Introduction to Gold Blitz Fortune Tower Fusion
Gold Blitz Fortune Tower Fusion is a casino slot from Fortune Factory Studios, which takes the well-known themes of gold, money and flashy prizes and gives them a rather vibrant twist. The game developer has released various titles in this series, from the first release, Gold Blitz, to other games such as Gold Blitz Express. This game centres on a Fortune Tower full of cash and Fortune prizes. Apart from aiming at landing matching symbols on adjacent reels, starting on the leftmost reel, you’ll also aim at triggering one of the two bonus features. The appearance is bright and colourful with a futuristic casino atmosphere, by no means aiming to be a quiet game.
Theme, Gameplay & Payouts
Gold Blitz Fortune Tower Fusion is a video slot from Fortune Factory Studios with 5 reels that contain 3-4-5-4-3 rows, and 720 ways to win. You can place bets from the Min.bet of 0.2 to the Max.bet of 50. The game’s RTP is 96.17%, and the max win is capped at 5,000x the bet. The volatility is medium, and the hit frequency of 25.98% means that you score a win on about every fourth spin, on average.
The visual design is futuristic, with a blue background and lightning. The reels are on the right-hand side, whereas the Gold Blitz Fortune Tower occupies a major part of the left side. The tower displays a range of prizes, with the top one at 1,000x the bet. The interface has clearly been designed to function on desktop computers as well as on mobile phones and notepads, meaning you don't have to stay glued to a computer screen if you want to chase the Fortune Tower. Wins are made by landing 3 or more matching symbols on adjacent reels, starting on the leftmost reel.
The lower-paying symbols in Gold Blitz Fortune Tower Fusion are 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A. They pay between 0.8x and 1.2x the bet for five matching symbols. The higher-paying symbols are bells, coins, gold bars, and $-signs, paying between 1.5x and 2x the bet for five of a kind. The Wild Symbol substitutes for all symbols except the Scatter, Prize Activator and Gold Blitz Collect symbols.

Wild Symbols
The Wild Symbols can show up on reels 2, 3 and 4. They take the place of the regular symbols with the exception of the Scatter, Prize Activator and Gold Blitz Collect symbols. Although they do not pay out on their own it is possible for them to land in stacks.
Gold Blitz Fortune Tower
The Gold Blitz Fortune Tower has 6 Fortune prizes and 9 Cash prizes. The Cash prizes vary from 0.5 x to 15x the bet, and the Fortune prizes go as high as 1,000x the bet. If a Gold Blitz Collect and a Prize Activator appear on the same spin, one of the prizes shown in the tower is collected. The number of Prize Activators decides how many prizes each Gold Blitz Collect symbol can collect.
There is also a multiplier feature connected to the tower. When five stacked Gold Blitz Collect symbols appear without either a Prize Activator or a Gold Blitz respin, five 1x multiplier increases are given. These multipliers are then added to a randomly determined Cash or Fortune prize. The multiplier can reach a maximum of 5x, and once a prize has been won, it is applied to that prize.
The highest Fortune prize multiplier remains available during the course of the game, whereas the multipliers for the other prizes reset after they have been awarded. At the end of the Gold Blitz bonus, all the multipliers are reset, although when returning to the base game, a 5x multiplier is given for the highest Fortune prize.
Gold Blitz Collect Feature
The 'Gold Blitz Collect' symbol appears on the third reel. All the Prize Activator symbols that have landed during that spin get activated by the 'Gold Blitz Collect' symbol. This symbol can appear both in the base game and in the Gold Blitz bonus.
Prize Activator Symbols
There are Fortune Activator and Cash Activator Symbols. Each of these types causes the corresponding prize to be awarded on the Gold Blitz Fortune Tower. The prizes are then collected using the Gold Blitz Collect symbol. Prize Activators can appear both in the base game and in the Gold Blitz bonus.
Cash Prize Activator Symbol Upgrade
It is possible to convert a Cash Prize Activator into something more valuable. If more than one Gold Blitz Collect symbol appears during the same spin as Cash Prize Activators, then those Cash Activators can randomly be upgraded to Fortune Prize Activators prior to the prizes being awarded. The only exception is that this upgrade can only take place after the Gold Blitz Collect Feature has been awarded at least once.
Wild Fusion Fortune Tower
The Wild Fusion Fortune Tower goes a step further with the tower concept by showing 15 multipliers, usually lying between 2x and 15x. When the Wild Fusion Fortune Tower bonus starts, any multipliers that have been accumulated in the base game Gold Blitz Fortune Tower are added to the corresponding multipliers.
Five Wild symbols stacked on reel 3 can give five 1x multiplier increases even if they do not produce a win or cause a Wild Fusion Fortune Tower respin. These multipliers are added to the random multipliers on the Wild Fusion Fortune Tower. The highest multiplier stays available during the feature and does not reset when it is awarded, whereas the rest reset after they have been collected. All the multipliers are reset when the bonus round ends, and a 5x multiplier is given to the highest Fortune prize when returning to the base game.
Scatter Symbols
You win 1x the bet and get to choose a bonus if you land 3 Scatter Symbols on the grid.
