Orb of Destiny: Slot Overview

Destiny is a curious thing—would you genuinely want a peek at what’s ahead? If it promises riches, good health, and love, the mystery disappears and some of the wonder goes with it. If it’s bleak, then what? Perhaps it’s better not to know; you can keep pushing forward with hope, whatever comes. Hacksaw Gaming’s slot Orb of Destiny plays with both ideas in its own way. Largely, it’s a completely random online slot where anything can occur. Yet its full reel wild Lady Fortune symbols can show several multiplier values that may come into play later.

When you begin, the curtains part to reveal a wooden table scattered with cards, coins, a book, a candle, and the game grid. You can practically imagine the incense in the air. With dice strewn about, it even feels like a round of Dungeons & Dragons might be about to start. With a little imagination, Orb of Destiny can easily pass as a visit to a fortune teller’s lair, proving that whatever theme Hacksaw Gaming picks—and they pick plenty—the studio can make it look the part.

The developer also knows how to deliver volatile gameplay, although Orb of Destiny’s 3 out of 5 volatility rating places it firmly in the medium range. It runs on a default RTP of 96.23%, and on this setting hits land across its 6-reel, 4-row grid at a frequency of 20.11%. There are 14 paylines available, along with a stake range of 10 cents to $/€100 per spin.

One reason the grid looks so striking is that it avoids the usual card ranks and suits. Instead, the low-value symbols are 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 dice in different colours, while the higher pays are five cards with distinct patterns. A 6-of-a-kind line of low symbols returns 5 to 10 times the bet, while 6 OAK high-pay combos award 15 to 25 times the stake. Hitting 6 Lady Fortunes (which are wild) also pays 25 times the bet.

Orb of Destiny: Slot Features

Hacksaw Gaming brings out its familiar full reel wild multipliers in Orb of Destiny via Lady Fortune reels, which can appear in the base game as well as in both bonus rounds – Lady Luck free spins and Future Fortunes free spins.

Lady Fortune

Lady Fortune is an expanded wild reel that shows 1 to 3 multipliers (with values of x2 to x100) at the bottom of the reel when it lands. The number of multipliers can be increased by landing Orb symbols, up to a maximum of 5 multipliers on a Lady Fortune. Lady Fortunes substitute for all regular paying symbols. When a Lady Fortune forms part of a winning combination, the payout is adjusted by the multiplier shown at the bottom of that Lady Fortune reel. If more than one Lady Fortune is included in the same win, their multipliers are added together first and then applied.

Once wins are worked out, the bottom multiplier is removed from every Lady Fortune reel, whether it contributed to a win or not. If at least 1 Lady Fortune has multipliers remaining, players receive a respin where Lady Fortunes that still have multipliers remain on the grid. Any other Lady Fortunes are cleared away. This continues until all Lady Fortunes are gone or the max win is reached.

The Orb of Destiny

When the Orb of Destiny symbols land, it reveals a number of 1-3 and adds this many random multipliers (possible values range from x2 to x100) to all Lady Fortune reels currently visible. The Orb symbol only appears on respins, in the base game and in the bonus games.

Lady Luck Free Spins

Landing 3 FS scatter symbols in the base game triggers 10 Lady Luck free spins. During this feature, all Lady Fortune reels start with at least 2 multipliers. Landing 2 FS scatters awards +2 free spins, while landing 3 FS scatters awards +4 free spins.

Orb of Destiny: Slot Verdict

Orb of Destiny left somewhat mixed feelings. To be clear, there’s nothing here that’s outright unpleasant, but Hacksaw Gaming’s ongoing obsession with expanding/full reel wild multipliers is starting to feel a touch overused. It’s reached the stage where you almost assume they’ll appear in every new release. Hacksaw doesn’t rely on the idea exclusively—the previous slot, Cash Crew, switched things up, for instance—but so many of these have arrived lately that the concept risks losing a bit of its sparkle.

Putting that gripe aside, Orb of Destiny does have plenty going for it. For one, the visuals and first-person perspective do a strong job of setting the crystal-ball-reading vibe, making it feel like you’re inside the Lady’s private chamber, ready to meddle with reality—pull a thread and see what chaos follows. And yes, full reel wild multipliers can be genuinely effective, and here they can reach values up to x100, plus they can be combined when more than one Lady Fortune reel contributes to a win. With everything in the mix, Orb of Destiny’s 10,000x max win is attainable across all parts of the game.

Much of what’s included may feel a bit familiar if you’ve kept up with Hacksaw Gaming’s catalogue, though having more than 1 multiplier on a Lady Fortune reel—and the chance to reuse them—adds a fresh twist. Whether that twist is enough to really raise the pulse is another matter; fans of Hacksaw Gaming’s approach may well enjoy it, even if a faint sense of “here we go again” sits in the background.
