Soldiers Fortune Slot
It’s very rare that you hear someone say that a soldier has been fortunate unless he has survived a gruelling ordeal, scarred but very much alive. We’ve become so used to this notion that when a slot machine like Soldiers Fortune appears, we can’t help be be drawn to it, our intrigue growing.
Incredibly moody and dark, these 5 reels offer up a sombre tale, but one that promises some cash prizes and bonus features along the way, therefore making the trip into the dank depths of the trenches a lot more bearable.
It’s war torn and on the money when it comes to current affairs, but it’s a far cry from any real danger, meaning we get to sit in our homes and play on our devices, experiencing imagery of battles without having to partake in them. So salute your superiors and lace up those boots, because this PlayPearls offering isn’t a walk in the park, recruit.
Ready, Aim, Fire
When it comes to slot machines, aim won’t get you anywhere for everything is determined by luck, but that won’t stop you from brushing up on those skills of yours. And trust us, skills are needed when war gets as tough as this.
There are up to 20 paylines to work with, though you can choose to have as many active as you’d like, you need only click on the number that suits your needs and the game will configure to comply with it. It should be mentioned at this point though, that while you don’t need to play with all of them, the more you play with the greater your odds of successfully nailing those winning combinations. More is more when it comes to this title.
In regards to placing your first bet, there isn’t much to get your head around before you get started. Simply locate those plus and minus toggles and you’ll be ready to click in your total. The starting bet per line is 0.10, a low first bet everyone can agree, even when placed on every payline, however you can always up the cash-in to a higher 4.00 credits. Although that doesn’t sound like a lot, please remember that that 4.00 is placed on all the lines, and so your punt would be 80.00.
As gaming is always best when it’s immersive, PlayPearls has a full screen toggle just above the help button to ensure that you get the most from your time with them. Even though this is classed as a casual game, the difference between normal screen to full is quite marked, and so we always suggest going for the bigger picture – in this case, bigger is better.
For all you gamers out there that tire of clicking your mouse every time you need to spin, there is a handy auto widget in place for you to take a load off of your fingers and let the software take over. It’s pretty standard among slot machines, but that doesn’t mean it should be overlooked simply because it isn’t unique to the brand. Save your digits and use it.
Spoils of War
What is worth mentioning right from the off is that there is no bonus round for you to unlock, so don’t even try. There is the opportunity to trigger a series of free spins, but that doesn’t move you away from the base game.
If you’re looking to get those spins, you need to find at least three of the corresponding symbol, which is a row of bullets accompanied by the words ‘free spins’ (in case you didn’t know already). Only getting three won’t get you the full amount of rounds, but it’ll start you off with 8 so it isn’t all bad. If you’re seeking the maximum amount, you’ll need five of the tiles to get them.
As seems to be the norm with PlayPearls, that free spins icon is also the most rewarding, gifting you 40.00 every five of them, with the smallest payout down to just 8.00 for three. Thereafter you will want to locate the dog tags as they are the next highest paying tile, though the prizes are just as minute as before; basically, this slot will never have you bagging thousands upon thousands of credits, it’s a small fry but it does a good job being one.
War, What Is it Good for?
Well, not a lot when it comes to this little number; as previously mentioned, the money you can get here is quite small and therefore the title Soldiers Fortune doesn’t feel remotely accurate. Having said that, the game looks great and has fluidity to ensure an exceptional experience. It’s your classic catch-22 case scenario, something is always lacking somewhere.
