in cash.

In fact, we suspect the amounts you see on the video are pretty representative of what you’ll get; namely a little over 100 thousand in cash at the most.

That’s still more than most jackpot slots out there

That’s the good news.

Granted, you won’t win millions like in Mega Moolah mobile slot.

But those are few and far between. And anyway, much like playing the lottery, chances are you’ll have to be one lucky son of a bitch to get that top amount.

Instead, what you’ll get here is a far more frequent hitting jackpot, where your chances of walking away with a decent sum of cash increases as the turnover of the jackpot is more frequent.

And who in their right mind wouldn’t want to get 100 thousand in their pocket right now?

But will it be any fun to play?

That’s the real question isn’t it?

Because as we all know, jackpot slots are not always great fun – regardless of the top prize, if the game play is boring (looking at your Playtech’s Beach Life), then what’s the point?

After all, the chances of you winning the jackpot are one in a million, so coming out with more than you came in should be far better odds.

Those expanding wilds symbols look interesting

Don’t they just?

And NetEnt are good at making one particular slot bonus feature fun; just look at the random wilds in Lights, or the sticky wilds in the Stickers slot game.

Here, Pegasus is likely to do just that, as he not only expands to cover the whole reel, but you then get three free re-spins as the wilds slowly fall one by one from the bottom of the reels.

However, the free spins don’t look like much

The downside to this is that for the first time in forever, the free spins in this Divine Fortune slot game won’t be where you’ll get the big wins.

You could get them here, but there’s really nothing special about the free spins, other than the fact that they are there and you get a breather on your wallet.

No multiplier, special hidden bonus, or extra wilds. Not that we can see, anyway.

Instead, you have the expanding wilds and re-spins working much like they do on the base game.

So we should be able to get big wins on any spin

That’s the theory anyway. In practice we suspect it might be a different story.

After all, Divine Fortune is a jackpot slot machine, meaning it’s in NetEnt’s best interest to keep you playing for longer so you add more to the pot.

Mostly, to be honest, so the pot grows faster to entice jackpot hunters like you to play.

That generally means making the game fairly easy playing, with smaller constant wins, rather than sudden huge wins.

The only casino software we know who do the opposite is IGT with their MegaJackpots slots like Wolf Run.

Excited for this Divine Fortune slot game?

Mixed feelings really.

On one hand, it’s a new NetEnt jackpot slot – and NetEnt don’t push out those very often, and when they do, they’ve thought about it carefully.

On the other hand, it’s not like they’ve never created a pretty ‘meh’ jackpot slot before, you don’t have to look much further than the online game Cosmic Fortune for that.

Still, let’s give them the benefit of the doubt and see what we get on the 24th of January. After all, they have a habit of surprising us when we least expect it.
