ABOUT GAME
WHAT'S THE STORY?
For centuries, mankind has journeyed underground in search of buried treasure. Keeping up with age-old tradition, Forge of Fortunes sees you delve into the rocky abyss, armed with a quarry of tools, your job is to separate the sought-after gold clusters from unwanted lumps of coal.
Where’s a trusty pickaxe when you need one?
FEATURES
Set on a unique and captivating 3x1 set of reels, the game tasks you with matching three gold symbols repeatedly until you achieve the maximum smelted prize.
If this is achieved, the game will trigger Forging Re-Spins and players have the potential to multiply their bet by x2500!
Don’t let the lack of reels in the game fool you! Players are likely to find themselves with more spins than expected just from their initial bet with the help of the Forging Re-Spins.
There’s an in-game modifier where a flashing red light indicates an ‘extra life’ by restarting the Re-Spins.
However, if the player experiences a losing spin, they are given another chance but are knocked lower on the conveyor belt. Said conveyor belt displays cash values.
Gold is the goal... https://www.playngo.com/games/forge-of-fortunes
