Gifts of Fortune Megaways Review
The Australian developer, Big Time Gaming, is perhaps most famous for their Megaways engine, and it comes to good use in this Chinese New Year release as well. Gifts of Fortune will hardly be seen as a seasonal release in the West, and it’s based around the Red Envelope cash gift concept that’s so popular in the far East. These red envelope cash gifts are used for pretty much any occasion though, and not only for the Holiday season.
Basically, you need Red Envelope/Packet Wilds on the top reel to collect Fortune Cash Prizes that are revealed from Reaction wins. The collected prize is then boosted by a random multiplier up to x10 in the base game. The multiplier increases per red packet wild in view in both bonus round tiers, and the Enhanced version gives you at least one red packet wild per spin. The 13,960x potential is above average, and this is a pretty solid game if you don’t mind the asian theme.

The premium symbols pay between 1 and 50 x your stake for 6 of a kind wins, and winning symbols are removed via the Reactions mechanic. New and/or existing symbols drop down to fill the gaps, and this repeats as long as you keep winning.
The Reaction mechanic is also key to the prize collection feature this game is built around.Similar Slots:
When winning symbols are removed via the Reactions mechanic, at least 1 Fortune Prize will come into view. Red Envelope/Packet Wilds appear on the top horizontal reel only, and each Wild in view collects all present fortune prizes onto themselves.
The Wild Red Packet is also a wild symbol that steps in for pay symbols to help complete wins. The Fortune Prizes end up in the Treasure Pot after being collected by a wild, and a random multiplier up to x10 will then be applied to the total prize win.
You trigger the Bonus Round from 3+ scatters in view, and this gives you 10 free spins plus 2 additional spins per additional triggering scatter. You get the Enhanced Bonus Round if one of the triggering scatters is a Megascatter. The Enhanced Bonus Round comes with a guarantee of at least one Red Packet Wild per spin.
The Treasure Pot Multiplier starts at x1 for the bonus round, and it increases by +1 per Red Packet Wild you land.
The multiplier will only boost Fortune Prizes, however, and you win +4 extra spins when 3 scatters appear in the same Reaction sequence. You also get +2 spins on top of that per every additional scatter above the minimum of 3.In certain jurisdictions you can benefit from the Win Exchange feature. If you land a win of at least 80x your stake, you can exchange 80x your stake to get 10 free spins. Win between 25 and 80x your stake, and you can gamble to win 10 free spins on a wheel. Non-UK players can also buy the bonus round for 70x the stake, or pay 200x the stake for the Enhanced version.

Review Summary
We like how the red envelope/packet concept has been seamlessly integrated into the gameplay. That being said, most westerners will probably just see yet another asian-themed slot unless they read up on the Chinese tradition in this review. The feature gives you a similar thrill that we can imagine receiving such a money gift does in real life, and it triggers on a regular basis also in the base game.
The pace could have been better though, for example by allowing double clicks to speed things up or including a regular turbo mode.
The increasing fortune prize multiplier takes everything up a notch in the bonus round, and not least when you’re guaranteed a multiplier increasing packet per spin in the enhanced version. The 13,960x potential is above average for the Megaways engine, and this is a pretty solid installment that may be held back by the oriental theme.Pros
