Axe of Fortune Slot Review

Axe of Fortune Free Demo Game

Axe of Fortune from Belatra Games throws me straight into a Viking raid mood, with heavy metal sound and chunky symbols on a 5x3 grid. The free demo plays exactly like the real money slot, so I can test the high volatility and see how the bonus works before risking cash. I usually spin the demo on my phone first, checking how smooth the reels feel and how often the features show.

The stated RTP sits at 95.94 percent, which I regard as fair for a slot that can reach wins of up to 9999 times stake in the Golden Axes feature. Regular spins cap out at around 3000 times stake, so the big paydays tend to sit in the bonus. With bets ranging from 10 to 2500 credits, I treat it as a slot for stronger bankrolls and patient play.

Lines in Axe of Fortune

Axe of Fortune runs on 10 fixed paylines, paying only from left to right, so I always keep all lines active and focus on adjusting the stake. The game sticks to standard video slot rules, paying just the highest win on each line, while scatters pay anywhere. That setup keeps the base game quite straightforward, which I like, as it lets me gauge hit rate and variance without odd pay directions.

Bonus Axes And Golden Axes in Axe of Fortune

Three or more scatter symbols anywhere on the reels trigger the axe throwing bonus, which is where Axe of Fortune really comes alive for me. When I land three or four scatters, I get the regular Bonus Axes round with a win potential up to 3000 times my bet. Hitting five scatters in one spin upgrades the feature to Golden Axes, where the possible payout jumps up towards 9999 times stake.

In the bonus, I throw virtual axes at wooden targets, each target linked to one digit of the final prize. The leftmost target sets the lowest digit, then each target to the right sets the next one, building a number from nought to nine on each hit. Once all targets are struck, or the axe misses, or sticks in the snow, the digits combine and get multiplied by my triggering bet.

I often use the Buy feature when it is offered in my region, since buying straight into the bonus skips the dry spells that can come with high volatility. The cost is steep, so I only do that with a solid session budget. Whether triggered naturally or bought, the axe game feels tense, as a single throw can swing the total win from a small payout to something serious.

Pros & Cons of Axe of Fortune

From my perspective, Axe of Fortune scores well on several fronts: the buy bonus option, solid 95.94 percent RTP and max win potential that climbs towards 9999 times stake in Golden Axes. The Viking design looks clean and the sound suits longer sessions. On the downside, volatility rated around four out of five means long dry stretches, so I treat it as a high risk slot rather than casual entertainment.

Axe of Fortune Paytable and Symbols

Axe of Fortune uses a classic mix of picture icons and card ranks, backed by a strong wild symbol that substitutes for most others. Landing five wilds on a line pays 500 times stake, four pay 100 times, and three pay 30 times, so I always watch where those land. Scatters do not need lines at all, as they pay in any position and also trigger the axe bonus feature.

The top regular symbol pays up to 200 times stake for five of a kind, while the next tier comes in at 50 times and 10 times for full lines. Lower picture and card symbols sit around 12 times, 5 times or even 3 times stake for five symbols, with smaller payouts for four or three. That spread gives me a steady trickle of minor hits while I wait for the wilds or scatters.
