Trader’s Fortune is a slot game from Popiplay that takes the player into a Chinese food market. The reels become the trader’s table of wares with each symbol changing from a delicious dragon fruit snack to a golden fish or a painted fan.
The slot is presided over by a friendly (if somewhat stereotyped) old Chinese gentleman, while the background is filled with water features and buildings that suggest the Su style of Chinese architecture.
This Chinese mercantile-themed slot will appeal to anyone who wishes they could have browsed the markets of historical China, searching for bargains among the vendors.
The graphics of the Trader’s Fortune slot are delightful—the high definition art works despite the small space allowed for the large reels. The surrounding background lends the slot a sense of place and the symbols are drawn with a semi-realistic clarity that draws the player in while allowing for some artistic expression on the artist’s part.
The animations are simple and do the most important job of making the action clear to the player. The happy animation of the vendor character above the slots will make players feel welcome.
All of this is tied together by excellent sound effects and a musical score that fits the time and place of the slot, adding to the immersion of the player.
Trader’s Fortune is a five-reel slot with five rows and 15 win lines. There is also a feature that can add two reels, temporarily making the game into a six- or seven-reel slot.
Gameplay is otherwise fairly typical of slots like this with a standard base game and a free spin bonus.
The maximum win on any single round of action is capped at 10,000x of the player’s bet, which is not uncommon for a slot with the volatility of Trader’s Fortune.
Trader’s Fortune has several fun features to boost the player’s enjoyment. For example, the Wild symbols don’t just substitute for all other symbols, except the Scatter and Opening Reel symbols, they also add one multiplier to any win that includes a Wild. The multipliers can be x2, x3, x5, or x10.
When the player lands three Scatter symbols on one spin, the Free Spin bonus is triggered. The player starts with three spins on a counter. The counter resets to three every time a Cookie symbol lands. Cookies have either a monetary value or a multiplier value. Multipliers apply to all the value Cookies on that row. The Free Spin bonus ends when the counter reaches zero.
The Opening Reel symbol only lands during Free Spins and adds one reel to the left or right of the reels. Because you can land up to two of these symbols on a given spin, the game can go up to seven reels in total.
The Trader’s Fortune slot has a return to player of 97.14%.
Since our yardstick for average is roughly 96%, this constitutes a very high RTP and is a major selling point for this slot, especially when you couple this high RTP with the high volatility of Trader’s Fortune.
The combination of high RTP and high volatility makes this slot game a good match for our preferred slot strategies.
The range of bets on the site we tested ran from a minimum bet per spin of $/£/€0.20 up to a maximum of $/£/€24.00 per spin. This is a narrower band of bet sizes than some slots and might limit the highest and lowest rollers from getting action at the level they require for their bankrolls.
We love Trader’s Fortune. This simple, fun slot has a pleasing art-style, is solidly built, and sports a relaxing vibe.
However, what really sells us on Trader’s Fortune is the RTP of 97.14% and the high volatility that make it an excellent strategic choice in our view.
We highly recommend this slot to anyone who enjoys their slots with a little Chinese flavor.
