Pixies Of The Forest

It might be an old game, but the Pixies of the Forest slot by IGT is still hugely popular with online slot players, and it’s not hard to see why. For a start, this simple 5x3 game was one of the first slots to feature Tumbling or Cascading reels, which we’ve all come to know and love from Meagaways games.

And that’s not the only attraction in this great game. The grid is set in the middle of a magical forest, where a sharp-eared fox will catch the sound of unseen pixies laughing and playing. The gentle greens and blues of the background, as well as the soundtrack, create an enchanting, relaxing atmosphere that every fox will feel right at home in. 

If all this sounds a little too laidback for your taste, don’t worry. There are 99 paylines crammed into the 5x3 grid, and plenty of chances to land winning combinations on them thanks to the Tumbling Reels and the fast-paced bonus round.

If you cast your eyes over the paytable, you’ll see Q to A card ranks for the low pays and three pretty pixies and the game’s logo for the premiums. Payouts start at 1x the bet for three Queens on a payline and go all the way up to 2000x the line bet for five of the game logo. 

The Wild is a pixie crown made out of twigs. This substitutes for regular symbols to help form winning combos, but not the Scatter. And, in the base game, at least, it’ll only land on the middle three reels. But that all changes in the Free Spins, which are triggered by three Bonus symbols on a payline.

The number of Free Spins in the bonus round doesn’t depend on the number of triggering Bonus symbols. Instead, once a lucky fox sees three Bonus symbols on a payline, they get to pick one. They’ll be awarded between five and eleven spins.

The Wild really comes into play during the Free Spins. In the bonus round, it can land anywhere on the grid, including reel one.  And as I’m sure I don’t need to tell you, this gives a huge boost to the win potential of the round.

And let’s not forget the Tumbling Reels, which can produce multiple wins for the cost of just one spin. It does this by removing any symbols involved in a win from the grid and letting new ones tumble down to fill the empty spaces. This repeats as long as new wins are formed.

If you’re looking for a slot that relies on gameplay rather than flashing lights and sound effects to get the adrenaline going, Pixies of the Forest is for you. The action is fast, and the win potential is huge. Just keep in mind that this is a low to medium-volatility game, so the chance to get your hands on some potential big wins won’t come that often.
