Slot Glossary
36 terms covering Fortune Elixir's Elixir Wild multipliers (x2-x20 base / x100 in Free Spins), Alchemy Bonus recipe pick, retriggerable Free Spins, and the path to 2,500x.
Autoplay
Spin the reels automatically for a set number of rounds. Pick how many spins and optional stop conditions (stop on Free Spins trigger, stop on Alchemy Bonus, stop on x20 Elixir Wild landing). Useful for grinding the 1-in-240 Cauldron scatter trigger that opens the Free Spins round.
Alchemy Bonus
Fortune Elixir's recipe-based mini-game. Triggered by 3 Cauldron symbols showing the bonus stamp. Inside, you pick ingredients from a grid to mix into a recipe. Each valid combination reveals a multiplied coin prize, and the round continues until the recipe is complete. Strong recipes can stack into the 500x-2,500x range — the path to the 2,500x cap.
Base Game
Regular gameplay before Free Spins or Alchemy Bonus triggers. Fortune Elixir's base game runs across 20 Lines on the 5×3 grid. Medium volatility means relatively steady drip wins — most session profit comes from Elixir Wild multiplier landings (~1 wild per 10 spins, average x5 multiplier).
Bonus Buy (Feature Buy)
Skip the base game and jump straight into Free Spins. Fortune Elixir offers Bonus Buy at 100x bet (RTP 96.12%, average return ~70x). The buy maintains base RTP — typical Worldmatch structure. UK and Sweden block Bonus Buy by regulation.
Cascading Reels (Tumble)
After a winning combination resolves, winning symbols disappear and new ones drop into place. Fortune Elixir doesn't use cascades — wins resolve once per spin via 20 paylines. The replay action comes from Free Spins retriggers and Alchemy Bonus recipe sequences rather than in-spin cascade chains.
Cauldron Scatter
Fortune Elixir's scatter symbol. Land 3+ Cauldrons anywhere for Free Spins (10 spins to start). Cauldrons showing the bonus stamp (separate variant) trigger the Alchemy Bonus pick mini-game when 3 land. Two distinct trigger paths via the same scatter family — unusual design choice that distinguishes Worldmatch from mainstream providers.
Cluster Pays
Fortune Elixir doesn't use cluster pays. Wins resolve through 20 Lines on the 5×3 grid. Cluster pays would require connected groups of matching symbols anywhere; Fortune Elixir keeps the line-win format with Elixir Wild multipliers providing the value-escalation mechanic.
Dead Spin
A spin that returns absolutely nothing. Fortune Elixir's medium volatility produces dead spins around 60-65% of the time at base game. Even dead spins can show Elixir Wild landings on non-winning lines — those wilds reveal multiplier values for visual flavor but don't pay.
Elixir Wild
Fortune Elixir's headline mechanic. Drops on any reel and substitutes for everything except scatters. Each Elixir Wild carries a hidden multiplier between x2 and x20. When a winning line passes through one of these wilds, the line payout multiplies by that value. The wild rate sits around 1 per 10 spins, with the rare x20 stamp showing up on roughly 4% of wild drops. Average wild multiplier lands around x5.
Expanding Wilds
Fortune Elixir's Free Spins variant of Elixir Wilds. During the Free Spins round, Elixir Wilds shift behavior — they expand to cover the full reel they land on, and the multiplier cap stretches up to x100. A global x2 multiplier applies to everything during the feature, so a single expanded x100 wild on a hit line can produce a screen-clearing payout.
Feature Trigger Rate
How often Free Spins or Alchemy Bonus activates. Fortune Elixir's Cauldron scatter trigger sits at ~1 in 240 base spins for Free Spins. The Alchemy Bonus stamp variant triggers separately at roughly 1 in 320 base spins. Combined feature rate is meaningfully higher than typical 1-trigger-path slots.
