We'll share our findings with you here, especially as there are lots of great elements to check out when you play it.
Who is the game's developer?
We can namecheck Spin Logic Gaming for this one.
Be ready to load a demonstration version
Yep, this game comes with the practice alternative if you want to try that first. We suggest you do.
The theme is a 'reel' Asian delight
The mention of a Buddha in the title gives away the theme here, and you'll see lots of other relevant imagery landing on the reels as well.
The game has a beautiful and engaging design
This is one of those slots that really helps you sink into it thanks to all the design elements it presents you with. The golden Buddha is beautifully rendered, but there are lotus flowers, bags of gold coins, and plenty of other icons to look at too.
How to play the Fortunate Buddha slot game
There are five reels in this one, and it offers three icons per reel. It doesn't take more than a second or two to realize it also has five jackpots, as these sit to the left of the first reel. They go from the Mini Jackpot all the way to the Super Grand Jackpot.
The wild is simple to spot as it says just that. It lands on every reel except for the first one, substituting for everything apart from the scattered bag of coins and the Fortune Orb symbol. The coin bag appears in blue and gold, while the orb is gold and glowing.
If you like lots of paylines, you'll love this game
They've fitted 50 lines into the game reels, and you can see how they all work out by checking out the paytable.
The betting options make this a penny slot
Remember though that with 50 lines in action, you're going to bet at least 50 cents per spin on the game. The largest spin wager is $5. You may notice that while the top three jackpots are progressive, the bottom two are fixed and relate to the value of the spin bet you are playing.
The paytable appears in the usual spot
You can spot it over to the left, just under the jackpot totals.
Watch out for the Fortune Link bonus round
Can you spot six or more of those glowing balls to unlock this round? If so, the ones you begin the round with are locked. You get one respin of the remaining positions to see if you can find another one. If you do, you get another respin. This continues until you either fill the screen with orbs or you end up with no new ones anywhere in sight. The orbs each show a value, so you'll receive the total amount collected at the end of the feature. If you fill all the positions with orbs, you'll get the Super Grand Jackpot.
Can you unlock some free spins in Fortunate Buddha?
Three scattered cash bags reveal six free games. You can get another three in exchange for finding another three or more scatters during those.

Our rating for the Fortunate Buddha slot game
There is plenty on offer here, although it looks like the free spin round is quite standard. The Fortune Orb round could be tricky to access too, but overall, this game offers enough to warrant a score of 7.5 out of 10.
Everyone wants the Super Grand Jackpot
This is the best progressive the game can offer, but you'll need to fill the Fortune Orb grid with 15 orbs to get it. Can you earn enough respins to make that happen?
The demo provides a sense of what it is like to play this one
That's why we always recommend trying this version first.
The real game provides you with a chance to score real prizes
Always remember to sort out a budget first though - and make sure this is a budget you can lose, as you never can tell what is going to happen when you play a slot game.
