Turn Your Fortune Pros & Cons
Turn Your Fortune delivers classic Aristocrat action with a proven track record. The choice-based free spins and stacked symbols create a good variety, but the RTP and max win won't impress everyone.
- Fortune Wins ladder shows exactly where you are — transparent progression mechanic
- 2,000x max win is the highest in this review set for a non-Megaways slot
- Free spins wheel starting at Level 4 compresses the climb to the top prize into a short session
- Fortune Re-Spins in the base game provide a secondary path to ladder progression without three Scatters
- +10 symbol can push multiple ladder steps in one appearance during free spins
- Art Nouveau visual style is more distinctive than standard fantasy or fruit themes
- 96.24% RTP is the lowest in this review batch
- Medium–high volatility means base game can be dry between Re-Spin and scatter triggers
- Free spins wheel is random — Level 2 start with 7 spins is a significantly worse outcome than Level 4 with 13
- No bonus buy — both features require organic triggers
- Collectable symbol requirement for Re-Spins means two Scatters alone don’t trigger the feature
Turn Your Fortune Slot Review
Turn Your Fortune came out in January 2019 and it takes a different approach to the fortune wheel concept than most slots. Instead of spinning a wheel for a random prize, there is a Fortune Wins ladder with five levels and five steps per level — twenty-five total rungs. You climb it by collecting symbols. The higher you get before the feature ends, the larger the payout. It is a progression mechanic, not a random jackpot, and that difference matters — you can see exactly where you are on the ladder and how many more symbols you need to reach the next tier.
The grid is 5 reels, 4 rows, 40 paylines. Fortune Re-Spins trigger from two Scatters plus a payline win — the winning symbol becomes collectable, and collecting five of it moves you up one step on the ladder. The Re-Spins continue as long as key or collectable symbols keep landing. Free spins require three or more Scatters and begin with a wheel spin that sets the number of rounds (7–13), the collectable symbol, and your starting level on the Fortune Wins ladder — level 2, 3 or 4 out of 5. 96.24% RTP, medium–high volatility, €0.20 to €200 bets, 2,000x max win.

Key Features & Mechanics
🎲 Fortune Wins Ladder — 5 Levels, 25 Total Steps Collect 5 Symbols Per Step — Higher Level = Larger Prize
The Fortune Wins ladder runs down the right side of the screen during Fortune Re-Spins and free spins. It has five levels and five steps within each level — twenty-five positions in total. Collecting five collectable symbols moves you up one step. Collecting five more moves you up another. The prize at each step increases as you climb, and the prize at Level 5 represents the path to the 2,000x max win. The critical design element is transparency — you can see exactly where you are on the ladder, exactly how many symbols you have collected toward the next step, and exactly what prize each upcoming rung pays. Nothing is hidden. When you enter free spins at Level 4 from the wheel spin, you start already three-quarters of the way up the ladder and need only one more level’s worth of collecting to reach the top. The ladder makes the feature feel like a task with visible progress rather than a random event with an unknown outcome — which is unusual and effective for sustained engagement across a feature session.
🆕 Fortune Re-Spins — 2 Scatters + a Win Triggers Collection Winning Symbol Becomes Collectable — Re-Spins Chain While Symbols Land
Fortune Re-Spins trigger when two Scatter symbols land on the reels simultaneously alongside a standard payline win. When this happens, the winning symbol type becomes the collectable for this Re-Spin session. Every time five of that symbol land across subsequent re-spins, you advance one step on the Fortune Wins ladder. Re-Spins continue as long as key symbols or the designated collectable symbol keep appearing on the reels — the chain ends when a re-spin produces neither. The Re-Spin feature can bring meaningful ladder progression in the base game without requiring three Scatters for full free spins. A Re-Spin session that produces enough collectables to climb two or three ladder steps produces a Fortune Wins payout from the base game — reaching higher steps in the middle of a base game session rather than waiting for the scatter trigger is one of the more satisfying outcomes this slot produces.
