Magic Forest

Magic Forest Slots

The twilight is upon us and the night is near. The forest is calling to you in muffled voices and you have no choice but to answer. But it’s not all doom and gloom – there’s a chance to win the elusive Leprechaun treasure, and if you do, you’ll be on your way to glory and power in one fell swoop. Sounds like your kind of deal?

Well, if it does, then waste no time in thinking – Magic Forest, a video slot from Amatic Enterprises is going to appeal to you more than most other slots. Read on to find out more about this slot and how you can turn small bets into big jackpots.

An Irish Affair

There are dozens of Irish slots out there, and many of them have been reviewed here before. If you were to browse through these Irish slots, one thing would be very clear: almost every one of them tries to capture the laid-back lifestyle and party culture that Ireland is known for around the world, sometimes by using obvious symbols, sometimes with the help of rich mythology.

But Magic Forest is a little different from all of these slots in that it never tries to stereotype Ireland into a mold. Rather, it chooses to take as much help as it can from various Gaelic myths, while never succumbing to the pressures of commercialization. This may sound trivial, especially considering that this is a penny slot. But little things like that do matter in the long run, and we certainly have an eye for them!

Appearances and Sounds

Looks and sounds count for a lot when we talk about slots that try to evoke mystery and myth. So a little discussion on how Magic Forest tries to do this is well warranted.

The basic color scheme of green and black is to be expected as this is an Irish slot. However, the extremely subtle but to the point sound effects add a great deal of novelty to the gameplay – something that the visuals seem to lack.

Now, Moving on to the Gameplay

Well, so far everything has gone according to plan and expectations. Let’s see if the gameplay has any surprises in store for us.

Let us start with the most important gameplay parameters. This slot machine has 5 standard reels and 20 static paylines. The paylines cannot be adjusted according to your needs or requirements, and this should be seen as a blessing in disguise, especially by rookies, because it means that there is one less thing for them to worry about. All they have to do is put coins on the table and let the reels spin!

We certainly would have liked to see at least ten more paylines to bring some sort of balance to the gameplay, but the current setup is by no means to be despised. If you are excited to explore this dark forest in search of those mythical riches, you need to know where to hit the hardest.

Knowing Your Way About this Forest of Enchantment

Most of the regular symbols used in this slot are regular card symbols. Needless to say, they pay very little and therefore need not be discussed further.

Other regular symbols are meant to evoke true Irish spirit and these are again some of the usual suspects – a horseshoe, a gold coin, a clover leaf, a beetle and a mushroom. The last two symbols pay the most – 750 coins for 5-on-5 combinations.

A Special Connection

To make a difference, you need to make the most of the special symbols. The wild in this slot is a mischievous leprechaun – all dressed in green and flashing a cigar and a gold coin. The wild – apart from taking care of half-hearted combinations – pays generously, 7500 coins for five-on-five combos.

As if that weren’t enough, the Scatter makes things even more interesting with an extra 2000 coin bounty and up to 10 Free Spins with a no-nonsense 3x multiplier.

A Magic Hold on You

Magic Forest is not really creative, so to speak. But it somehow manages to grab and hold your attention with crisp, short and simple gameplay that always rewards your good fortune.

Of course, margin callers may find it difficult to devote much time to this slot – and we don’t blame them. This slot is best played for simple slot fun and a real money gaming rush.
