Depths of Fortune (AvatarUX) – Review & Demo Play

Depths of Fortune Slot Game

AvatarUX sends you underwater in Depths of Fortune, where a vintage submersible frames a 5-reel grid and a special Loaded Reel sits on the left. The base setup is 5x4 with cascading wins and expanding rows that can reach 16,807 ways. Stakes run from €0.10 to €100 per spin, and the action sits in the medium volatility range. I liked how the murky art and steampunk crew set the mood, while the absence of PopWins makes space for fresh mechanics.

Depths of Fortune Symbols & Payouts

Depths of Fortune splits its paytable into five minor and five major symbols. The lows are 10, J, Q, K, and A, paying 0.5x to 1x for five of a kind. The character set carries the heft, with the sailor and woman paying 2x for five, the cartographer and businessman paying 2.5x, and the captain topping the lot at 5x for five. Payouts for three and four of a kind sit lower, reflecting the constant modifiers at play.

Wilds appear as a yellow sub and substitute all regular pays, except Coins. The Coin symbol drives the Hold & Win round and can land with values from 1x up to 100x, while Colossal Coins carry 500x to 5,000x. Coins land, then drop to the lowest available position when the tumble stops, which matters during the feature. This mix keeps the paytable modest on lines yet capable of spiking through modifiers and coin ladders.

Depths of Fortune Bonus Features

Loaded Reel sits to the left and cycles blanks and Reward symbols upwards on every spin or cascade. The top slot is the Trigger Zone, and only the item reaching it will fire. In the base game I have seen Trigger Zone Expansion that pushes the zone down by one cell, Grid Expansion that grows all reels by up to three rows, multipliers up to 25x applied to the current win, Low Pay Upgrade, plus Wilds and Colossal Wilds added to the grid.

Hit five or more Coins and the Hold & Win kicks in with three lives. Only blanks, Coins and Loaded Reel rewards can appear. Any new Coin resets lives to three, and coins then lock in place. Values range from 1x to 100x for regular coins, with Colossal Coins showing 500x to 5,000x. Extra rewards include Coin Upgrade that raises all visible coin values, Extra Lives up to three, Collect, and Collect and Multiply using a treasure chest.

Xpress sits on the right for those who want straight access to modifiers or the feature. Fully Loaded costs 5x the bet and removes blanks from the Loaded Reel on each spin. Bonus costs 60x and starts with five coins on a 5x4 grid. Bonus Plus costs 120x and starts with six coins on a 5x6 grid. Bonus Premium costs 240x and starts with seven coins on a 5x6 grid. Bonus Max costs 500x and starts with eight coins on a 5x7 grid.

How to Win at Depths of Fortune

Depths of Fortune plays as a ways slot with up to 16,807 ways, paying left to right on adjacent reels. You need three or more matching symbols starting from reel one to land a win, though premium stacks and wilds help to string hits through cascades. The tumble removes winning symbols and drops new ones, which can feed the Loaded Reel into its Trigger Zone. That back and forth is where I have seen feisty sequences grow into tidy payouts.

Depths of Fortune Slot RTP & Volatility

By default, Depths of Fortune runs at 96.01 percent RTP with medium volatility, though some venues may set 94 percent or 90.53 percent. Hit frequency is listed at 28.80 percent, and the bonus game triggers on average once in 204 spins. I found that pairs well with the cadence of cascades and the Loaded Reel nudges, giving bursts of action between steadier patches. Stakes from €0.10 to €100 make it workable for cautious testing or bolder sessions.

The top prize reaches 20,000x the bet, which is sizeable for a medium slot that leans on modifiers and a streak round. Ways can expand from the 5x4 start to a taller grid, and Grid Expansion from the Loaded Reel helps open more lanes. Wilds stepping in and low symbol upgrades add coverage on the base game too. The numbers sit in line with what I expect from AvatarUX, and the cap leaves room for lively coin boards.

Final Verdict on Depths of Fortune

I had hours of fun testing Depths of Fortune. The Loaded Reel puzzled me at first, yet after a few sessions I cycled through every modifier and saw how they swing a round. Base game runs that chain into Grid Expansion and a timely multiplier can lift any spin, and the Hold & Win boards felt varied thanks to chest collects and coin upgrades. It hits a sweet spot between spectacle and controlled variance.

This is one of the better Megaways style releases I have played lately, and I would point both newcomers and seasoned slot fans towards it. The modifiers give enough traction in the base game, the bonus brings proper coin values, and the 20,000x cap keeps the target clear. I would try the demo first, then decide if Xpress buys fit your plan. When the reel syncing flows, the game can be very moreish.
