The Fortunium slots game can be found at Microgaming casinos. Microgaming as a standard now publish the slots house edge information of all their games at any online casino that holds a UKGC license (this is a requirement for all UKGC licensed casinos. As such we can say that the House Edge of Fortunium is 3.53%. When playing at any venue that does not hold a UKGC license and does not specifically publish the Return to Player information for their game, this information should be used as a guideline only as we cannot confirm whether or not this game is configurable.
The distant future and space exploration has left a boundary of lawlessness similar to the old West.
Fortunium is a 5 reel game with each reel 5 symbols high. It has 40 paylines and you can bet up to 25 coins per payline.
The ‘W’ symbol is Wild.
There are three bonus features when playing Fortunium. The first bonus feature is active on every spin. There is a ‘?’ symbol stacked on each reel. Whenever you receive some of the ? symbol at the end of the spin all ? symbols in view will transform into the same randomly selected symbol from the paytable.
The second bonus feature can be activated by the player before any spin. At the bottom left of the reels is a green button labelled ‘Win Booster’. Clicking this button will result in your overall spin bet being increased by 50%. While this feature is on all ? symbols will transform into only W Wild symbols or other high paying symbols.
The third bonus feature is triggered when you receive three or more of the ‘Green Button’ scatter symbol anywhere on the reels. When this happens you will be awarded 10 free spins. During the free spins reels 2, 3 and 4 may only contain ? symbols. The number of reels populated solely by ? symbols depends on whether 3, 4 or 5 Green Button scatter symbols triggered the free spins. Also each Green Button scatter symbol you receive during the free spins awards an additional free spin.
Conclusion
Fortunium isn’t Microgaming’s strongest release. While it is undeniable visually attractive and clocks in at around an average House Edge for modern day slots release, the bonus features are relatively mundane landing squarely in the ‘we’ve all seen it before’ category. This isn’t a bad game, but neither is it one that’s likely to gain significant footing in the market.
