Dwarfs Fortune Slot Game

It’s been interesting to follow the development of Wazdan’s popular Hold the Jackpot series, and they seem to have upped the ante lately. Recent installments come with overall higher production value, at least in our humble opinion, and more intricate, innovative and developed versions of the Hold the Jackpot bonus round. The mining-themed Dwarfs Fortune continues the positive trend in that regard, and the audiovisual presentation is quite pleasing.

The same can be said about the fast-paced and smooth flow you get with the Ultra Fast speed mode switched on, and you can choose your preferred volatility as usual. The Increasing Value Sticky Cash symbols are a new innovation, and so is the top special-symbol cart reel. The Hold the Jackpot bonus round comes with plenty of extras, including some innovations, and the max win is hard-capped at 2,500x your sake.

The Pay Anywhere system awards a win when you land 5 matching symbols anywhere in view, and the Wild symbol can step in for all pay symbols to help complete a win. The symbols pay between 0.2 to 4 x your stake when you match up 5, and the top cart reel comes with special symbols we’ll discuss below.

In addition to regular pay symbols, the top cart reel can slide in Multiplier symbols of x2, x3, x5 or x7, and these will boost your total win accordingly. The top cart reel can also slide in different bonus and/or special bonus symbols that can help trigger the Hold the Jackpot feature, and these are then carried over into the bonus round.

You need at least 6 Bonus symbols (of any kind) in view to trigger the Hold the Jackpot feature, and you might get help from the Increasing Value Sticky Cash symbols. These are orange-tinted diamond bonus symbols that remain in place for up to 9 re-spins, and the cash prize value of the symbol increases by the same amount as your bet size per spin.

The Hold the Jackpot bonus plays out on a cleared 5x4 grid, and all the triggering symbols are carried over. You start with 3 re-spins, and any new symbols that land become sticky and resets the re-spin tally to 3 again. The feature goes on until you either run out of re-spins, or you fill the grid with symbols.

Regular diamond Cash symbols come with cash prizes of 1x to 10x, 12x and 15x your stake, and the same goes for the Increasing Value Cash symbols. The value of the latter can increase towards infinity in the bonus round however, as each re-spin increases its value by your chosen bet size. In addition, you can land Mini, Minor and Major Jackpot diamonds, and these award prizes of 20x, 50x and 150x, respectively.

The regular Mystery symbol can turn into any other bonus symbol, while the Dwarfs Mystery symbol guarantees 1 of the 3 above-mentioned Jackpots. Both mystery symbol types are revealed at the end of the feature.

The Collector symbol in the shape of a minecart rolls in with a random countdown value of 1 to 9, and it accumulates all values from Cash and Increasing Value Cash symbols per re-spin until the countdown value reaches zero. If it stops above Increasing Value Cash symbols, both symbols can increase players’ wins to infinity.

The Collector symbols, Jackpot symbols, Mystery symbols and Dwarfs Mystery symbols can appear only on the top row during the feature. 

All winnings are summed up as the feature ends, and you win the 2,500x Grand Jackpot if you manage to fill all 20 positions with any kind of bonus symbols. Since 2,500x is the game’s win cap, the Grand Jackpot is paid out alone, and all other winnings are disregarded.
