DEPTHS OF FORTUNE: OVERVIEW
Last Updated: March 14, 2025Written by Stephen Cummings
AvatarUX are one of the most exciting lesser known developers creating slot games for the UK market. One of their more known slots is Depths of Fortune thanks to its Hold and Win mode. Nobody within the SlotsHawk team had ever played Depths of Fortune before, until now!
This Depths of Fortune slot review will give you all of the available information you need so that you can decide whether you would like to play Depths of Fortune for real money.
DEPTHS OF FORTUNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS
The SlotsHawk team play Depths of Fortune for real money at Casumo Casino over on our YouTube account which we recommend watching if you want to get more of a feel for the slot. We made bets of 40p per spin (minimum bet is 10p per spin and max bet is £5 per spin), but we did not hit many wins.
The Loaded Reel feature did not do much for us unfortunately, and we spent the majority of our time spinning the reels without any success at all. Hitting five or more coin symbols on the reels will trigger the bonus game, and we expect that that is where the majority of the big wins occur.
We feel like Depths of Fortune would be better suited to having a low or high variance level, because with it being at medium, there just isn’t enough wins to keep things interesting, and the wins that do occur are not very big.
Overall, we finished our 10 minute session with a loss of a little over £35.
DEPTHS OF FORTUNE FEATURES
There are several features in Depths of Fortune, albeit they are rather unusual ones which do not have high trigger rates. Nevertheless, we have listed them all for you below with info on each included.
LOADED REEL
Located on the left side of the main reels, the Loaded Reel works with the cascading reels and can contain both blanks and and randomly distributed symbols. During the base game, rewards on the loaded reel include Wilds and Colossal Wilds, Low Pay upgrade and Global Multiplier.
During the bonus game, you will get much better rewards from the Loaded Reel including Coin and Colossal Coin, Coin Upgrade as well as 3+ extra lives. There is also the Collect symbol which will allow you to hit a multiplier of up to 25x before collecting everything on the reels.
HOLD AND WIN MODE
Landing five or more coins anywhere on the screen will trigger the bonus Hold and Win mode. Only coins remains on the screen in this bonus game and they will have three different values (low, high and colossal). Respins and cascades happen here too and you will get three lives. With each spin, your life counter decreases by one if no new coins are landed. If one or more coins do land, your life counter refreshes back to three.
Full List of Features:
- Bonus game
- Free spins
- Hold and Win
- Random wilds
- Scatter symbols
- Multipliers
- Loaded reel
DEPTHS OF FORTUNE RTP (RETURN TO PLAYER) AND MAXIMUM PAYOUTS
Depths of Fortune has an adjustable RTP which will be one of either 96% or 94%. At Casumo casino, Depths of Fortune is available to be played at its optimal RTP of 96%.
Regarding the max payout of Depths Fortune, it has a potential to trigger multipliers of up to 20,000 times your bet. This qualifies Depths of Fortune as one of the best paying slots of the year.
STRATEGIES WHEN PLAYING DEPTHS OF FORTUNE FOR REAL MONEY
This is tricky but we do recommend ensuring that you have enough of a bankroll so that you can play long enough to enter the Hold and Win bonus game as this is where the biggest payouts are won.
The SlotsHawk team were betting 40p per spin and we found ourselves down by £35 within 10 minutes and without a bonus game. We do recommend playing Depths of Fortune slot for real money at Casumo casino as you will be able to play on its optimal return to player of 96%.
EXTRA INFO
Depths of Fortune is played on a 5×4 grid with 1,024 paylines. it has a loaded reel to the left of the main grid which can supplement the main grid for more wins. The main feature here is the Hold and Win bonus games.
Important info you need to know includes a medium volatility level, a max payout of up to 20,000x and an adjustable RTP which will either be 94% or 96%. Depths of Fortune was created by AvatarUX and was released on 31/07/2024.
THE SLOTSHAWK VERDICT
“The Hold and Win bonus has a lot of potential but the base game does become rather tedious due to low frequency and low quality wins.”
