Lady of Fortune Remastered: Slot Overview

Lady of Fortune Remastered is a refreshed take on a Play’n GO slot that originally landed back in 2014. No, you don’t need a time machine to play the first one, but the point is that Lady of Fortune arrived 10 years before this remastered edition. So why revisit this fate-and-crystal-ball-themed game now? Fair question. We’ll see if there’s a clear answer by the time we reach the end.

To its credit, the updated presentation is a major step up from the older Lady of Fortune slot. The original looks dated today, from the old-school interface to the payline numbers running down the sides of the outer reels. Lady of Fortune Remastered also feels weightier in tone, with a darker colour scheme, and that skull on the shelf in the background doesn’t exactly scream “good fortune.” Part of the original’s simple charm was its “lucky” pay symbols—rabbit’s feet, four-leaf clovers, and horseshoes. Those have been removed in Lady of Fortune Remastered, replaced by more broadly mysterious objects instead. At least the lady’s green eyes are sharper and more intense than ever, if that counts as a trade-off.

The action plays out on a 5-reel, 3-row grid featuring 15 paylines for making winning lines. Combinations pay for 3 to 5 matching symbols, and wins can begin on the first 3 reels rather than only from the far-left reel. With a volatility rating of 4 out of 10, Lady of Fortune Remastered sits in the low to medium volatility bracket, and it supports stakes from 15 cents and $/€60 per spin. There are five RTP versions available, with the best option delivering a 96.2% return to player.

Looking more closely at the paytable symbols, they run from lowest to highest as follows: swords, scales, cups, moons, books, bottles, and rings, paying 5 to around 66.67 times the bet for a 5 OAK win.

Lady of Fortune Remastered: Slot Features

Feature-wise, Lady of Fortune Remastered is largely a mirror of Lady of Fortune in its non-Remastered form. That means you’re getting wild multipliers, a Pick-a-Prize bonus, and a gamble feature.

Wild Symbols

Lady of Fortune Remastered includes 4 wild symbols carrying multipliers of x2, x3, x4, and x5. Wilds replace any symbol except scatters, and they appear only on the third reel. Any winning line that contains a wild has its payout multiplied by x2, x3, x4, or x5.

Pick-a-Prize Bonus

Scatter symbols can land on the leftmost, middle, and rightmost reel. Landing 3 scatters activates the Pick-a-Prize bonus. Players select one tarot card to uncover a reward of up to 1,500x the bet.

Gamble Round

After landing a win in the base game, players can choose to enter the optional gamble round. By correctly guessing the colour of a face-down card, the win is doubled. Correctly picking the suit of a face-down card increases the win by four times. The Gamble round is available up to 5 times in a row, with a maximum of a 2,500 coin limit.

Lady of Fortune Remastered: Slot Verdict

So… yeah. This one’s a bit tricky to pin down. For die-hard fans of the original Lady of Fortune slot who simply aren’t ready to move on, Lady of Fortune Remastered might feel like the realisation of a long-held wish. That may be overselling it, though, because it doesn’t do much that the first game didn’t already do. It is more atmospheric and certainly more modern-looking, with the original’s wide-eyed positivity swapped out for a more contemporary, world-weary edge. Then again, Lady of Fortune came out pre-pandemic, before Brexit and a certain presidency helped reshape the global mood.

Still, it’s telling when a straightforward side Gamble round gets more descriptive attention than the rest of the features. Most of them are essentially unchanged: wins from the first three reels, wild multipliers, and the pick bonus. The main note here is that the top pick prize has expanded from 150x to a much larger 1,500x. Even so, Lady of Fortune Remastered isn’t a huge max-win title, with its top payout landing only a little above the biggest pick win at 1,523.33x the bet.

A quick search for “pointless remasters” brings up plenty of examples. Lady of Fortune Remastered didn’t show up on the first page, and we didn’t have the nerve to wander into the bleak territory of page two and beyond. By the end of this review, Lady of Fortune Remastered doesn’t feel pointless exactly—more like unnecessary. Maybe Play’n GO is warming players up for Lady of Fortune 2; maybe it was simply feeling nostalgic. Whatever the studio’s reason for revisiting it, the result is a remastered edition that looks nicer, for better or for merely okay.
