Play Magic Forest for Free

There are dozens of Irish slots out there, and many of them have already been reviewed by us here. If one is to browse through these Irish slots, one thing would be very clear that almost every one of them tries to bring the laidback lifestyle and party culture that Ireland is known over the world for into the mix, at times resorting to obvious symbols, other times taking help from rich mythology.

But Magic Forest is a tad different from all these slots, in that it never tries to stereotype Ireland into a cast. It rather chooses to seek as much help from various Gaelic myths as it can, all the while never submitting to the pressures of commercialisation. This might sound trivial, especially when we consider that this is a penny slot. But little things like these do matter in the long run, and we certainly have an eye for them!

Appearances and sounds count for a lot when we talk about slots that try to evoke mystery and myth. That’s why, a bit of a discussion about how Magic Forest tries to go about these is well warranted.

The basic colour scheme of green and black is well expected, since this is an Irish slot. However, extremely subtle yet to-the-point sound effects add a great deal of newness to the gameplay – something that the visuals seem to fall short of.

Well, everything has gone to the plan and expectations so far. Let’s see if the gameplay has any surprises to throw at us.

Let us begin by stating the most important parameters of the gameplay. This slot has 5 standard reels and 20 static paylines. Paylines cannot be adjusted as per your needs or requirements, and that should be seen as a blessing in disguise, particularly by rookies because this means that there is one less thing for them to worry about. All they have to is put coins at stake and let the reels rip!

We would certainly have loved to see at least ten more paylines to bring some sort of evenness in the gameplay, but the present set up isn’t one to be despised by any means.

If you are excited to explore this dark forest in search of those mythical riches, you will need to know where to strike the hardest, though.

The majority of regular symbols used in this slot are regular card symbols. Needless to say, they pay very poorly, and hence, need not be discussed more.

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

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

As if that’s not enough, the scatter makes things really interesting by offering extra bounty of 2,000 coins and up to 10 free spins with a flat-out, no-nonsense 3x multiplier.

Magic Forest is not really creative so to speak. But it somehow manages to attract and hold your attention by crisp, short and simple gameplay that never fails to reward your good luck.

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