Fa Fa Babies 2: Slot Overview

Fa Fa Babies… Fa Fa Babies… Anyone out there know what a Fa Fa Baby might be? If so, then Fa Fa Babies 2 from developer Red Tiger might be the slot for you. Another indicator of suitability is how you felt about the original slot because the studio has, in several ways, stayed close to what came before. However, some of the changes might be points of annoyance, such as the noticeable drop in winning potential. But the high-spirited Asian-themed presentation might win people over; who knows? Let's find out.

Talking of presentation, Fa Fa Babies 2's appearance could be one of the main highlights for those in the frame of mind for this style of slot. Two babies ride golden fish flanking a gaming grid amid an explosion of brightly coloured objects. The grid hovers over a water feature, covered in lotus flowers and leaves, making for a switch from the original's heavy on the red setting. As before, four displayed prize values provide a financial incentive to give the game spin, provided really, really big prizes aren't a prime requirement since the values here aren't astronomically high.

Shifting from a 20 paylines win system to a 243 ways to win device, Fa Fa Babies 2's active gaming area is a 5-reel, 3-row zone. It is medium volatile while offering low winning potential, where the theoretical RTP is 95.73%, and the stake range is 10 c to $/€80 per spin.

Fa Fa Babies 2 keeps its pay symbols in theme, including the 10-A royals, which have a calligraphic touch to them. For high pays, Fa Fa Babies 2 has a red decoration, a golden coin, a frog, a turtle, a sycee, and a golden sailboat. Hitting 5 matching royals in a winning way gets you 1-1.2 times your stake, upping to 2-100 times the bet for landing 5 identical high pays in a winning way. The game's wild is a Yin & Yang symbol, present on reels 2, 3, and 4. Wilds substitute for all of the paying symbols.

Fa Fa Babies 2: Slot Features

Four Fortune Prizes are on show above the reels, displaying multiples of the stake. The starting value of the four prizes is 8x for the Big Fortune, 18x for the Super Fortune, 88x for the Mega Fortune, and 888x for the Divine Fortune. Fortune Prize values may be increased by landing Lucky Envelopes. When a Fortune Prize is won, it is reset to its starting value.

Lucky Envelope

Lucky Envelope scatter symbols land on reels 2, 3, and 4. Each Lucky Envelope that lands on a spin opens to reveal a Lucky Coin. The Lucky Coin is thrown randomly at one of the four Fortune Prizes or into the Gold Pot sitting above the reels. Each Lucky Coin added to a Fortune Prize increases its value by 1x the bet. Lucky Coins thrown into the Gold Pot may randomly trigger the Fortune Bonus.

Fortune Bonus

When triggered, The Fortune Bonus gives players 6 picks in a picker bonus round, where there are 20 options to choose from. Picks reveal either an instant cash prize or a Lucky Coin. There are 15 cash prizes representing a bet multiplier and 5 Lucky Coins. The cash prize values are 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x, or 10x. Revealing 2 or more Lucky Coins awards a Fortune Prize. 2 Lucky Coins award the Big Fortune. 3 Lucky Coins award the Super Fortune. 4 Lucky Coins award the Mega Fortune, and 5 Lucky Coins award the Divine Fortune. When the bonus ends, players win the combined revealed cash prize values and the highest achieved Fortune Prize.

Free Spins

Hitting 2 scatter symbols on the leftmost and rightmost reels triggers 8 free spins. Hitting 2 scatters during the free spins feature awards a further +8 free spins. During free spins, card royal symbols and Lucky Envelopes do not appear.

Fa Fa Babies 2: Slot Verdict

As alluded to in the intro, it might be hard to say that massive game-changing alterations have occurred between Fa Fa Babies and Fa Fa Babies 2. But, changes have occurred, not all of them positive. The main objectives appear to have remained more or less the same - land certain symbols to raise the Fortune Prizes and land certain symbols to trigger the picker bonus round where Fortune Prizes may be won. Or not, since Fa Fa Babies 2's Fortune Bonus also includes some less desirable bet multiplier cash prizes as well as Fortune Prizes, so Fortune Prizes aren't guaranteed to be won. Tweaks and alterations have wormed their way into Fa Fa Babies 2, fair enough, but on the whole, from a big-picture vantage point, the overall run of things is very close to how it was before.

This might not necessarily be bad if the first Fa Fa Babies game rocked your world. The follow up has a strong Asian look and feel to it, and the two babies are prominently displayed on the screen, amongst other rich cultural trappings. In terms of visual effects, Fa Fa Babies 2 is quite decent looking for this slot style. Hopefully, it is decent enough to blot out the fact its maximum win is significantly lower than it was in the previous game, at the unexciting figure of 1,223x the bet. For a game that talks up Super Fortune, Mega Fortune, Divine Fortune, and so on, this is a disappointing figure.

Ay, well, not that it especially needed one, but the Asian-themed slot category adds an extra game to the collection. Fa Fa Babies 2 isn't a particularly noteworthy addition, as you might have guessed. Winning potential is on the small side, and the gameplay hasn't progressed in staggeringly positive directions since the previous game. Fa Fa Babies 2 does look lively, and it peppers the place with the number 8 at points, so perhaps that'll be enough for certain suitably minded gamblers to get on board.
