Chinese Forest Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

Chinese Forest is a five-reel, 15 payline slot with an Asian theme from the developer Mancala Gaming. The graphics and gameplay are simple, making it easy for beginners to understand. While high rollers won’t find much to talk about with this slot, casual players can find a whole array of unique bonus features to enjoy. With the maximum win being a 250x multiplier on your total bet, there sure is a lot of winning potential in Chinese Forest.

Overall Theme

Chinese Forest is one of the popular Asian inspired slots that puts you in the middle of the woods. It’s an unusual mash-up for an Asian themed game to have a forest involved, but overall, the developers have done a great job combining the two. Behind the slot is a beautiful woman who occasionally moves and coyly smiles at you. To the right side of the screen is a pagoda and a tree that has a hummingbird animation as you play the game.

The reels themselves stand out from the background, and the symbols are bright and clear. The bottom section of the screen is cordoned off with bamboo, which matches some of the borders of the symbols. For a game with a similar theme, try Pixies of the Forest slot.

RTP & Volatility

The RTP for Chinese Forest has been set at 95%, which is decent for an online slot. At the moment, there has been no volatility level set by the developer. This makes the game a lot riskier to play for real money because you don’t know what sort of payouts you could be getting.

Chinese Forest Bonus Features

Wild Symbol

The wild symbol can substitute in for all other symbols in the game, helping you to create more winning combinations.

Wheel of Fortune

Landing the wheel of fortune symbol will trigger this bonus round. Here, you will spin the wheel and wait to see what it lands on. Your winnings could end up being multiplied by two, three or four times. If the arrow lands on the “game over” cross symbol, you lose the round and the game ends. If you manage to land on the arrow symbol, you move on to the next level. There are four levels in total, with the final level landing you a 50x multiplier on your winnings.

Find the Card

Landing the question mark symbol will trigger the find-the-card bonus round. Here, a card will be displayed and you have to find it in the hidden 16-card grid displayed on the screen. If you manage to guess correctly, you could receive a 4x, 20x or 100x multiplier on your winnings and another go at the game. An incorrect guess will cause you to lose and the round will end.

Jigsaw Bonus

While playing Chinese Forest, you will notice jigsaw pieces landing on the reels. These pieces can be assembled to make a picture. Once you’ve collected all ten of the pieces, you will receive some bonus spins.

Our Verdict

Overall, this is a great slot with lots of winning potential and unique bonus features. The features keep it entertaining and fun while still giving out some good prizes. Although the theme has been done time and time again, this one offers a new twist of adding in a forest to the graphics, which is different from many of the Asian-inspired slots we see.
