Dungeons & Dragons: Fortress of Fortunes Slot Review

This alternate version of Dungeons and Dragons by IGT truly attempts to capture the spirit of the game on which it is based. You start off by choosing your explorer hero-Varick, Raelyn orTordek-who will then become one of the symbols on your reel.

This interaction is further encouraged once the free spins bonus is activated by the completion of a mini-game that involves battling monsters and dragons. The game consists of 5 reels and 20paylines, as is standard across this theme, however, there are no tumbling reels in this version.

You will not feel the loss, though, as the mini-game supplies a generous amount of free spins and multipliers to make up for it.

The Fortress free spins bonus is as close as you’re going to get to playing some version of the original Dungeons & Dragons in an online slots game.

It starts off when you land 3 or more of the dice scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. Your initial reward depends upon the number of scatters that landed: 3 scatters will give you 5 freespins; 4 scatters will give you 7 free spins and a 2x multiplier and 5 scatters will give you 10 spins and a 3x multiplier.

But before your free spins can commence, you will enter a 3×3 dungeon where you must choose to move up, down, left or right. Each new square you land on has a particular feature on it. This couldbe a higher multiplier, extra spins, stairs to the lower dungeon or a fight with a monster.

In the case of the monster, his strength is compared to yours. If yours is lower, you must roll the dice and hope that the number is higher than the difference between your strengths. If you win,you get to continue exploring the dungeon. If you lose, you will exit the dungeon and your free spins will commence.

In the final level of your quest, you must defeat a dragon whereupon you will earn a 4x multiplier.

During your free spins bonus, should you land 3 or more scatters, you will be rewarded with extra spins.

Dungeons & Dragons: Fortress of Fortunes has all the features of a typical online slots game: 20 paylines, 5 reels, and a 94.5% RTP.

There is no progressive jackpot but the free spin bonus combined with the mini-game will add a hefty amount to your pot.

The wild symbol is a green crystal ball eye. It is the most valuable symbol and should 5 of them land on an active payline, 2500x your line stake will be rewarded.
