Depths of Fortune Slot Review

Depths of Fortune Slot Game

When I first opened Depths of Fortune, the early 20th century submarine theme grabbed me straight away. AvatarUX puts the reels inside a chunky metal vessel, with a murky green ocean outside and a Loaded Reel bolted to the left. The slot runs on 5 reels with 4 to 7 rows and between 1024 and 16,807 ways to win. Stakes range from 0.10 to 100 per spin, and the volatility sits at a very playable medium level.

Depths of Fortune runs with three RTP settings, where 96.01 percent is the default while some casinos may pick 94 or even 90.53 percent instead. The hit frequency of 28.80 percent and a bonus average of 1 in 204 spins matched how the game felt for me across longer sessions. I played it on both mobile and desktop, and the layout with the Xpress button and clear controls worked smoothly in each case.

Symbols & Payouts in Depths of Fortune

Symbols in Depths of Fortune follow a simple split between card royals and character icons. The lower paying symbols are 10, J, Q, K and A, paying between 0.5x and 1x the bet for five of a kind. You need at least three matching symbols on adjacent reels starting from the left to land a win. The base payouts are not huge on paper, but the active ways system and cascades keep the reels ticking over.

The higher paying set features a sailor, a blue female character, a green male with glasses, a purple man with a cigar and a red captain. Five of a kind pays between 2x and 5x the stake, with the captain sitting at the top. The wild symbol shows a small yellow submarine with the word Wild and substitutes for all regular symbols. Coins are separate icons that matter only for the Hold & Win feature rather than the main paytable.

Coin Symbols in Depths of Fortune carry values of 1x to 100x the bet, while Colossal Coin Symbols can land with huge values of 500x to 5000x. These appear in both the base game and the bonus, but their real impact shows up in Hold & Win where they stick. The overall max win is capped at 20,000x the stake, which felt realistic given how the coins, modifiers and ways to win all stack together during a strong streak.

Depths of Fortune Bonus Features

Depths of Fortune leans heavily on cascades and the Loaded Reel. Every win triggers a cascade where winning symbols disappear and new ones drop down, which can chain several wins from a single spin. On the left, the Loaded Reel moves reward symbols from bottom to top, and the top cell is the Trigger Zone. When a reward symbol reaches that spot, it activates and can expand the Trigger Zone, expand the grid, add multipliers, upgrade low pays or drop wilds.

Hold & Win in Depths of Fortune starts when 5 or more Coin Symbols land in the base game. The screen shifts to a separate grid with only blanks and coins, and you get 3 lives that reset whenever a new coin lands. Coins tumble to the lowest available position and lock in place, with Colossal Coins offering major hits. The Loaded Reel keeps working here, adding Coin Symbols, Coin Upgrades, Extra Lives, Collect chests and Collect and Multiply rewards, and even extra grid or Trigger Zone expansion. For impatient players, Xpress lets you buy Fully Loaded spins or jump straight into Hold & Win with 5 to 8 starting coins on expanded grids.

How to Win at Depths of Fortune

Depths of Fortune does not use win lines, so the best approach is to think in ways rather than strict patterns. Any three or more matching symbols on adjacent reels from the left can pay, up to a maximum of 16,807 ways on a fully expanded grid. From my play, the real potential sits in chaining cascades that feed the Loaded Reel and in timing the Xpress options sensibly, rather than spinning endlessly at the minimum stake chasing the rarest Colossal Coins.

Depths of Fortune Slot RTP & Volatility

Depths of Fortune runs with medium volatility, and I felt that quite clearly across multiple longer sessions. The game can drop runs of dead spins, but the hit frequency around 28.80 percent gives enough smaller wins and cascades to keep the balance moving. The theoretical RTP of 96.01 percent on the default setting is fair for a Hold & Win slot with a big cap, although you should always check which version a particular casino is offering before settling in.

With stakes from 0.10 to 100 per spin, Depths of Fortune suits both low stakes players and those who like to push sessions harder. The max win of 20,000x the bet means a potential top payout of 2,000,000 at the highest stake, which obviously relies heavily on premium Coin Symbols and Collect and Multiply hits in the bonus. In my experience, the game felt swingy but not brutal, with enough mid range wins available to bridge the gap between bonuses.

Depths of Fortune Final Verdict

I had a lot of fun with Depths of Fortune, mainly because the Loaded Reel keeps the gameplay feeling fresh and the Hold & Win round is more involved than most streak respin features. The mix of grid expansion, multipliers, Coin Upgrades and treasure chest collects gives decent variety, and the art style works really well with the slightly eerie ocean setting. For anyone who enjoys coin collect bonuses and ways games, this slot is well worth a proper session.
