Lady of the Forest - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Zeus Play is a company based in Greece. Its founder has been in the gaming sector for over 20 years and it currently has a portfolio of more than 50 online casino games that it supplies to over 300 casino operators around the world. ZeusPlay free play slots are widely available on the maker’s own site, on many online casino websites, and in demo mode here at Slots Temple. The presence of the fantasy elements will remind you of other free play slots such as High 5 and IGT’s Pixies of the Forest slot, which is a reboot of the same company’s Secrets of the Forest.

Lady of the Forest has a five-reel grid with three columns and ten paylines. The minimum coin size is 0.01 and the maximum is 0.1, which means the minimum bet size is 0.10 and the maximum is 300. There are 11 regular symbols: the unicorn, the owl, the mushrooms, the tree, the amulet and the playing cards from nine to ace. The wild is the eponymous Lady of the Forest and the scatter is a crystal ball.

Theme, graphics and soundtrack

You may feel your heart sink a little as the game loads. There is no introduction and no fade-in effects - just the abrupt appearance of a very rudimentary looking grid. Despite the name of the game, there isn’t very much forest to be seen; instead, you will see mainly long grass, a couple of branches and a slightly perfunctory magical glow emanating from the right of the screen.

Perhaps something interesting will happen once the game gets going? Unfortunately, it won’t. The reels spin with no animation to speak of unless you count the two slightly shaky hands that come together over the crystal ball and turn it from blue to pink without revealing anything in its depths. The lady nods gently and the unicorn rears, but this is a fantasy world where the magic has taken the afternoon off.

Perhaps the soundtrack will fare better? Again, the answer is sadly that it won’t. Bizarrely, ZeusPlay has elected to use a repetitive four-note endlessly repeating electronic number that will have you reaching for the ‘disable sound’ feature within the first five minutes. ZeusPlay really must try much harder.

Lady of the Forest RTP and variance

How to play Lady of the Forest

1. Click the play button to start the reels spinning using the current total bet value. You can also use the space bar to start. Press the stop button, which replaces the play button, to stop the reels mid-spin. This functions as a nudge and hold.
2. Select the coins symbol to adjust the bet level. 
3. The autospin function enables you to select spins increasing by increments from 10 to 1,000. This is where you can set the game to stop on any win, stop when a bonus feature is triggered, and set maximum spend levels, cash increase levels and cash decrease levels.
4. The balance is displayed to the bottom left of the screen next to the wallet icon.
5. Always play gambling games responsibly. If playing for real money, make sure you stay within the limits of what you can afford to lose. When a game stops being fun, you should walk away.

Lady of the Forest review: our verdict

The paytable is generous and there are some big wins to be had. The biggest of all is 9,000, which is considerable, but only comes along if you land five Lady of the Forest wild icons on a payline. The fairly sizeable wins make up for what the game lacks in style and soundtrack.
