Pixies of the Forest Slot Review

Pixies of the Forest Slot Overview

Pixies of the Forest sees top online developer IGT open the pages of their fantasy playbook to take us on a trip to a magically enchanted forest. A trio of winged Pixies take you by the hand to guide you through the greenery in a gentle game, which offers surprisingly high win potential. Tumbling Wins and Wild symbols sprinkle a little stardust onto the reels, whilst Scatters provide the path to the Free Spins Bonus, which comes turbocharged with additional Wilds. The maximum win per line is 2,000 coins, but considering 99 lines are on offer, that equates to a 198,000 coins maximum win – signalling potential retirement for those playing at higher stakes!

This 2012 release has remained enduringly popular with players for over ten years. Much of that longevity is attributable to the simple yet fantastical environment in which it takes place. It’s tough not to be enamoured by the Pixie stars, whilst the soundtrack dials the relaxation levels to the max. Then, of course, there is the gameplay. Little more than a straightforward Tumble Wins/free spins combination at first glance, the game rises above the crowd courtesy of the high-value pay symbols and exceptional max win potential for a low-medium volatility release. On the downside, the game is beginning to show its age, and the RTP settings are nothing to write home about. Nevertheless, we suspect this deceptively explosive slot may be flapping its wings for some time yet.

Pixies of the Forest Slot Features

Wilds

Wreath Wild symbols may appear on reels two, three, and four in the base game and substitute for all standard symbols to help create winning combinations.

Tumble Wins

Following any win, all winning symbols disappear in a magical haze. The remaining symbols tumble to the bottom of the reels, with new symbols dropping in to fill the gaps at the top. This process repeats for every winning combination, creating the possibility of multiple payouts on the same spin.

Free Spins Bonus

Foliage-adorned bonus symbols may appear only on reels one, two, and three. Land three on a payline, and you will float away into the Free Spins Bonus. Having hit three Scatters, you must choose one to discover how many Free Spins you have won, with five to 11 free apins available.

Free spins play out on the same 5x3 grid as the base game but reels one to four feature additional Wild symbols.

Our Verdict The feature is a straightforward free spins system, only enhanced by the extra Wild symbols. Thanks to the high symbol values, that is more than enough to ramp up the big win anticipation.

Pixies of the Forest Slot RTP & Volatility

RTP	Variable RTP	Volatility
94.90%	Yes	Low - Medium

The top-end Return to Player (RTP) percentage of 94.90% falls short of the 96% industry average RTP.

Those Pixies look friendly and go out of their way to ensure a smooth playing experience. Pixies of the Forest falls into the low-medium volatility category - meaning regular low-mid level wins and the occasional more spectacular payout.

Our Verdict There’s no avoiding the fact that the top-end RTP is disappointing, and, as a variable RTP release, alternative settings as low as 93% are also available - we always recommend consulting the information section of the game to discover the setting in use at your online casino of choice. The low-medium volatility is in keeping with the gentle theme, but unlike many games of a similar rating, spectacular payouts are possible in these slot woods.

Pixies of the Forest Slot Graphics & Audio

Graphics

IGT has created an engagingly pretty forest environment, which is particularly impressive, given how long this game has been with us. The watercolour forest backdrop is entirely static but effectively adds depth to the setting, whilst the pleasant Pixie characters each bring a distinctive character. We also enjoyed the animation effects, with the floaty symbol drops in keeping with the theme.

Audio

The sound team has heeded the call of nature when developing the ambient effects. Tranquillity is the order of the day, as the backing tune alternates between birdsong, galloping hooves, and mischievous Pixie giggles. The reel effects are more attention-grabbing, with wins greeted by an escalating xylophone celebration.

Our Verdict For fans of the light fantasy genre, Pixies of the Forest ticks all of the right boxes. If you close your eyes, you could be in the middle of an enchanted forest environment, thanks to the excellent sound design. The graphics are ever-so-slightly dated but the Pixie trio continues to exude charm.
