Secrets Of The Forest Slot Review

How to play

The Secret of the Forest slot game is familiar in many ways, but High 5 Games has tweaked the game mechanics just enough to keep things interesting. The gaming grid is made up of five reels and three rows, which is common. However, there are 99 fixed paylines in play, which is rare. The minimum bet you can place is €0.99, which allots €0.01 to every payline. However, we have noticed that the maximum bet per spin varies depending on which site you play on.

There are quite a few ways to customize your gameplay. Autoplay is available, and you can set it for up to 100 spins. You can also change your stake per spin from the Autoplay screen and set win or loss limits. Turbospin is available, which does cut out some of the animations you would normally see between spins. There are free spins in this video slot, and you can direct Autoplay to stop when they are triggered.

Symbols and payouts

There are 11 symbols in this game, and each of them has been fully stylized to reflect the forest-and-fairies theme. The main characters in the game are three nymphs. Each one has her own symbol. The first is a purple-haired fairy with magic in her hands. There’s also a blonde fairy who hides shyly behind a curtain of her hair. The third nymph is a brunette who has her fingers pressed to her lips, like she’s asking you to guard her secret. In addition, there are Q, K, and A symbols and the game’s logo.

Spinning the Secrets of the forest logo will earn you the highest prize in the game. Keep in mind that all wins are multiplied by your line bet. At a maximum line bet, spinning five logos will earn you a prize of 5,000 times your line bet on a single turn. There are also two wild symbols. The circular wild appears on reels 2, 3, and 4; the square wild appears on reels 1, 2, and 3. The last symbol is Free Games, which is used to trigger the Secrets of the Forest bonus feature.

Best Secrets of the Forest bonus feature

The Secrets of the Forest free spins feature is the most exciting part of this game. To trigger the feature, you’ll need to first land three Free Games symbols. These only appear on the first, second, and third reels, so it may take you some time. The number of free spins you are awarded can vary, but the minimum is three. The game will randomly award you either one or two spins for each Free Games symbol. Once your free spins begin, the Free Games symbol is replaced by the square wild.

The added wilds combine with the tumbling reels for large potential payouts. Any time you enjoy a winning combo, the winning payline disappears so new symbols can fall into place. New wins are awarded if the symbols create another winning payline. The extra wilds mean wins are more frequent, and the tumbling reels allow for multiple prizes on a single bet. As an example, we played the Free Games with 10 spins. On a €4.95 bet, we won €107 total because of compounding wins. Players should not try to replicate the example, but see it as a demonstration of the win potential for this game.

RTP & volatility

The Secrets of the Forest RTP is 94.9%. This is just a hair below average, as most video slots are at a 95% RTP. The game mechanics are moderately volatile. You can expect to enjoy frequent wins of lower values. The tumbling reels and free games also grant you occasional, high-value wins.
