Play Rise of Fortuna For Real Prizes
Rise of Fortuna Review
Hacksaw Gaming has been spinning wheels on reels since SixSixSix, and Rise of Fortuna is the third pass at the formula after Pray For Six. The mechanical core is unchanged: Fortuna symbols land on the grid, activate 12-segment wheels, and feed their prizes into a Cash Prize Bar that pays out as a multiple of your bet. What’s changed is the audience. Where the “Six” games leaned on demons, monochrome grit, and punishing math, this one swaps in a Roman goddess, a medium volatility rating, and a far gentler temperament.
That repositioning is the whole story. The 10,000x max win sits on a wheel segment and can theoretically land on any spin, base game included, which gives the jackpot chase a directness most slots lack. But the math has been deliberately softened, and longtime Hacksaw players will feel the difference within a session. Whether that’s a downgrade or exactly the point depends on which side of the studio’s catalogue you usually play.
Pros
- 10,000x max win lives on a wheel segment and can hit instantly, even on a base game spin
- Wheel prizes collect into a visible Cash Prize Bar, so you always know exactly what a spin is worth
- Three escalating bonus tiers, with all-Super/Epic wheels at tier two and 3 guaranteed wheels per spin at tier three
- Medium volatility makes this the most approachable entry in Hacksaw's wheel series
Cons
- Softer math model will bore players who came to Hacksaw for the extreme end of the catalogue
- The Cash Prize Bar resets after every spin, so nothing builds between spins
- Line pays are an afterthought, topping out at 10x for five wilds; the wheels do all the real work
- Multiple RTP models exist (96.28% down to 86.33%), so check the paytable where you play
- Little genuine evolution over its two predecessors beyond the friendlier tuning
Gameplay
Rise of Fortuna is a medium volatility 5×4 slot from Hacksaw Gaming with 14 paylines, a 96.28% RTP on the highest model, and a 10,000x max win. Line wins are secondary. The engine that matters is the Fortuna Wheel: Fortuna symbols can land on reels 1, 3, and 5 (one per reel), and after line wins resolve, each one spins a 12-segment wheel in place. Segments hold additive multipliers that add to the Cash Prize Bar, multiplicative multipliers that multiply it, or one of four jackpots (Mini 25x, Major 100x, Mega 500x, and the 10,000x Max Win). Wheels come in Regular, Super, and Epic grades with progressively better value ranges. With up to three wheels on screen chaining additive and multiplicative values into one pot, a single spin can escalate quickly. The bar pays out and resets after every spin. Three free spins tiers and five buy options round out the package.
How To Play
- Set your bet between 0.10 and 100.00.
- Land matching symbols left to right across any of the 14 paylines.
- Fortuna symbols on reels 1, 3, and 5 activate wheels after line wins are paid.
- Wheel values collect in the Cash Prize Bar, which pays as a multiple of your bet at the end of the spin.
- 3, 4, or 5 scatters trigger the Lucky Charm, She Who Spins, or Fortune is Blind bonus games.
- Use the buy menu to boost spins or jump straight into a bonus round.
Bonus Symbols
- Fortuna symbol (Regular Wheel): Spins a 12-segment wheel holding additive multipliers of 5x to 100x or multiplicative multipliers of x2 to x20, applied to the Cash Prize Bar.
- Super Fortuna symbol: Same wheel format with better ranges: additive 10x to 100x, multiplicative x3 to x20.
- Epic Fortuna symbol: The top grade: additive 25x to 100x, multiplicative x5 to x20.
- Jackpot segments: Any wheel can carry a jackpot segment worth Mini (25x), Major (100x), Mega (500x), or Max Win (10,000x), added straight to the Cash Prize Bar.
- Wild: Appears on all reels, substitutes for every paying symbol, and pays 10x for five on a line, the highest line pay in the game.
- FS Scatter: 3, 4, or 5 trigger the bonus games. During any bonus, landing 2 or 3 scatters awards +2 or +4 extra spins.

- Fortuna’s Favor FeatureSpins (75x bet): Guarantees at least 1 Fortuna Wheel triggers on the spin.
- Roll the Dice FeatureSpins (500x bet): Guarantees 3 Super or Epic wheels, each carrying a 500x jackpot segment.
Feature Buys (skip straight to a bonus round):
- Lucky Charm buy (50x bet): Go directly to the 10-spin first tier.
- She Who Spins buy (250x bet): Go directly to the all-Super/Epic second tier. Fortune is Blind cannot be bought; the only way in is landing 5 scatters.
SweepsPlays Verdict
- Worth playing if you like a visible jackpot chase without the brutal dry spells Hacksaw is known for. The wheel mechanic is transparent, the Cash Prize Bar math is easy to follow, and the medium volatility keeps sessions moving.
- Skip it if you’re here for the studio’s extreme side. This is SixSixSix with the edges sanded off, and the softer model means the big moments hit less hard and less often at the top end.
- On the buy menu, the 50x Lucky Charm is the sensible entry point. Roll the Dice at 500x guarantees three Super or Epic wheels with 500x jackpot segments attached, the closest thing to a direct shot at the top prizes.
- A refinement rather than a step forward, but a well-judged one for casual players and grinders who want Hacksaw’s wheel formula at a friendlier temperature.
