Theme
The enchantment of Forest Mania is brought to life through high quality graphics, from the opening tree house scene to the character animations and symbols. The game is set in the dimming evening light of the forest with the constant ringing of insects and the odd hoot of an owl. Watching the game are three strange looking creatures who, from time to time, like to have a brawl to see who gets the rights to delivering a bonus feature. The theme is backed up with some quirky, cheerful music accompanied by forest sound effects.
The game’s theme also extends to the symbols on the reels. There are six higher value theme related symbols including a red monster and a green monster, a crown, a vase, a helicopter hat and an exotic forest fruit. The lower value symbols are represented by novelty symbols such as a heart, a blue gem, a hairy mushroom and a blue and green forest fruit. The wild symbol is a gold coin with a ‘W’ inscribed on it.
Bonus Features
The bonus features in Forest Mania occur randomly. The most common bonus feature is the wild symbol. The wild symbols do not land directly on the reels but they are delivered by an angry looking creature that pops up above the left side reel set and throws a bucket of wilds down onto the three creatures. The three creatures then fight to see who will distribute the wilds. The wild symbols are then placed by the strongest creature on a group of matching symbols on the left-hand side reel set. Those same symbols on the right-hand side reel will also turn into wild symbols. The slot then calculates any new wins.
Wild Reels work on the same principle. The bucket of wilds is distributed by the angry creature to our creature friends who this time distribute the wild symbols so that they cover an entire reel on the left-hand reel set. The corresponding reel on the right-hand set will also be stacked with wild symbols. The slot then pays out for any new wins.
The free spins round is also a random bonus feature awarded by the angry creature. They can begin at any time and the player can win a maximum of ten free spins. During the free spins, the chances of landing a win increase as the angry creature tends to deliver a higher volume of wilds. Furthermore, during the free spins, the background scenery changes to an autumn day with falling leaves.
