Madame Destiny

The idea of a fortune teller has come up in a lot of different cultures, but the motifs that we think about surrounding the concept have been around for hundreds of years. The Madame Destiny slot, available at Pragmatic Play casinos, brings a lot of these concepts together in one place to create a great-looking slot experience. This is a feature-driven game first and foremost, but the pay table is set up to offer a pretty reasonable hit-rate as well, so it ends up being balanced as a whole. We like the style of gameplay that comes from this approach, and we think it offers something for all different kinds of players.

Format and Layout

The layout for this title is designed in a way that gives you enough ways to win for things to be exciting without creating a situation where it's easy to get overwhelmed. This comes along with five reels, three rows and 10 paylines that pay from left to right only. Players cannot change how many paylines are active in this slot. Instead, it's all about giving players the ability to pick coins that go from $0.01 to $0.50 and being able to wager from one to ten coins on each of those lines. The betting range is $0.10 to $50 along these lines per spin.

Wild Symbols and Payouts

The fortune teller herself, who goes by the name in the title of Madame Destiny, gives players extra wins as a wild symbol. She substitutes for every symbol in the game except for the crystal ball scatter. By appearing on all reels, she also has her own payouts that are pretty strong and among the best in the game. It starts with a 9,000x jackpot that you can get from nailing five-of-a-kind combinations. It kicks down to the 2,500x level for four of a kind and 250x for three. You can also score 10x for just two of this symbol on a line.

All winning combinations that contain a minimum of one wild symbol will have their value multiplied by a factor of two. This does not stack for multiple wilds, and it does not apply to wild-only combinations.

Scatter Symbol Prizes

The crystal ball has a purple tint with orange in the middle, and it helps you to get scattered payouts. This comes first and foremost in the form of a 5,000x secondary jackpot for five of a kind anywhere on the grid of symbols. Players can earn 200x for four of a kind or 50x for three. It becomes 20x for two of a kind as well, but note that these don't even have to land on consecutive reels, so they're much easier to get than other line-based prizes.

Free Spins With Multipliers

When players are able to get three or more of the scatters anywhere on the reels, a free spins mode is activated. You'll start with 15 free spins regardless of the number of symbols used to activate the feature. From there, you can re-trigger the feature over and over with no limits. All payouts are multiplied by three, and you'll have reels that are more favorable during this feature as well. The multipliers stack with the wild multipliers to give total wins worth 6x their regular values.

Other Winning Combinations

Five of a kind wins of the owl or black cat are worth 750x. You can pick up 400x for five of the heart potion, and it becomes 250x for the set of three candles or set of three tarot cards. The red A and orange K symbols give you 125x when you line up five of them on a payline, and five of a kind combinations of the purple Q, blue J, green 10 or dark purple 9 all pay out wins of 100x.

In Summary

You wouldn't necessarily think that a fortune teller-themed slot would be particularly exciting, but Pragmatic Play was able to pull it off with the Madame Destiny slot. This game offers a lot of ways to get paid with stacking multipliers and a free spins mode that can be re-triggered over and over again. The graphics aren't the best in the world, but they are more than sufficient for what this game is doing, and we think that the style of graphics used fits the theme really well without coming across as over-produced. Overall, this is an action-packed title with a fairly high volatility and chances to win some pretty impressive prizes.
