Part of Pixies of the Forest’s appeal is the theme which was selected for it, with the enchanted forest and the cute pixies appearing in many of the symbols. It’s also the high number of paylines which require only a third of the coins which would normally be used, or the fact that it’s got unusual features and a cute design. Overall, you will find it a very interesting choice, and the theme really does translate well into a design.
99 connected lines are available on the 5 reels of Pixies of the Forest. They have some impressive features insides, with tumbling reels, with wild symbols, bonus symbols and free spins. As for the payouts, they offer you $10,000 cash.
Features of Pixies of the Forest
The Connected Lines is one important aspect of the game, but there are also things like Tumbling Reels, free spins, wilds or scatters.
Instead of using regular paylines, or even ways to win, Pixies of the Forest resorts to something called Connected Lines, which are quite unusual. There are a total of 99 such connected lines, and to get paid you need for the symbols to be connected to the one from the next reel, either with the corners or the sides touching. That’s how you get a total of 99 lines on 5 reels. The game requires only 33 coins to cover all those lines.
Tumbling Reels is another cool feature, but it’s much more common. It basically makes the symbols which are part of combinations go away. New ones will come in the empty spots, so that there is a chance for new combinations to form. The winning combinations can keep doing this, disappearing and bringing you new wins, for as long as your luck holds out.
To get to the more typical features of the game, let’s take a look at the wild symbol, which has a WILD logo representing it, on a blue and green background. The game uses this symbol as a substitute, and it will work that way when it comes to most symbols, the exception being only the Bonus icon. Wilds appear on the reels 2, 3 & 4, which would be the one major downside I see here. It gets a little better during free spins, when you can also see them on the 1st reel.
Free Games Feature
The free games get started when the Bonus icon is on an active payline, but it can be there in scattered positions. Getting Bonus icons on different lines will not bring you the free spins.
You are asked to choose a Bonus icon, out of the ones that triggered the feature. You can get between 5 and 11 rounds. Wild symbols appear on the first four reels of the game. You can’t retrigger this feature.
Betting options and jackpots
One unusual thing about this game, besides the connected lines feature, would be the way you bet on them. Even though you have 99 lines, you only need 33 coins to bet on all of them, one coin being used for three lines. The coins have values between $0.01 and $5, so you can spend at most $165 on one spin.
The rewards are good considering the number of chances to win that you get. You can win up to 2,000 coins, meaning $10,000 or less.
Design and symbols
You’re getting a beautiful design from Pixies of the Forest, filled with enchanted creatures, fairies of all kinds and even some playing cards, though some effort went into them and made them at least appropriate for the theme. The trees of the forest are all around the reels, while on them you get about three cards, three fairies and various logos and words.
Symbols: Wild Logo (wild), Bonus Logo (bonus), Game Logo (2,000 coins), Gift Fairy (1,000 coins), Secret Fairy (400 coins), Shy Fairy (150 coins), Ace (40 coins), King (30 coins) and Queen (25 coins).
Is It Worth Playing?
I haven’t seen the connected lines feature in too many slots, and I definitely didn’t saw them in slots where you pay one coin for three lines. I’d recommend this game to you, you will at least experience something new.
The Pixies of the Forest slot machine is offered through the IGT platform, so if you want to play it for real or just to practice, look out for casinos that use it.
