Fortunium Introduction
Fortunium was announced earlier this year during the ICE conference in London with Microgaming making quite a fuzz about it. Turns out however it’s not actually a Microgaming production, but the works of a company called Stormcraft Studios. Now, curious as we are we tried to find some information about this mysterious studio – something that turned out to be easier said than done.
In any case, Fortunium is a 5-reel, 5-row game with 40 paylines that can be played from €0.10 to €125. Just like NetEnt’s Steam Tower, this slot has a steampunk theme, and centers around two characters – Victoria the explorer and Maximillian the inventor (not that anyone will care).
Fortunium Symbols
The game includes 5 high paying symbols and 4 low value symbols. The low symbols are represented by hearts, spades, clubs and diamonds while the premiums are represented by Victoria symbols, Maximilian symbols, chests, zeppelins and nerf guns. The two top paying symbols are stacked full reels high and both pays 8x for 5 of a kind.
The wild symbol does what wild symbols do and are worth 20x for 5 across a payline. The Scatter symbol comes in the form of a green glass sphere and returns 100x in case you would manage to land 5 of them.
Fortunium Mystery Symbols & Win Booster Features
The Mystery symbols feature activates when Mystery symbols (question marks) lands on the reels. It will then reveal a randomly chosen symbol which can be any symbo except the Scatter. To the left of the reelset is the Win Booster button. Press this one and all low value symbols will be filtered when the Mystery feature activates which means only premiums and wilds will trigger. This feature costs a 50% increase in your bet size (€1 bet turns to €1.50).
Fortunium Free Spins
The free spins game comes into play when 3 or more scatters land anywhere across the reels and awards 10 free spins. Every scatter that land during the bonus will award an additional free spin. Further – 3, 4 or 5 scatters will give the player 1, 2 or 3 Mystery reels on each spin respectively. The Mystery reels contain premiums and wilds only which means you can get 3 full wild reels on every spin.
