Woodsman Review

Ever dreamed of being a woodsman? Yes or no, you now have the opportunity to become a professional woodcutter in this new slot game. We know, it already sounds exciting, but more than that, the game is packed with rewarding bonus features, so you can also hope for decent payouts here.

We don't get to see the sawmill theme very often in the online world, so this new slot feels like a breath of fresh air However, don't expect to see anything except for... wood since it's actually everywhere. The actions take place somewhere in the woods, where the brave woodmen cut the wood. Wood is in the background, wood is on the reels, and wood also triggers the features. And that really immerses you into the woodsman thing. Well, wood aside, the slot looks fairly nice as the design team provided modern sharp graphics.

Woodsman plays out on a standard 5x3 reel setup that provides up to 10 winlines. With that said, you can manually choose the number of paylines you want to play with, namely from 1 to 10. However, symbols create combinations only on the first four reels, since the fifth reel is completely dedicated to bonuses. The slot is powered by a medium volatile math model, and the RTP is decent clocking in at 96.07%, which is a whisker above average. Thus, you should get your returns fairly often. Finally, the Woodsman slot is playable from just €0.1, while the highest stake option is €50.

The symbol collection consists of 10 symbols that are split into two categories, namely A-10 card royals on the lower side and five theme-related symbols that make up the premium lot. Those include in ascending order axes, grinders, chainsaws, helmets, and excavators. Symbols pay for three and four-of-a-kind. Full-line low symbols are worth from 2x to 4x the stake, and the premiums pay from 6x to 20x the stake.

Woodsman Slot Features

The handsome woodsman symbol is obviously the most desired in the Woodsman slot. It is the Wild symbol, which can appear on all reels and acts as a substitute for any other regular symbols. In addition, the woodsman is also the most rewarding out of all, paying up to 100x the bet for line wins. Most importantly though, it plays into the features boosting your wins, covered below.

As alluded to earlier, the fifth reel is the bonus reel, where only symbols of wood can appear. They land with random multiplier values and multiply winning combinations with Wild symbols on the same payline by the displayed value. During the base game, only one multiplier out of 3 is available, and the possible multiplier values are 2x, 3x, and 5x.

Landing 3 or 4 Scatter symbols anywhere in view during the base game awards 12 Free Spins and a cash prize of 5x or 25x your bet respectively. In the free games feature, multipliers increase as 10x and 20x values come into play, plus all three are now always unlocked. Finally, retriggers are possible and you can win 12 extra spins by landing 3 or more Scatters simultaneously during the bonus game.

Last but not least is the Gamble feature, which allows you to increase your winnings. Whenever you score a payout on any paid spin, you are offered a simple card gamble, where the aim is to beat the dealer's card. The feature is repeatable, so you can increase your win multiple times in a row. Keep in mind that the Gamble feature has an average return rate of 84%.

Review Summary

With a fresh theme and a set of fun and rewarding bonus features, Woodsman is really decent. Add up a well-balanced math model and great potential payouts within reach, and you can indeed say it's bound to be enjoyed by slotters. All up, the developer did a great job, and its Woodsman slot definitely deserves attention.
