Fortune House in South Africa: Four 2x2 Features That Can Repeat in One Spin
Fortune House is an Asian-themed Red Tiger slot released on 9 August 2016, with five reels, three rows and 20 win lines. All four of its features arrive on big 2x2 symbols. Fortune Respin locks in place and awards respins, Mystery Win and Fortune Tree add paying symbols of one type, Ace or stronger, and the Dragon Wheel spins for a multiplier of 3x to 88x the stake. By the rules, each can activate up to five times in one spin.

How Fortune House is built
Fortune House has five reels of three rows and pays on 20 lines, the figures on Red Tiger's page for the game. The symbol files among the game's own assets show the card ranks 10 to A painted in brush strokes, four gold figures (a koi fish, a turtle with a dragon's head, a laughing Buddha and an eight-sided bagua charm) and the Wild, a red and gold medallion marked WILD that substitutes for all paying symbols.
The four features sit on big symbols, each two reels wide and two rows tall, so one in full view covers four of the fifteen positions, by our count. The rules call all four scatters, and a rule Red Tiger calls Bigger Fortune gives each of them a chance to activate up to five times during a single spin. The rules describe no free spins round, and Red Tiger's page records no feature buy: each feature starts when its symbol lands.
The four 2x2 features side by side 🔍
From Fortune House's own rules file, with the symbols as Red Tiger's page describes them. The last column is the limit the rules set for one spin.
| Feature | What happens when its symbol lands | Limit in one spin |
|---|---|---|
| Fortune Respin, a pot of gold | Awards one respin and stays locked while its respins play; it takes no part in win lines | Up to 5 respins |
| Mystery Win, a golden toad (Mystery Tile in the rules) | Adds a random number of rotating mystery symbols that all reveal the same paying symbol | Up to 5 activations |
| Fortune Tree | Places a random number of paying symbols of one type on the reels | Up to 5 activations |
| Dragon Wheel | Rotates and awards a random stake multiplier, 3x to 88x | Up to 5 rotations |
Fortune Respin: one pot, up to five respins
By the rules, the Fortune Respin can land anywhere on the reels, always lands in full view, and only one can land in a single spin. When it hits, it awards a single respin, and it can trigger up to five in all; the pot stays locked where it landed while they play, and it takes no part in win lines. Red Tiger's page presents these respins as winning ones; the game's rules say nothing of the kind.
Mystery Win and Fortune Tree: more of one symbol
By the rules, Mystery Win adds a random number of rotating mystery symbols that all reveal the same paying symbol, and the Fortune Tree places a random number of paying symbols of one type on the reels. The rules give both the same range, Aces or stronger symbols with the Wild included, and set the order within a spin: wins that form after one activation are paid before the next one begins. On our reading, a single spin with either feature can pay out more than once.
The Dragon Wheel's multipliers, in rand
The wheel can rotate up to five times in one spin. The rules list the stake multipliers it can appear with, 27 by our count, and say its sectors are not equally likely, so the list says nothing about how often any value comes up. The grouping and the rand amounts are our arithmetic.
| Range (our grouping) | Multipliers in the rules | One rotation at a R2 stake |
|---|---|---|
| 3x to 12x | 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 | R6 to R24 |
| 15x to 38x | 15, 16, 18, 20, 22, 25, 28, 30, 33, 36, 38 | R30 to R76 |
| 50x to 88x | 50, 55, 60, 66, 70, 77, 80, 88 | R100 to R176 |
