In this other reality, the magical prowess is too weak. It is a place where the enchantments are not as powerful as one might hope. The inhabitants of this realm are limited in their ability to harness the mystical energies that surround them. The mystical arts, once highly revered and practiced, have lost their potency in this other dimension. The spells that were once able to bend reality and shape the world around them now only produce weak and fleeting effects. The wizards and sorcerers of this realm struggle to tap into the deep well of magical power that they know exists elsewhere.
I think the best word to describe the design would be ‘lavish’. The colours are rich, the symbols intricate and the background dark and moonlit. There are some animations, for example the eye in the hand blinks and candle flickers – this is small scale and does not make the overall look of the game too hectic or intensive. Sounds are used very effectively, with the violin warming up while the reels spin and continuing a tune if wins come in. This is accompanied by a Spanish guitar and of course that annoying cat.
The Fortune Telling Machine is an interactive entity that does not have health like the shop keeper not to be confused with the mini-bosses Greed and Super Greed or the enemy Hanger. Much like the standard Slot Machine and Blood Donation Machine, it may also explode, yielding either a collectable the Crystal Ball , Pick Up s , or a Trinket.
The wizards and sorcerers of this realm struggle to tap into the deep well of magical power that they know exists elsewhere. They spend years studying and honing their skills, yet are unable to achieve the same level of mastery that their counterparts in other realities effortlessly possess. This lack of magical prowess has had a profound impact on the society in this reality.
Fortune Telling Machine
The Fortune Telling Machine is an interactive "entity" that does not have health like the shop keeper (not to be confused with the mini-bosses Greed and Super Greed or the enemy Hanger). Using it will cost a cent and will return one of a number of predetermined results. These include certain Pick Ups, Trinkets or a fortune message. Much like the standard Slot Machine and Blood Donation Machine, it may also explode, yielding either a collectable (the Crystal Ball), Pick Up(s), or a Trinket. Fortune Telling Machines can also be blown up, yielding one of a few basic Pick Ups.
Fortune Telling Machines can be found anywhere normal Slot Machines can be found, including being summoned by the Wheel of Fortune Tarot Card.
When using the Fortune Telling Machine with the Lucky Foot (Cain starts with this), the player will never receive an actual fortune and only item drops. This is not the case in The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth.
