Magic, miracles and luck. Those are three main elements that you need to win big time in any slot game. Hold on, what if the game that you were playing came with all three of them in the first place? In Pixies of the Forest mobile slot by IGT, you will receive all the magic you need to make more money, in the form of pixie dust! Frankly speaking, this mobile slot seems to be one of the best games to be produced by the reputable developers IGT. The theme and graphics are absolutely stunning and the innovative tumbling reels feature in this game just made it a whole lot more exciting. Ready for some fairy fun?
Game Basics
Right away, you will be greeted by three of the cutest pixies you would have ever seen in your life. Not for a single second you will be able to take your eyes away from the colourful and attractive looking reels. Pixies of the Forest slot features a standard 5 x 3 reel layout paired with 99 in-built paylines. The game accepts wagers from a mere 30p all the way up to a massive £300 per spin. Budget wise, I think that this slot game is quite friendly to players of different budgets given its huge wagering range.
Having played this game a little over 30 minutes, I found this game to be skewed towards the medium to high variance range. The base game frequently pays out, but all your winnings from there would be of small value. What you really want, is to trigger the extra spin feature or the tumbling reels in order to get the big wins.
What’s more is that the Return to Player (RTP) in this game is lower than the industry average at 94.9%. Having said that, I personally think that Pixies of the Forest mobile slot is tailored more for slots enthusiasts rather than casual players. In this game, you have to be ready to embrace the drought before you enjoy your fortune.
Bonus Features
Pixies of the Forest comes with three bonus features. Good news is that all three of them pay extremely well, whereas the bad news is that it will take some effort from your side to be able to trigger it. First up, we have the tumbling reels feature. In this feature, the symbols that make up your winning payline will disappear from your reels causing the symbols above them to tumble down as replacement.
This may or may not result in another win depending on whether the replacement symbols can create a winning payline. Theoretically speaking, you may have endless streaks of wins as symbols are replaced, but realistically, you shouldn’t be expecting more than three wins in a row at any time.
Secondly, the slot game feature the ever classic extra spins. The drought ends once you trigger this feature. In the extra spins, the wins just keep coming. They never stop! You will initially be rewarded anything between 5 to 11 extra spins to play with but once you combine your extra spins with the tumbling reels feature, it is effectively way more that the initial number of extra spins that you were rewarded with.
The final feature in Pixies of the Forest is the wild symbols. In this game they will only appear on your second, third and fourth reels and complete winning paylines. Indirectly, the wild symbols are the ones that create the tumbling reels by creating the initial winning paylines in the game. In a way, you can say that this is the money making feature in this slot.
How Does The Game Perform?
There is nothing much to say here really, other than the fact that this is another stellar production by IGT Gaming. The art and graphics in this game is as stunning as it can be and even after 30 solid minutes of playing and testing this game, not a single bug or lag was found. The animations from the tumbling reels were also smooth and crisp.
The Feature That You Should Look Out For
At first glance, I would have said that the tumbling reels is the best feature in this game, but upon close inspection, the true money making factor in this game is how the bonus features work together to produce wins. It all begins with the Wild symbols. They create the initial winning paylines that trigger the tumbling reels, which then in turn increases your chances of getting scatter symbols to trigger the extra spins. The more I think about it this way, the more my mind is blown!
And Finally…
The unity that is shown by the bonus features in this game and how they work together is beyond impressive. Well, it does take a little bit of patience to play Pixies of the Forest slot, but if you can manage to stick through it all, you are definitely up for a good time.
If there is one thing that you should be hoping for, it better be the Wild symbols. Sooner or later you will be lucky enough to trigger the extra spins and that is exactly when it starts raining pixie gold. May the fairies be with you!
