If you are planning to become a master thief who steals only valuable artefacts and works of art, then you should first test your skills in Vault of Fortune, a five-reel video slot that comes from Yggdrasil’s creative kitchen. Playable from $0.20 per spin, the 2020 release offers four special features players can benefit from. Every winning spin will trigger the Dropdown Respins feature, making winning symbols disappear and allowing new ones to fill their places. Also, there is the Increasing Multiplier, which goes up by 1x after every successive win. Expect Expanding Wilds, which become a stack of 6 vertical Wilds. Finally, there is the Free Spins feature that offers up to 40 freebies with increasing win multipliers.
First of all, you do not have to be an experienced thief in order to find your way in the museum storage where the reels are set. Even mere beginners will play the Yggdrasil title like pros, because the rules of the game are very simple. Vault of Fortune features a standard 5x3 reel grid and benefits from 20 fixed paylines. The slot pays left to right, beginning from the far-left reel. Land at least three matching icons on a payline to win a payout. Bet from $0.20 to $100 per single spin.
There are so many valuable artefacts hidden here in the museum storage where the reels are set. Golden Crowns, Faberge Eggs, Emerald Cat Statues, Ming Vases, and gemstone necklaces are there for the taking. The golden Wilds will substitute for all regular symbols, while the Scroll Scatters are in charge of triggering the Free Spins feature. You will also see paintings, golden lamps, treasure chests, statues from ancient Egypt, but they are not among the symbols that populate the reels, they are stored in the background.
Every winning spin will trigger the Dropdown Respins feature. Winning icons will be destroyed and new ones will land to fill their positions. Respins continue until there are new successive winning combinations. This is closely connected with the Increasing Multiplier, which goes up by 1x after each successive win. It resets to 1x after a non-winning spin. Finally, there is the Expanding Wild feature, which is triggered when a Wild lands on the reels. It will expand to become a stack of 6 vertical Wilds.
Land three, four, or five Scatters to trigger the Free Spins feature and get 8, 12, or 20 freebies, depending on the number of Scatters landed. The active win multiplier from the triggering spin is carried over to the Free Spins feature, and raises more after each winning free spin. The feature can be retriggered, so you can get up to 40 free spins at once.
Yggdrasil got us used to video slots that boast exceptional graphics and engaging soundtracks, and Vault of Fortune is no exception. The 2020 release is a simple, yet fun and exciting video slot that offers more than enough additional features that will help gamers land big wins. If you play your cards right, you can expect wins up to 11,000x bet, which is quite nice.
