In the dark of the Cave of Fortune, players will find both diamonds and gold as well as treasure chests full of hidden riches. Cave of Fortune is one of the newest releases from the innovative BF Games studio. It is a fun cartoon mining theme game with exciting features, beautiful graphics and a solid RTP.

Speaking of bonus features, Cave of Fortune spoils players with a truly expansive range of content. These bonuses include the Nitro Collector feature, which counts how many bottles of Nitrous Oxide that you collect on a reel. When you manage to rack up 3 on a reel, the reel becomes persistently wild for the next 3 spins. Other features include this game’s free spins round, the Grand Jackpot feature and the Explode feature. This last feature adds a random number of bomb symbols to the reels which explode, causing new wins to be formed as symbols are wiped off the reels.

Theme and Symbols

The theme for this slot as we have established in the introduction is a mining one. The whole game takes place underground, where a network of mine shafts has been created to explore the various caves full of natural resources and most importantly, gemstones. The overall feel of this slot is kind of Disney-like, in that the animations and graphics are all detailed but in that way that cartoon animations are made to look realistic. The overall effect is quite captivating.

The background for Cave of Fortune is the cave itself, which is coloured in a glowing blue hue, perhaps because it is reflecting an underground aquifer. To the left of the reel’s players will be able to see the mine’s entrance. Leading up to the entrance is a set of railroad tracks, indicating that minecarts are used to transport the ore out of the mine. To the right is an extremely detailed hanging candle lamp, which gives us a clue as to the period that we are supposed to be inhabiting for this game. Above the playing window is a huge aperture that looks to be the portal to the surface.

The playing board is quite clever in its design, as it has been made to look like a board of hanging lanterns. At the very top of the reels are the nitro collector indicators, shaped in the style of the bottles that they represent. Underneath them are the symbols which are held on what looks like a metallic string/chain, continuing the mining theme.

There are 11regular paying symbols for this game and a few special symbols. The lowest value regular symbols for Cave of Fortune are the A-9 in card royals, each of which has been carved to look like it has been formed into a pendant of stone. The other 5 regular symbols are part of the higher paying tier. These are represented by five jewels of various colours. The most valuable of these is the white gem symbol that looks like a diamond. This symbol pays out at 1.66x your stake for five on a pay line. This is the only symbol that will pay out for just two on a pay line. The specials for this game comprise the treasure chest, the goblin wild, the nitro bottle and the bomb symbol. Each of these symbols has its relevance to a feature, as we will explain later in the review.

Game Play

Cave of Fortune is played on a 5-reel, 3-row playing board with 30 fixed available pay lines.

The only exception to this rule as mentioned is the white diamond symbol, you only need two of those on a pay line to score a win. To change your betting level per spin, use the bet adjuster tool located at the bottom of the playing window.

Features

There are 4 tremendous bonus features for this game. The first is called the Nitro Collector bonus and concerns the small bottles of blue liquid that land on the reels. As you’ll notice, above each reel is an empty bottle with a counter on it, these are the nitro collector meters. Every time a nitro bottle falls on a reel, the meter above it will collect it. Collect 3 of these bottles on one reel and that reel will turn completely wild for 3 spins. Nitro bottles can also land as multiples of themselves to help you trigger the bonus faster.

If you somehow manage to make all reels wild using the nitro bottles, you will be paid a 200x stake instant win before all wilds are removed. This bonus can be triggered in both the base game and free spins round.

The second bonus is the free spins bonus. To activate this feature, players much land 3 of the treasure chest scatters on the reels at the same time. You will be awarded 10 free spins for 3 scatters landed, 15 for four scatters and 20 for 5 scatters. Landing additional scatters in this round will grant you extra spins.

Next on the feature list is the Grand Jackpot feature. This feature is visible only in the free spins round where a grand jackpot meter is randomly added to the playing window. Every nitro bottle that lands add 1,2 or 3 to this meter. Filling the meter will award you with a jackpot of 500x your stake.

Lastly, there is the Explode feature. This feature can be triggered on any random free spin when the number on the Grand Nitro Meter is 3 or more. When it comes into play, several bomb symbols will land on the board and explode, causing new combinations to be made.

Conclusion

Besides looking great, this slot also has several enticing features that should draw players in from all around. The nitro bonus especially is very exciting as its multiplier rewards can add up to some great top prizes. Apart from that, the slot is built well and plays like a dream.
