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

Introduction

If you go down to the woods today...make it a worthwhile trip. Explore the treasures deep in the forest and see if you can make it back before dark.

If you go, be careful not to trip on the ever increasing crop of toadstools or the acorns that fly at you out of nowhere. Look for Blue Riding Hood - maybe she can help you find the hidden path to the riches hanging from the golden tree.

This game is free to play in demo mode, and we think you should take advantage of this before you decide to play for real at an online casino.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

The background to the reels is a forest in warm green tones with a smattering of autumn leaves. The reels are framed in classic ornate gold like many fairytale books.

The fairytale-style game icons are crisp, and these include toadstools, acorns, a golden tree acting as the game’s wild symbol, an orange and blue lantern. The main character is a girl in a blue bonnet with silver hoop earrings and blue choker - unlike anything you’ll see in a Hans Christian Andersen classic. Well, maybe Blue Riding Hood is just more street than her red counterpart. Or maybe she’s a wizard? We need a better look at that hat...

And although the scene is bright and fairytale-esque, the music takes a slightly darker turn. Yes, the natural sounds of a buzzing forest are there, but there is a foreboding shimmering soundtrack underpinning it. Let’s call it mystical nature. The volume increases slightly and temporarily as you spin or win, but there is little else going on soundwise.

Maybe the teddy bears got bored of the picnics and have taken up cards and drinking gin? Or one of them is going through their Goth/emo phase? Who knows.

Bonus Features

Wild Scatter

The Golden Tree acts as both a Wild and Scatter symbol. It can substitute for any other symbol in the game.

Free Spins

Three or more Gold Trees kick off a Free Spins Round, where retriggers abound.

Expanding Tiles

You can up your winnings during a Free Spins Round by expanding gold symbols. A new screen will appear with nine covered gold tiles. You first pick one to reveal the expanding symbol for the free spins. But if you get a +1 then you will be offered the chance to pick more. You’ll get to pick up to five expanding symbols, and these will remain active for the whole free spins round. The Expanding Symbols bag you extra wins during the Free Spins Round as they expand to cover the reels and boost your chances.

Our Verdict

Splendour Forest, although containing darker undertones than you might expect from a forest fantasy, manages to enchant players perhaps used to more adult themes. For this reason, the scene and characters are slightly at odds with the high volatility of the gameplay.

Whether or not the game will appeal to players seeking out high-volatility titles will likely depend on whether the features float their boat. Expanding symbols and a hybrid Scatter/Wild may not be so unusual to the seasoned slot connoisseur, but they are far from pedestrian. Plus the free spins are generous, and the potential wins are not to be sniffed at.
