Axe of Fortune Slot Review
Don’t trust AI when doing research for an article. I asked Google Bard what the most expensive guitar is, and it mentioned Brad Paisley’s Fender Telecaster, which is apparently adorned with 3,123 diamonds. However, I scoured Google and couldn’t find a link to the fabled axe.
The truth – based on multiple, reputable websites – is that the most expensive guitar is Kurt Cobain’s 1959 Martin D-18E acoustic-electric guitar; the one he used in the MTV Unplugged session at Sony Music Studios on 18 November 1993. 🎸💰
Not only is this the world’s most expensive guitar – it was sold for an eye-watering $6,010,000 – but it’s also the world’s most expensive piece of rock memorabilia. 🥁🎷🎻🪗
And who is the lucky sod who owns this piece of history? None other than Peter Freedman, founder of RØDE Microphones. 🎤 I guess with all the rappers and rock stars dropping them, it’s good for business!
Sadly, the next game has nothing to do with rock or music but it does have some axes. Not the type you can pluck or play chords on, but ones you can throw. I’ll bet Pete Townshend would’ve approved. 💥
This is Axe of Fortune slot from Belatra Games.
Gameplay
Snow is gently falling on the 5x3-reel grid of Axe of Fortune slot. Perched to the left is one of Odin’s ravens, but I have to wonder how the poor critter’s ass isn’t being burnt to a crisp by the raging fire beneath it.
Mobile players will joyfully sacrifice to the gods when they see what the game looks like on a smaller device.
The raven is our Wild – it replaces all symbols – and the high-paying symbols are warriors, Yggdrasil (the sacred tree of Norse mythology), a shield, and a tankard of ale. Runes stand in for our low-paying symbols.
The game offers 10 paylines, an RTP of 95.94%, and a high volatility rate. Mercifully, there’s a max multiplier of 10,100x and a top payout of $252,500. You could buy a fleet of Viking boats with that kinda wampum!
Features
BONUS ROUND:
The Bonus Axe round can be triggered by landing 3 or more axe Scatters simultaneously. You’ll wanna aim for 5 triggering Scatters, though, as this will take you to the Golden Axes round, where your win potential is higher.
The action takes place on a new screen where you’ll see 4 targets set in the snow against a burnished sky. Your job is to throw axes at the targets (click on a target to initiate a throw) and you’ll see your score reflected in the circles above.
The possible scores you can wring out of a target range from 0 to 9. The round ends when you’ve thrown all of your axes – some will hit and some will miss. The number you score in the end is the multiplier that’s applied to your bet. And this can mean some prolific payouts!
TOURNAMENT:
Axe of Fortune slot, specifically the Golden Axes round, forms part of a tournament that Belatra has going on.
It offers a bunch of cash prizes –up to €1,000 (the euro is the currency the tourney is calculated on) – and all you have to do is bet the prescribed minimum amount.
Winnings earn you points, and the more points you get, the higher on the leaderboard you’ll be. Those players in the top tier when the tournament ends will be awarded their ka-ching.
Performance
I put Axe of Fortune slot through its paces across hundreds of rounds. Literally. In all that time, there wasn’t one instance where the game froze or exhibited any other technical gremlins.
Maximum Win
The setting for Axe of Fortune slot might be cold, but it warms the cockles of my heart to see that you can clinch a payout of $252,500 off the back of a spectacular 10,100x multiplier.
Betting starts at $0.10 and is capped at $25.
Conclusion
Hmmm… there’s not much to this game. A Bonus round is all you get, but there is that saucy Tournament that you can participate in, which sweetens the deal.
Axe of Fortune slot is a good option for mobile players and those of you who don’t mind a highly volatile game but aren’t into complex features.
