Leaves of Fortune keeps a four-rung jackpot beside the reels, climbing from Mini through Minor and Major to a Grand worth 1000x the stake. That 1000x is also the most the game can pay, so the biggest jackpot and the maximum win are one number. Around it sits a fortune-themed hold-and-win based on three coin-trees above the grid. Its matching coin scatters can bring in one, two or all three pots, each adding a different twist to the round.
In normal play, you are collecting red, blue and green coin scatters. Each colour builds one of the trees above the reels, named Double, Multi and Extra, a tally of what you have gathered so far. The pots come out of nowhere, though. When the bonus strikes, it can carry any of the three at once, and each changes how the round plays.
The bonus is a classic hold-and-win. Every coin scatter that lands sticks in place, and you start the round on 3 re-spins. Each fresh coin resets that counter, so the more that land, the longer the board is kept alive. It runs until the re-spins reach zero or all 15 grid positions are taken, and then every coin value on show is totalled and paid at once.
Each tree pairs with a pot, and since more than one can go off on a spin, their effects combine in one round.
Fill both boards in a Double round, and the game even pays two Grand jackpots.
Some coins arrive carrying a jackpot rather than a cash value. Mini pays 15x the stake, Minor 30x and Major 100x, and the meter down the left of the reels raises those figures as your bet climbs. The Grand tops the ladder and is won only by taking all 15 spots on a grid, which makes it the biggest prize going and, in a Double round, one you can land twice.
A gold dragon medallion is the wild, covering for any symbol apart from the coin scatters. It turns up often and stacks down a reel, and through our play it did plenty of steady work, completing line wins in the base game that would otherwise have fallen short.
Wins pay on 25 fixed lines, running from the left on consecutive reels, and only the coin scatters pay from anywhere, then only inside the bonus. The stake dial spans £0.10 to £250, with free play open at every level, and the bonus shows up around once in 81 spins, so the bulk of your play is ordinary reels growing the leaves.
The return tops out at 96%, with some operators setting it lower. When a win is counting up beneath the reels, tap spin again to jump to the total, and once more to begin the next go. Turbo, quick spin and a skip-screens toggle sit in the controls for a quicker pace.
Every figure here reads as a stake multiplier so holds at any bet.
| Symbol | 3 | 4 | 5 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Guardian Lion | 0.5x | 2x | 6x |
| Turtle | 0.3x | 0.8x | 2x |
| Koi | 0.3x | 0.8x | 2x |
| Money Toad | 0.3x | 0.8x | 2x |
| Red Lantern | 0.2x | 0.4x | 1.5x |
| Green Fan | 0.2x | 0.4x | 1.5x |
| A / K / Q / J / 10 | 0.1x | 0.2x | 1x |
The Guardian Lion also pays 0.1x for 2 on a line, the only symbol to start that early.
At 3.7 it is a polished, easygoing hold-and-win that gets the fortune-house mood right, its bonus built on three pots that can ignite together in one round. The pots are the draw, and the wins typically stay small under the low ceiling. Storm gives a familiar format a smart hook in the three trees, and that idea carries the game further than its numbers would alone.
The stacking pots are good fun to aim for, and the Hold n Spin collects cleanly. The jackpot coins hand every bonus a chance at a bigger prize, and the whole thing looks and sounds lovely, unhurried and warm. Double Reels is our pick of the three, running two boards at once.
The 1000x cap keeps a lid on everything, so even a bonus that fires two pots at once stays modest. Low volatility means long, quiet stretches feeding the trees between bonuses, and a full tree is no promise of a pot, so it can sit a long while doing nothing.
The look is the first thing that lands. Leaves of Fortune floats its reels in a bank of sunset clouds, pagoda roofs behind them, red lanterns swaying, and Caishen, the god of wealth, stood to the right with a gold ingot in hand. Coin-trees sway overhead, and a bright, plucked-string melody in the Chinese New Year style keeps the mood slow and warm. It is an easy game to settle into.
Half the fun is not knowing what you will get. Every ordinary spin is quietly working toward one of the trees, and because one spin can bring in more than one pot at a time, you rarely know quite what shape the next bonus will take. The wait to see which one arrives, and whether another joins it, is a real part of the draw.
For all that variety, the wins stayed gentle. Our first bonus hit the Double pot on its own and returned £58.40 across its re-spins. A later one set off Double and Extra together, covered more of both boards, and still paid £57.60, just short of it. The gap was in the coins themselves. The earlier round landed two Mini jackpots to the later one’s single Mini, and it is those coin values, not the count of pots, that set the total. The pot that would change that, Multi, never showed up in our review.
Leaves of Fortune is a slow, low-stakes fortune slot for players who enjoy the ritual and the quiet as much as the payout, happy to tend the trees a while between bonuses. Anyone after a big single hit will find the top end too low to bother with. As a relaxed way to pass a demo session, it makes for easy company.
