Codex of Fortune

The Codex of Fortune slot rescues the charm and subtlety of its predecessor Turn Your Fortune (2019). Art Nouveau returns to the drums in this new version presented in June 2021. Perhaps at first glance, we could believe that it is the same game, but if we look closer we will see that there are subtle changes, which improve the game, giving it more emotion.

In terms of design there has been a certain improvement both in performance and in its graphics, with a change in the background color and in the lower menus. The appeal is growing for those players who are looking to hit a big win, the maximum prize multiplier in the free spins, goes from 2,000x times the bet in the original version, to 10,000x times in the new sequel.

The mysterious cylindrical gadget takes on a new life and will add another two levels, reaching up to 7. Also added to the new game is one more function, Save the Keys, a kind of “bet function” that arrives for the most ambitious players. If you want to play with her you will find her in any online casino New Zealand with NetEnt games catalog.

The Codex of Fortune slot is presented with the same structure as Turn Your Fortune, 5 reels, 4 rows and 40 paylines. Actually, it also keeps the same symbols and much of its design. The Codex of Fortune bets can be adjusted to your liking between $0.20 for the lowest value spin, up to $100 for the highest spin. Keep in mind that its variance has increased and it is considered high volatility. Its theoretical return to the player can vary quite a bit depending on the strategy chosen by the player between 90.2% and 98.0% (RTP).

Among the colorful symbols in the Art Nouveau style of high value, we will find the lion, the highest paid, for 5 of this on the payline and that will report us 10x times the bet. He is followed by the owl, the turtle, the fish and a conch. The group of low-value symbols are the values of the deck of playing cards: A, K, Q and J. As for special symbols we have a beautiful peacock that will be the scatter, the wild symbol represented by a butterfly and the key associated with the special functions, all evident with a careful French modernist style.

The differential touch of this slot series is the Fortune Wins bonus game that is associated with the golden gadget shown to the left of the reels. A kind of cryptex that contains a series of prizes structured in 7 levels and each of them, in 5 steps. As the game progresses, the golden cylinder will reveal the prize achieved.

Fortune Wins can reward us with x10,000 times the bet

The Fortune Wins will come into play when the re-spins feature and/or the free spins round are activated. To climb the steps you will have to accumulate collectible symbols and your account will be taken by a counter located between the gadget and the reels.

To move from one level to another, we will need a key symbol to appear between the reels, which will spin the Fortune Wins, making the prizes potentially increase in value.

The Fortune Re-Spins feature can be activated with the scatter symbols, but only if you have also achieved a winning combination during the spin. To do this you will need to get 2 or 3 scatter symbols in any position on reels 1, 3 and/or 5. With the latter case, we will also be able to activate the free spins that will start at the end of the re-spins.

While the Re-Spins are running, only key symbols and collectible symbols that will remain fixed in the position they occupy until the end of the Fortune Re-Spins can appear on the reels. The collectible symbol will be the winner of the winning combination and if there is more than one, the one with the highest win on the game's paytable will be the chosen one. Every time you fill the meter with 5 collectible symbols, you will go up one step in the Fortune Wins . The key symbol allows you to make a bigger jump in the Fortune Wins, it will spin it and level up.

The extra Re-Spins spins will happen whenever new collectible symbols and/ or key symbols fall, if not, the round will end, in the same way that it will end if you accumulate 20 collectible symbols. This indicates that in the Re-Spins the maximum prize that we can reach with the Fortune Wins will be of x200 the value of the bet .

One of the novelties of the Codex of Fortune online slot versus its predecessor is the appearance of the Save the Keys function. At the time of finishing the Fortune Re-Spins and if during the round any symbol of the key has been obtained, the Save the Keys function will ask if you want to save the keys won to apply them later, at the time of activating the free spins round or if you want to use them and receive the prize achieved with the Fortune Wins.

If the player decides to keep the keys to apply them later, the level of the Re-spins will be reset to level 1. The count of stored keys is kept in a key-shaped counter, located between the golden Codex and the reels.

It is important to note that, if you decide to change the value of the bets, the key counter will be reset. But you will be able to recover the stored ones by returning to the previous bet value with which you stored the keys. The Save the Keys function gives the player some control over the type of game he wants to focus on and it is, after all, a betting function. Prefer bird in hand or the risk of waiting to trigger the free spins round to get a bigger prize. One option or another will vary the RTP percentage of the game.

It is a challenge and a joy for all players to get the free spins round of their favorite slots activated. Although we can say that in the Codex of Fortune slot it takes on another dimension due to the great potential of profit that can be taken. To activate it you will need to collect 3 scatter symbols on the reels. If you have saved keys it will be time to apply them. A maximum of 3 can be applied to raise the level of the Fortune Wins, if you have more, the rest will be preserved.

Before the start of the round, a 3-level roulette wheel will appear that will decide the number of free spins that we are going to win (between 7 and 13), the collectible symbol and the number of keys (between 0,1, or 2). The free spins round starts at level 2, to which we will also have to apply the won and saved keys. Every 20 collectible symbols we will level up. In the round there is a special collectible symbol that will add +10 to the counter . If during the round we get scatter symbols we will add additional spins.
