The Odd Forest

Foxium was founded in 2015 and one of their very first slots was The Odd Forest. The game opens up with a view on the dark forest floor, filled with some oddish features. Strange beasts lurk here, luckily they’re there only to offer you big wins, free spins, and other otherworldly goodies. There’s total of fifty paylines to bet on, and a plethora of other features to wait for. The reels are set up in four x five format. Read below for more or hop right in to spin a few rounds!

Theme

Odd is certainly the theme-word here. I can’t point to any single source, though I can tell plenty of fantasy themed works have been used as inspiration. Tree folks, strange beasts, fairies, spiders and other wild things fill the reels. The background is a pitch dark forest, revealing dwellings of one kind or another, and sometimes coming to life with spiders and such. The music and sound effects tell no tale of horrors, but instead, remind me of a nice day at the beach. Oddly enough, this is very fitting for the slot.

Betting Options and Functions

Fifty fixed paylines means a minimum bet of 0.50 coins per spin. The maximum goes all the way into 125 coins per spin, meaning maximum bet per line is two and a half coins. Winning combinations run from left to right, with three to five symbols required for a prize. Nothing unusual there. The highest win you’re gonna score is 500 times your line bet, with the low-value symbols offering only three times the line bet back. In other words, you need quite a lot of them to cash in properly. The big bucks can be raked in best during the bonus features.

Features

The first feature you’ll run into is the wilds. These are active during free spins as well. The random wilds feature will replace three to six symbols with wilds, anywhere on the reels. These naturally increase the chance of winning combinations drastically.

Whenever the tree folks, which act as scatter, arrives on the reels in sufficient numbers they launch the free spins. There are four different bonus games to choose from, each with a different setup. You can get 14 free spins, or seven free spins with sticky wilds, or eight free spins with tall wilds on two reels, or six spins with extra wilds and double wins. If you’re lucky enough you get to try them all, and really win some hard cash.

Three fairy symbols start the fairy bonus. Here you get to choose between stones and orbs in different stages, revealing different cash prizes or the spider symbol. The spider activates another bonus game, where the purpose is to defeat the evil spider. If you succeed in this you will receive 50 times your bet as a single win!

Our Take

The Odd Forest is one of the better slots from Foxium. Like all slots, it is not for everyone, but with plenty of features and enough money on the baseline, it is sure to have an audience that falls in love with it time after time. Try with free money first if you don’t believe me!
