Enchanted Forest Overview

The features of this game start with the wild icons. The wild in this game has its own value, paying up to 12x the stake for the top combination. In addition, they also substitute for other icons to help players score more wins. The next feature is called the twin re-spin bonus. This feature is triggered when two reels on the board land with the same symbols. The game will then re-spin the third to help you find more wins or trigger additional feature content. Indeed, if you manage to land the same symbols on all the reels, then the wheel of truth feature is triggered. This is a wheel of fortune that either boosts your win by some type of multiplier or gives you instant access to the free spins game. All bonus content will be explained in more detail later in the review.

Enchanted Forest Theme and Symbols

The theme for this game is a magical forest full of exciting spirits and totems that dance around the screen. The game takes place in a secluded cave within this ancient and fascinating forest. In this cave, you'll find magical stones and other strange symbols forming the game's icons. From the symbols, players can also infer that this game has an Asian influence with animals that are important in the Chinese and Japanese religions featuring heavily. These include the Koi carp, the dragon and the lion.

The background for this game is the interesting forest. Around the board are the twisted boughs of ancient and gnarled trees. The centre of the board seems to be emanating a curious green glow reminiscent of the bioluminescence seen in various sci-fi movies such as Avatar. The game gives the impression that the player is deep in this forest and has even travelled to a special place which is sacred and linked to the spirit world. The level of detail is also very impressive here. The playing board is made from a few vertical lines in the shape of vines that delineate the three reels.

The symbols are split into low-paying, high-paying and special symbols. The low-paying icons are the J, Q, K and A in rune icons. The most valuable of these is the A rune, paying put at 1.2x the stake for the top combination. The more valuable icons are the four different animals. These are the carp, toad, leopard and lion. The lion is the most valuable of these, worth 8x the stake for the top combination. The only special included in this game is the golden dragon wild.

Enchanted Forest Features

The first feature available in this game is the wild feature. This feature concerns the wild icons, which in this game pay out of their own accord and substitute for other icons to help score more wins.

The re-spin feature is the second bonus in this game and is triggered when players land the same symbols in two reels. When this happens, the game will freeze these two reels and re-spin the third one to try and give players access to the wheel of truth. As explained, the wheel of truth is a wheel of fortune and is triggered when players land the same symbols across the board. A bonus wheel will then appear with different segments that contain multipliers or an instant free spins access section. If you land on a multiplier, then the win you won to trigger the feature will be boosted by that value. Land on the free spins section, however, and you'll be given access to the free spins round, which provides you with 15 free spins on a board with only high-paying symbols.

Finally, this game also offers a bonus bet option which ups your bet per spin in exchange for bigger multiplier values on the wheel of fortune.

Conclusion

Fantastical, mystical fun awaits players of this exciting new video slots. The features are excellent, the playing experience is unlike anything we have played before, and the attention to detail here is sublime. What isn't so excellent is the payout potential. This is let down by the relatively low RTP and woeful top payout. Indeed, considering they let you bet so much, the rewards aren't all that.
