Jamaican a Fortune

My wife's gone to the West Indies, or so the famous joke starts... 'Jamaica' is the answer from an imaginary friend in conversation... 'No, she went of her own accord' is the punch-line to a joke that you've probably heard so many times that you've skipped to this part of the review already. Jamaica however is a place that we associate with fun and relaxed behaviour, and even if that's just because the sun is always shining there, then you can make the sun shine in the same way in your home with the excellent Microgaming pub fruity, Jamaican a fortune.

Jamaican a Fortune is a cleverly put together three reel, central pay line fruit machine that is really well designed in terms of the graphics and sounds. If you like any of the sound system blasting, easy toasting Reggae music that's come out of the creative isle of Jamaica in the last 20 years then you'll absolutely go mad for Jamaican a Fortune and this really is the fruity for you, as the music on this great gaming machine together with the sound FX makes for one of the best audio experiences available in the current overstocked fruit machine market. Add to this some of the richest, most sumptuous graphics that the Microgaming artists could pull out of their hats and you'll find Jamaican a Fortune a fruity experience you can't stay away from.

Conveniently the fruit symbols fit in very well with the overall feel of the machine so this is a fruity that hasn't had to adapt its reel symbols from convention to suit the bespoke parts of the game. Jamaican a Fortune sits on the superb Microgaming engine that ensures you get a fair and fun gaming experience every time you play the game. This game just wouldn't be a fruit machine (or a pub slot as Microgaming sometimes call this branch of their fruit machines, previously known as AWP machines) without the nudges and holds that characterise this genre of gambling, and any fruit machine playing Rasta worth his Reggae will know how to up their wins with these feature favourites.

The game of course has a bonus game, which features the title's sub-game Jamaican a Fortune, which plays across 9 reels, and the bonus game itself is activated by a simple numbers on pay line trail. The bonus game, like all fruit machines is based around a do I take it now, or try for more later juxtaposition and features games such as Win-A-Gain and NudgeMania, with the puns on the machine not actually being up to the usual high Microgaming standard, but as we've already said, this is more than made up by the phenomenal soundtrack.

Of course, just like the older fruit machines out there, Jamaican a Fortune is a little basic for the slot old timers who like the 5 reel monsters that crack in a percentage win with every spin as everything is a little more red, yellow and green on this fruit machine. But for anyone who's ever loved a bit of Bob Marley, or for the novice player, you'd be hard pushed to find a more acoustically entertaining fruit machine.
