Fantasy Island - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction 

Lose yourself in a mystical world of warlocks, goblins, and warriors as you aim to land one of the two bonus features on offer in this fantasy themed slot by World Match. Fans of the popular Pixies of the Forest games could find a lot to like with Fantasy Island, and compared to the low RTP of 93.95% on the original Pixies of the Forest game, this game could quickly become a firm favourite.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack 

The graphics on Fantasy Island are brash, bold, and bright, and wins are easy to spot. With warlocks, warriors, owls, and toadstool houses, it is a journey into a fairytale land full of mystery, mysticism, and mayhem. The main frame sits amongst tree branches with twisting ivy trails framing the reels. The cartoon-style graphics are visually appealing, but watch out for the flatulating Goblin!

The soundtrack is fitting and adds an air of mystery and drama, and the sound effects that accompany a win are a nice touch (apart from the Goblin, of course!) The coins that fall from the top of the screen after every win seem a bit unnecessary and would be best reserved for decent-sized returns, or at least winnings above the actual stake. 

Fantasy Island RTP and Variance

The RTP on Fantasy Island is 97.49%, which puts it above average for online slots games, and it has a medium volatility. There are plenty of wild symbols, so wins are fairly frequent, particularly when played with the maximum win lines of 15.

 
How to Play Fantasy Island

1. Check the game's settings to make sure they are set to your liking. The volume can be changed from off to on via the settings menu, but there are no in-between options.
2. Choose your stake. You can bet between 0.15 and 150 per spin. Be aware, however, that if you select 'Max Bet', the bet is struck and the game will start automatically. You can also choose how many win lines to play from 1, 3, 5, 10 or all 15 lines.
3. Decide whether you want to auto play. There are very few options, though, and you can only choose between 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 500, or 1,000 spins with no other parameters. 
4. There are no speed options to choose from, although the reels can be stopped early by pressing the start button again.
5. Enjoy the game!

Bet Sizes & Pay Table Wins

There are nine win symbols including the wild, and all wins pay from left to right across a maximum of 15 win lines. The wild symbol substitutes for all symbols apart from the free spins and bonus game symbols.

Returns for 5 of a kind.

5 x Unicorn - 75
5 X Axe Warrior - 75
5 X Purple Warrior - 100
5 X Toadstool - 100
5 X Owl - 125
5 X Goblin - 250
5 X Warlock - 500
5 X Fairy - 500
5 X Wild (Treasure Chest) - 7500

There is a generous range of stakes, win lines and bet levels to suit most budgets, with stake ranges between 0.15 and 150. The maximum stake of 150 might not appeal to high rollers, but most budgets are catered for, and the higher-than-average RTP should contribute to a decent playing session.

Fantasy Island Bonus Features

There are two bonus features on Fantasy island.

Free Spins - Three or more ‘Free Spin’ symbols must land to trigger 10 free spins. The free spins have a X3 multiplier. A cash amount is also awarded depending on the number of Free Spin symbols that land and must land on a win line.

2 Free Spins Symbols - 2
3 Free Spins Symbols - 5
4 Free Spins Symbols - 50
5 Free Spins Symbols - 500

The free spins play in a much faster mode than the normal gameplay, which can be frustrating, particularly as they can take a while to trigger.

Bonus Game - A minimum of three ‘Bonus Game’ symbols must land on a win line to trigger the bonus game. There is then a choice of 10 Goblins to pick from, and each will reveal a cash amount, but be warned: it is possible to win nothing from the bonus game. 

Overall Fantasy Island Review 

Fantasy Island is a fun game with a generous RTP, and the free spins multiplier is always welcome. A real downside is the speed the free spins are played at, which is ludicrously fast. Most players who enjoy this kind of game play for the free spins feature, and it seems to end as quickly as it begins. Aside from this drawback, it is a well-designed game with plenty of wins along the way. Those who enjoy an easy-play, free spins game with a mystical theme could do a lot worse than give Fantasy Island a few spins.