Free Spins
Bonus rounds where you don't pay the stake. Fortune Elixir awards 10 spins on a 3-Cauldron trigger. Retriggers add +3 spins on each subsequent 3-scatter landing. Inside the round: Elixir Wilds expand to full reels, multiplier cap stretches to x100, global x2 multiplier on every win. Significantly different mechanics from base game.
Hit Frequency
How often Fortune Elixir lands any winning combination. The hit rate sits around 30-35% — about 1 in 3 spins pays something. Standard for medium-volatility Worldmatch designs. Elixir Wild landings boost effective win frequency because they convert dead-line spins into multiplied wins when they intersect winning lines.
Max Win
The absolute maximum a slot can pay on a single round. Fortune Elixir caps at 2,500x — modest by 2025 standards but reachable through medium-vol design. The path runs through Alchemy Bonus recipe completion combined with Free Spins retriggers and stacked Elixir Wild multipliers.
Max Win Cap
Once Fortune Elixir hits 2,500x, the round ends immediately. The 2,500x cap is conservative — Worldmatch deliberately constrained the peak to fit the medium-vol session feel. The Alchemy Bonus's strong recipes can stack into the 500x-2,500x range, while Free Spins with expanded wilds provide the secondary high-value path.
Megaways
A Big Time Gaming licensed mechanic with up to 117,649 ways to win. Fortune Elixir doesn't use Megaways — uses 20 Lines on a 5×3 grid. Worldmatch has Megaways-licensed titles in their catalog but Fortune Elixir stays with the simpler line format that fits the alchemy theme.
Multiplier
A value that multiplies your win. Fortune Elixir's Elixir Wilds carry random x2-x20 multipliers in base game (average x5). Free Spins boost the cap to x100 with a global x2 multiplier on every win. Multiple Elixir Wilds on the same payline don't multiply together — only the highest-multiplier wild on the line applies. Different from compound-multiplier slots.
Paylines
Predefined lines across the reels where matching symbols form a win. Fortune Elixir runs on 20 Lines on a 5×3 grid. Lines pay left-to-right starting from reel 1. All 20 lines are always active — you can't reduce the count to lower the stake. The 20-line density is standard for modern Worldmatch 5×3 layouts.
Paytable
The reference chart showing each symbol's payout for matching combinations. Access through the game's info menu. Fortune Elixir's premium symbols (Alchemist character, golden Cauldron, magical book) pay the most. Mid-tier symbols include alchemy imagery (potion bottles, crystal vials, pestle and mortar). Card royals (A/K/Q/J/10) fill out the bottom across the 20-line layout.
Potion Scatters
Fortune Elixir's alternative term for Cauldron scatter symbols. Three or more Potion scatters anywhere on the reels activate the Free Spins round. Landing 5 Potions on a single spin awards the maximum free spins allocation with an added multiplier — rare event with significant single-spin reward.
RNG (Random Number Generator)
The cryptographic algorithm determining every spin outcome. Worldmatch uses GLI-certified RNGs — independently audited for fairness in regulated EU markets. Each spin in Fortune Elixir is independent of the last; previous Elixir Wild values or Cauldron scatter counts have zero influence on future spin outcomes.
RTP (Return to Player)
The theoretical percentage of wagered money a slot returns over millions of spins. Fortune Elixir runs at 96.12% — slightly above the 96% industry standard. Some operators may run lower variants (94-96% common) — always verify the exact percentage in the game info screen before spinning. Worldmatch distribution skews European regulated markets.
Recipe Pick Mini-Game
Fortune Elixir's Alchemy Bonus mechanic. Inside the bonus, you pick ingredients from a grid to mix into a recipe. Each valid combination reveals a multiplied coin prize, and the round continues until the recipe is complete. Strong recipes can stack into the 500x-2,500x range. The 2,500x cap is reachable when the right ingredients chain together.
