History and Evolution

Fortune Ox was created by developer Grand Vision Gaming, adding an exciting new option to their catalog of Asian-themed slots. It joins other popular Grand Vision games like Magic Ian and Phoenix Princess in bringing a slice of Eastern culture and mythology to the reels. The release of Fortune Ox in 2022 expanded the niche market for Chinese-inspired games that offer not just an exotic location, but also unique bonus features and captivating art direction. As Grand Vision continues releasing Asian-themed slots, players have even more variety to experience immersive cultural themes while chasing huge payouts!

Gameplay Mechanics

Fortune Ox follows standard rules for a 5-reel, 3-row slot with 20 fixed paylines. To begin, select your total bet by adjusting the bet level from 1 to 10, and coin value from 0.01 up to 1. This flexibility in bet sizing makes the game suitable for varying bankrolls. Next, spin the reels – any winning payline that lands a combination of 3 to 5 matching icons will earn a payout according to the paytable. These wins are granted when said combos hit adjacently from the leftmost reel. Landing 5 wild symbols on a payline awards the game’s maximum jackpot! There are also scatters that pay out when landing any 3+ symbols regardless of payline activation.
