Fates Fortune: Help Ulysses Escape Poseidon's Wrath for Up to 5,000x Rewards

Fates Fortune by Play’n GO took me into the middle of Greek mythology, where Poseidon’s wrath and Ulysses’ cursed voyage unfold beneath burning skies. Between raging oceans, sirens, Cyclops, and expanding wilds, this storm-torn expedition came packed with bonus wheels and rewards reaching up to 5,000x max win. 

This is a five-reel, three-row slot with 10 paylines. On the reels, you’ll see Cyclops, sirens, Poseidon, ships, and Ulysses himself standing against a stormy ocean backdrop. I could not help but question whether joining this epic voyage was a wise decision.

As expected, I was landing wins every 5 to 6 spins, with most returns sitting between 1x and 1.80x my bet. Truth be told, it had been a long time since I had seen my bankroll struggle this badly during a so-called medium-volatility session.

The base game relies heavily on the Barrage Bonus, and eventually, so did I. Every spin lowers a counter from 20, and once it reaches zero, collected Ulysses symbols are fired onto the reels with chances of turning into wilds or expanding wilds. 

On average, I was collecting around 14 to 16 arrows before the feature activated. In one instance, expanding wilds covered reels 1 and 5 alongside four regular wilds, pushing my highest base game win to 32.40x my bet.

There is also Poseidon’s Wrath Bonus, which can randomly trigger when landing 1 or 2 scatters. I activated this feature twice in roughly 100 spins and landed the Mini Jackpot worth 5x and the Minor Jackpot worth 10x at the same time. 

I initially assumed the free spins feature would be the main attraction here, but I was mistaken. Sure, landing 3 or more Poseidon scatters takes you to different levels of the bonus wheel, where you can supposedly attain Mythical Free Spins with sticky expanding wilds.

But in my case, it was the sticky Greek tragedy that remained throughout my session. Across more than two hundred spins, I failed to trigger the feature naturally even once. To make matters worse, there is no bonus buy option available either.

For me, Fates Fortune is one of those slots that showcases its potential without fully delivering it. The expanding wild mechanics and sticky wild features sound promising on paper, but landing them is quite hard. So, if you decide to follow Ulysses into this storm, make sure your bankroll is prepared for a very long voyage.
