108 Heroes Multiplier Fortunes

Sometimes it’s nice to lean back, relax, and enjoy a simpler type of slot. We love the various special features, the unique reel structures and fun new paylines more than anyone, but going back to basics feels nice from time to time, much like visiting the place you grew up after being gone for a while. 108 Heroes Multiplier Fortunes offers the best of both world approach. With 3 reels and 9 paylines, there’s hardly a lot of room for a lot of special features and it reminds us of old physical machines we used to play on. But it doesn’t keep things to just spinning the reels – it offers a multiplier Wild to those lucky enough to draw them. And you will be happy to see them, we have no doubt, as they are key to winning big in this game.

When it comes to visuals, there’s really not a lot to see. The reels themselves don’t even take up the center of the screen, which is somewhat interesting, but not nearly as distracting as you would think. Mostly due to the fact that the only thing left is a fancy logo to the right, and a dark red background with white-red flower patterns drawn on top. As such, there’s not much happening in this slot for graphics. It looks nice, but it’s nothing impressive.
However, the big attention to the Heroes and multipliers is well deserved. As both the big logo on the right, and the name that’s a bit too long for comfort no doubt draw attention, the fortunes only come when you make one of the four heroes appear. Most of them can only appear in the middle reel, act as a Wild on top of that, and cause a re-spin after they appear once. And as you might expect, this Microgaming game is firmly centered around it, to the point where any wins outside of it are rather minuscule.

Of course, this being a Microgaming release, the wins soon drop off in value from the highest. The biggest win is a 5x multiplier flanked by two 2x multipliers, which grants a score of $100,000 at the highest bet of $150, which is an 666x win, so we suppose we should call an exorcist if we ever get lucky enough to win this. The values start dropping after that to 333x, 233x and 166x stake for all multiplier wins paired with another multiplier. In contrast, the biggest single win you can get without any multiplier is 2.7x, so hope you can put the multipliers together, or kiss your chance to turn a profit goodbye.

While 5 reel slots and many others have since moved on from using bars and sevens, they’re still a common thing to see in most 3 reel titles even today. 108 Heroes Multiplier Fortunes is no exception to this either, as most of them appear to be stuck paying homage to physical machines on which they were rather popular. It does feel a bit odd seeing such symbols stacked next to Chinese people in heroic poses, but we suppose there are odder things we have seen.
Beyond that, the game only has one bonus to speak of. The Microgaming 2017 release boasts Wild multipliers, which can only appear in the middle of the reel, except for the 2x multiplier which can appear anywhere. These are your main money makers, as we mentioned above, and to top it off, each multiplier that appears comes with a single re-spin, which makes them a rather lucrative thing to catch if you can.
