Forest Fortune

By Becky Mosley | Updated 13 November 2024

Hacksaw Gaming will take you deep into the woodlands in the search of hidden riches with their video slot release, Forest Fortune. Set on a 5×5 grid, this high variance slot is very nicely designed and has a top prize of a £3million fixed jackpot.

You can play from 20p up to £100 a go and expect free spins, multipliers, hold and spin, wilds, random wilds and scatter symbols. Mobile players will be happy to hear Forest Fortune is optimised for play on all devices.

Forest Fortune Design

Forest Fortune has cartoon style, sharp, clear graphics with the reels set on the forest floor. There are shards of light filtering through the trees and shrubbery to the sides. You also have quite a mysterious, solemn soundtrack accompanying play.

All of the symbols are woodland related and include mushrooms, acorns, strawberries, blackberries and blueberries as the lower values and various bugs and beetles as the higher values. You also have a wild symbol which can replace any regular symbol and trigger the wind feature, and a butterfly scatter which triggers the free spins round.

Gameplay and Features

When wilds land, not only can they replace regular symbols to help form wins but they trigger the wind feature. This is when a gust of wind blows the wild across the reels, spreading its position and increasing your chances of winning or winning a greater amount. If the winds blow in your favour and you manage to fill the reels with wilds, you can win up to 1000x your stake.

3 or more butterfly scatters activate the free spins round. During this feature, the free spins keep coming until you have a run of 3 consecutive non wins. Every time you land a new winning symbol, the spins are reset back to 3 and there are several modifiers active. The blue butterfly add -1 to +100 free spins, the green butterfly multiplies that number from 2x to 50x and the tornado adds up the value of all winnings symbols and adds them on the reel.

To win the£3million fixed jackpot you need to fill the progress bars with bees by landing 3 bees on all 3 reels.

Verdict

This is a fresh, eye-catching design with some nice features to enjoy. The £3million jackpot is sure to attract player, so overall, Forest Fortune is a solid title worthy of a spin or two.
