Tower of Fortuna Slot Review

Ancient civilizations began with laws, culture and protecting their people. This centred around a common language and usually a religion of some kind. In my mind, I had a fascination explosion as to how they achieved it all and how they communicated, especially over long distances. Today we have instant access and super fast speed to contact anyone and to find out about literally anything. The scary part of this is that it is in the palms of our hands—every day.

Take a stroll through ancient Rome in its former glory. This magnificent city, founded by two brothers and subsequently named after the one brother, Romulus, has for many years been a tourist attraction and will be so for many years to come too. However, ancient Rome today is underground because, over the hundreds of years, new buildings and the new Rome have been built upon those original buildings, which brings us to the Tower of Fortuna by Betsoft Gaming. The Centre stage is an endless tower reaching for the stars. The gameplay keeps moving you further up the tower as you go.

So much belongs to the distant past. The vastness of what we are currently able to experience today, and it is vast, is perhaps a drop in the ocean of the present and future compared to what has gone before us. Admiration.

Game Play

You're playing this game on 3x3 reels, and there are five active lines. You need three matching symbols occupying an entire line to get you paid. The game's imagery depicts ancient Rome in all of its splendour. Even though she rarely throws, Fortuna is the star of the slot. The reels are set against ancient Roman temples, undulating hills, mountains, and woods. There are symbols between the marble columns in the three-level online slot machine. The cards from Jack to Ace are low-value symbols. The Bull, Lion, Eagle, Jupiter, Crimson Flag, Moon, and Sun scatter are high-value symbols.
If you can't win that round, 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. Then, the winner of that round will be multiplied by the amount you've collected so far, and then the multiplier resets to 1x.
The Crimson Flag will 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. It would help if all three were 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 ten spins.

Features

Betsoft has created a wonderful setting for a great premise that has been tried and proven in previous times. The 3x3 grid is housed within a structure that resembles the Leaning Tower of Pisa, although this tower is perfectly straight. It also has no end since each non-winning basic game spin advances you one storey.
This, of course, gradually increases the win multiplier, and when you eventually land a winner, the "endless cycle" begins all over again. Nothing resets on winning spins in the bonus round, making the idea even more profitable. If you're on a losing run, you may expect astronomical multipliers because the sky is the limit (as in, there is no limit).
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 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 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.
Performance

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 unique features to make it 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.
Although similar concepts have been explored previously, Betsoft has developed a fascinating concept in Tower of Fortuna. The fact that every lost spin boosts the multiplier until you ultimately win balances out the main game. Of course, most of the symbol values are subpar at best, and without multiplier action on a 3x3 grid with only five paylines
, they don't pay much.
This game tries for a broad audience rather than serious gamblers since the volatility is a casual medium. The 3,200x potential, which is most likely to be cracked in the bonus round, also reflects this. You'd need 63 consecutive losing spins to get the x64 multiplier needed to win the maximum amount on a single spin, but it's more likely to come from numerous smaller payouts.

Max Coin

Maximum win of 3,200.

Conclusion

Ancient architecture, art, beliefs, customs, kingdoms, legends, mysteries, manuscripts, rituals, settlements, traditions, villages, wonders ... and the list go on. So much to know. So much to learn about. So much to absorb. Give it all a thought whilst you spin these reels and ascend the tower. Reach for the stars.
