Fortuna is a Microgaming classic slot machine, the theme used in it being built around the goddess of fortune, from the Roman pantheon. Her name is Fortuna, and she is present in the background picture, staring at you from behind the logo. She is the goddess of luck, though whether the luck is bad or good is up to her. The Romans dedicated temples to her, while modern humans created this slot machine.
You get as many lines as possible out of this 3 reel game, 5 of them receiving bets and displaying symbols for you. You’re even going to find a wild symbol among them, a basic feature that is also tasked with awarding the $30,000 top prize.
Features of Fortuna
One feature was used in the creation of Fortuna, a wild symbol that is often used for such classic slot machines. It’s a simple wild, no multipliers were added to it in this case, and it will be able to offer big prizes or help you create winning combinations with smaller ones, depending on how many of these special symbols are present on the payline.
Ideally, you need the three wilds together on the same line, preferably the 5th one, as that will give you the top jackpot at its highest value of 6,000 coins. The other lines can offer as little as 1,000 coins for the same three symbols.
There is also the possibility of getting the wild with just one or two symbols on the same line, in which case they will take the rest of the symbol(s) from that line and will form a combo with them, by taking the same role.
Betting options and jackpots
There is nothing special about the betting system, which works the same way it does in 3 line slot machines. The only thing that changes is the number of coins that have to be used, since 5 lines need to be covered instead of 3. The 1 to 5 coins that can be used by the bet are worth between $0.25 and $5 each one, for a total bet of up to $25.
As for the prizes you can take home, the same combo of wilds will award different payouts for different lines that they can land on. The game tries to reward players that use all five coins, by increasing the potential payout for each additional line that they unlock. The first line offers only about 1,000 coins, but the fifth one reaches a value of 6,000 coins ($30,000).
Design and symbols
Fortuna herself watches you from behind the game area, her light blue eyes showing, but not much else. The logo is a mix of the Fortuna logo and a cornucopia that was integrated into a water fountain. The game does have a bit of a Roman feel to it, using the purple color whenever possible, but for the most part you wouldn’t necessarily guess that this is the theme chosen for it.
Symbols: Fortuna Logo (6,000 coins, wild), Purple 7 (300 coins), Triple Bar (100 coins), Double Bar (50 coins), One Bar (20 coins) and Cherry (10 coins).
Is It Worth Playing?
Lady Luck is on your side in this game, or at least you can hope that when you get started playing it. Besides the theme choice, in every other way it’s a very common type of slot machine, so chances are you know already what you’re getting yourself into.
This Fortuna slot is offered by all online casinos with Microgaming software, playable either in practice or in real money mode.
