Gold Blitz Fortunes Slot – Free Demo

A three-reel grid built around the Collect symbol

Gold Blitz Fortunes is a 3-reel, 3-row slot with 27 ways to win. A way is a pattern of adjacent positions running across the reels, and it has to start on the first reel and run left to right. The total bet stands at ten times the initial bet. Way win payouts are calculated on that initial bet rather than on the total. I get to collect the cash values and the three jackpots, and central to the game is the Collect symbol and the Gold Blitz Respins feature. Each Collect symbol awards every Cash and Jackpot symbol on screen, and the same Jackpot can be awarded more than once on a single spin. Both can join together to grant quite respectable wins as you will see.

Cash symbols from 0.5x, Jackpot symbols to 1 500x

Fortune Factory Studios has picked the secure route by opting for the cash-on-reels arrangement I've seen innumerable times before, so there are no shocks to be found examining the standard symbols. Cash and Jackpot symbols turn up on all three reels in the base game, the Bonus and the Blitz Bonus, while the Collect symbol stays on reels 1 and 3 in all of them. The Cash symbols bear values of 0.5x to 20x the total bet. Those values rescale whenever you move the bet up or down. The Jackpot symbols, Minor, Major and Mega, head the way at 25x to 1 500x.

The game also features a Collect symbol as well as a Cash Multiplier. There is a Wheel Feature too, reached by accumulating token symbols, and its segments hold a cash payout of 8x, 10x, 12x, 15x or 20x the bet, one of the three Jackpots, the Bonus, or the Blitz Bonus. I will be looking more into those below as they play a pivotal role in the game, and Gold Blitz Fortunes has a 96.01% RTP, remaining at 96.01% with the Bonus Buy and falling to 96.00% with the Blitz Bonus Buy or the Random Bonus Buy. The buy covers the Bonus, the Blitz Bonus or the Random Feature, which resolves into one of the two. Over my 350 spins, the game yielded an observed win of 54.4 times the stake. That came on spin 100, in a session that wagered 3,500.00 at a stake of 10.00 and won 2,734.00 back. The wins to be found here remain on the modest side.

One respin that can turn into three

Gold Blitz Fortunes does come furnished with the traditional type free spins feature you might anticipate. Three Bonus Scatters anywhere on the reels set it off, and the Bonus Spins run with 3 to 25 free spins and a Cash Multiplier of 2x to 10x that holds for the whole round. But it also retains plenty in the main game area and puts emphasis on two constantly present features. Before those spins begin, a Bonus Builder stage of three builder spins tallies up the Free Spins and Cash Multiplier values the round will start with. The Gold Blitz Respins is one of them.

The Collect symbol is here confined to reels 1 and 3. It takes a Collect symbol on both of those reels to set the respin going. When it lands with no Cash or Jackpot symbol alongside it, the Gold Blitz Respins feature is activated and a lone respin is granted. The Collect symbols lock where they landed while the rest of the grid spins on. Every position then becomes its own reel spinning only Cash symbols, Jackpot symbols and blanks, with at least one assured to land, and this way it's feasible to trigger between 1 and 3 respins.

It is feasible to pack the screen with Cash and Jackpot symbols.

Final Minty Score: Four bonus rounds across 350 spins paid 1,280.00 of the 2,734.00 that came back, and the best of them was worth 54.0 times the stake — a long way short of what the same Collect engine reaches on Blazing Bison Gold Blitz or Gold Blitz Ultimate, which spread the same Cash and Jackpot symbols over thousands of ways instead of 27.

The Random Cash Multiplier tops out at 10x

Keep an eye out for the Random Cash Multiplier, and it only triggers on a base game spin where a Cash symbol is collected. It stays out of the Gold Blitz Respins, both on the trigger and on the respins that follow, and out of the Bonus Scatter Respins as well. It lands at 2x, 3x, 5x or 10x.

Every Cash symbol collected that spin is multiplied by the present multiplier. Jackpot symbols are left out of the arrangement. So picture a situation packing the screen with cash along with a nice multiplier, which by the way can climb up to 20x with the help of the Blitz Bonus Spins.

Four bonus rounds in 350 spins

In Gold Blitz Fortunes, the Collect Feature and the Cash Multiplier work well together. The Wheel Feature sits beside them as the one route to the Blitz Bonus, whose spins start at 13 to 35 free spins with a Cash Multiplier of 11x to 20x. Even though my 350 spins returned only 78.1% of what I wagered and only 107 of them paid anything at all, it manages to keep me engaged throughout the session. Sixty of those paying spins came back with less than the 10.00 stake, and the longest run without a win was 11 spins, ending on spin 163. The four bonus rounds I struck accounted for 47% of everything won. They fell on spins 100, 183, 195 and 302 and paid 1,280.00 between them, with the last of them coming 107 spins after the one before it. The finest of them was 54.0 times the stake on spin 100, and it may not be capable of the extreme win potential observed in other games, keeping it more on a realistic and attainable level.
