A New Steam Punk Online Slot From Microgaming

July 2, 2018

The latest new video slot to go live at Microgaming online casinos like 7 Sultans, Royal Vegas and Platinum Play is Fortunium. The slot machine has been created exclusively for Microgaming by Stormcraft Studios and was first showcased in February 2018 during the ICE Expo. Fortunium has been drawing high traffic across both desktop and mobile gaming platforms.

The slot game has a steampunk theme that comes out through the elaborate artwork, especially in the main symbols of Victoria and Maximilian. This pair is the founder of Fortunium, an opulent city with golden towers that can be seen rising in the background to the reels. The structure of the reels has drawn a lot of attention. It has the usual five reels but with five rows of symbols and 40 fixed paylines.

Victoria and Maximillian appear as full length figures expanded over five rows. Their being dressed in period costume is a highlight of the artwork. All other symbols are stacked over two rows. The high paying symbols are Victoria, Maximillian, treasure chest, airship, and ray gun. The low symbols are the playing card suits. The W logo is the wild symbol. It also awards the highest line payouts. The slot machine also has Mystery Symbols, represented by Question Marks. These appear super stacked on the reels. After each spin, all the Mystery Symbols on the reels will change to the same randomly chosen regular symbol.

The ornately set green emerald is the scatter symbol. Two or more scatter symbols anywhere on the reels award payouts multiplied by the total bet. Three or more scatter symbols trigger 10 free spins. During the free spins feature, Mystery Reels can appear on reels 2, 3 and 4. The number of mystery reels depends on the number of scatter symbols in the triggering spin. These reels will have only Mystery Symbols. For every scatter symbol that appears on the reels during the feature you will get one additional free spin. Fortunium video slot has another gaming feature called Win Booster. You will have to wager an additional amount equal to 50% of the normal total bet. The payouts will be made on the basis of the normal line and total bets. But the Mystery Symbols will change only into the high paying symbols and wild symbol.

Going by custom, the next new Microgaming slot should be released this week. No announcement has been made, but Cash of Kingdoms was showcased along with Fortunium. Maybe that will be released now.
