Theme and Symbols

The narrative that is built into this game we believe is that you have discovered a grumpy old giant who lives in a castle who refuses to share his wealth with the village people.

The background for Giant’s Fortune is the giant’s castle set in a beautiful natural environment. From the perspective of the player, you can see a winding path that crosses over the castle’s mote and leads to the drawbridge.

Features

There are quite a few features for this game so why don’t we just dive in.
The first feature for this game is the cascading reels feature. This feature is activated when players score a winning combination. The winning symbols are removed from the board and immediately replaced by a new set from above to try and find another win from the same spin. This feature continues until the new set does not trigger a win.

Next on the feature list is the Sticky Wilds Bonus. This means that if any wilds are visible at the end of a spin, they will become sticky and stay for the next spin. These special wilds can also appear in the free spins game when they will stay indefinitely until the free spins are exhausted.

Easily the most complex bonus for this game is the Egg Collector Bonus. To activate this feature, you must land 4 or more of the egg bonus symbols on the reels at the same time. However, if the Super Stake feature is in play, you only need 3. Once the feature is triggered, each of the eggs used to activate the bonus will transform into a multiplier value and you will be given 3 free spins. If new egg bonus symbols fall whilst you are playing this feature, then your spins are reset to 3. In this game there are only 3 symbols that can fall onto the reels, these are:

The Bet Multiplier: Adds a random multiplier value to the symbol.
The Adder: Will add its bet multiplier to all other symbols.
The Collector: Will add all other bet multipliers in view to its total.

If you complete a row with bet multiplier values, it will add an extra symbol to the row. If you extend all 6 reels by a position and fill them with multipliers, the bonus ends and you are paid out a 10,000x your stake win.

Lastly, there is the free spins feature. To activate this bonus, players must land 4 or more of the scatter symbols on the same spin. This gives you 12 free spins. Extra scatters that land grant players another 3 spins.
This bonus round starts with a win multiplier attached to your scores of 1x. For every win that you land, the multiplier will grow by 1x. There is no upper limit to the size of the multiplier you can build.

Conclusion

With a great win potential, a decent RTP and a super fun theme, this game seems to have it all. The only slightly worrying factor to consider in playing this game is that it is wildly volatile, so it could be quite some time before any features are triggered. Then again, these high-risk high reward slots are often structured like this.