🆕 Free Spins — Wheel Sets Everything Before Spin 1 3+ Scatters — Wheel Determines Spins, Symbol and Start Level
Three or more Scatter symbols trigger the free spins feature. Before the first spin fires, a wheel spins and locks three variables simultaneously: the number of free spins awarded (between 7 and 13), which symbol is the collectable for the entire session, and the starting level on the Fortune Wins ladder — either Level 2, 3 or 4. Starting at Level 4 means you begin with most of the ladder already climbed and need only one level’s worth of collecting to reach Level 5 and the top prize range. Starting at Level 2 means you need three more levels of collecting across the spin count. A +10 symbol can appear during free spins and fills the collection meter by ten spaces instantly — a shortcut that can push you across multiple steps in one appearance. The wheel outcome before spin 1 sets the entire ceiling and floor of the feature session — a Level 4 start with 13 spins is a fundamentally different session than a Level 2 start with 7 spins, even at the same bet level.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Fortune Wins ladder work?
The Fortune Wins ladder has five levels with five steps inside each level — twenty-five rungs in total. You climb it by collecting the designated collectable symbol during Fortune Re-Spins or free spins. Every five collectables you land advances you one step. The prize at each step increases as you go higher, with the largest prizes concentrated at Level 5. The ladder is always visible on screen during the features, showing your exact position and how many symbols you have accumulated toward the next step. Nothing is hidden or obscured — if you are at Level 3, Step 2, with 3 collectables already counted toward Step 3, you can see that you need two more collectables to advance. This transparency is what makes the feature feel like a progressive task rather than a random event.
What does the free spins wheel determine?
Before the first free spin fires, a wheel spins and locks three things simultaneously: the number of free spins you will receive (between 7 and 13), which specific symbol on the paytable is the collectable for the entire feature session, and your starting position on the Fortune Wins ladder — either Level 2, 3 or 4. These three variables are set by one wheel spin and do not change during the feature. A Level 4 start means you begin with 20 of the 25 ladder steps already climbed — you only need to collect enough symbols to advance one more full level to reach Level 5 and the top prize range. A Level 2 start means 15 steps climbed, 10 remaining. The wheel outcome is the single biggest variable in determining the expected output of each free spins session.
What are Fortune Re-Spins and how do they trigger?
Fortune Re-Spins trigger when two Scatter symbols land on the reels at the same time as a standard payline win — both conditions must be true on the same spin. When they are, the winning symbol type becomes the collectable for this Re-Spin session. Re-Spins continue as long as key symbols or the designated collectable symbol keep landing. Each five collectables landed advances one step on the Fortune Wins ladder. The Re-Spin chain ends when a spin produces neither key symbols nor the collectable. Fortune Re-Spins are a base game path to ladder progression that doesn’t require three Scatters — two Scatters plus any payline win activates them. A strong Re-Spin session can move you several steps up the ladder and produce a meaningful Fortune Wins payout from the base game.
Is Turn Your Fortune available at Canadian casinos?
Yes — available at Ontario-regulated casinos running NetEnt software and at most international platforms serving Canadian players. The 96.24% RTP is consistent across operators. Stakes run from €0.20 to €200 with CAD equivalent applied. The Fortune Wins ladder, Fortune Re-Spins and free spins wheel are all accessible without regional restrictions. Mobile performance through NetEnt Touch is reliable. Bonus buy is not available — Fortune Re-Spins require two Scatters plus a payline win, and free spins require three or more Scatters organically.
What is the Art Nouveau theme?
Turn Your Fortune uses an Art Nouveau aesthetic inspired by early 20th-century European Modernism — the decorative style associated with artists like Alphonse Mucha, characterized by flowing organic lines, floral motifs, elegant feminine figures and ornate golden framing. The symbol set reflects this: a gold compass, hourglass, ornate key, flower, perfume bottle and fan — all drawn with the curved, intricate linework typical of the style. The background features deep jewel tones — emerald greens, midnight blues, warm golds — with decorative borders and patterns framing the play area. The Fortune Wins ladder is styled as an elaborate gilded chart integrated into the Art Nouveau visual language. It is a more unusual aesthetic choice than the fantasy or fruit themes that dominate the NetEnt catalog — visually distinctive and well-executed for a 2019 release.
How does the +10 symbol work?
The +10 symbol appears during free spins and instantly fills the Fortune Wins collection meter by ten spaces. Since each step requires five collectables, a +10 symbol advances you two full steps on the Fortune Wins ladder in one appearance — regardless of how many collectables you had already counted toward the current step. If you were at Step 2 of Level 3 with four collectables already counted, a +10 symbol would push you to Step 4 of Level 3 immediately, skipping two rungs. During a 7–13 spin free spins session where every step counts, a +10 symbol appearing mid-feature can compress the remaining climb significantly. Combined with a Level 4 wheel start, a single +10 symbol can push you to the top of the ladder within a few spins of the feature starting.
