About the Fortune Hearts Slot
Fortune Hearts comes from Konami, a studio that reached casinos from video games, with an Eastern theme of luck and wealth. Two characters, HERO and DEVIL, can each open the main bonus. Its pace favours a player who enjoys a bonus round where prizes pile up on a top screen while a spin counter keeps resetting.
In the base game, stacks of one symbol fill parts of the reels before each spin starts. The main bonus collects Hearts onto a top screen with 12 positions and runs on a short counter of Bonus Spins. The second bonus is simpler: 3 Coin Scatters award 5 Free Games, and those games put more Hearts on the reels.
Fortune Hearts Pokie Theme & Design
The Fortune Hearts pokie fills its reels with Chinese prosperity charms: gold ingots, a Money Tree, a Money Bag, a Dragon Turtle and a Pig. Lucky Cat is the richest regular symbol, while the card ranks A to 9 make up the lower tier. The gold ingot doubles as the Coin Scatter, and HERO, a crowned figure in a red robe, plays the Wild.
RTP, Volatility & Max Win
The Fortune Hearts slot returns 96.09% in its online version. Konami sets the online and cabinet builds of one title to different returns, so a venue machine may show another figure. Volatility is Medium-High, and the top win is 10,000x the stake: A$3,000 at A$0.30 and A$60,000 at A$6.00.
The largest prizes come from the Grand Jackpot, a sticky x5 on reel 1 and 5x stacks in Free Games. At Medium-High volatility the bonus can stay away for long stretches, so plan each session with a reserve.
Heart Collection in the Fortune Hearts Feature
When the Fortune Hearts game enters its main feature, a random reel array appears and the round runs on a short counter of Bonus Spins. From there, everything depends on the Hearts that land.
HERO or DEVIL: How the Feature Starts
6 or more Hearts on the reels start the Fortune Hearts Feature with the HERO. A smaller count of 1 to 5 Hearts can start it with the DEVIL, as a random chance with no guarantee on any spin. Free Games lower the threshold.
Top Screen and the 3 Bonus Spin Reset
The feature opens with 3 Bonus Spins. A Heart that lands on reel 2, 3 or 4 reveals a credit prize. That prize moves up to the top screen with its 12 positions and adds to the credits already collected there.
Every Heart that lands in an empty top-screen spot puts the Bonus Spins back to 3. A Heart collected into a position that is already filled leaves the counter where it stands. The round ends when the Bonus Spins run out with no new position filled.
Reel 1 Multipliers and MINI/MAJOR/MAXI Power-Ups
Anything that lands on reel 1 during the feature sticks until the round ends: x2, x3 and x5 multipliers plus MINI, MAJOR and MAXI power-ups. Credit prizes activate them, and each one then powers up every later credit prize on its own row. A x5 that sticks on reel 1 keeps working on its row until the feature ends.
Mega Jackpot and Grand Jackpot
The Mega Jackpot can be won on any spin of the feature when it is revealed on a Heart on reels 2–4. The Grand Jackpot pays once every position on the top screen is filled. Reaching it is a test of stamina, because the round keeps running as long as new positions keep filling.
Action Stacked Symbols & HERO Wild
Before the reels move, Action Stacked Symbols swap a group of adjacent positions on each reel for one of the game's symbols. Every replaced position on that reel shows the same symbol. A stack of Lucky Cats on two or three adjacent reels can cover several of the 30 lines at once.
The HERO Wild substitutes for every symbol except the Coin Scatter. It appears on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 only, so reel 1 must land a real symbol for any line to begin.
Except for the Coin Scatter, wins pay from the leftmost reel to the right across adjacent reels. Only the highest win on each line counts, and wins on different lines are added together.
Coin Free Games
Coin Scatters trigger this round, and the Free Games put more Hearts on the reels. Any 5 or more Hearts then start the Fortune Hearts Feature, and the chance of triggering it is higher.
3 Coin Scatters for 5 Free Games
3, 4 or 5 Coin Scatters anywhere on the grid award 5, 15 or 30 Free Games. During the round, 2, 3, 4 or 5 Coin Scatters add 3, 5, 15 or 30 more games. Bet and lines carry over from the triggering spin, the feature uses its own reels, and the trigger's Scatter pay is added on top.
| Coin Scatters | Base game trigger | Retrigger in Free Games |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | N/A | +3 |
| 3 | 5 Free Games | +5 |
| 4 | 15 Free Games | +15 |
| 5 | 30 Free Games | +30 |
Multiplied Stacks During Free Games
At the start of every Free Game, the Action Stacked Symbols on 1 or 2 reels receive a 2x, 3x or 5x multiplier. All stacked symbols on one reel carry the same multiplier. Each multiplied symbol in a winning line multiplies that line's pay accordingly.
Fortune Hearts Symbols and Pays
Line pays are in credits multiplied by the bet per line. Brackets show AUD at the top stake of A$6.00, or A$0.20 per line across 30 lines. The Coin Scatter pays on the total bet; only the highest Scatter win counts, and it is added to line wins.

Playing Fortune Hearts on a Budget
Stakes span a 20-fold range, and the main bonus lives on a short Bonus Spin counter. Before you play Fortune Hearts, work out how many spins your AUD budget buys at each end of that range.
| Session budget | Spins at A$0.30 (A$0.01/line) | Spins at A$6.00 (A$0.20/line) |
|---|---|---|
| A$50 | 166 | 8 |
| A$100 | 333 | 16 |
| A$200 | 666 | 33 |
- The minimum stake stretches a session into more attempts at the Hearts that start the feature and the Coin Scatters that open Free Games.
- With a budget of about A$100, the maximum stake leaves too few spins to reasonably expect a bonus at Medium-High volatility.
- Enter your chosen session amount as a casino deposit limit before the first spin.
