Step into the fantasy universe inspired by Norse mythology with the Fortunes of Asgard slot developed by Bla Bla Studios for Microgaming platform. The visually-captivating game benefits from a number of bonus features and specials symbols, such as sticky Wilds, Wild reels, Free Spins and the Galaxy Bonus, awarding up to 39x your bet. The highest potential win on a single spin is 20,000 coins.
The Fortunes of Asgard slot machine comes with 5 reels and 20 fixed paylines where players can stake anywhere between $0.20 and $10 on a spin. The playing interface features the Max Bet option that will automatically select the highest bet allowed. In addition, Autoplay will spin the reels without interruption for a chosen number of times. Finally, the Spin button will set the reels in motion after you've adjusted your bet per line.
The reels are populated by theme-related icons such as Thor himself, Hellia, Thor's hammer (Mjolnir), book of spells and the Thor's shield. In addition, you will come across regular playing card symbols which represent low-paying icons on the reel set. Wilds are depicted as a lightning bolt that will substitute for all other symbols apart from Bonus symbols and Scatters to complete a winning combo.
Players can choose to play the game in two different modes, which will basically determine the kind of Wilds that will come into play – Thor or Hellia Wilds. So, if you select Thor and Mjolnir hammer lands next to Thor, the entire reel containing Thor symbol will become stacked Wild. On the other hand, in the Hellia mode, keep an eye for the book of spells since each time that symbol lands next to Hellia, Hellia will turn into Wild and remain in its place for the next spin.
The Free Spins feature is triggered by landing at least three Scatters anywhere in view. The number of Scatters you land will determine the number of free spins you win, so landing 3 Scatters will award 10 free spins, while landing 4 Scatters will give you 15 free spins. Finally, if you are lucky enough to land 5 Scatters, you will receive 25 free spins in total. The feature cannot be re-triggered, however, Thor and Hellia features are active during this round.
Land three Bonus symbols on the reels 1, 3 and 5 and trigger the Galaxy Bonus where you will get to play a picking game. Here, you will be required to select different galaxies which will reveal instant cash rewards. The round comes to an end once you reveal the galaxy with the Collect sign.
The Gamble feature is also available and can be activated by clicking on the hearts/clubs button. The feature can potentially double your balance, but you have to be cautious since any incorrect guess will leave you empty-handed.
