Codex of Fortune Slot Review
Fans of all things cylindrical will be happy to learn that Turn Your Fortune, an older game from developer NetEnt has undergone a significant makeover. Well, we say major, but generally speaking, it is difficult to distinguish between the Codex of Fortune and its predecessor. However, some minor math model modifications, the addition of a new feature, and a relaxation of its maximum win limits have turned a poor game into one that could potentially appeal to a more picky group of gamblers. The visuals are a little bit sharper than in Turn Your Fortune, but the primary distinction is only a simple change in backdrop colour. The midnight blue of Codex of Fortune replaces the burgundy of Turn Your Fortune there. The typeface and the symbols share a vaguely French Art Nouveau design, thus there aren't really any noticeable visual contrasts.

Codex of Fortune Features
Wild Symbol. Wilds can be shown on any place on the game field and stand for any symbols, but not for the Scatter symbols, Key symbols and +10 symbols.
Fortune Wins. In Fortune Re-Spins and Free Spins, the 7-level Fortune Wins is a bonus win game. Every level has 5 steps that give you more chances to win. The players start at the lowest level and move up by gathering symbols on the game field. In case the Key symbol is shown on the game field, the feature goes up by one level. All the wins from the feature are enlarged, including the win from the current step.
Fortune Re-Spins. In case there are 2 Scatters and a win on a bet line in the main game, this feature with the Fortune Wins feature is activated. In this feature, the symbol you can collect is the winning symbol. On the game field, only the symbols you can collect and the Key symbols are shown. All symbols that can be collected remain on the game field until the end of the feature and are picked up to fill the Fortune Wins counter. In case the counter has 5 spaces filled, the players move up the Fortune Wins by one level. The feature ends when no Key symbols or collectable symbols are shown on the game field during a feature or when 20 collectable symbols have been collected. At the end of the feature, players can:
• use the Keys won and receive the achieved win from the Fortune Wins
• reload the Fortune Wins to level 1 and use the Keys you won in Free Spins instead.
Free Spins. The feature with Fortune Wins is started when you get 3 Scatters in the main game. During the feature, each new Scatter gives you one more spin. Before the feature starts, players stop the three-tiered Wheel. When the Wheel stops, the position of its point shows how many Free Spins you win (7 to 13), which symbol you can collect during the feature, and how many extra Keys you need to level up the Fortune Wins. During the feature, the Fortune Wins counter fills up with all the symbols that can be collected and are shown on the game field. With the special +10 symbol, the metre fills up by 10. When the metre has 20 spaces on it, the players move up the Fortune Wins one step.
Save the Key Feature. In this feature, players can choose to save the Keys they win during Fortune Re-Spins instead of using them to level up their Fortune Wins. If they do, the Fortune Wins level goes back to 1, they get a win from the step they reached, and they can use the Keys they saved instead of getting new ones at the start of Free Spins. Before Free Spins start, players who have saved Keys can choose to use up to three of them to level up the Fortune Wins.
Our Experience Playing Codex of Fortune
We did a standard 300 spins test with a bet of 1 EUR and a sum of 200 EUR. The first 100 spins paid us a max payout of 10 times the bet. For the first hundred spins, we lost 40 EUR. From the next 100 spins, we received a maximum win of 5 times the stack. We managed to land 3 Scatters three times. The first time we got an extra Key on the bonus wheel and in the end we were able to get 57 times the bet per round. The second time we were able to get 25 times the bet. For the third time, we managed to launch Re-Spin before Free Spins and get 11 times the bet there and an increased multiplier. This gave us the opportunity to get 110 times the bet for the third round of Free Spins. For the second hundred spins, we received 150 EUR. The third hundred gave us maximum wins of 6 times the bet. As a result of 300 spins, we won 87 EUR.
Codex of Fortune Slot Verdict
In theory, everything can seem a little complicated, but in practice, everything is fairly simple. Codex of Fortune mainly includes landing scatters to start respins or Free Spins with the goal of collecting keys and collectable symbols to raise rewards from the Fortune Wins machine. If you've ever played Turn Your Fortune, you know exactly how it works. Do you take the win or bank? That's where the Save the Keys function comes into play. One jarring distinction between the two games is potential. Turn Your Fortune was capable of a passable total of 2,000 times the stake - not great, but also nothing particularly amazing. In contrast, Codex of Fortune increases that sum to 10,000 times the current bet, a quantity much more likely to draw attention. In the end, Codex of Fortune is maybe more interesting for players who disapproved of Turn Your Fortune. However, other than the significantly higher maximum wins, the rest of the game remains the same.
