Cresus Fortunes: Conclusion

iSoftBet took us on a journey to the origins of modern-day currency with Cresus Fortunes. The slot works fluently and the overall design with the symbols to match the ancient Greece idea hit the nail on the head.

There are a couple slots with coin collect bonuses, in this case being diamonds, but Cresus Fortunes having multiple upgrading functions help it to stand out. Same goes for the random modifiers in the base game. Without these modifiers the base game could have been boring since there is not much to a slot with 20 lines if that wouldn’t be the case.

So, what do we think about Cresus Fortunes? Being a medium volatility slot, it could be your next go to place if you´re trying to beat your wager. It is a solid game with some exciting moments in the Re-Spins feature and only because it is a medium volatility slot does not mean it can’t pay, the maxwin of 8,320x is still very convincing. We enjoyed playing Cresus Fortunes and appreciate it for not being just another slot with a coin collect feature.
