88 Fortune: Golden Eagle Pays, Free Games and the Fu Bat Jackpot Pick

88 Fortune is one of 3Win8's own slot titles, built around Chinese prosperity symbols and a jackpot that sits on top of the normal reel game. There are two things to understand before you play: the free game feature and the Fu Bat Jackpot.

Golden Eagle and the base game

The Golden Eagle is the highest-paying symbol. Five of them on a payline pay 1,000 coins, and everything else on the paytable pays less. As with any line slot, a win needs matching symbols along an active line, so check the paytable screen for the lower symbols before you set your stake.

How the 88 Fortune free games work

The free game feature starts you on 10 free spins. During those spins the low-value symbols are swapped out for high-value ones, which is what makes the feature worth waiting for: the reels are packed with better-paying symbols than in normal play.

Extra free spins can be triggered inside the feature, and there is reportedly no cap on how many times that can happen. In practice most rounds end well short of that, so treat it as a possibility rather than a plan.

The Fu Bat Jackpot pick

88 Fortune is a jackpot slot. When one or more Fu Bat symbols appear, the jackpot feature can start. You are shown 12 lucky coins and keep picking until three matching symbols turn up. The matching set tells you which jackpot you have won.

Pick features like this are a reveal rather than a skill game, so there is no strategy to which coin you tap.

If the theme appeals, you can play 88 Fortune on 3Win8, or look through the other titles in 3Win8 Mini Games. Keep a fixed budget: jackpot slots can go a long time between features.
