What the tile says about Fortune Link and the jackpots
The tile names three features: Fortune Link, free games and progressive jackpots. It lists the five jackpot tiers but explains none of the mechanics, and Springbok has not written them up for this title. The official card art, a golden smiling Buddha above lotus flowers, sets the lucky-fortune mood without telling you how the game plays.
Fortune Link
Springbok has reviewed Big Cat Links, a later title whose tile lists the same feature names and the same five jackpot tiers. Springbok's claim That review says Fortune Link on Big Cat Links begins when enough gold coins land, and that filling every position on the reels wins the Super Grand.
Springbok has not said whether Fortunate Buddha's round works the same way. Treat the Big Cat Links description as a checklist for Fortunate Buddha's rules screen, not as a description of this game; trigger counts and coin values can differ between titles that share a feature name.
Jackpots and free games
Current jackpot sizes are shown inside the game. We do not copy them here: a figure taken today would be wrong tomorrow, and a big number on a page reads like a promise it is not. The free-games round is confirmed by the tile, but what starts it and how many games it gives are not, so read the rules screen before you count on it.
Progressive jackpots, but not in the Progressives tab
Here is an oddity worth knowing. The Fortunate Buddha tile mentions progressive jackpots, yet the game was not one of the 10 titles in the lobby's Progressives tab on 9 October 2026: Aztec's Millions, Caribbean Draw Poker, Caribbean Hold'Em Poker, Caribbean Stud Poker, Jackpot Cleopatra's Gold, Jackpot Cleopatra's Gold Deluxe, Jackpot Piñatas Deluxe, Megasaur, Shopping Spree II and Spirit of the Inca. Big Cat Links is missing from that tab as well.
Springbok does not explain how it fills the Progressives tab, so we cannot tell you why. In practice it means two things: browsing that tab will not show you Fortunate Buddha, and the tab is not a complete list of every slot with a growing jackpot.
None of this is connected to Springbok's opt-in Lobby Jackpot, a separate side pot with its own small compulsory stake on every slot spin for players who join it. The details are in Springbok's terms and conditions.

The difference that matters to your budget is volatility: Big Cat Links carries the lobby's high label, Fortunate Buddha the medium one. If the Fortune Link format appeals but you want the steadier of the two, the tiles point to Fortunate Buddha. If you want bigger swings and Springbok's fuller write-up, look at Big Cat Links.

Playing Fortunate Buddha with a bonus
A medium-volatility game is a middle road for working through 30x wagering on deposit plus bonus: fewer long droughts than a high-volatility title is built for, though the label promises nothing about any single session. With 50 paylines in play, the total stake climbs faster than the line bet suggests, so read the total against the R100 cap before you spin.
