Theme & Design
Fortunes of Asgard is a Norse Mythology themed slot with the main focus being on two iconic characters known as Hellia and Thor. As always Games Global has done an amazing job of incorporating the theme into every single aspect of the slot. From the beautiful backdrop to the smallest detail on the reels are theme driven.
The backdrop shows a blurred glimpse of the floating islands in the sky known as the homes of the Norse gods. You’ll notice the reels are connected to the royal islands as it is also carved out of marble and the gilded gold corners add the touch of royalty. To the left of the reels you will see a coin with Thor’s face and to the right, you’ll see Hellia’s face but more of what they do will be discussed in the bonus feature section.Â
On the reels, you will find the lower value symbols being regular playing card symbols such as 10, K, J and A. The higher value symbols are all theme related and include Thor’s Hammer (Mjolnir), a shield, a purple magic spells book and of course both Hellia and Thor. The soundtrack is rather dramatic which helps to set the mood and build the suspense.Â
Bonus features and Gameplay
Fortunes of Asgard is completely packed with amazing bonus features that start during the base game. The slot comes with a Wild that is represented by the lightning symbol with the word wild written on top of it. The wild substitutes for all other symbols apart from the scatter and bonus symbol.Â
The fun with features starts in the base game where you get to switch from Thor to Hellia simply by clicking on their pictures next to the reels. Each will give you some extra features to look forward to. Activating Thor will result in one reel turning completely wild when Thor and his Mjolnir land next to one another. Activating Hellia will result in her turning into a sticky wild when she lands next to the magic spells book symbol.Â
Then there is the free spins bonus feature that is triggered by three or more scatter symbols. The number of scatters used to trigger the spins will determine the amount. 3 scatters gets you 10 free spins, 4 gets you 15 and 5 gets you 25 free spins to enjoy. During the free spins feature both the Hellia and Thor features mentioned above are active which increases your chances of decent winnings.Â
The slot also comes with a galaxy bonus feature which is triggered when you land three or more bonus symbols on reels three and five. In this bonus feature, you’ll get to click on galaxies to reveal cash prizes. This feature will continue until you reveal a ‘Collect’ icon.Â
As with many Games Global slots Fortunes of Asgard also comes with a gamble feature which can be manually activated after any winning spin to double up on your wins. The feature allows you to take part in a guessing game where you have a 50/50 chance of either doubling up or losing all your wins.Â