Retrigger Mechanic
Fortune Elixir's Free Spins extension. Land 3+ Cauldron scatters during the Free Spins round and additional spins are added on top of remaining spins (+3 per retrigger). Chained retriggers can stretch a 10-spin round past 20 spins with the global x2 multiplier and expanded wilds remaining active throughout.
Scatter
A special symbol that triggers features regardless of payline position. Fortune Elixir's scatter is the Cauldron. Standard Cauldrons trigger Free Spins. Stamped Cauldrons (visual variant) trigger the Alchemy Bonus recipe pick mini-game. Both variants count toward retriggers during the Free Spins round.
Session Variance
The gap between actual results and theoretical RTP. Fortune Elixir has 96.12% RTP, but a 200-spin session can return 50% to 200% of your wager. The medium volatility means session swings are smaller than high-vol slots — sessions tend to land within 70-150% of theoretical RTP without dramatic outliers.
Sticky Wild
A Wild symbol that stays in place across multiple spins. Fortune Elixir's Elixir Wilds are NOT sticky — they appear within a single spin and disappear with the next. Free Spins variant adds reel expansion but not stickiness — expanded wilds disappear after their spin completes. The persistence mechanic is multiplier-based, not position-based.
Volatility (Variance)
How a slot's payouts are distributed. Fortune Elixir is rated Medium — meaning relatively steady wins with occasional spikes from Elixir Wild high-multiplier landings (x20 base / x100 in Free Spins). Good for longer sessions where you want to grind 20 paylines without massive bankroll volatility.
Ways to Win
An alternative to fixed paylines. Fortune Elixir uses 20 Lines fixed paylines, not ways-to-win. Worldmatch reserves dynamic-ways formats for select titles in their catalog; Fortune Elixir stays with the classic line layout that works well with the Elixir Wild multiplier mechanic.
Wild
A symbol that substitutes for any regular symbol to complete winning combinations. Fortune Elixir's Elixir Wilds substitute for everything except Cauldron scatters. Each Elixir Wild carries a hidden multiplier (x2-x20 base, up to x100 during Free Spins) that applies to lines passing through the wild. Wild substitution on a busy reel can chain multiple line wins.
Win Distribution
How total payouts are spread across different win sizes. Medium-volatility slots like Fortune Elixir are balanced — Free Spins with expanded wilds contribute ~30% of total RTP, Alchemy Bonus recipes ~25%, base-game Elixir Wild multipliers ~30%, standard payline wins ~12%, retriggers ~3%. The distribution is more balanced than high-vol slots.
Bonus Buy Restrictions
Some countries ban purchasing bonus rounds. UK prohibits since October 2021. Sweden caps bet sizes during buys. Fortune Elixir's 100x Bonus Buy follows these restrictions. Worldmatch's distribution skews toward European regulated markets where buy availability varies by jurisdiction.
Worldmatch Provider Catalog
Worldmatch is an Italian-licensed provider with global distribution. Fortune Elixir (September 2025) sits in their alchemy and fantasy-themed catalog. GLI certification covers all titles. Distribution skews toward Italian regulated market (ADM-licensed operators) and broader European markets where Worldmatch has presence. Less mainstream than NetEnt or Pragmatic but recognized for innovative bonus structures.
Alchemy Theme Symbol Hierarchy
Fortune Elixir's premium symbol order. Alchemist character (top tier) pays the highest line values. Golden Cauldron second. Magical book third. Alchemy imagery (potion bottles, crystal vials, pestle and mortar) fills the mid tier. Card royals (A/K/Q/J/10) form the bottom across the 20-line layout. The premium-tier symbols pay roughly 5-10x more per line than mid-tier symbols.
5×3 Grid with 20 Paylines
Fortune Elixir's grid format. 5 reels × 3 rows = 15 cells. Pays through 20 fixed paylines — moderate density. The 5×3 layout is the most common slot format ever. Worldmatch's design philosophy keeps the grid simple while concentrating innovation in the Elixir Wild multiplier mechanic and Alchemy Bonus recipe game.
