Nero’s Fortune slot review (Quickspin)

Nero’s Fortune is a beautiful Quickspin cluster pays slot, which takes you back to the era of Roman emperor Nero

Whether that’s a good thing remains to be seen. Emperor Nero is best known as the emperor who lost his mind and was dancing when his city of Rome was ablaze.

In any case, the eerie atmosphere works perfectly for Nero’s Fortune. The dramatic opera music, the visual effects, and the design; everything ties together beautifully: this Quickspin video slot is a real masterpiece.

Also, Nero’s Fortune offers a lot of features and high potential:

• Avalanche (falling) symbols
• Maximum win of 8,100 x the total bet
• High variance
• Progressive multipliers and free spins

Nero’s Fortune gameplay and features

Nero’s Fortune is a cluster pays slot: you make a winning combination by creating clumps of 5 or more of the same symbols.

The game is played on a 5 x 5 matrix, with a bet range from 20 cents up to $€ 100 per spin.

Winning combinations disappear and make way for new ones that fall into place. This way, you can create multiple winning combinations in a row.

The theoretical slot payout rate is a neat 96.21%. You can win a maximum of 8,100 x the total bet.

Symbols and payouts

The eagle is the wild symbol, replacing all symbols except the scatters.

The highest paying symbol is the red diamond. These payout 2 x the total bet for a cluster of 5 identical symbols. This increases as the cluster grows, up to a maximum of 150 x the bet (with a cluster of 12 or more).

Then there are the three shields. These premium symbols are worth a maximum of between 10 x and 50 x the total bet.

As per usual, we conclude these sum ups with the card symbols. These low-value symbols, the J, Q, K, and A, are worth the least: between 3 x and 7 x the bet in a cluster of 12 or more of the same symbols.

Flames of Nero

After a winning combination, our friend Emperor Nero can decide to shoot some burning arrows on the reels just because he feels like it. An emperor also needs a past time to conquer boredom.

Those arrows leave an “x” on the reels. The moment a winning cluster drops on such an “x” (or on more than one), each x creates a +1 multiplier.

This multiplier is only reset once the winning combinations have stopped.

Free spins bonus

3, 4 or 5 scatters will award you 10, 12 or 14 free spins, respectively.

These free spins can NOT be retriggered.

During the free spins, you have two important boosters:

• Every spin Flames of Nero will be fired.
• The multiplier is never reset and can, therefore, only grow.

For example, it can happen that during a spin, you see a considerable growth of your multiplier in one fell swoop while also grabbing bigger and bigger payouts because of the avalanche symbols.

Our verdict of Nero’s Fortune

Thumbs up or down? That is the question, in the true style that determined the fate of gladiators of ancient Rome.

Quickspin has released a beautiful, cool, and above all, exciting slot with Nero’s Fortune.

The bonus rounds can reward you abundantly thanks to the progressive multipliers and the permanent Flames of Nero.
