Fortunium is a five reel, forty line slot with a retro science fiction style theme. The game is mobile optimized and is available across all devices, IOS and Android, as well as desktop PC’s. Fortunium is designed as a non progressive slot machine and its maximum pay out is 12500 coins. It has a Return to Player percentage of 96.47% and is a game of medium variance.
The game has two main characters, Maximillian and Victoria, with the bizarre mix of retro, science fiction, Victorian style clothing against the backdrop of a futuristic city. The game is action packed with the usual offer of exciting graphic and sounds and elaborately framed reels with almost a Star Wars theme. The steampunk genre, a mix of retro meeting future technology, became popular thanks to HG Wells and Jules Verne and books such as 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and The Time Machine.
The typical symbols are present, the ten, Jack, Queen, King and Ace being the lower value with the more interesting themed symbols being the higher value with the Wild and the Scatter with some symbols along the lines of weapons, airships and treasure chests. The playing card symbols are where the lower wins are made and the other symbols being where the bigger wins are found. The letter W is the Wild and, of course, substitutes all the other symbols except the scatter, which holds the highest value.
Fortunium offers players the opportunity to filter out all of the lower value symbols but will cost an additional 50% of the original stake, however, the win will be higher should it come through. There is also a Mystery Symbol feature where a mystery symbol in the form of a question mark, ? , lands on the reels and this could lead the player to any other symbol be it low, high or the Wild. There is also a Free Spin Bonus which can be triggered by a minimum of three or more scatter symbols appearing anywhere within the game. The green orb appearing on reels two, three or four can award the player up to ten free spins at the start of every bonus and every Scatter symbol that appears can lead to a free game. A full screen of Wilds can lead to a multiplier of eight hundred and even up to eight thousand hypothetically.
For Stormcraft Studios first release and partnership with Microgaming, Fortunium is a huge success. The theme makes the game a little more interesting mixing retro with futuristic. Fortunium is definitely worth checking out.
