Review

This slot is one of only a few that Playtech offers a brilliant introduction to the reels you are about to play. The slot borrows the theme from Lewis Carroll's 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' as shown from the grinning Cheshire cat resting on the pages of the book in the introduction to the grumpy-looking Mad-Hatter sitting in front of some teacups. You are soon transported to the slot where the magic begins and you are immersed into an interactive fantasy world where the famous children's book is brought to life through a slot. If you are sensitive to sound in any productive way then your ears are gifted to some brilliant ideas, musical motifs, stunning fanfares all with a mystical air about them; even the background instrumental music (similar to the verse within R. Kelly's song, 'I believe I can fly') has a feel-good factor that provides an extremely effective tranquil setting, uncommon in such multi-faceted slots. Apologies to those reading this review thinking the excessive superlatives are too much to handle, but once you experience this slot (notice the word experience, as this is more than just playing) then you too will be charmed and captivated through a slot far more enchanting then any others before seen.

Setting aside the progressive Dollar Ball lottery you can play simultaneously with this slot, the top award is a marvellous 5,000 times line multiplier. The possibility of the bonus round and free spins are two reasons why want gamers would want to play this game, but when you consider the smallest devices of wild, scatter and bonus icons all available from a spin you really are in for a treat when you play this game.

Superb animations across the reels and through winning combinations make this slot alive and bustling with ways to connect you to the game. The many screens packed with detailed illustrations from simply paytables to the more intricate and splendid bonus features heighten the generous content this game has made available and allows the Forest of Wonders slot to be considered one of the best in its genre.

Progressive Jackpot

Before you spin for the slot's prizes you can choose to activate the side Dollar Ball lottery game for an extra 1.00 per spin. You choose five numbers from 1- 49 (or hit the random pick button) and as you conduct your game spin, the lottery happens simultaneously. If you get 1, 2 or 3 numbers correct you will win 1.00, 2.00 or 25.00 respectively. Get four and you will win 1% of the jackpot whereas all five will drop you the whole jackpot yourself.

Wild Symbol

The wild symbol of the Dormouse, familiar to anyone who has seen the films or read the book, can substitute itself with any other symbols except the bonus or scatters. Spin him onto a payline and whenever possible he will substitute himself for other icons to help produce you winning combinations. Be lucky enough to drop him across a payline five times and you will drop the top slot's award of a 5,000 line multiplier.

Scatter Symbol

The White Rabbit icon (seemingly running as if he was late!) is the scatter symbol and can win you free spins. Scatter three or more across the reels and choose one of the icons to reveal how many free spins you will receive.

Free Spins

Reveal three or more of the White Rabbit scatter symbols across the reels and choose one of them to reveal the amount of free spins you have won.

Bonus Round

The bonus round is triggered when you spin three or more of the bonus mushroom symbol across an active payline. You will be taken to the forest where twelve mushrooms are waiting to be picked. You have four attempts to choose three of them to reveal their prizes and how much they will earn you. After picking any of the three of the twelve you have the choice to keep your prize or start over again with the remaining nine. Be careful though, if you are too greedy you might end up left with the three lowest prize-baring mushrooms, accept what you get first time round and you might be selling yourself short if the higher mushrooms are still waiting to be picked!
