Betsoft has come up with a nice context for a somewhat clever concept that’s been tried and tested on occasions before. The 3×3 grid is set inside a tower that reminds us of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, although this tower is as straight as an arrow. It also has no end, as each consecutive non-winning base game spin takes you up one story.
This, of course, increases the win multiplier progressively, and you start all over again in the “endless cycle” when you finally land a winner. The concept becomes a lot more lucrative in the bonus round, as nothing resets on winning spins. Since the sky is literally the limit (as in, there is no limit), you can look forward to astronomical multipliers if you’re on a serious losing streak.
Thecrimson banner Wildsteps in for all regular pay symbols to help you form winning combos, but it holds no value of its own. The premium symbols pay between 0.66 and 10x your stake, but most of the time any win will be subject to a multiplier boost.
The reason for this is the fact that you’ll move one step up the tower forevery non-winning spin. Each step up increases thewin multiplier by +1, and there is no upper limit. Whenever you land a winning combo, you are taken back to the bottom of the tower and the multiplier resets to x1 again.
You trigger the Bonus Round when you land3 sun scattersanywhere in view on the same spin, and this awards10 free spins. The big difference is that the tower climb feature doesn’t reset when you win, and neither does the multiplier. You can retrigger the bonus round by landing 3 scatters on the same free spin.
Non-UK players can take advantage of theBonus Buy feature(if applicable in your jurisdiction), and this will set you back50xyour stake. You will start with a x2 multiplier position, and your current base game multiplier position will resume after the bonus round is finished.
You get to see us climbing the multiplier tower a few times in the base game, before we purchase the bonus round at 1:13 into the 2 and a half minute highlights video. We get all the way up to the starry sky towards the end, and you can see for yourself how we fared by hitting the play button below.
Betsoft has come up with a clever concept in Tower of Fortuna, although similar things have been tried before (see below). The base game is balanced out by the fact that every losing spin builds the multiplier until you finally win. Of course, most of the symbol values are mediocre at best, and does not pay much without multiplier action on a3x3 grid with only 5 paylines.
The volatility is a casual medium, meaning that this game clearly aims for a broad appeal instead of catering to hardcore gamblers. This is also reflected in the3,200xpotential, which is most likely to be cracked in the bonus round. You would need 63 consecutive losing spins to achieve the necessaryx64 multiplierthat could land you the max win on a single spin, but it’s more likely to come from several larger payouts.
