Fortune Pike Gold - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Fortune Pike Gold slot review

Welcome to our Fortune Pike Gold slot review, where we will reveal every exciting detail of this Foxium free slot. The five reels are set in a mine and have all kinds of interesting treasures on the 20 paylines. With multiple bonus games for you to trigger, including free spins, Fortune Pike Gold is really worth your time.

Dig down

The point of a mine is to dig up precious materials, often gold and gems. The point of a video slot is to find precious winning symbols, often including gold and gems. It therefore seems only natural that developers would set their slots in mines.

Mining-themed slots also provide the opportunity for an incredibly atmospheric setting. In Fortune Pike Gold, you can journey down into the dark, heavy rock and earth with just a narrow rail track and a precarious-looking cart to carry you through. Add a dwarven miner, in this case the utterly engaging character of Lucky Dinky, and there is an exciting fantasy twist.

Bring treasure up

Is it worth travelling into the dangerous depths of the Fortune Pike slot? Well, these transparent reels are full of gems, each with its own gleaming lustre. There is also dynamite, which may make you a little nervous but adds to the excitement and improves your chance of finding treasure, as does other mining equipment such as lamps and axes. These are all drawn in 3D with breathtaking detail.

We would be remiss not to mention the soundtrack, which borrows a little from the Oompa-Loompa’s theme in Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. It is an intriguing, adventurous tune and makes for a very lively slot when combined with the highly entertaining animations.

Fortune Pike Gold RTP and variance

When we played the Fortune Pike Gold slot, it had a return to player of 94.15 per cent. This is not great; however, we hasten to remind you that slots are unpredictable, devious creatures, especially in cases like this where casinos can adjust the RTP. If you play in free demo mode here at Slots Temple, the returns don’t matter so much.

You may find some relief from the medium balance, meaning there should be a fair division between the size and frequency of wins. It is steadier than the highly volatile of games such as the Big Bass Bonanza slot.

How to win at Fortune Pike Gold

When you are playing the base game in the Fortune Pike slot, your aim is to create a sequence of three to five matching symbols, or just two in a row if higher paying. They must match from left to right on one of the 20 paylines. As with many slots, you do this whilst spinning five reels and hoping they land favourably.

Top wins

• Many slots use gems as a generic way to pad out the paytable; however, in a mining game, they obviously fit the theme. They are still the lowest-paying symbols, with a max bet multiplier of 2.5x.
• Of the regular symbols, the most valuable is the mining cart with its 12.5x win multiplier.
• You have both a bonus and scatter symbol to add extra spice with the Fortune Pike Gold bonus features.
• Using the boost button increases both the bet and the payout potential.
• The max win is 10,000x.

Bet range

Open the bet window of the Fortune Pike Gold slot for a bet range of 0.20 to 25.00.

Fortune Pike Gold bonuses

Some of our favourite features in the world of slots appear in Fortune Pike Gold, including a free spins bonus, a hold and spin game, and random wilds.

Free spins

Find the scatter symbol three times to be awarded ten free spins. Two more spins result from two more scatters during the round.

Dynamite rush

This hold and spin game is triggered by six dynamite symbols. You will receive five spins, during which more dynamite bonus symbols land and are held in place. They can then form shapes, from the most basic 1x1 with a 1x multiplier to the full 3x5 with a 10,000x total win multiplier.

Fortune Pike Gold review: our verdict

Fun and atmospheric, with great graphics and sound, the Fortune Pike Gold slot is an inviting game to play. Its free spins bonus is fairly simple, but the hold and spin feature is unlike other slots thanks to the dynamite shapes.
