Showtime Fortunes raises the curtain on a glamorous cabaret stage. Deep red drapes fill the background, blue and white spotlights sweep in from the corners, and the title glows in gold marquee lettering between four jackpot plaques. My stake was 4.00 per spin, covering 20 lines at 4 coins of 0.05.
Theme and Gameplay
The costume department provides the premiums: sparkly red high heels, a frilly white tutu-style corset dress and a pink feather boa. Marquee-bulb card letters glowing gold, red and navy supply the lesser pays. At 4.00, the jackpot boxes flanking the title read 200, 400, 1K and 4K.
Slot Features
Lines are read rightwards and multiplied by the coins staked per line, and scatter prizes are added on top. Wilds swap in for any non-scatter symbol, and any wild landing on reels 2, 3, 4 or 5 expands down its reel to complete wins. Expanding wilds don’t appear in free spins.
Free Spins icons turn up only on reels 1, 3 and 5, and the round keeps the triggering stake, with no retriggers. During the round, three neighbouring reels form a Mega Reel, and after each spin the centre symbol on reel 2, 3 or 4 grows into a Mega symbol covering the reels beside it.
Six or more Disco Balls start the Feature Game, which awards up to 15 picks. Each prize reveals itself automatically and can be a jackpot, scaled to the stake that launched it. A Disco Ball Mega symbol in free spins counts as nine, launching the prize feature with nine picks.
RTP and Win Potential
You can’t buy your way in, so features must land on their own. Expanding wilds plus a prize feature keep volatility moderate.
My Thoughts On This Slot
Showtime Fortunes has a fun, glitzy presentation, and the Mega Reel free spins are a nice twist. Expanding wilds add punch to ordinary rounds.
Some features overlap, though, and the theme may feel a little dated.
