Fortune Coin slot by IGT

Fortune Coin slot overview

Fortune Coin comes from IGT, the Las Vegas company known for Cleopatra, Da Vinci Diamonds and Wolf Run. IGT has been owned by Apollo-managed funds since 1 July 2025 and was combined with Everi. The game is a compact 5x3 slot whose personality comes from one symbol: the Fortune Coin.

Several details players often look for, including volatility, maximum win and release date, aren't part of the specification we can verify. Rather than guess, we've flagged them as "see the game's rules" below. You'll find our other reviews in the slots section.

How 243 ways to win work on Fortune Coin

Fortune Coin doesn't use fixed paylines. On a ways-to-win game, a win forms when matching symbols land on adjacent reels, and each reel can contribute from any of its three positions. Ways games normally count from the leftmost reel; the game's rules confirm the direction.

The number 243 is simple arithmetic: three positions on each of five reels gives 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 243 possible routes across the screen. Two matching symbols on reel one, for example, can each start their own way, which is why a single spin can show several small wins at once.

This style is easy to follow on a phone, because you don't need to trace zigzag lines. Look for the same symbol on reels one, two and three (and further) in any rows, and use the paytable to see what each pays.

How the features work

The Fortune Coin symbol is the main feature. When coin symbols land on the reels, they can lead to one of three outcomes:

• Free games: a run of spins played at no extra cost.
• Cash prizes: an amount paid directly.
• The jackpot feature: entry to a bonus with four jackpots on offer.

That's the whole of what we can verify. How many coins you need, how the outcome is chosen and what each of the four jackpots is worth are set out on the game's help screens. Jackpot values can be shown as multiples of your stake or as amounts, so read them at the stake you plan to use.

We don't know whether the four jackpots are fixed or pooled across casinos, because that isn't in the specification. If it matters to you, the game rules will say. Our jackpot glossary entry explains the difference between fixed and progressive jackpots.

Fortune Coin: a name with slot history

The name has a long history at IGT. According to the history of the slot machine (opens in a new tab), a Las Vegas firm called Fortune Coin Co. developed the first video slot machine in 1976, using a modified 19-inch Sony Trinitron screen, with early units tested at the Las Vegas Hilton before Nevada approval.

In 1978 the company and its video slot technology were bought by the business that became IGT; it was called Sircoma at the time and adopted the IGT name in 1981. Today's online Fortune Coin is a separate, modern game, but it's a nice link between the first video slot and the version on your phone.

Fortune Coin RTP and the cost of play

"Up to 96.20%" tells you the best-case RTP. Studios often supply lower settings too, and casinos choose which to run. That's not an app thing: the same casino normally runs the same version on app and desktop. Our answer on whether RTP is lower on casino apps covers that myth.

At 96.20%, the house edge is 3.80%. Here's what that means for a £20 budget, using expected loss = stake × house edge × spins. A lower RTP version would make each figure bigger.

Because the volatility isn't published, you can't judge from the specification how bumpy the ride will be. A sensible approach is to start at a low stake for the first session and treat the whole budget as the price of the entertainment.

Playing Fortune Coin on iPhone and Android

You play Fortune Coin inside a casino's app or mobile site; there's no standalone app for it. Screen orientation and layout depend on the casino's build of the game, so try turning your phone if the reels look cramped.

1. Install a UK-licensed casino app: see installing on Android or downloading on iPhone.
2. Verify your age and identity, which UK casinos must do before you deposit or play.
3. Choose a deposit limit when the app asks, before the first deposit goes in.
4. Search the lobby for "Fortune Coin" and check the developer shows as IGT.
5. Open the help screen to read the RTP, the coin rules and the four jackpot values.
6. Pick a stake and spin; each spin needs its own tap under UK rules.

UK rules for Fortune Coin in casino apps

As an online slot, Fortune Coin falls under the stake limits for online slots: £5 per spin for players aged 25 and over since 9 April 2025, and £2 for 18 to 24-year-olds since 21 May 2025. The Commission's online slots stake limit guidance (opens in a new tab) explains that the limit applies per game cycle.

Since 31 October 2021, the Commission's responsible product design standard (opens in a new tab) has banned autoplay, turbo and slam-stop on slots and set a minimum of 2.5 seconds per spin. The same rules stop a game celebrating a return that's equal to or less than your stake, so a coin landing that pays back less than you staked won't be dressed up as a win.

Since 17 January 2025, you can't play several games at once and your net spend and time played must be shown. Our page on autoplay rules in the UK has the dates.
