Dr Fortuno Slot RTP

If you like to use the RTP of a game to guide your strategy then you will be interested to learn that the RTP of the Dr Fortuno slot is 96.20%. This is pretty typical for a slot of this type, and compares favourably with other Yggdrasil slots. Their Vikings Go Berzerk slot has an RTP of 96.10%, while Dwarf Mine works with an RTP of 96.80%.

The game has a medium variance. This means that your chances of large, infrequent wins and smaller, frequent wins should be roughly about the same. It also makes the game suitable for both seasoned slots veterans and relative newcomers to online gaming.

The Dr Fortuno slot is visually very impressive indeed. The graphics are cartoon-style but are of the kind of quality that you would see in a high-quality TV show or in a graphic novel, rather than something from the pages of The Beano, or from one of Nektan’s slots. The reels are set in the side of a gipsy caravan of the type that travelling circus performers might use. There is an ornate frame, atop of which sits an image of Dr Fortuno himself.

The detail in the graphics is excellent. This is a typical Yggdrasil slot, in that it looks lush, with deep colours and intelligent shading used to create a really immersive visual scene. The reels spin smoothly, and the symbols sometimes move within their spaces on the reels too. This slot looks much more impressive than other circus-themed games, such as Red Tiger’s Wild Circus, or Reel Play’s Buster Hammer.

There is a certainly a somewhat spooky atmosphere in this slot. The welcoming sequence is full of drama, as we move into Dr Fortun’s tent and meet the man himself. The music is a slightly eerie, jangly piano tune that can become a little repetitive but is actually very good. There are also some weirdly atmospheric riffs used in the music that sound like they were played on saws. It’s very high quality and matches the quality of the graphics.

The Night Twins and the Water Witch are 2 interesting symbols that you will see on the reels. They can expand to fill more than one space on the reels. Firehead the Clown is another symbol that can appear stacked in this way. These 3 symbols are the higher-value ones. The game’s lower value symbols are much more impressive than those that you will see in other slots. There are no mere numbers and letters used. Instead, these symbols are differently coloured pickle jars containing various body parts. Red, green, blue and purple are used as colours, contributing to the game’s macabre atmosphere.

Dr Fortuno himself is the game’s wild symbol, and very valuable he is too. Not only does he substitute for all other symbols to create winning combinations, but he also plays a part in triggering one of the game’s bonus features. He can expand to fill a whole reel too. The game’s other bonus is triggered by the top hat symbol. We’ll look at how both of these features work in the next section of this Dr Fortuno slot review.

As we mentioned above, there are two bonus features that you can enjoy in the Dr Fortuno slot. You can also pick up a progressive jackpot, if you’re lucky, the running tally of which is displayed alongside the reels during gameplay. We’ll look at all of these bonuses in detail here.

Wheel of Fortuno

If you are lucky enough to spin in a win that includes at least one wild symbol then you will trigger the Wheel of Fortuno feature. Sometimes, the wild symbol will nudge into position to create a win of you too, if fortune is feeling generous. You receive one spin of the Wheel of Fortuno for each wild on the reels. Spinning the wheel gives you a chance of picking up one of the following four prizes:

• A cash prize of between 20 and 100 coins
• An opportunity to capture the progressive jackpot as a cash prize
• A chance to win the game’s jackpot prize
• A bonus two extra spins on the Wheel of Fortuno
• A multiplier worth as much as 5x the original win

Dr Fortuno Slot Free Spins

You gain access to the free spins feature in this slot if at least 3 of the top hat symbols spin into view on the reels. You will also benefit from some bonus modifiers, depending on how many top hat symbols appear on the reels. If you get 3 symbols, then you’ll receive 1 modifier from the list. For 4 symbols, it’s 2 modifiers, and for 5 symbols it’s 3 modifiers. Initially, you will receive 10 free spins.

Here are the modifiers that you can pick up for the free spins:

1. Removal of all low paying symbols from the reels
2. A 2x multiplier for all wins
3. Some extra wild symbols on the reels
4. From 5 to 10 extra free spins
5. Paylines that run in both directions

Once your modifier or modifiers have been added the free spins start. As you can see, those modifiers give you a real boost, and can really improve your chances of taking home some lucrative prizes.

This Dr Fortuno slot review will end on a very positive note, with us stating that we absolutely loved this gem of a game. Yggdrasil slots are always visually impressive, but this one is especially so. There are so many little touches that add to its immersive atmosphere too, from the spooky music to the animated symbols. When you add in some potentially lucrative and very entertaining bonus feature, the game is even more impressive.

If you are keen on trying some macabre slots with a horror theme, then you might want to have a look at Halloween Jack from Net Entertainment, or possibly Day of the Dead from IGT.
