Four cells of the Forge of Wealth grid are marked with a faint anvil outline, and the message under the reels explains them: win on an activated slot to get x2. A slot has to be lit by one win and then hit by another in the same spin. The dwarves' smithy arrived in November 2023. In 100 demo spins at 12.00 that happened once, on spin 23, and the session lost 646.20.

Out of 1,200.00 wagered, 553.80 came back, leaving 99,353.80. Thirty spins won. The six best spins, 96.00 and 60.00 (both described below) plus 42.00 and three wins of 36.00, account for 306.00, and twenty-four smaller wins make up the other 247.80, with nine of them below 5.00. The longest losing streak lasted thirteen spins in the second half, and at no point did the balance climb back to its starting 100,000.00.

A pay-anywhere forge
The grid has no lines and no wild, just thirty cells in six columns. Eight or more of one symbol anywhere on the grid win, paid by the count, and winners explode before new symbols fall in. The scatter is a forge sign; three of them start the free spins.
| Symbol | 8 | 10 | 12 | 15+ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Red-bearded dwarf | 100 | 200 | 300 | 2,000 |
| Golden helmet | 50 | 150 | 250 | 1,000 |
| Swords and shield | 40 | 100 | 200 | 500 |
| Hammer and anvil | 20 | 80 | 150 | 400 |
| Card suits | 2 | 10 | 50 | 200 |
The jump between eight and twelve symbols is large: at 12.00 (0.60 a point) eight suits pay 1.20, twelve pay 30.00. Most of my wins sat at the bottom of that range.
The four anvil slots
The slots are fixed: the second and fourth rows of reel two and of reel five. Each works in two steps within one spin.
- A winning symbol on a dark slot lights it.
- A winning symbol on a lit slot in a later round adds x2 to the spin's multiplier for each lit slot covered by a win in that round.
- When the cascade ends, the collected multipliers are added and the whole spin is multiplied.
In the base game all four go dark again before the next spin, so a single-round win can light slots but never use them. The pastry belt of Bakery Bonanza is simpler: any winner on it raises the multiplier by 2, with no lighting step.
Spin 23
The first round was eight shields in an L down reel two and along the bottom, 24.00. They covered both anvil slots on that reel and lit them.
Anvils and then hammers followed, 12.00 each, and the hammers ran through the lit slot in row four. That added x2, and the cascade stopped at 48.00.
Doubled, the spin paid 96.00, eight stakes and the best of the session.
Spin 49 and a lone scatter
The second-best spin had no multiplier at all: ten shields in one round, 100 points or 60.00. A scatter sat on the last reel at the time, but in 100 spins three never landed together.
Fifteen spins I never got
The free spins round gives 15 spins for three forge signs, two extra for every further sign, and retriggers are allowed. The slots keep working as in the base game, with one difference: the multiplier collected on a winning free spin is not lost but added to the next winning free spin's total, so it can climb through the round.
