Depths of Fortune Pokie Review

As I said earlier, this is an underwater adventure. Not as exciting as 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea but it offers a decent amount of extras that you will adore, believe me.

Cascading reels will bring you multiple payouts and different upgrades from the Loaded Reel. The Loaded Reel is also packed with upgrades and surprises. However, the essential part of the AvatarUX product is the Hold & Win feature.

Cascading Reels

Each win will remove winning symbols and add new icons on vacant cells. Cascading reels are connected with the Loaded Reel so, apart from collecting multiple payouts in a single spin, you will also enjoy various upgrades.

Cascading reels are so rewarding in Depths of Fortune. At least, that was the case with me. I got a payout on almost every other spin. Of course, not all of the wins were that generous. Nevertheless, I am more than happy with this feature.

Loaded Reel

The Loaded Reel is located on the left side of the grid and its top cell is the trigger zone. With every cascade, potential prizes will come from the bottom of the Loaded Reel. Each time you land a reward on the trigger zone, you get a prize.

Base game rewards on the Loaded Reel include the expansion of the trigger zone, grid expansion, multipliers, Wilds and Colossal Wilds, and the upgrade of low-value icons. Thanks to cascading reels, I got plenty of extras from the Loaded Reel in the base game.

My biggest base game win was 120x. With a little help from Wilds, multipliers, and symbol upgrade, I managed to get 10 successive cascades and pocket 120x.

Hold & Win

To trigger the Hold & Win feature, you need at least 5 coins on the reels. Only coins and Loaded Reel upgrades appear on the screen during the feature. Here, you get different extras from the Loaded Reel.

Apart from grid expansion and trigger zone expansion, you will benefit from coins and colossal coins, extra lives, collect, and collect and multiply. You have 3 respins. With each new coin on the grid, respins reset to 3. Each new cascade can bring you a new upgrade from the Loaded Reel.

When you fill all the cells with coins or when you use all of your respins, the feature ends. I triggered the Hold & Win feature several times and each time I landed generous payouts. My biggest win was 750x the bet.

XPress Feature

This is the option that you can use to buy the feature, for a price of 5x-500x. The price depends on the number of starting coins, how much the Loaded Reel is actually loaded, and the size of the reel grid.

Whichever option you select, you will rarely win more than you have paid for, and that is a fact. That’s why I don’t recommend using the Buy Feature option in any pokie machine.
