Tower of Fortuna promises to be a unique release from Betsoft, as a slot machine that blends the Ancient Greek legends, with some new mechanics. They’re promising to have excellent graphics, to go with the mechanic that has us climbing a tower towards the stars, and winning big both during winning and losing rounds. Despite the smaller game area, it offers a lot to the modern player, so it’s not a classic release.
It’s a smaller game area, with 3x3 reels providing us with 5 active lines. Thanks to its Climbing The Tower multipliers, the Crimson Flag Wilds, and Fortuna’s Free Spins, there is plenty of potential in this medium volatility slot. Up to 3,200x the stake is paid per spin.
Betting and Prizes
Tower of Fortuna doesn’t have a huge game area, and with its few lines, it doesn’t require a large bet to get you started. $0.60 to $9.60 is the range available.
The absolute best prize that Tower of Fortuna can deliver, is worth 3,200x the stake. Considering that its volatility is only a Medium, it’s a pretty good top prize for anyone to go after. While individual combinations pay at most 10x the stake each, once multipliers start getting involved, the potential increases considerably.
I would also note the Return to Player, which is at 96.09%, an average figure in this industry.
Tower of Fortuna Game Features
You’re playing this game on 3x3 reels, and there are 5 active lines. You need 3 matching symbols occupying an entire line, to get you paid.
If you can’t get a win that round, then the mechanic called Climbing the Tower is activated and gives the multiplier a boost by 1x. It will keep going up by 1x, round after round, until you finally get a win. The win of that round will be multiplied by the amount you’ve collected so far, and then the multiplier resets to 1x.
The Crimson Flag is going to be the wild symbol, which you can use as a replacement, though only for a regular symbol. Only the 2nd reel can get wilds on it.
The scatter symbol has the image of the Sun, and it can land once on each reel. You need all three visible simultaneously, to trigger 10 of Fortuna’s Free Spins. The feature is retriggered through another set of 3 Sun scatters. You can still use the increasing multiplier mechanic here, to get better prizes.
You can also buy access to the free spins feature, but you will have to pay 50x the stake to get the 10 spins.
Theme & Design
There is a bit of Ancient Rome in the design of this slot machine. Fortuna, goddess of chance in the Roman pantheon, is the star inside, even though we don’t actually see her. There are ancient temples in the background, and images of green rolling hills, forests, and mountains. The attention will quickly go towards the game area, with its three levels, showing symbols between the marble pillars.
The symbols chosen for it will start with the four top Royals (J-A), followed by images of a Bull, an Eagle, a Lion, Jupiter, the Moon, a Crimson Flag, and the Sun scatter.
Conclusion
I enjoyed the graphics in Tower of Fortuna, but there is more to it than just pretty pictures. It’s a 3-reel slot with enough special features to turn it into a modern release. It even pays above average, it’s only a medium in terms of volatility, and the RTP is where it should be.
It is impossible to guarantee victory. But you can maximize your chances: check the RTP level in your casino, get bonuses, play at stakes you can afford.
