Flame and Fortune review

Theme and Style

Flame and Fortune's theme mixes a Tolkien-esque fantasy realm, complete with dragons, with a classic fruit machine.

The setting is the dank treasure cave of a fierce dragon. The dragon stands over the reels, sharp claws ready to strike. On the reels, classic treasures appear. Things like coins, swords, shields, and grails. But there is also a selection of fruit including oranges, kiwis, and (appropriately) dragonfruit.

This strange blend of treasures gives this slot a strange, self-parodic vibe that should work for fans of fantasy tales who don't take it all too seriously.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

The dragon's hoard in Flame and Fortune is clearly rendered with much love and plenty of detail.

The background had subtle animations to it, like a soft rain of gold coins falling and the dragon's slight adjustments of posture.

On the reels, the animations are a little more detailed. Certain win states cause flames to appear and the light of magic spells to run from one symbol to another.

The soundtrack is full of coin sounds, while the music is a soaring mythic tune right out of a classic fantasy movie.

The visuals are definitely one of the key selling points of this slot.

Gameplay

There are five reels in Flame and Fortune’s base game. There are three rows of symbols on each reel and a total of just five win lines (an unusually low number for a five-reel slot).

Play is pretty straightforward, but there are a couple of little features that keep the game varied from spin to spin. For example, Coin symbols land with random values that pay out if there is also a Dragon symbol.

Or a symbol that increases the multiplier applied to wins on that spin. These features are fun additions but do not interfere with the standard gameplay too much.

The maximum win on any given round is capped at 3,000x the player's bet.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

The Wild symbol in Flame and Fortune stands in for all other symbols with the exception of the Coin symbols, Plus Coin and Dragon symbols.

If the Dragon symbol lands, it collects the value of all the Coin symbols. When each symbol is collected, there is a chance for each Coin and Dragon symbol to trigger the Hold & Win bonus.

During the Hold & Win bonus, the player gets three spins. Coin and Dragon symbols are locked in place during the bonus and the number of spins resets to three when one of these symbols lands on the reel.

When the counter reaches zero, the player receives the value of all the Coin symbols (multiplied by the dragon multiplier). During the base game, the multiplier is increased every time a Plus Coin symbol lands on the reels, setting the player up for bigger Bonus wins should they trigger the Hold & Win game.

Bet Sizes, RTP and Variance

The return to player (RTP) of Flame And Fortune is just 95.74%. This is quite low. We usually take our rough yardstick for the industry average to be 96%.

The range of bets on the site we tested ran from a minimum bet per spin of $/£/€0.10 up to a maximum of $/£/€300 per spin.

Flame and Fortune is a low volatility slot. This further pushes it away from being useful with our preferred slot strategies as we usually target high volatility combined with a high RTP.

Conclusion

Flame and Fortune is a pretty good slot. The setting is fun and cartoony with some high-fantasy depth to it. The gameplay is fun and fits the theme nicely.

However, due to its low RTP of 95.74%, this slot is just too expensive to recommend.

As a result, we would suggest hunting for a dragon hoard elsewhere.
