Pixies of the Forest II Slot Review

Released in February 2019, you can play this game in online casinos such as Mr Green, LeoVegas or Unibet.

Theme and basic information

Pixies of the Forest II takes us back into the magical forest where Pixies are at home and we may meet the Fairy Queen. In many ways, this slot looks very similar to its first incarnation, Pixies of the Forest, but the sound and graphics have been updated and the second instalments looks a lot sharper with better animations.

The forest is lovely, the Pixies are pretty and the playing card symbols glimmer just a tiny bit, fitting in with the theme.

The game’s logo is the highest value symbol, paying out 30.30 times our stake. The highest-paying Pixies still pays out 15.15 times our stake for a win of 5 on a payline.

The wild appears on reels 2, 3 and 4 in the base game, whilst it lands on reels 1 to 4 in the free spins feature. It substitutes for all standard symbols in the game, as usual with the exception of the scatters.

You can play this game from 0.33 to 99.00.

Wild features in the base game

Pixies of the Forest II has a lot to offer and we hardly know where to begin. For starters, though, the game comes with tumbling reels, which are otherwise known as cascading or avalanche wins. This means, winning combinations explode off the reels and we get further symbols tumbling in from above, hopefully creating more winning combinations.

When that happens, pay attention to the spirit meter just below the reels. It fills up with every consecutive win and once you’ve scored three of those, a random wild feature will be activated:

• Random Wilds – Three wilds are randomly added to the three middle reels. Once no more wins occur, the three wilds may re-appear as much as twice more. We found this to be the most common feature.
• Sticky Wilds – Three wilds land one each on reels 3, 4 and 5, where they are sticky for 3 tumbles.
• Wild Reels – One or two of the three middle reels turn full wild and stay in place until no more tumbles occur.

Another point worth noting is that the RTP is as high as 98.83% during these features.

Finally, when any of the wild features start, any of the wild symbols may randomly turn into a bonus scatter or a jackpot trigger symbol.

Free spins and three jackpots

With three Fairy Queen scatters anywhere on the reels, you’ll trigger the free spin feature. Before that kicks off, you click on a bonus symbol to reveal how many spins you’ll receive (mostly between 5 and 10). Now more wilds are likely as well and the three Pixies come equipped with a 2x multiplier when they land on reel 1.

Also, the Fairy Queen may pop up randomly throughout the free spins and award the following:

• An extra free spin
• Spirit boosts to trigger the feature wilds
• Removing 1 to 4 symbols, triggering a new tumble and increasing the spirit meter by 1

You will almost always play more free spins that the initial number you received.

The jackpot feature is triggered when you land the jackpot symbol three times on the reels. You then get to play a pick-me game, where you click on fairies to reveal which of the three available jackpots you receive:

• Bronze – 300 coins (static jackpot that doesn’t grow)
• Silver – 900 coins (also static)
• Gold – seeds at 1,500 coins (progressive, where 0.3% of your bet contributes to the pot)

The progressive jackpot tends to trigger at about 10,000.

Conclusion: A charming slot that has many features and great wins

The theoretical RTP (Return to Player) for Pixies of the Forest II is 96.57% in the base game, though that increases in the features. That’s excellent value one way or another and with a medium variance, this slot tends to deliver regular wins, with big wins coming in every now and then.

The game has a charming theme and some great features, which means it never gets boring and you can keep playing for quite some time. The slot doesn’t just entertain, it also has great winning potential. The wild features in the base game alone are frequent enough to keep you going. The free spins come with plenty of extras and you can even score one of three jackpots. There’s little not to like in this game unless you really don’t like fairies.
