Frog Fortunes online slot comes to SlotoCash online casino

Frogs are very symbolic in the legends and tales of many cultures. In particular, European fairy tales often feature frogs as purveyors of good news and good fortunes. Now you can explore the luck that these amphibians bring and collect some of your own lucky wins with the new Frog Fortunes cash casino online slot.

Frogs

Frogs exist on every continent except for Antarctica. They feature in the proverbs of many different countries. Greeks talk about a frog who swelled up until he burst while in Holland, it’s said that “the frog will jump back into the pool, although it sits on a golden stool.”

The Chinese are philosophical, saying “Never try to catch two frogs with one hand” and in Nigeria, it is said that “the frog does not jump in the daytime without reason.”

Frogs have been symbols of fertility since ancient times in many different cultures, notably in ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt where the people revered frogs as creatures who bestowed abundance in many different spheres.

Romans associated frogs with harmony and classic fairy tale authors from Aesop in ancient Greece to the Grimm Brothers of Germany. Grimm Bros. tales tend to reflect the continuing held beliefs that frogs are creatures who pop their  heads out of rivers, woods, wells and springs to announce a forthcoming pregnancy.

Other frogs appear in children’s stories in which the frog is portrayed as a prince who, for some reason or another, was changed into a frog and is waiting for a magic potion or action that will change him back.  Many commentators trace this back to the changes that frogs undergo through their lives, first in water and then on land.

Frogs are first laid as water-borne eggs and then they hatch into sperm-like creatures from which legs emerge (tadpoles). When they become froglets they grow legs and that allows them to become adult frogs. All stages but the final one take place entirely in water. This also makes them symbols of metamorphosis.

There are numerous frogs in modern culture, most notably the loveable Kermit the Frog who, for almost 60 years, has been enchanting children with his wisdom and antics on Sesame Street. In the early days, Kermit was a vague, lizard-like creature but after Johnny Carson referred to him as “Kermit the Frog” in 1971, he was forever inducted into modern culture as a frog. Kermit was, perhaps best known, for his song Bein’ Green in which he sends the message that it’s OK to be different.

Next to Big Bird, Bert and Ernie, Miss Piggy and Cookie Monster, Kermit is, perhaps, the best known of the Sesame Street characters. He went on to star in other Muppets features including The Muppets Show. Kermit’s place is forever sealed in history as the recipient of an honorary doctorate of Amphibious Letters from Southampton College.

Frogs aren’t just popular in old classic. They feature in many modern media. A human, Harold, returns to his natural state as a frog in Shrek II and a webcomic called Boy’s Club features Pepe the Frog. In the gaming world, a number of Pokemons feature frogs and toads including Seismitoda, Greninja, Poliwrath and Politoed.  

Some fun facts about frogs include:

  • Toads have bumpier skin than do frogs. Frogs’ skin is smooth and slick so they seem to be a bit slimy. Toads are also fuller in bulk than frogs. If you can’t tell which is a frog and which is a toad, look at its eyes – frogs’ eyes are high and circular and toads have eyes that are oval – almost football – shaped.  
  • There are 4,740 varying frog species in the world.
  • The slick skin of a frog attracts predators while the bumpier skin of the toad repels predators.
  • Frogs don’t drink water – rather they absorb it through their skin.
  • Frogs come in many different sizes. Some larger frogs eat rats, lizards, snakes, mice and small birds. Larger frogs have been known to eat smaller frogs.
  • The “ribbit” sound that is generally associated with frogs is actually only made by the Pacific Tree Frog. There are, all in all, over 1000 types of sounds made by the various species of frogs.

Frog Fortunes Online Slot

RealTime Gaming takes you through the marshlands of the swampy marsh on a visit to Mr. Frog’s home in this real money, 2000x jackpot gaming extravaganza. The game is a five-reel, 20 payline slot and is suitable for both high-stakes and budget gamers with bet sizes that start at 0.20 coins and can go up to 100 coins. Maximum wins is 250,000 coins.

The game hops through the bog to the frog’s moss-covered shack when you’ll see him alternating between banjo-playing and porch-dozing. The whimsical slot is enhanced by the well-designed graphic images and the attention to detail including an old Louisiana license plate dropping down from a car bumper to display big wins and alerts for smaller wins sent out by an old tire hanging on a rope. Throughout the game the frog’s banjo plays alongside win count and reel spin sounds. 

Game symbols include a whisky jug, a fish and a bucket full of gold coins. The frog with his banjo is the Wild Symbol and appears on the first, third and fifth reel to substitute for other symbols and complete winning paylines. The game’s logo is stacked whenever it emerges on the paylines which will then award the maximum win of 500x your stake.

There are nine separate special features in this game including: 

  • Reel Multiplier - Frog Fortunes is one of the first slot games with a reel modifier which occurs when Mr. Frog wakes up from his nap at the start of a spin and throws his fishing rod into the marsh. If his fishing rod avoids the old bicycle wheels and old tools that are floating around and hooks a bottle, you’ll receive a reel modifier.
  • Mega Pickin’ Symbol Bonus - Mr. Frog turns three consecutive reels into a mega symbol in the Mega Pickin’ Symbol bonus feature. Mr. Frog lights his pipe and blows out a smoke bubble. That bubble will select one of three reels, the front, middle or back reel, 3x3 mega symbols will appear on the spin and will then indicate the winning combo.
  • Cotton Shakin’ Wilds - in the Cotton Shakin’ Wilds bonus game the frog transforms a random number of reel positions into wild symbols which means that there are more opportunities to score a win.
  • Rootin’ Tootin’ Multiplier - the Rootin’ Tootin’ multiplier is activated after a Mr. Frog burp. When Mr. Frog belches, you’ll get a win multiplier for the spin of up to x20.
  • Bonus Diggin’ Chance - you can add more bonus symbols to the reels through the Bonus Diggin’ Chance Feature which gives you a 50% higher chance of triggering the bonus round.
  • Random Bonus Rewind - Mr. Frog rewinds the reels whenever 2 scatters appear on a spin. The rewind awards the scatter on the fifth reel.
  • Cash Bugs Bonus Game - in the Cash Bugs Bonus Game the bugs that are buzzing around on the screen carry a coin win. If Mr. Frog successfully swats one of the bugs, you’ll win a coin valued at anywhere from 2x to 50x your bet.
  • Free Spins Game - when a regular game spin results in 3 scatters the free spins game will trigger. You get 14 free spins in which the wooden logs that are floating on the first and third rows, plus the lily pads that are floating on the 2nd row, wait for a frog wild to land on them. Once the frog lands the logs and lily pads turn wild and then jump off to increase the win total. 
  • Super Spin - every free spins game ends with a Super Spin which comes with a guaranteed win with multipliers of x1 through x50, based on the number of frog wilds collected.

With a generous RTP of 97.05%, cascading symbols, 20 paylines and nine different special features, this is a game that shouldn’t be missed!
