Nero’s Fortune

Nero’s Fortune Slot Review

You’re advised to read our Nero’s Fortune slot machine review in full so that you can get the best out of this exceptional game right from the outset, though in a nutshell it’s very fair to say that we gave it the thumbs up. Quickspin have notably used their latest 3D engine in its production and the extra resources have made for excellent results. 

Nero’s Fortune Theme
Set against the stunning backdrop is a stone tablet complete with pillars, gold trimmings and a classically-designed pediment – all of which encloses a 5×5 playing grid. Symbols fall onto the grid in a tumbling or cascading style rather than via traditional spinning reels, and the stone tablets that house them bear the images of wolves, eagles and lions along with tradition poker icons, with the low-key shades of brown, green and blue used to complement the brighter amber and gold hues used for the win calculator and golden coins that shower from the grid when you get lucky. 

Successful rounds also see all tiles comprising a winning row dramatically lit up around the edges and thrown off the board with a slashing sword sound effect. During the practice session we used to gather data for our Nero’s Fortune review we scored quite a few wins, and found this particular touch especially satisfying – and the game features a number of other extra flourishes in a similar vein that lifts it well above its peer group. 

Betting Options 
You can take part in this online slot from just $0.20, though if you’d rather go for a win fit for an emperor there are options that will let you wager up to $100 on a single spin. 

Altering your bet level is simple: Just use the up and down arrows in the orange box at the bottom of the reels marked ‘Total Bet’, and you’ll be ready to go in no time at all. 

Bonus Features
When winning clusters of symbols are removed from the grid, an ‘X’ symbol will appear in the resultant gap before new symbols replace those that formed the cluster. There’s a chance that a multiplier will appear in one of the positions, and it will remain there until it’s used or the tumbling comes to an end. 

Land 3 or more bonus scatter symbols on 1 spin and you’ll trigger an impressive free spins round. Spin in 3, 4 or 5 scatters to get 10, 12 or 14 free games, at which point the playing grid will dramatically tilt back in its entirety and some special bonus multipliers are added randomly onto the grid. These work in a similar way to those that appear in empty spaces on the grid in the base game, though in this case they’re also dynamic and can increase in value – so you end up with some colossal-sized wins once you’ve triggered this round, which we felt was the defining feature of the entire game and something you’ll need to stick around for if you want to experience everything this slot has to offer. 

Nero’s Fortune Maximum Win
Make it onto the emperor’s throne in this game and you’ll receive a payout of 8,100x your bet – which means a maximum prize of $810,000. Not quite enough to start your own empire but it’ll buy you your own luxury Tuscan pad and plenty of Chianti to put in the cellar. 

Is Nero’s Fortune Worth Playing and Who Should Play It?
For sheer visual drama alone, this game is well worth playing. Its cluster win and multiplier mechanisms take some getting used to if you aren’t familiar with how these ideas work, though despite working slightly differently to most slots it’s not hard to pick up. We’d therefore recommend it to players of any level of experience.

How To Play & How To Win

It’s easy to learn how to play Nero’s Fortune. After setting your bet level just use the large spin button to the bottom right, or if you’d rather not repeatedly click or tap for every spin just use the autoplay control right next to it. To win a cash prize, just get five or more matching symbols in a cluster. You could also win a significant prize if you manage to start a Nero’s Fortune bonus game.

It’s not possible to tell you how to win on Nero’s Fortune, as the game is based entirely on luck. A random number generator is used to ensure the symbols that appear truly are random, and there’s no way you can influence it. So, instead of trying to work out a way to win the Nero’s Fortune jackpot, just accept that the game is random and enjoy spinning the reels.

Nero’s Fortune Slot RTP

There’s an impressive average return-to-player figure of 96.21% on this slot. The Nero’s Fortune RTP figure equates to expected winnings of $96.21 if you wager a total of $100 in a typical session. You can, however, anticipate wins or losses that vary considerably around this statistical average when you actually play. There is no way to change the Nero’s Fortune RTP.
