Tower Of Fortuna

Tower Of Fortuna Slot Review

A plump cherub hovers at the edge of a sunlit Greek valley, trumpet in hand, holding a pennant over a stone tower that climbs through turquoise mountains towards a ruined temple. Betsoft‘s Tower Of Fortuna takes that classical image of fortune’s wheel and turns it into a ladder: every losing spin pushes you one level higher, and every win sends you back to the bottom.

It’s a bold idea for a game built on just 3 reels and 5 fixed paylines, running at 96.09% RTP. The tower multiplier that drives everything caps out at 100x. The result sits somewhere between a classic three-reeler and a patient, escalating chase, closer in spirit to Gold Tiger Ascent and Trinity Reels than to anything sprawling elsewhere in the Betsoft catalogue.

The Base Game and the Tower

Tower Of Fortuna is a 3 reel slot with 5 fixed paylines, paying left to right. Coinciding wins on different lines combine, and only the highest win per line counts. On a grid this small, that’s the entire structure – and it leaves the tower to do the interesting work.

The tower multiplier starts at 1x. Every spin that doesn’t win climbs you one level and adds 1x to the multiplier, up to a maximum of 100x. The next winning combination pays at whatever multiplier you’ve reached, whatever symbols are involved.

Once that win is paid, both the multiplier and your position reset to the start. The prize doesn’t change; the climb changes the prize. The multiplier you’ve built applies to the whole payout, not just the premium symbols, so a cheap line high up the tower can outpay a premium line at the bottom.

Changing your bet also resets the tower, though progress is saved separately for each bet level. Return to a stake you’ve left behind and the climb picks up where it left off, which gives the game a memory most three-reelers don’t have.

The wild is a red scroll that stands in for every symbol except the scatter, and it only ever lands on the middle reel. It’s a small help on a small grid, and it’s the only symbol assistance the base game offers. The scatter is the golden sun, which pays nothing on its own – its entire job is to unlock free spins.

The cherub with the trumpet keeps track of proceedings, his banner displaying the current multiplier as it rises and falls. He’s the game’s progress bar as much as its decoration, and he’s on screen for every spin.

Symbol Values

Three-of-a-kind is the only combination the paytable prices, and every value below is a multiple of the total bet.

• Moon – 10x
• Head/Bust – 4x
• Lion – 3.3333x
• Eagle – 1.6667x
• Bull, A – 0.6667x each
• K, Q, J – 0.3333x each

It’s a steep ladder from top to bottom, and with only 3 reels in play, every win is a three-of-a-kind. The tower multiplier is what turns those modest line pays into something worth climbing for.

A long enough climb makes even the cheapest symbols pay like premium ones. Three Queens high up the tower outpay a bare Moon line, which is the whole argument for sitting through the lean stretches. Payouts scale with the selected bet throughout.

Fortuna’s Free Spins

Fortuna’s Free Spins is the one bonus round in the game, and it bends the tower rules in your favour. The round works like this:

• Landing 3 golden sun scatters anywhere on the grid at the same time starts the round with 10 free spins
• The tower multiplier begins at 2x instead of 1x
• The climb works as normal, but the multiplier never resets during the round – even on winning spins
• 3 more scatters appearing together add further free spins, but the round can only retrigger once
• After that single retrigger, the scatter stops appearing entirely
• All spins play at the bet of the triggering spin

The non-resetting multiplier is the point of the whole round. In the base game a win is a reset; here it’s just a payout, and the climb continues from wherever it stood. Ten spins with a multiplier that only ever grows can build a serious head of steam.

The single retrigger is a firm ceiling on that growth. Once it’s been used, the scatters vanish from the reel set altogether, so every round has a defined end rather than an open-ended run. A retrigger landing early in the round stretches the ceiling further than one landing late, since more spins remain to carry the climb.

When the round ends, the tower multiplier drops back to 1x – unless the free spins were bought, in which case something different happens, which brings us to the buy feature.

Buy In Feature

The BUY BONUS button skips the scatter wait entirely. The terms are simple:

• The purchase costs 9.00
• It buys 10 free spins beginning at a 2x tower multiplier
• When the round ends, the tower multiplier returns to the position you left rather than resetting to 1x

That last point is the one real difference between the bought and the triggered round. On a game whose whole identity is the climb, a purchased round preserves your base-game progress instead of wiping it, which makes the buy a continuation of the tower rather than an escape from it.

The triggered round and the bought round are otherwise identical: same spin count, same 2x start, same single retrigger. Buy from the bottom of the tower and you’re buying ten spins; buy from halfway up and you’re buying them at a discount to the climb you’d otherwise redo.

Our Honest Verdict

Overall Rating: 7.2/10

This is a game you play for one reason: to see how far up the tower you can get before the cherub blows his trumpet and pays you back down. On 3 reels with 5 lines, there’s genuinely nothing else to do but watch the climb, and that’s either the whole appeal or none of it.

The strongest idea here is the free spins round keeping the multiplier through every win – it turns ten spins into a genuine escalation rather than ten resets. The weakest is the pace: the tower only grows on losing spins, and the line pays are thin enough that the wait between scatters is long.

It’s a good fit for classic-slot players who enjoy a slow, mounting build and don’t need action every few spins. Anyone who wants frequent bonuses or constant movement will find the valley quiet. Fortune favours the patient here – and the patient are exactly who it’s for.

Tower Of Fortuna FAQs

  Tower Of Fortuna runs at 96.09% RTP.
• How many paylines does Tower Of Fortuna have?

  Tower Of Fortuna has 5 fixed paylines across its 3 reels, with wins paying left to right and only the highest win per line counting.
• How high can the tower multiplier go?

  Every spin without a win climbs you one level of the tower and increases the multiplier by 1x, up to a maximum of 100x. The next win pays at that multiplier, then resets the tower to 1x. Changing your bet wipes the climb as well, though each bet level remembers its own progress.
• How do you trigger free spins in Tower Of Fortuna?

  You need 3 golden sun scatters on the grid at the same time, in any position. That awards 10 free spins starting at a 2x tower multiplier that doesn’t reset on winning spins, and the round can retrigger once before scatters stop appearing.
• Can you buy the bonus on Tower Of Fortuna?

  Yes. The Buy In Feature costs 9.00 and buys 10 free spins starting at a 2x multiplier. Unlike a triggered round, a purchased one returns you to your last tower multiplier position when it ends rather than resetting to 1x.
• Where does the wild appear in Tower Of Fortuna?

  Only on the second reel. The wild is a red scroll that stands in for every symbol except the scatter, so it can’t help trigger free spins.
• Who makes Tower Of Fortuna?

  Tower Of Fortuna is made by Betsoft, and its release date is 30 September 2021.
