Divine Fortune Pokies new from NetEnt in 2017

For fans of pokies, new games can be a tremendous draw. The thrill of fresh entertainment, and the common impression that new games start with higher payout percentages, are often a magnet for players. That’s just one of the many reasons I believe the new online pokies release from NetEnt will be extremely popular in 2017.

It’s called Divine Fortune, and it comes with a mysterious, ancient Greek motif. It’s unlike the vast majority of games form NetEnt, or the online pokies industry in general.

The game is visually stunning, with cool, calm graphics that beautifully enhance the theme. Even the musical score was expertly considered, delivering a more relaxing, yet inscrutable ambiance that I found much more alluring than most of today’s loud, fast-paced, clinkety-clack sound effects.

If you look around the world wide web for Divine Fortune Pokies reviews, you may notice a lot of mediocre, or downright negative comments. I honestly don’t believe most players gave it much of a chance.

This new online pokies is so different from the games NetEnt has been releasing lately – games like Guns N Roses, and Warlords: Crystals of Power. It’s not packed with intense graphic animation or a score of second screen bonuses. But the quality of a game shouldn’t be based on such things. In reality, the more animation and features a game relies on o attract players, the lower is payouts tend to be.

With that said, let’s take a closer look at what Divine Fortune Pokies has under the hood.

Divine Fortune Pokies New from NetEnt

NetEnt infused an ancient Greek theme in this 5-reel, 20 fixed payline game with fantastic imagery that includes popular mythological characters like Medusa, Minotaur, Griffin, Lion, and Pegasus. Other symbols include the Lightning Bolt (Free Spins) Scatter, Gold Coin, and playing card values of 10-Ace, but with slim, Greek number styles.

Divine Fortune also features a Minor, Major and Mega Progressive Jackpot, making things a lot more interesting for players.

Wilds: The Pegasus Wild has various powers, depending on what’s activated at the time. It could play the traditional role of wilds, replacing any symbol needed to make a winning combination, or it could expand to fill an entire reel.

Free Spins: When 3 or more Free Spins Scatters appear on the reels, the player is awarded 5+ free spins. During free spins, wilds always expand the full length of the reel. They also convert to ‘Falling Wilds‘, meaning they will drop one space on the reels per spin for two free Re-Spins, increasing the player’s chance of unleashing more coins.

Jackpot Bonus: Each time a Gold Coin appears on the reels, it’s collected in a special pot on the right of the screen. Every collected coin lights up one of the three ruby-red gems on the pot. Once three coins are collected, it triggers the Jackpot Bonus Game.

Players receive 5 free spins in which they hope to fill all the reels with Gold Coins. They start with a selection of 5 coins to begin,placed randomly on the reels. Each spin will either result in coins or empty spaces. Every coin is worth a random credit payout, but filling an entire row with coins unleashes a jackpot. One row awards the Minor jackpot, two rows the Major jackpot, and if all three rows are filled, the Mega progressive jackpot is paid.

NetEnt CPO Simon Hammon commented on the new online pokies’ progressive jackpot. “NetEnt’s jackpot games provide unrivalled variety and liquidity. The launch of Divine Fortune takes the range and quality on offer to an even higher level. We have no doubts that the game will be a hugely popular addition to our game portfolio.”
