AvatarUX released Depths of Fortune on July 31. The slot takes you on a deep-sea adventure with a cascade mechanic.

This review will reveal the game setup and bonus features.

Game Setup 

When you open the slot, you will notice 5 reels and 4 rows. You can land winning combinations on 16807 paylines on an RTP of 96%.

To get going, you must place a minimum bet of 0.10 or a maximum bet of 100 for a shot at the maximum win. The maximum win is 20000x played on medium volatility. 

There are 10 paying symbols. The low pays are 10 to A card ranks while the high pays are 5 character symbols. 

The low pays reward 0.5x t 1x for landing 5 matching symbols while the high pays reward 2x to 5x for landing 5 matching symbols. 

You may also land wilds which replace all regular paying symbols. The cascade mechanic removes winning symbols and drops symbols to fill the gaps for a chance to win again. 

Bonus Features 

Loaded reel

The Loaded Reel next to the main reel has a top cell called the Trigger Zone. During a spin or cascade, reward symbols and blank spaces move from top to bottom on the Loaded Reel. 

A reward symbol that lands in the Trigger Zone activates and has four rewards:

• Trigger zone expansion 1 position downwards.

• Grid expansion where all reels expand 3 positions upwards.

• Multiplier on the reward is applied to the on-screen win.

• Lower pay upgrade where 5 low pay symbols are randomly upgraded to high pay symbols.

• Wilds and Colossal wilds are added to the reels. 

Hold & win 

Landing at least 5 Coin symbols activates the Bonus game. Only blanks, Coins, and rewards are triggered during the round by the Loaded Reel. 

When Coins land, they cascade down to the lowest position and remain on reels between spins holding values of 500x to 1000x.

The round starts with 3 lives which are equivalent to 3 spins. 

When a new Coin lands, the lives reset to 3. On each spin, the Loaded Reel lands new rewards and shifts upward on every cascade. 

The rewards are:

• Coin and Colossal Coin

• Coin Upgrade

• Extra Lives

• Collect 

• Collect and Multiply 

• Grid expansion 

• Trigger Zone expansion
