Forge of Wealth - the Rules, Restated
Verdict first: a scatter-pays cascade board with four fixed multiplier sockets built into the grid - the only game on this shelf where position matters more than symbol. The info screens of the build we logged are restated below, converted to multiples of the total bet. The demo runs right here. Watch the four sockets for two minutes and the whole design explains itself.
The four sockets, first
Four grid positions are special and fixed: row 2 and row 4 of column 2, row 2 and row 4 of column 5. A winning symbol exploding on an inactive socket switches it on. A winning symbol exploding on an active socket collects x2 - and at the end of the spin, the collected multipliers combine and apply to the whole spin win. Two sockets collected means the spin pays four times over. In Free Spins the combined multiplier does not reset: it carries from winning spin to winning spin and keeps compounding to the end of the round. Our logged round walked it from x4 to x10 and the review shows what that did to the balance.
Board, cascades, paytable
Six columns, five rows, symbols pay anywhere from eight of a kind. Wins pay, explode and cascade - new symbols drop until nothing connects. There is no Wild in this game, and the Scatter forge pays nothing by itself. The build prints its paytable in points multiplied by bet size and level. Restated against the total bet, the tiers come to this.
| Symbol | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15+ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dwarf | 5x | 7.5x | 10x | 12.5x | 15x | 25x | 40x | 100x |
| Golden helmet | 2.5x | 4x | 7.5x | 10x | 12.5x | 15x | 25x | 50x |
| Swords and shield | 2x | 3x | 5x | 7.5x | 10x | 12.5x | 15x | 25x |
| Anvil and hammer | 1x | 2x | 4x | 5x | 7.5x | 10x | 12.5x | 20x |
| Spade, heart | 0.1x | 0.25x | 0.5x | 1x | 2.5x | 4x | 5x | 10x |
| Club, diamond | 0.1x | 0.25x | 0.5x | 1x | 2.5x | 4x | 5x | 10x |
The stake itself is assembled, not picked: a fixed 20-unit base times a bet size times a level from 1 to 10. On the public demo behind our log the four sizes are 0.03, 0.10, 0.30 and 0.90. That puts the menu at 0.60 to 180.00 with 12.00 preselected, as we found on 9 October 2026. May's dollar copy had sizes from 0.01 to 0.50. Its screens on file show a window of 2.00 to 10.00 in a menu that scrolls further.
Free spins, and the buy that is gone
Three Scatter forges anywhere trigger 15 free spins, and each Scatter past the third adds 2 more. Retriggers work mid-round. The carried multiplier is the whole reason to be here - whatever the sockets collect stays live to the final spin. The public demo we logged has no Feature Buy, neither a button nor a section in the rules, and a second reading on 9 October 2026 found none. May's dollar copy priced the round on its popup at 75x the bet and launched it at the current size and level. None of the rounds in our pool was bought, and none could have been on the demo they ran on.
The build at a glance
The maximum win prints as a working rule: at 5,000x the bet the spin ends and pays the cap. What does not print anywhere on the screens is RTP - the 96.74% in circulation comes from the provider's site, not from the game. The footer carries the licence row instead: Malta-licensed, certified by GA and BMM test labs. Malfunction voids all pays and plays, and an idle game resets after 90 days. I log what the build pays and publish that instead: 102.62% across 6,473 pooled spins, tables in the review.
Quick answers
How do the multiplier slots in Forge of Wealth work?
Four fixed grid positions. A win exploding on an inactive one activates it; a win exploding on an active one collects x2. Collected multipliers combine and apply to the whole spin, and in free spins the combined value carries to the end of the round.
How do free spins trigger in Forge of Wealth?
Three Scatter forges anywhere on the grid - 15 spins, plus 2 for each Scatter past the third. Retriggers work during the round, and the socket multiplier keeps compounding throughout.
Does Forge of Wealth have a feature buy, and what did it cost?
Not on the public demo we logged, which has no button and no buy section. The dollar copy from May priced it at 75x the total bet on its popup, launching at the current size and level, and kept the button up to a 50.00 stake. None of our logged rounds used it.
Is the free demo the same game as the paid version?
Same rules screens, same paytable system, virtual balance. The demo on this page is the build our sessions logged. Free play still means 18+, and the full session record sits behind the review.
- Rules restated, not quoted - exact wording lives on the info screens inside the demo.
- Paytable converted from the build's points system to bet multiples. The in-game screen prints points, which the game multiplies by bet size and level.
- The May dollar copy's screens show a five-row window of the bet menu ending at 10.00. The public demo's menu runs 0.60 to 180.00, and ceilings vary by lobby.
- No RTP line exists in this build. The 96.74% figure comes from PG Soft's Game Information sheet and is labelled as such.
- Socket odds and Scatter frequency - unpriced by the provider, unverified beyond our logged rounds.

The session tables, screenshots and the score live in the Forge of Wealth review. The launch build is on the demo shelf, and the protocol is on the methodology page. The cascade family is charted on its own page - cascade slots, where this build takes one row of seven and the sockets are set against the other six engines. What this page did not verify - socket odds and the top of the stake ladder. Both go on the list for the next build. 18+ applies to every mode of this game.
