Forest Tale

It’s surprisingly rare to see a low volatility slot these days, but that is exactly what Forest Tale promises to deliver. There’s not that much that breaks the mould here, so you can get into the game easily. Five reels with three symbols each, some bonus games to go with that, and perhaps a few jackpots that might just be worth a spin or two. Take a look below for the full details...

Theme

The theme is set in a mystical forest, which soon reveals itself as the setting as the age-old tale of Red Riding Hood. Granny, the hunter, the wolf, the house, and of course the main character herself can be found on the reels alongside the usual playing card ranks. The sound effects are not the best ones around, but luckily there’s a bit of music to fix that fault. The slot offers a rather strange mix of modern impressive graphics and an interface that seems age-old.

Betting Options and Functions

If you have played EGT slots before you are probably familiar with the interface. It is not exactly the best one around, but it does drive its purpose. There are several betting options between 15 and 300 credits per spin, which translate into coins depending on what the particular online casino has decided.

The slot comes with 15 paylines, all running from left to right. The range of payouts is impressive enough for the low volatility to warrant a few spins, with the maximum prize from any single five symbol combination standing at 5000 times the line bet. Luck is of course required, and you are far more likely to land one of the smaller wins.

Features

The gamble feature allows the player to double any win, or lose it entirely. Just choose between red and black and watch if you guessed correctly.

There are four different progressive jackpots, ranging from hundreds to thousands of coins. These trigger entirely random, after which a minigame will decide which one of the pots you will win.

The main feature will activate when enough bonus symbols land on the reels. This will then have you scrummage through Red Riding Hood’s basket of goodies, which can result in increased multipliers or more free spins. The maximum multiplier is five, and the maximum amount of bonus games is twenty.

The scatters will activate a bonus feature that allows you to pick between different symbols. Possible wins range from hundreds to thousands of coins as well as also activating the main bonus game.

Our Take

There is certainly no lack of content in this game. Bonus games, instant picks, multipliers and extra wins. The slot has a few downsides, the main one being that EGT keeps sticking to their outdated interface. The actual graphics and effects are quite cool. The low volatility combined with some massive wins is certainly interesting and makes the game worthwhile. Give this one a go in free mode first!
