Forest Fortune Is Not Stacked With Features But Is Still Fun To Play
The features are beautifully woven into the gameplay in Forest Fortune. Its not a game that is packed with extras, but the ones that are there, make it a really fun slot to play.
Watch For Leaves Blowing Across The Screen In Spreading Wilds
The only base game feature, but one that I saw many times in testing, was the Spreading Wild. This occurs whenever at least 1 Wilds lands after a spin. Now, the wind will start blowing – signalled by leaves blowing across the screen in a random direction – so that all Wilds are cloned in that direction. The number of clones is equal to the number of Wilds that started.
So, if I had 2 wilds on the grid and the wind blowed to the right, those wilds would spread 2 spaces to the right. In total, I would now have 6 wilds.
Now, technically it would be possible to fill the entire grid with Wilds in this way – 25 in total. That is how you unlock the special Wild payout of 1,000x which must look really pleasing on the eye.
Spreading Wilds feature in the base gameFree Spins Round Stacked With Multipliers
If you’ve played any Hacksaw Gaming slots like Hand of Anubis or Gladiator Legends then you will know that they often come with a free spins round in which multipliers play a big part. Forest Fortune is no exception!
To start, you need to land 3 or more Butterfly Scatter symbols on one spin, anywhere on the grid. I should point out here that in 200 spins in testing I didn’t manage that once, though I did come close a few times landing 2, just not the 3rd.
The Free Spins start round starts with 3 spins and continues until 3 non-winning drops happen consecutively. With each winning drop the counter is reset to 3. So, as long as you keep winning, the counter stays, or goes back to 3 and you keep playing.
The grid is filled differently as there are now only FOUR special symbols and leaf icons, which perform no duty other than to take up space. You will also notice a new Multiplier AND a Progress Bar that sit on top of EACH reel.
Each Blue Butterfly that lands adds a value of between 1 and 100 to the multiplier on top of its reel. Any Green Butterfly that lands multiplies the multiplier at the top of its reel by between 2x and 50x. A Tornado symbol takes all the values from all symbols on the grid when it lands and adds them to EACH of the multipliers at the top of each reel.
And the best part? The Bumblebee. This guy progresses the progress bar at the top of the reel he lands on by one space. There are only 3 positions on each bar and filling ALL of them instantly earns you a 5,000x win!
