Gears of Fortune Slot

A unique twist on trivia games and quizzes, Gears of Fortune is a mobile device compatible Gamevy skill based casino game with a wheel of fortune gameplay structure and $1 to $50 betting range. As you progress in the game, the stakes will be increased in accordance with your level, potentially resulting in 100,000% bet increase, depending on your luck and general knowledge.

Once the bets are placed, the players will spin the wheel and keep the fingers crossed it does not land on one of the hazardous fields. There are 6 set of icons, including the said Hazard symbol, placed on the total of 38 wheel positions. Each set of symbols will produce a payout depending on the number of icons you manage to land.

An extra perk of Gears of Fortune slot is the Trivia part; apart from collecting the symbols, the players can also unlock the quiz section when the wheel stops on the Key icon. A question will then pop up and the players will test their general knowledge and answer by selecting one of the two options.

Who Is It For?

The game is designed for all those who like applying actual skills and knowledge to their gameplay, rather than simply relying on chance. If you are the type of player who enjoys a bit of a challenge, Gears of Fortune is a perfect mixture of luck, generous payouts, and good, old-fashioned pop quiz. All that studying is finally starting to pay off!

Why Is It So Good?

Apart from the maximum payout of $100,000 which is likely to be the primary motive for the majority of players, Gear of Fortunes will keep you entertained on multiple levels. As you collect the symbols, you will keep one eye on the Hazard symbols and one eye in the Key icons – this is probably the most exciting part of the game, as any correct answer will lead you closer to the jackpot prize. After a successfully completed question round, the players will receive a Bronze, Silver, Gold or a Platinum Medal.

At least three Medals must be collected for the Bonus Booster to be applied, with Platinum being the highest value icon, producing a payout of 100,000%. The value of other medals is 2,500% for the Bronze, 5,000% for the Silver, and 10,000% for the Golden symbol. Also, the questions are fairly easy, but even if you don’t know the answer, there will still be time to google it before the countdown ends.

Why It’s Not

After a while, you will find yourself a bit bored in between the Trivia sessions. As the wheel is spinning and the symbols are being collected, a sneaky feeling of idleness will crawl over you.

Interestingly enough, the same thing will usually not happen when you spin the reels of a regular slot – in this case, however, the concept turned out to be the double-edged sword. The same thing that makes the game unique has made the rest of the gameplay virtually non-existent.

Bottom Line

Gear of Fortune slot machine is definitely a nice change of pace and an amusing variation of the traditional wheel of fortune. By combining the elements of Trivia games and slots, it will provide you with several layers of entertainment, although there is a noticeable lack of action and a somewhat passive note, as you are waiting to strike that Key icon. Possibly not the best choice for the players who prefer more dynamic or “eventful” games.
