Fortune City Slot Review
A tower crane swings in from the top right of the screen, its hook dangling the chunky orange Fortune City logo like a steel beam waiting to be hoisted into place, while a cartoon construction site stacks concrete floors into a stepped reel frame below. The silhouette is doing more than looking different, though: the leftmost reel carries a single symbol, the shortest in the game, and that shape quietly tilts everything towards the collect feature. Million Games has built this on an irregular skyscraper grid with 720 ways to win, running at 96.25% RTP and high volatility, with payouts capped at 8,000x the base bet. That’s modest territory next to the biggest hold and win titles around, including the studio’s own East West Wilds. Still, the theme runs deeper here than the paint job, and the build deserves a closer look.
Base Game & Features
The reels are laid out as a stepped tower block: one symbol on the leftmost reel, three on the next, and five across each of the remaining three reels. Winning combinations form by matching symbols on adjacent reels from left to right, and only the highest win per way is paid. If two ways would pay on the same combination, you get the better one, not both.
Your total bet covers all 720 ways, so there’s no line-by-line betting to keep track of. The paytable below shows the paying values as multiples of your total bet.
- Diamond: 10x for four, 100x for five
- 7: pays 8x on a four-match, rising to 50x on five
- Cherry: worth 6x at four, 15x at the full five
The gap between four and five symbols is steep. Five Diamonds return 100x the total bet, while four pay a tenth of that. The top of the paytable does most of its talking in the bonus round rather than the base game.
Every reel can also carry three special symbols, and each does a different job.
- Wild: substitutes for all regular symbols except Money Symbols, helping complete combinations across the ways
- X-WILD: appears on the centre reel during the base game and throws Banana Wilds onto surrounding positions
- Money Symbol: land three or more anywhere to trigger the Rooftop Riches Hold & Win feature
X-WILD
The X-WILD appears on the centre reel during the base game. When it triggers, it throws Banana Wilds onto surrounding reel positions, replacing whatever symbols were there and opening up several ways at once.
Because the centre reel carries five symbols, the positions it can convert sit in the fullest part of the grid. That’s where the 720 ways do their best work, so a single X-WILD can turn a quiet spin into a cluster of completed combinations.
Spin Controls
Bets are made in your selected currency, adjusted through the bet button or the bet menu on mobile. Quick spin can be toggled in the settings to speed things up, and pressing the spin button while the reels are moving stops them early. Both options depend on jurisdiction, so they may not appear everywhere.
Autoplay, where available, runs multiple rounds automatically, with optional stop limits including a loss threshold some jurisdictions require before it can be switched on. Win animations can be skipped by clicking the reel area while a win is displayed. Small conveniences, but they matter in a base game that spends long stretches waiting on Money Symbols.
Fortune City Bonus Features
Rooftop Riches Hold & Win
Three or more Money Symbols scattered anywhere on the reels open the feature. Once inside, only Money Symbols and empty positions appear on the grid. The round runs as follows.
- The feature starts with 3 respins
- Each new Money Symbol that lands sticks in place and resets the respin counter back to three
- Money Symbols reveal multipliers between 0.2x and 200x your bet
- Fill an entire reel with Money Symbols and a 2x multiplier applies to that reel’s total value
- Fill the entire grid to win the Jackpot
- The feature ends when no respins remain or the grid is completely filled
Played out step by step, the round is a slow squeeze. Each respin either lands a Money Symbol, which locks and buys three more attempts, or it doesn’t, and the counter ticks down. The drama sits in the resets: a grid that’s filling up isn’t just accumulating values, it’s multiplying them reel by reel.
The reel-fill bonus is where the arithmetic gets interesting. Filling a single reel doubles that reel’s total, and the leftmost reel, holding just one symbol, is the easiest to complete. Fill several reels early and the 2x multipliers start stacking on values that keep growing as the round continues.
The Jackpot is the whole-grid finish rather than a fixed prize ladder. With the top Money Symbol multiplier at 200x and reel bonuses stacked on top, a full grid is the round that chases the game’s ceiling.
Win Caps and the Round Limit
Feature winnings are subject to a maximum payout cap. When total winnings from a round exceed it, the round ends immediately and the cap amount is awarded instead. The cap sits at 8,000x the base bet, and it’s the hard limit on everything the round can build towards.
Our Honest Verdict
Overall Rating: 7.2/10
This is a game you play for one reason: the grid itself. The stepped tower shape isn’t just a pretty silhouette, it feeds straight into the collect round, where that one-symbol leftmost reel fills in a single landing and starts doubling before the round has even found its rhythm. Sitting through the base game feels like watching a build go up: slow, noisy in a cheerful way, and all in service of the topping-out ceremony.
The strength is that bonus round’s compounding. Reel-fill multipliers stacking on respin resets give it a proper second gear that most collect-and-wait features never find. The weakness is everything either side of it: outside the odd X-WILD, the base game is a corridor, and a five-of-a-kind that pays 100x is thin reward for the walk.
Patient players who enjoy a long build and a payout that arrives in one lump will feel at home here; anyone who wants action between bonuses won’t. Fortune City is honest about what it is, and it finishes the job with its hat on.
