Fields of Fortune - Review, Free Spins & Bonuses

Fields of Fortune is a five-reel, 25-line video slot from Ash Gaming, a studio owned by Playtech, released in 2017. It is set in a sunny cottage garden full of cartoon flowers with faces, vegetables and garden tools. Among fortune field slots, it stands out for its comic, light-hearted style.

The main draw is the free spins round. It has no fixed number of spins: it keeps going until a fourth scatter lands. Before it starts, you choose a version with a growing multiplier or a version where flowers turn wild. An optional Feature mode doubles your stake and makes the round easier to trigger.

The reels are set in a vegetable patch on a bright spring day. The low-value card symbols (10 to A) are drawn as carrots, parsnips and green beans. The premium symbols are cartoon flowers with faces, including a Venus Flytrap, a Snap Dragon and a Dandy Lion, along with a watering can and garden tools.

The flowers turn into snapping man-eating plants during the Feature mode and the bonus round. The game was built in HTML5, so it runs in mobile browsers on iOS and Android as well as on desktop.

Fields of Fortune uses a standard 5x3 grid with 25 fixed paylines. Wins pay from left to right. You can’t change the number of lines, so your stake always covers all 25.

• Top symbols: the Venus Flytrap, Snap Dragon and Dandy Lion. Review databases list five of a kind as paying 1,000x the line bet. Some flower symbols pay from just two on a line.
• Mid symbols: two more flower characters, the watering can and garden tools.
• Low symbols: vegetable-style 10, J, Q, K and A.
• Wild: a rose that lands only on reels 2, 3 and 4.
• Scatter: a wooden garden sign, which becomes a scarecrow in Feature mode.

We couldn’t check the full paytable against an official game sheet. Open the paytable in the game to see the exact values for your stake before you play.

Expanding Wild Rose

The rose wild appears only on the three middle reels. It substitutes for all paying symbols except the scatter. When it completes a win, it expands to fill the whole reel, which can add extra line wins on the same spin.

Feature Mode and the Power Scatter

A Feature On/Off toggle lets you double your stake. With Feature mode on, the scatter becomes a scarecrow Power Scatter. A scatter that only partly shows above or below the reels still counts as a full symbol, which makes free spins easier to trigger. It is an ongoing stake increase, not a one-off bonus buy.

Free Spins: Carrots or Parsnips

Three scatters trigger the free spins, and you then choose one of two versions:

• Carrot Free Spins: each new scatter adds 1 to a win multiplier. Sources describe the multiplier as reaching up to 5x.
• Parsnip Free Spins: each scatter turns another flower symbol into a wild, so more wilds can land as the round goes on.

The round has no set number of spins. It continues until a fourth scatter appears, so its length varies a lot from one round to the next.

Several independent slot databases list an RTP of 96.22%. We couldn’t confirm this on a Playtech or Ash Gaming game sheet, and casinos sometimes run older Playtech titles at different settings. Check the help screen at your casino for the version you’re playing.

Sources disagree on volatility, with descriptions ranging from low-medium to medium-high. In practice, the base game pays modestly, and most of the bigger potential sits in the free spins. No official maximum win as a multiple of the stake has been published. The commonly quoted 1,000x figure is the top line prize, not a total-stake cap. There is no progressive jackpot.

1. Set your stake. Reviews list a range of 0.25 to 125 per spin in normal mode, which is roughly £0.25 to £125 in GBP. Your casino may set different limits.
2. Decide on Feature mode. Turning it on doubles the cost of each spin (up to 250) in return for the Power Scatter and easier bonus triggers.
3. Spin. Watch for rose wilds on reels 2 to 4 and for scatters anywhere on the reels.
4. Pick your bonus. When three scatters land, choose Carrot (multiplier) or Parsnip (extra wilds) free spins.
5. Play out the round. Spins continue until the fourth scatter appears, and then your winnings are added to your balance.

• Count Feature mode as a double stake. A 0.50 base bet costs 1.00 with the feature on. Set your session budget around the real cost per spin.
• Pick the free spins version that suits you. Carrot spins build towards one big multiplied win. Parsnip spins spread the value through extra wilds. Neither changes the game’s long-term return.
• Expect quiet spells. Because so much of the value comes from the bonus round, the base game can go a long time between decent wins.
• Read bonus terms. If you use a free spins offer or a deposit bonus, check whether this game counts towards wagering. Our guide to casino bonus terms explains what to look for.

Fields of Fortune is a charming, slightly odd garden slot. Its best idea is free spins that last until a fourth scatter lands, plus the choice between a multiplier and extra wilds. The expanding rose wild keeps the base game moving, and Feature mode gives you a clear trade-off: pay double for easier access to the bonus.

On the downside, the official RTP, volatility and maximum win aren’t published in an easy-to-verify form. The game is also now an older title that some casinos no longer offer. If you find it, try the demo first if one is available, and check the help screen before you play for real money.
