Slot Review: Fountain of Youth

In the past thousand years, few obsession have preoccupied man as completely as that of the quest to find immortality. According to legend, there is a Fountain of Youth that, when drunk from, will leave the imbiber forever young and beautiful. Purported locations for the fountain vary, and have include St. Augustine, Florida (where Ponce de Leon thought he had drunk the waters of immortality) to the Middle East. Now, punters around the world can find the Fountain of Youth right on their home computers, in the form of an online slot game. We thought that this Playtech poker machine offering was too humdrum to really carry the promise of eternity, but you may be willing to be a bit more patient.

Fountain of Youth is a three-reel, three-payline online slot machine title by Playtech. Coin values start at five cents and range upwards to five dollars. Max coins is set at a value of three, or one coin per payline for a highest per-spin wager of fifteen dollars. The jackpot is a sturdy four hundred coins. With the jackpot maxed out, that’s four thousand dollars. Certainly not a massive jackpot by any means, but enough money to take a flight of your own to visit to try and find that legendary Fountain.

This is one of those Playtech online slots that is meant to mimic the look of a classic slot machine terminal, with the cabinet digitally depicted and with the sides of adjacent terminals visible. You will see curtains in the background and windows overlooking a starry sky. On the reels, you will see images of fountains, butterflies, birds, flogs, and flowers. Some whimsical music plays as you spin the reels, which also contributes to the theme.
