Flame of Fortune Slot Machine

Flame of Fortune is a Barcrest video slot released in 2016, offering gamblers a 5x3 playing field with 10 fixed paylines. Players can wager between $0.10 up to $500 per spin, which is a wide range of choices that should please all ends of the gambling spectrum. The game has several special features, including Cascading Reels, a Flame of Fortune Wheel, as well as Wheels of Fate and Super Wheels of Fate, which are a part of Big Bet spins.

Despite its name, Flame of Fortune doesn't take place in a relatively pleasant place where you're enjoying your winnings – instead, the backdrop is an underground cavern of some sort, with red stone all over and a fiery pit beneath the reels. The reels themselves are semi-translucent, with a golden trim along their edges. The user interface shows everything quite clearly, with the one exception being the settings menu, which is somewhat hidden away, but it can only turn sounds on or off.

Symbols include a mixture of playing card icons: 10, J, Q, K and A, alongside several symbols representing various aspects of human characters, like Justice, Faith, Wisdom and Strength, all with their own unique artwork. A beautiful white dove acts as a Wild and replaces all symbols for bets above two coins. For bets below two coins, it substitutes for all icons except 10, J, Q, K and A.

The Fortune Drop special feature is activated when at least one symbol with a golden background is in every reel on the playing field. The occurrence of these icons is random. When the feature is activated, it turns the regular 5x3 reels into a larger 5x5 playing field, in which your goal is to connect three, four or five of the same symbol horizontally or vertically. This awards a win, and adds to the Fortune Drop total. The winning combination is then removed from the reels, and existing symbols fall in their place, while new icons appear on top of the old ones. Different symbols are available during this special feature – the Moon, the Earth, the Stars and the Sun. After Fortune Drop is finished, you are given a choice to take the wins you've collected, or to try your luck at the Flame of Fortune wheel spin feature.

Gameplay and Features

The Flame of Fortune Wheel spin will reward you with an improved Fortune Drop special feature, which can include additional bonuses such as: multiple Fortune Drop games, symbol multipliers added to the reels as well as Wild symbols.

Pressing the Big Bet button above the spin button on the reels, players can bet $20, $30 or $50 per spin to have five spins with a Wheel of Fate, eight spins with a Wheel of Fate, or eight spins with a Super Wheel of Fate respectively. Wheels of Fate can award multiple golden reels, a Wild reel, or expanding Wilds. Super Wheels of Fate offer the same thing, with just bigger offerings.

The largest jackpot you can expect from the game is 500x your wager. The game is a medium volatility offering, with a flexible RTP ranging from 93.64% up to 98% depending on your wager, betting strategy, and luck.
