Revolution: Patriot’s Fortune Slot

Revolution: Patriot’s Fortune is a 5 reel, 20 payline slot from Blueprint Gaming. The revolution in question is the American battle for independence from Britain. Full of 18th century revolutionary imagery, it comes with expanding wilds and a bonus that awards up to 30 free spins complete with Burning Reels. Stakes here range from between 10p and £10 per spin.

Enter the battlefield

Blueprint’s slots are usually well-designed and Revolution: Patriot’s Fortune is up to the usual high standards. Set against a battlefield backdrop, you’ll see Yankee rebels in battle with British redcoats. On the reels are playing card symbols as well as a drum, pistol, cannon and wagon. The top paying symbol is the soldier which pays 50 x bet if you land 5 on a payline.

Expanding Wilds

Appearing on all reels is the general which is the wild. Looking not unlike a comic book Mel Gibson, this symbol expands to fill the whole reel whenever it appears. It replaces everything apart from the scatter (the bugle) too. This could lead to 5 wild reels which would in turn pay 1,000 x bet in total.

Free spins with wild extras

If you land 3, 4 or 5 bugles anywhere on the reels on the same spin you’ll trigger the Free Spins feature. After a payout of 2, 20 or 50 times your bet, you’ll go on to play 15 free spins. In keeping with the revolutionary theme, they’re played out on an explosive new set of reels.

Burning Reels

Land an expanding wild during the free spins and it activates the Burning Reels feature. The lower value royal value symbols are removed and replaced by new, more rewarding symbols. A new payout calculation then takes place. It’s possible to land multiple stacked wilds on the same free spin which can create some incendiary combinations. You can also win a further 15 free spins.

Fiery action – 1,000 x bet wins

As you might expect from a slot with the revolutionary theme and a feature called Burning Reels, we found the action here to be pretty fiery. The Free Spins feature can be rewarding but expect spells when your bankroll will go up in flames.

Add the classy visuals and sweeping orchestral score into the mix and you have a very playable all-rounder. High variance, you can win 1,000 x bet on each spin or free spin – this is made more likely in the feature due to the low value symbols being burnt.

Megaways slots have dominated the Blueprint Gaming catalogue in recent months. They’ve shown they can still deliver very playable slots with a more standard game engine in the entertaining Revolution: Patriot’s Fortune. Blueprint also offer lots of branded games with The Goonies being the pick of the bunch.
