Forest Hunter - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Join the cast of cute woodland creatures on a Robin-Hood-style adventure where prizes and bonuses are hidden. Discover combinations of three symbols for basic wins in this 3x3 game or amass nine-strong collections for even bigger wins. Look for the archer who can shoot free spins your way, along with multipliers that can really boost your prize pot total. 

Forest Hunter Theme and Story

This feels like a cross between a Robin Hood cartoon and an episode of The Chipmunks. It’s a cartoon take on a Robin Hood theme with cute forest animals taking the starring roles. There are lots of forest-inspired symbols and a jaunty soundtrack that fits the theme to a tee. Some of the symbols also look quite familiar. The toadstool, for example, wouldn’t look out of place in a Super Mario adventure. If you like the theme, you may also enjoy the Robin Hood's Wild Forest slot.

How to Play Forest Hunter

Gameplay Interactive slots generally boast easy-to-use game interfaces, and Forest Hunter is no exception. The main controls are all easy to see and find, especially with our top how-to-play tips:

1. The ‘i’ tab beneath the reels in the desktop version gives you access to the slot’s paytable. Use the right and left arrows to scroll through the contents and find information about the wins on offer, the paylines, and the game’s bonus features.
2. Change your Total Bet by clicking on the Line Bet arrow and choosing your stake. Use the slider at the side of the pop-up box to scroll through the options as you won’t be able to see all of the choices all at once. This gives you an idea of the extensive betting range on offer with this slot.
3. Press the rotating spin button to start the game.
4. On either side of the spin button is the Max bet tab and the Autospin options. The latter will let you set the slot to spin automatically, and the Max bet button lets you go straight to the highest stake possible for the game.
5. There is a bar along the bottom of the desktop screen that displays a range of different information, including your playing balance, your total bet, and any wins that roll in.

Forest Hunter Paytable Wins

You can start playing this game for just 0.25 per line per spin. The maximum is 25.00 per line. This means that the total bet per spin ranges from 1.20 to 200.00 per spin. This is a huge betting range and can make a massive difference to the wins on offer. Prizes in the paytable are based on a multiplier of your line bet, except for the Lucky Combinations, which are multiplied by your total bet.

Wins are paid out for combinations of three matching symbols. The prizes available are:

Toadstools - 100

Hogs - 75

Blue monster - 50

Coin pouch - 20

Message bag - 15

Satchel with message - 10

Closed satchel - 8

Open satchel - 5

Forest Hunter Bonus Features

There is a free spin feature with multipliers. The hunter symbol will randomly appear to award you five free spins and either 5x, 8x, or 10x multipliers to boost your wins. You will get to pick from a choice of multipliers at the start of the feature, and the one you choose will stick with you all through the five bonus games. You can’t retrigger the free spins bonus, but you can hope that the hunter symbol randomly appears again soon.

The game also has a wild symbol, which can replace other icons to help create wins. It cannot help you in Lucky Combinations wins, however, which is another one of this slot’s bonus features.

Lucky Combinations are triggered by landing a set number of the game’s symbols in any position. The wins on offer are:

Toadstools

9x - 5,000

8x - 3,500

7x - 2,500

6x - 1,000

5x - 500

4x - 250

3x - 25

2x - 5

9x various symbols

9x hogs - 3,500

9x blue monster - 3,500

9x parrot - 2,800

9x coin pouch - 2,500

9x messenger bag - 2,000

9x satchel - 2,000

Any mixed combination of nine toadstools, hogs, blue monsters, and parrots will all pay out 2,000. All Lucky Combinations wins are based on a multiplier of your total bet.

Forest Hunter Review

This is a charming game where the cute characters really steal the show. Its cartoon style gives the impression that this is a game that is more about entertainment than big wins, and this is quite possibly the case. Having said that, the huge betting range on offer allows for some pretty decent bets that make fairly large wins a possibility if you choose to play for higher stakes. The betting limits also cater for the more cautious spinner, with bets starting at a very reasonable 0.25 a line. This makes it possible to really eke out your playing budget if you don’t want to risk too much when you spin.
