Emperor's Fortune Slots
Emperor’s Fortune is a game that taps into the regal and majestic themes that come with a central figure of power. Though no longer a mainstay in modern politics, there was a period in the history of humanity that was dominated by emperors.
From the days of the Roman semi-gods through to the conquests of Napoleon Bonaparte, emperors have played an intrinsic role in the forging of the modern political climate; their shortcomings as rulers and as individuals acting as a warning that single power government is not often the best way forward!
Emperor’s Fortune is a slot game developed by the always capable team at Eyecon. It is based around the fortune and favour often used by the wider populous to greet a divine ruler and it’s general theme highlights each of the corners and dimensions visible in the rule of any leader who possesses complete control. With a total of 5 active reels and 25 separate paylines, the game is a meaty one to say the least and offers the potential for players to unlock some decent wins; but how well does it carry itself?
Getting Your Hands on the Emperor’s Gold
The name of the game here is obviously getting your own piece of the Emperor’s vast fortune, ideally without him rumbling your plans and sentencing you to death for your treason. The ways in which you can do this are slight but varied nonetheless. The game functions in much the same capacity as you would expect from a 5-reeler, with various symbols all dressing up the reels and forming the 25 different paylines. When you hit a combo, a percentage of the main mans treasures will be awarded to you, depending on the value of the symbols involved.
The most valuable symbol within the wider console is the Emperor himself, who represents the game’s wild. He looks an awful lot like a 21st century video slot depiction of Napoleon, though through a lack of being able to confirm this, let’s not call him that!
Needless to say, the Emperor acts in the same way as any wild; he possesses the divine power (at least, he assures us all he does) to substitute any of the game’s other symbols (except the scatter) in order to forge any winning combination across the active reels – and will land the player in some seriously hefty payout situations when he does.
The scatter within the Emperor’s Fortune is rather fittingly a cannon, another symbol certainly worth looking out for given its ability to award any number of multipliers and free spins. So far, so standard. But what else does this well performing slot have up its delicately embroidered sleeve?
Prize Picks and Free Games
The answer the above question arrives conveniently (at least for the gamers of the world who enjoy lucrative surprises as part of their gaming experience) in the form of both a Prize Pick bonus feature and the potential to unlock free games/spins in the most simplistic manner possible.
The former, the Prize Pick bonus, can be triggered when 3 or more cannon symbols decorate the Royal reels. Three cannons will result in 3 picks, 4 will offer 4, and 5 will offer 5. Each pick is unique, though the most valuable a multiplier of 100 times the original wager for that line!
Free games are doled out in a very similar way, though are related not to the cannon but to the Emperor symbol itself. Three symbols offer 15 free spins, 4 will provide 20, and 5 a rather hefty 25. Line wins can be trebled in size during each free game, making this feature even more valuable to players who are all about seizing some of that fortune!
What’s the Verdict?
The integrated theme on show here does well to offer a level of entertainment all so often overlooked by games developers. With good performance and some very novel graphics, this game packs a real punch both in terms of aesthetics and pay potential.
The minimum bet players can place is 0.01 and the maximum is 12.50, making for a decent RTP of 95%. Complete with a nice portion of bonuses and extra game components, Emperor’s Fortune is a game that is very worthwhile of your time.
Sure, there may not be a great deal of incentive to keep on returning to this slot when the novelty of the theme has worn off or indeed the satisfaction of obtaining the entirety of the Emperor’s savings account has been felt, but it’s a fun game nonetheless.
