Online Slot Empire Fortune by Yggdrasil

Free Spins

One of the main special features of the slot is a bonus round that involves free spins. To activate a free spins series, you need to collect a certain number of Scatter symbols on the screen. Depending on the number of icons with a jester, you can get:

• 10 free spins with an extra x2 multiplier for winning combinations for 3 symbols
• 20 free spins with x4 multiplier for 4 jesters
• 30 free spins with x10 multiplier for 5

Free spins involve the same bet that was active for the spin that triggered this feature. If the bet on a line in the main game was 0.01 credit, it won't change for the bonus round. However, the sum displayed in the Cash Bet section will not be debited for a spin.

During free spins, additional multipliers act as follows: when a combination lines up, the payout is calculated based on the factors and is then multiplied by 2, 4 or 10 depending on the prize received for symbols of jesters. So, by lining up 5 red stones in a series of 30 free spins with a x10 multiplier, you will get 25,000 credits with a coin value of 1 credit.

Bonus Game and Jackpot

To launch a bonus round with a jackpot, you need to collect 3, 4 or 5 bonus symbols on the reels. In this case, you will see an additional screen with a pyramid consisting of three round discs placed on top of each other.

Game Features 

During the main game (reel-spins that require credit investments), you have some advantages. They allow you to increase the probability of a combination that activates the features of the Empire Fortune slot.

When at least two Faberge eggs or two jesters occur on the reels, these reels get "fixed" for the next spin. Visually, three symbols vertically get surrounded by a golden frame. During the next spin, these reels don't move. This increases the probability of a combination of three or more special icons.

You can turn off the function of "fixing" the reels. To do this, just change the bet per line. The golden frame will disappear and all 5 reels will participate in the next spin.

How to play the Empire Fortune slot

By loading the demo version of the Empire Fortune slot by Yggdrasil on our website, you will be able to play Empire Fortune for free using credits. Virtual currency is added to your balance when the application loads and by default is 10,000. This amount is shown in the Balance section to the right of the control panel below the game screen.

Before activating a reelspin, get familiar with the options and buttons displayed on the game console. For convenience, let's look at the control panel from left to right:

1. The Lines bar displays the number of paylines involved in the game. This is a fixed value that is always 20
2. Coin Value shows the value of a coin. The default bet per line is 1 coin. To regulate the bet on a line, you need to specify how many credits are assigned to a coin. A stake on a line ranges between 0.01 and 5 credits
3. Cash Bet — a bar that indicates the total bet (cost of a spin). The number is generated by multiplying the Coin Value by the number of paylines
4. The Max Bet button sets the highest bet per line and the maximum value of a coin
5. A button with a circular arrow starts a spin of reels
6. The button depicting an arrow and triangle activates a series of automatic spins. Clicking the button opens a pop-up list where you can select the number of auto spins (from 10 to 1,000) or spin the reels until hitting the button again (stop at your request)
7. The Win section shows the prize received for a successful spin (a spin that resulted in a combination of symbols lining up on the reels)

Besides the main console, the Empire Fortune slot has an additional pop-up panel with icons. Using the buttons in the list, you can:

• Look through the payout table after clicking the button with the letter "i"
• Configure extra settings by clicking the icon of a gear — the button opens another window with options of sound, graphics and additional features
• Learn the slot description and game rules in the manual that opens by clicking the icon §
• Turn the sound on and off by clicking the speaker

The additional panel opens and closes with a cross in a red circle above the control panel on the left.

Symbols and prizes of the Empire Fortune slot demo version

Since Empire Fortune slot machine is themed to jewels, all the symbols involved in the gameplay correspond to the chosen style. The highest paying symbols of the slot are special icons that do not have their own value but activate the game advantages. They include:

1. Scatter — the picture of a jester. This symbol can appear on any reel in any box of the game screen. You need to collect 3, 4 or 5 jesters to be awarded a series of free spins. Free spins are especially advantageous as they can produce large payouts
2. Bonus symbol — a Faberge egg saying Bonus. This icon can also appear on any reel and will count regardless of its position if 3, 4 or 5 of them come up on the screen. The egg activates the bonus game where you can win the jackpot and other valuable prizes

In addition to special symbols, there are 8 icons of different values. Depending on payouts for combinations of such symbols, they can be divided into:

1. Low-paying icons depicting card suits:
   1. Diamonds award you 12, 60 and 20 times your line bet for 3, 4 and 5 symbols in a row on one payline
   2. Clubs pay 15, 79 and 300 times your line bet
   3. Spades — 20, 100 and 400
   4. Hearts — 25, 125 and 500
2. High-paying pictures are precious stones:
   1. A blue stone's line bet multipliers are 35, 200 and 1,000
   2. Green – 40, 250 and 1,500
   3. Purple – 45, 300 and 2,000
   4. Red – 50, 350 and 2,500

Dividing symbols into low-paying and high-paying is due to the cost of the most frequent combinations. Since three in a row is the most likely combination of symbols, experienced users pay attention to what kind of prize these combos generate. Low-paying icons do not win back or barely cover the cost of a spin. High-paying symbols award you with prizes that significantly exceed the total bet.
