Win Big in Pots of Great Fortune by Betsoft

China’s long and storied history has been featured in countless stories, movies, and games. As such, Betsoft’s latest entry has stiff competition ahead if it hopes to stand out. What we’ve seen so far looks promising, but will that be enough for the Pots of Great Fortune Hold & Win slot to win players over?

Join us for a deep dive into this game as we try to find an answer to this question. We’ll go over its graphics, payouts, and features to determine if this release is worth checking out.

Pots of Great Fortune Hold & Win Visuals & Sounds

While the slot may be retreading familiar ground, that didn’t stop the team from making its backdrop as beautiful as it could be. Tall, crimson pillars welcome you to the temple grounds, which are decorated with red paper lanterns and well-maintained hedges. The game itself is set during a sunset, which spreads a gentle, golden glow across the roof.

Paying symbol designs include stylised playing card royals, sycees, fish, turtles, and dragons. Both the sycees and animal statues are clad in gold, hinting at the wealth that awaits the luckiest players. Phoenixes play the role of Wilds while golden coins are Scatters. There are also green, red, and blue coins, which match the three Fortune Pots and a mystery icon in the shape of a purple coin.

The music in this Betsoft slot is serviceable, but it won’t knock your socks off. It has an appropriately mystical tune that’ll get you in the right mood, though it doesn’t do much to distinguish itself from other China-themed games. The rest of the sound effects are good, so we’re overall satisfied with Pots of Great Fortune Hold & Win on that front.

Pots of Great Fortune Hold & Win Gameplay & Features

The slot is played on a 5×3 grid with 25 fixed paylines. Get three or more matching symbols next to each other on an active payline, and you will win the corresponding cash prize. Winning combinations must start with the leftmost reel.

Hold & Win and Fixed Jackpots

If six or more Scatters or Fortune Pot icons appear on the reels, the Hold & Win feature activates. You start with three re-spins, during which only blank spaces, Scatters, Mystery symbols and Jackpot icons can appear. Scatters can appear with cash prizes ranging from 1x to 12x. After landing, symbols lock in place and remain there until the feature ends. Additionally, each new icon that stops on the board resets the number of re-spins.

If you completely fill the reels with symbols, you score the Grand jackpot. The other three can only be won if their matching jackpot icon appears during the Hold & Win feature. Available jackpot prizes include:

• Mini – 20x
• Minor – 40x
• Major – 200x
• Grand – 2,000x

Fortune Pots

There are three Fortune Pots above the reels, each one corresponding to a modifier that can occur during the Hold & Win feature. Whenever a symbol matching the pot’s colour appears on the reels, it has a random chance to add Scatters to the reels. The modifiers you can benefit from are as follows:

• The green pot adds Collect symbols, which scoop up the values of all cash prizes present on the reels
• The red pot adds Multi-X icons, which apply a random multiplier between 2x and 5x to up to 8 random Scatters on the reels. Multi-X symbols then transform into coins whose value ranges from 2x to 10x
• Boost applies a random multiplier up to 10x to all coins on the reels. It then transforms into a standard coin with the same value it added to other coins.

Mystery Symbols

Mystery icons can only appear during the Hold & Win feature. They can transform into one of three jackpot symbols, Collect, Multi-X, or Boost coins. This is the only way to benefit from multiple modifiers during Hold & Win, so cross your fingers and hope you get lucky.

Pots of Great Fortune Hold & Win RTP and Payouts

While the 2,000x fixed jackpot is impressive, it’s not the maximum payout in this Betsoft release. Instead, you can expect a 14,810x top prize, though the medium-high variance ensures you’ll need a lot of luck to get anywhere close to it. Pots of Great Fortune Hold & Win has an RTP of 96.06%.
