Fortunium slot review (MicroGaming)

Fortunium is an online slot released by Microgaming

This Steam Punk video slot was developed by Stormcraft Studios, the game studio responsible for some of Microgaming’s most significant successes: Mega Moolah and Immortal Romance.

Fortunium is a bad-ass slot, featuring cool, distinguished men with moustaches and even cooler, gorgeous ladies.

Although Fortunium isn’t very complicated, it does have some interesting features. There are stacked mystery symbols that might lead to big payouts, and there is an option to place an extra bet. With this so-called Win Booster, you “buy” better odds at high payouts. There’s also a free spins bonus, giving you even more mystery symbols with every spin.

Fortunium’s 96.47% payout rate is also impressive.

In short: plenty of reasons to subject this Fortunium slot to an extensive SuperBigWin test.

Fortunium gameplay and features

The game is played on a playing field of 5 symbols, with 4 rows. There are 40 fixed paylines, so you play each spin with a fixed amount of money.

The betting range is set between $€ 0.10 and $€ 125 per spin. That is if you haven’t activated the Win Booster. If you choose to enable it, your bet will increase by 50%.

Win Booster

This game’s reels have stacked mystery symbols. These symbols can contain any of the game’s symbols, except for the scatters. If you activate the Win Booster, only the premium symbols remain active, leading to substantially better odds at big prizes.

Symbols and payouts

The slot’s highest paying symbols are the two main characters, Victoria and Maximillian. They yield 8 x the total bet. The other, beautifully designed, premium symbols are a jewellery box, a zeppelin and an ingenious-looking pistol. These symbols are worth between 4 x and 6 x the bet with a five-of-a-kind.

The card symbols hearts, spades, diamonds and clubs pay between 1.20 x and 2 x the bet for every five of the same.

Free spins bonus

You unlock the lucrative free spins bonus with three or more scatters.

During the free spins, at least one reel permanently consists of a fully stacked mystery symbol. The more scatters have activated the bonus, the more stacked mystery symbols. With three scatters, you get one reel, spinning four scatters awards you two reels, and with five scatters, you hit the main prize: three full reels of mystery symbols at every spin.

You always start with 10 free spins. Moreover, every scatter you spin rewards you one extra free spin.

Our verdict on the Fortunium slot

Microgaming’s Fortunium is a very successful release. Graphically, it’s a feast for the eyes, with all those Steam Punk machines, futuristic backgrounds and beautifully dressed main characters.

We also enjoyed the bonus feature very much: the mystery symbols enable big payouts, especially if you’ve activated the Win Booster. With the maximum wager, it’s possible to win up to $€ 100,000 in a single spin.

Lastly, we’d like to mention the excellent theoretical 96.49% payout rate.

In short: a splendid, very entertaining slot, with plenty of super big win potential.
