Steamworks - Gears of Fortune Slot Overview

Steamworks - Gears of Fortune is a casino slot from Peter & Sons where you are yet again back in the steam-fuelled factory, ready to produce wins. This is a sequel to Steamworks The Workshop, released in 2024, and the factory has gotten a few nice upgrades, such as the playing grid growing from 3x3 to 5x3. While the prequel was all about respins and full panel multipliers, here we got a bit of a different story, as the gameplay loop surrounds a Coin Collecting Bonus Game where you can hit a Grand Prize worth 1,000X the bet. So, enter the factory, start pulling some random levers, turn some valves, and see what wins you can cook up.

Steamworks - Gears of Fortune Slot Information

The game is set in the same factory as the prequel, with a few notable changes to the playing grid and surrounding valves and cogs. This also means that it comes with the same orchestral-like soundtrack, making the game feel so much larger and epic than it really is. The game can be played on most desktops, notepads, and mobiles. Wins are made by landing 3 or more of the same symbols in adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel. 

The lower-paying symbols are Lemons, Cherries, grapes, and blueberries. Landing a win with 5 of the same symbols pays out 4X to 5X the bet. The higher-paying symbols are Clovers, Stars, 7s, Horseshoes, and Diamonds. Creating a win with 5 of the same symbols pays out 8X to 20X the bet. The reels are also filled with Wilds, Coins, and Scatters, as well as a few Special Symbols during the Respins feature, but we will talk more about those in the next section.

Wild Symbols help create winning combinations by being able to substitute for all paying symbols except Coin Symbols, Scatter Symbols, and Special Symbols. 

Coin Symbols

Coins can appear on reels 1-4 and land with a random cash prize value ranging from 1X to 20X. These Coins can only be collected by Scatter Symbols that can only land on reel 5. 

Respins

After collecting 20 Coin Symbols during the base game, the Respins feature is triggered with 3 spins that reset on each new symbol that lands on the reels. During the Respins, only Special Symbols and Blank Spaces can land, and these are: 

Coin Symbol = Lands with a random value between 1X to 20X the bet. 

Big Coin Symbol = Lands with a random value from 50X to 1,000X the bet. 

Collector = Accumulates the values of all Coins on the screen. 

Shock Wave = Lands with a random value and increases the value of coins by +1, +2, +3, +5, or +10.

Steamworks - Gears of Fortune Slot Conclusion

Steamworks - Gears of Fortune is a sequel to Steamworks The Workshop, but outside of name, theme, and setting, it doesn’t feel much like a sequel. The original, while being a simple and linear fruit slot, had a few unique things going on with it that sadly didn’t make it stand out too much. It was a classic, fast-paced game with some fun full-panel multipliers that were perfect for a certain type of player. While here in Steamworks - Gears of Fortune, Peter & Sons are moving away from the fruit slot formula while still keeping the same great theme and instead focusing on the new Coin Collecting feature. 

Talking about the Coin Collecting feature, we can move into the gameplay, and the first thing players might have noticed is the reduced max win from 2,500X in the prequel to 1,000X the bet. But this is also a completely different game with new features, those being the Coin Symbols and Respin features. While Coin Collecting slots aren’t all too unique, the added Special Symbols during the Respins feature make the game stand out a bit and add a certain flare to the game. It’s here in the bonus game where you can find the real big wins, either through upgraded Coin Symbols, Big Coin Symbols with high Cash Prizes, or just filling the entire playing grid and being awarded the Grand Prize. Steamworks - Gears of Fortune may sadly not have been the sequel that certain fans of the first game wanted, but it’s still a great game with many fun moments to be had, and we recommend you check it out.
