New 5×5 Video Slot Combines Collapsing Reels, Expanding Grids, and a 10,000x Max Win
Digital mobile games company PG Soft has expanded its portfolio with the launch of Farmstead Fortune. Set on a charming country farm, the 5×5 symbols combination video slot is accompanied by a relaxed banjo soundtrack and playful arcade sound effects as players open crates to win up to 10,000x their bet.
Cascading Action and Bonus Features
The game operates on collapsing reels, allowing fresh produce to drop into place on every spin. Wins are achieved when any four or more matching symbols touch horizontally or vertically, clearing them from the grid so new symbols can fall in. The Wild symbol substitutes for all icons except the Scatter, which appears on reels 1, 3, and 5.
Players can trigger two distinct bonus mechanics:
- Mini Bonus Feature: Can trigger at random on any main game spin, awarding three bonus spins starting with a covered grid that uncovers as selected symbols land and reset the counter.
- Bonus Feature: Triggered by three Scatter symbols, expanding the reels to a 7×7 grid and introducing high-paying symbols like Pumpkin, Corn, Onion, and Bell Pepper alongside Level-Up symbols and multipliers worth between x2 and x100.
Additionally, players can utilize the Feature Buy option to skip straight to the Bonus Feature for a set price shown on screen.
Executive Commentary
A spokesperson for PG Soft commented:
“Farmstead Fortune is a fresh take on the classic harvest theme, with collapsing reels and an expanding 7×7 Bonus Feature combining to create a highly engaging experience. Add in Level-Up symbols and multipliers of up to x100, and players have plenty of opportunities to build towards the 10,000x maximum win.”
