Dwarfs Fortune™ Slot Review

Game Info for Dwarfs Fortune

Dwarfs Fortune is a mining themed slot from Wazdan that runs on 5 reels with a pay anywhere system instead of fixed lines. I get a win when at least five matching gem symbols land anywhere on the main grid, helped by wilds that substitute for regular pays. Above the standard reels sits a special cart row that carries multipliers, bonus icons and collectors, so every position on the screen has a job to do.

The game forms part of the Hold the Jackpot series and was released in March 2022. Official numbers keep things clear, with 96.16 percent RTP, variable volatility via Volatility Levels and a hard capped max win of 2500x the stake. Stakes run from small test bets up to very high limits, and I can pick my preferred speed with Ultra Fast Mode or stick with the default pace for a more relaxed grind.

Theme and Design in Dwarfs Fortune

Visually, Dwarfs Fortune drops me into a dimly lit mine, with rails, carts and piles of glowing ore filling the background. The reels are packed with colourful gemstones that sparkle on every spin, and the top cart row trundles along, dropping in wilds, multipliers and bonus symbols. The whole layout feels busy without being messy, so I can follow where each special symbol lands without having to squint at cluttered animations.

The soundtrack leans on mining style tunes and low rumbling effects, which suits those long hunts for the feature. Animations stay short even when the action ramps up, especially if I flip on Ultra Fast Mode. On mobile, Double Screen Mode keeps the paytable in view above the reels, which I like, as I can see how wins scale with stake size without breaking away from the mine for separate help screens.

Dwarfs Fortune Symbols and Paytable

The base paytable in Dwarfs Fortune sticks to gem symbols, with the pay anywhere system awarding whenever I land five or more matching icons in view. Depending on the colour, five of a kind pays between 0.2x and 4x my stake, so single spin hits can line up through several separate clusters. The wild symbol helps here by standing in for any regular pay, which makes those scattered gem groups connect much more often.

On top of standard pays, Dwarfs Fortune runs a full set of bonus symbols. Regular diamond Cash icons carry values from 1x to 10x, then 12x and 15x stake, and they show up in both the base game and Hold the Jackpot round. Orange tinted Increasing Value Sticky Cash symbols stand out, as they hold in place for up to nine respins in the base game and climb in value by one bet unit after each spin.

There is a separate tier of special icons that use the top row. Multiplier symbols of x2, x3, x5 or x7 sit in carts and apply to the total spin win, which can turn modest gem clusters into meaningful pays. Jackpot diamonds award fixed Mini, Minor and Major prizes of 20x, 50x and 150x stake, while Mystery and Dwarfs Mystery symbols flip into other bonus icons, with the dwarf themed version guaranteeing one of the jackpots.

Bonus Features in Dwarfs Fortune

Feature wise, Dwarfs Fortune is stacked in that typical Wazdan way. Increasing Value Sticky Cash symbols in the base game stay on the grid for up to nine respins, climbing in value and edging me closer to the six bonus icons needed for Hold the Jackpot. I can pick from three Volatility Levels, use Energy Saving Mode on mobile, or push the pace with Ultra Fast Mode. There is also the Unique Gamble mini game, plus a Buy Feature with four priced entries into the bonus, ranging from 40x up to 500x stake and adding guaranteed Mystery, Dwarfs Mystery and Collector symbols depending on the package.

Hold the Jackpot bonus in Dwarfs Fortune

Hold the Jackpot in Dwarfs Fortune is where the mining theme really pays off. I trigger it by landing at least six bonus symbols of any kind in view, including Cash, Increasing Value Cash, jackpots or mysteries, and all triggering icons carry over into the feature. The screen clears to a 5 by 4 grid with just those symbols locked in place, and I start with three respins. Every time a new bonus symbol lands, it sticks and the counter goes back to three.

During the round, regular and Increasing Value Cash symbols use the same 1x to 10x, 12x and 15x prize ladder, but the golden Increasing Value versions step up by my bet size after each respin, so they can grow scary if the round drags on. Collector symbols appear on the top row with a countdown of one to nine and sweep up all visible Cash values on every spin until the counter hits zero. Jackpot, Mystery and Dwarfs Mystery symbols also sit on the top row, and filling all twenty positions with any bonus symbols pays the Grand Jackpot of 2500x stake, which acts as the game’s hard win cap and replaces any smaller totals.

Dwarfs Fortune - RTP, Volatility and Max Win

On the maths side, Dwarfs Fortune runs at 96.16 percent RTP with high volatility tuned through Wazdan’s Volatility Levels setting. I can choose gentler swings or a sharper ride, though regular gem wins in the base game stay modest, with even a full screen of the best blue diamonds topping out at around 16x stake without multiplier help. Serious potential sits in Hold the Jackpot, capped at a 2500x Grand Jackpot regardless of bet size.

Review Summary for Dwarfs Fortune

After plenty of spins, Dwarfs Fortune feels like a well judged Hold the Jackpot entry with a clear focus on its bonus round. The pay anywhere system, top cart reel and Increasing Value Sticky Cash symbols keep the base game moving, but I always have one eye on stacking six or more bonus icons. Collector carts rolling along the top row in the feature create real tension, especially when they park above growing golden diamonds.

The ceiling of 2500x stake will not impress players who chase huge jackpots, and the rule where the Grand cancels other prizes can sting a little, even though the net result is still decent. That said, the four tier Buy Feature, flexible volatility, quality of life modes and strong mining theme keep me coming back. For me, Dwarfs Fortune works best as a punchy, feature driven slot rather than a marathon grinder.
