By Brian Cullingworth, Last updated Jan 11, 2019

NetEnt Launch Luxury-Themed Slot

‘Turn Your Fortune’ inspired by opulence of French Art Nouveau

NetEnt has launched ‘Turn Your Fortune’, a five-reel, 40-bet line slot themed inspired by the grandeur of French Art Nouveau.

Players collect French-styled golden symbols from the reels and go up the coin win ladder. The mechanic appears in both Fortune Re-Spins and Free Spins, and players get wins both from the bet lines and from the Fortune Wins.

The Free Spins feature starts with a 3-tier Free Spins Wheel. When the Free Spins Wheel stops, the position of its tiers defines the number of Free Spins won (7 to 13), the collectable symbol in Free Spins and the starting Fortune Wins level (2, 3 or 4). The Fortune Wins in Free Spins can be up to 2000 times the bet.

The Fortune Re-Spins pays up to 200 times the bet. And both Free Spins and Re-Spins can be triggered on the same bet.

Turn your Fortune follows Berryburst as the second release in NetEnt’s MAX product line. MAX offers higher volatility and allows operators to cater to different player needs in different areas of their offering.

“Turn Your Fortune and its sibling Turn Your Fortune MAX offers great and innovative game mechanics,” Bryan Upton, director of game products for NetEnt, said. “I’m sure players will have an exciting experience as they work their way up the Fortune ladder. The Art Nouveau-inspired theme, with golden details and intricate décor, will take players back to France in the late 19th Century.”

Blueprint Gaming Launch Mars Attacks!

Sci-Fi themed title based on 1996 classic film

Gauselmann’s Blueprint Gaming, in partnership with Warner Bros. Consumer Products has launched Mars Attacks!™ based on the 1996 classic sci-fi film of the same name.

Mars Attacks!™ features five progressive bonus rounds which build up to the final stand, along with an Alien Invasion Gamble enabling players to upgrade the feature and Martian Modifiers, which offer 3125 pay ways.

Mars Attacks!™ is the latest Blueprint game to contain the Jackpot King Deluxe progressive jackpot system. The advancement of the Jackpot King multi-game system features two ‘must be won by’ pots that guarantee a fixed value payout.

Jo Purvis, Director of Marketing and Relationships at Blueprint Gaming, said: “We come in peace! Mars Attacks!™ is an iconic sci-fi film, and we are really excited to offer it to all of our partners and their players.

“It’s one of our most engaging titles yet, with a multitude of bonus features and the possibility of defending the world against the alien invasion in a bonus mode. Fans of the film will be able to battle through progressive bonus rounds, with a giant finale fitting of the comedy classic.”

Brian Cullingworth

Infopowa news was a staple of Casinomeister’s news from 2000 until 2019. Brian Cullingworth was the main writer, contributor, and was one of the most knowledgeable persons I have ever known involved in the online casino industry.

We first met in January 2001 at the ICE in London where I observed him going booth to booth interviewing online casino, software, and licensing jurisdiction representatives. Brian was also heavily involved with our forum as “Jetset“, he was involved as an informal consultant to eCOGRA, the OPA, and was a player advocate who assisted countless aggrieved players with his connections to industry folks. He also published “Casino Cautions” via Infopowa news for quite a number of years. These can be found in our news archives.

His passing in February 2019 was a dark day for us. He will be forever missed.
