Forest Fortune Review
We were immediately impressed by the audiovisual world created, and the atmosphere is quite different from a previous hit game. The bonus round is very similar though, but with the added possibility of landing a large jackpot. This might sound like a lucrative upgrade, but it comes with a price.
The rather low RTP will take a toll on your bankroll in the long run, making this jackpot chase a somewhat costly affair. You win by landing 5 to 15+ matching symbols in a cluster, and the largest regular payout is 150x your stake. We understand that the intention is to capitalize on a successful release, and more than enough effort has been poured into this follow-up title to make a unique experience.
Forest Fortune Features
The wild symbol can land anywhere to help you form winning clusters, and it steps in for all regular pay symbols like wilds usually do. However, in this game the wild also triggers the Wind Feature. The wind will blow all wilds in view in a random direction, and each wild present is cloned as many times as there are triggering wilds in total.
This might sound a bit confusing, so please allow us to clarify. Let’s say you land 2 triggering wilds, and the wind is blowing to the right. This means that the 2 triggering wilds are cloned 2 times each, and the cloned wilds are 1 and 2 steps away from the original wilds. Filling the whole grid with nothing but wilds awards 1,000x your stake.
You need at least 3 Monarch butterfly scatters in view to trigger the Bonus Round. You get 3 free spins initially. The feature ends when you hit the 10,000x max win, or when you land 3 non-winning spins in a row. You will land blanks, as well as 4 different winning symbols as follows:
- Blue butterfly - adds a value between 1 and 100 to the multiplier above the reel.
- Green butterfly - multiplies the number above the reel by 2x to 50x.
- Tornado - collects all values on the same spin, and adds them to each reel.
- Bee - fills 1/3 of the progress bar above the reel.
You need to land 3 bees on all 5 of the reels to win the fixed €3 million jackpot. If you don’t win the jackpot, all collected reel multipliers are summed up as the feature ends. This becomes your total win, and non-UK players can purchase the bonus round for 100x your stake.
The 200 Spins Forest Fortune Experience
The bonus round takes place in a darker corner of the woods, and we had a small wild wind win before that in the base game. The free spins start at the 1-minute mark, and we can reveal up front that we didn’t land the €3 million jackpot. How much we got away with however, you will have to see for yourself.
Review Summary
The visually pleasing forest opening is best enjoyed on a big screen, and the echo effect on the game sounds makes this title an almost meditative experience. Quite the opposite to a popular previous game in that regard, but featurewise the two games are similar. The big difference, of course, is the possibility to land a massive €3,000,000 jackpot.
The 10,000x regular potential is the same though, but feeding the jackpot will cost you in the long run. The 94.6 % RTP is significantly lower than in another similar game, which is something to keep in mind. There are no multiplier wilds in this follow-up title though, and the Wild Wind Feature would definitely have been more exciting if it involved some multiplier action.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Innovative Wild Wind feature | RTP of 94.6 % (95 % if you buy the bonus round) |
| Hold & Win bonus round w/ 4 special symbols | |
| Massive €3 million jackpot | |
| Win up to 10,000x your stake |

Is a special game inspired by Rubik’s Cube. You can expand the grid up to 11x11 by consecutive wins, and corner multipliers can boost your winnings up to 10,500x your stake. You can also look forward to 2 unique bonus rounds, as well as Color Blast Jackpots.
Is a 6x6 Cluster Pays slot also, and it comes with an innovative Compass feature. Land 5+ compass symbols anywhere, and they will spread in the direction of the compass needle. This happens with every compass symbol in the bonus round, and you can win up to 7,400x your stake.
