WHAT WE CHECKED IN THE ORIGINAL GAME
How Mystic Fortune works.
Four pictures, plain English.
We read the English rules and checked real game results. Start here, then open the evidence if you want the detail.
01 / FOLLOW A LINEMatching symbols need a path.
15243
Five reels, three rows, 25 set paths. Ordinary symbols pay along a path from left to right. Matching pictures scattered around the screen are not necessarily a line win.
Our diagram of printed line 4, checked against the captured paytable. A path example, not a winning spin.
See all 25 paths →02 / THE BIRD FILLS A GAPBird + Lion + Lion can pay as Lions.

The bird is Wild: it stands in for ordinary symbols, but not the portrait Scatter. We recorded Bird, Lion, Lion on line 4. The game paid that line as three Lions.
Our official Habanero demo development capture, separate from the earlier Nine example. It cycles line highlights: the visible 2.50 is another line. The Lion line paid 50.00; the full round paid 61.00.

YOU STAKED12.50
GAME PAID5.00
YOUR NET RESULT−7.50
Our three Nines paid on two different lines, 2.50 each. That was a 5.00 payout, but the whole spin cost 12.50. A win animation does not necessarily mean a profit.
One completed recorded demo round. Credits have no cash value. This is payout accounting, not a return-rate estimate.

The captured original rules say prizes are tripled during free games. They use the triggering bet and lines, and can retrigger. Two portraits can give a cash payout without starting the bonus.
Official rules we captured, not a bonus we played. We have not recorded a complete natural feature yet.
