FORTUNE COOKIE
This 9 line 5 coin max bet video slot is still around the casino floors and can be a fun time. It becomes like visiting an old friend, in this case your local Chinese take-out establishment. The game is filled with the Asian-themed symbols and graphics, nothing too fancy, the traditional, recognizable figures we are all accustomed to by now. The game does offer a frequent first line double wild symbol to perk things up on the spins in the base game. The fortune cookie symbols serve as scatter pay when two are found anywhere on the spin and pay double the bet. Add a third and you will play the cookie bonus game. A second screen appears with 3 fortune cookies and you select one for bonus credits. Playing max bet of 45 credits, I usually end up with about 360 in this bonus. There is a slight chance to have 4 cookies on the spin screen, I had it happen once and ended with a nice 1800 credit bonus selection. I never saw 5 cookies, but it supposedly is possible.
The main bonus game is to get Mr. Lucky; have three white take out containers aligned from left to right on the first 3 lines in a pay configuration and you are off to the bonus round. This is a great machine to have a decent volume on as I always crack up and generally have patrons give me befuddled looks as I tend to engage in conversation with him during the bonus. You will be asked to Choose 1 Chicken dish, you have 2 choices for all dishes and they highlight until you are through placing your order. Other selections include Choose one Beef dish, Choose 1 soup, all come with the thick accent and accompanying descriptive comments that are always good for a laugh. Once completed, the boxes will reveal your credits for each selection, in this game the non-selected item will also reveal the credits so you will know if your choice was the highest or lowest. the 3 carton bonus on max credits usually averages about 300-400 credits; one needs to get the 4 or 5 cartons as the values for each selection increase significantly and can result in some possible huge bonuses. Remember that you still need to select the right dish. The base game offers the chance for some decent hits and the frequency is ok. There are a lot of even win spins where you get the amount of bet back,. the main bonus seems to come around more often the cookie bonus, scatters are frequent and the machine plays overall to a reasonable outcome. It just buys time, which is what we want, but the rare big hits are few and far between. Be happy with a $50-$100 session win and do not expect much more as that won ton soup can get cold real quick. 3 1/2 cherries.
