Diego Fortune

Diego Fortune is about the conquistador Gonzales, venturing deep into the forgotten rainforests in search of a fortune. The game reminds me slightly of Gonzo’s Quest slot, though similarities seem to end with the common theme. Free games, animated graphics, medium volatility and extra wilds will keep you spinning for a good while.

Theme

The game is set somewhere in the forgotten and rainforest covered temples of South America. Three ancient godheads and styled card values from ten to ace form the baseline of paying symbols. Gonzales and his helmet function as a wild, whereas scatter is present as a treasure chest. A forgotten map will lead you to a bonus game whereas calendar symbols accumulate into super spins. The jungle comes alive all around the reels, with Diego seeking fortunes via animated sequences. Jungle noises and thematic drum music keeps the atmosphere excited. Hardly ever you come across a slot with such a well-done theme.

Betting Options and Functions

Twenty fixed paylines along five reels are subject to the line bet, which can range anywhere from 0.01 to 5 coins. The maximum bet is one hundred coins per spin. The calendar icons on top of the reels are subject to bet level, which you should keep steady or you risk losing bonus games. Other than this there’s not much to do, though bonus games, in turn, will give you plenty of options to move around. You can also toggle autoplay as well as faster spins. The latter is a welcome addition, especially when playing with a low bet.

Three to five symbols from left to right trigger winning combinations, with payouts ranging from five to one thousand times your line bet.

Features

Wilds appear on reels two and four, and substitute all other symbols except bonus and scatter. Three scatters will pay out five times your total bet, and also grant fifteen free spins. Three bonus symbols, in turn, award you with the bonus feature. Here you get to move around uncharted territories, claiming any lost treasures as your own.

The calendar symbols accumulate from reels one, three and five. Once full four respins are triggered. On the first spin only 2nd and 4th reel are spun, on the second respin first, second and fourth, on the third reels one to four, and on the fourth, all reels spin again.

During all of these wilds feature on the reel quite often, Diego himself throwing them on the second and fourth reel. All features stack up coins with amazing speed.

Our Take

Diego Fortune might look like Gonzo’s Quest but the slot plays out differently. It easily stands out on its own. This is something that might easily come your new favorite game. Though the game is medium volatility it has found a balance between wins and losses, and whenever you hit a combination you get meaningful wins. The wilds, free spins, and bonus features can easily trigger super-wins. This one is worth the money!
