Amazing Link: Fates Slot Machine: Review & Demo
Amazing Link: Fates is the fourth slot machine that we’re seeing released by Microgaming and SpinPlay Games for this particular series, and the third one to borrow its theme from the mythology of Ancient Greece. It’s the three ladies known as the Fates that are getting the main role in this case, while previous games used gods like Zeus and Apollo.
You’re playing via 5x3 reels in Amazing Link: Fates, and you will discover 20 active lines there. The top jackpot of the slot goes up to 5,300x the stake, volatility is only a Medium, while the RTP is 96.33%. Features range from the Amazing Link respins, to three types of free spins, and the Fates Wilds.
Amazing Link: Fates Betting and Prizes
A complete betting range in Amazing Link: Fates starts from just $0.20, and could eventually get up to $50 if the player wants to spend that much on each spin.
At the end of the day, Amazing Link: Fates can pay at most 5,300x the stake. The Mega Jackpot alone could pay 5,000x the stake, so it’s definitely possible to claim a decent prize in this medium volatility slot.
While every new Microgaming slot comes with an RTP range these days, there are values there that go up to 96.33%, so it’s possible to find a version of this game that would be considered fair by most.
Slot Features
The Fates can appear together in a single symbol, which is stacked, and could end up occupying 3 positions on a reel. You get to use these as substitutes, but only for regular symbols that can form new winning combinations this way. They can’t replace Amazing or Bonus symbols. There is a chance that they will form winning combinations by themselves, paying up to 10x the stake then (regulars pay up to 5x).
You can get access to a free spins feature, by first getting 3 Tree symbols scattered on the reels.
- Past Free Spins: each round, you get an Amazing Wild Reel, filled with Wild Amazing symbols.
- Present Free Spins: plays only with premium symbols, removing all Royals from the reels.
- Future Free Spins: plays with an Amazing Wild Reel, and it also removes all Royals from the reels.
Many would consider the Amazing Link respins to be the main feature of this slot machine. It first requires 6+ Amazing symbols (blue portals/orbs) on the reels. It locks them in place, and then 3 respins start. You reset the respins to 3 when new Amazing symbols appear. At the end of the feature, you get paid by all sticky symbols. A 5,000x Mega Jackpot can be collected if you fill all positions with Amazing symbols.
A Pick feature is also used here and could trigger at random, during regular spins or respins. Match 3 symbols, to get a prize, and it could be one of the four jackpots that are triggered.
Theme & Design
According to the stories, the Fates were three goddesses that gave mortals their destinies, at birth. Also known as the Moirai, they were called Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos. We see them in the middle of a forest in this game, at the top of the reels.
Six Greek-style Royals get us started on the paytable, 9 to A as usual. The game then follows through with four premium symbols (Star, Moon, Sun, Temple), the Fates Wild, Tree scatters, and the Amazing symbols.
Conclusion
Amazing Link: Fates looks like it could be another excellent choice from this series, one in which Microgaming has already invested quite a bit. The fourth slot is another one taking us back to the legends of Ancient Greece, so it does look like Amazing Link Riches and its Irish connection was a fluke.