Bonus Choice
With the Bonus Choice, you have the option of selecting which of the two main bonus rounds you would like to play. You can choose either 8 spins in the Gold Blitz bonus or 8 spins in the Wild Fusion Fortune Tower bonus.
Gold Blitz Bonus
The Gold Blitz bonus gives 8 spins and may be triggered at any time, either after a Gold Blitz token has been collected into the Gold Blitz pot during the base game or by the Bonus Choice. Gold Blitz tokens can show up on Fortune Prize Activator symbols even if the spin does not include a Gold Blitz Collect symbol.
In the bonus round, only the Gold Blitz Collect and Prize Activator symbols are active; the other positions on the reels remain blank. The spins take place automatically, and any winnings are added to the winnings from the base game.
Gold Blitz Respins
Gold Blitz Respins have the possibility of being triggered at least when one Gold Blitz Collect symbol comes up on reel 3 and no Prize Activators have appeared. The more Gold Blitz Collect symbols land, the higher the chance of a respin. While reel 3 remains fixed, the other reels spin once more, and at least one Prize Activator is certain to appear.
Wild Fusion Fortune Tower Bonus
The Bonus offered by the Wild Fusion Fortune Tower gives you 8 spins and includes 3,125 ways to win. It may be triggered at random whenever a Wild Fusion Fortune Tower token is gathered into the Wild Fusion Fortune Tower pot in the base game, or it can be chosen using the Bonus Choice. Tokens for the Wild Fusion Fortune Tower appear on the Wild symbols and are collected into the pot as part of the base game.
In the bonus round, a random multiplier from the Wild Fusion Fortune Tower is obtained for each Wild symbol on reel 3 that is involved in a win. Since Prize Activators, Gold Blitz Collect and Scatter symbols are inactive, this bonus is very different from the Gold Blitz version.
Wild Fusion Fortune Tower Respins
The Wild Fusion Fortune Tower Respins have the possibility of being triggered at any time when one or more Wild symbols come up on reel 3, even if no win is produced. As before, the greater the number of Wilds on reel 3, the higher the chance of the respin occurring. When it happens, reel 3 will become locked while the other reels are made to spin again. During this respin, the Prize Activators, Gold Blitz Collect and Scatter symbols are not active.
Fever Boost
Fever Boost is intended to improve the chances of triggering a number of the game's main features, such as the Gold Blitz Collect Feature, both Fortune Tower bonuses and the Gold Blitz Respin. While Fever Boost is in operation, only Prize Activators, Gold Blitz Collect symbols, Scatter symbols and Wild symbols can appear in the base game. All the other symbols vanish from play and do not pay off until Fever Boost is turned off.
Fever Boost may be switched on or off in the base game. Activating it doubles your base bet.
Upsizer Feature
The Upsizer options are on offer at the Bonus Choice and Bonus Buy stages. In the case of the Gold Blitz Bonus, you may select either 8 further spins with the maximum Gold Blitz Fortune Tower prize multipliers, 8 more spins with an increased chance of hitting more Prize Activators, or 8 spins which include both advantages. If you buy the maximum Gold Blitz Fortune Tower prize multipliers, they stay in effect for the whole of the bonus and do not get reset when prizes are won.
In the case of the Wild Fusion Fortune Tower Bonus, the options are similar but adapted to this particular feature. You can obtain 8 extra spins using the maxed Wild Fusion Fortune Tower multipliers, 8 spins using the upgraded high symbols, or 8 spins with both options, and purchased maxed Wild Fusion Fortune Tower multipliers remain active during the entire bonus rather than resetting after they have been awarded.
Feature Buy
With the Feature Buy option, you can buy the Bonus Choice for 100x the bet, which gives you the chance to choose between 8 spins in the Gold Blitz Bonus or 8 spins in the Wild Fusion Fortune Tower Bonus.
Final Thoughts on Gold Blitz Fortune Tower Fusion
Gold Blitz Fortune Tower Fusion definitely doesn't lack features. You’ve got, just to mention a few, the Gold Blitz Fortune Tower, Wild Fusion Fortune Tower, respins, multipliers, and Fever Boost. There is plenty happening once the reels get going. It’s quite attractive with an RTP of 96.17% and a 5,000x max win, although there are games with much higher max wins these days. Medium volatility is also appealing to players who don’t want an extremely wild ride.
However, it feels like we have experienced this game before. Anyone familiar with the Gold Blitz series will recognise the basic formula right away. Collecting prizes in the Fortune Tower, building multipliers and triggering variations of the same bonus mechanics make Fusion feel more like another chapter in an established formula than a genuinely fresh release. Even the Wild Fusion Fortune Tower, while adding another layer to the gameplay, doesn't completely escape that feeling.
We’re not overly impressed by the visuals either, with a rather basic blue-and-white background in what seems to be an infinite space. If you're already a fan of the series, Gold Blitz Fortune Tower Fusion offers another chance to play with familiar mechanics in a slightly different package. But if you’re hoping for something genuinely new, you can skip this release and move to something else.
Gold Blitz Fortune Tower Fusion from Fortune Factory Studios is a vibrant and lively slot game with a large number of ways in which the action can unfold. The downside is that we have experienced this action many times before.
