Introduction

Slots developers are always on the lookout for new themes that will engage and entertain their players, and the world of fantasy has always provided a rich source or inspiration - just check out the hundreds of games with a fantasy theme across our website! It’s a theme that we often see when we play Casino Technology demo slots. This is a developer that thoroughly embraces the world of magic and mystery.

But with so many great slots games already covering the world of fantasy, is there room for another one? And is this offering from Casino Technology worth spending your time and money on? It’s time to spin those reels and find out!

Graphics & Soundtrack

When a slots game is called Misty Forest, you have a pretty good idea of what to expect once it’s finished loading. So it’s no surprise to find that the game opens in a woodland clearing, with the reels taking centre stage. The symbols are big and bold, taking up all of the available space, which makes this game perfect for playing on all devices - even the smallest of smartphone screens.

The symbols on the reels are made up of forest creatures, such as wolves, foxes and bears. Bears in Ireland, you ask? Well, we’ve checked, and indeed, Ireland used to be home to wild brown bears, although these days you’ll only find them in wildlife parks. Other symbols on the reels include fearsome-looking axes and war hammers. There’s a burly Celtic soldier, too, as well as a pretty young maiden. Of course, there’s also a wizard, who acts as the game’s Wild.

There are some gentle Celtic melodies that accompany gameplay, which helps to create some extra atmosphere. Altogether it’s a nicely-presented game, although it would have been nice to see some animations along the way.

Misty Forest RTP & Volatility

The theoretical RTP of Misty Forest is 95.6%, which is slightly below the average or this sort of game. This is a medium-volatility online slots game, so there’s the potential for your balance to disappear very quickly once you start playing. Even when you seem to be spinning up plenty of winning combinations, the cash awards often won’t be enough to cover your stake. Our advice is to keep a watchful eye on your balance, and play the game extensively in demo mode before venturing into an online casino to play for real cash.

How to Play Misty Forest

Here’s our quick guide to get you started at the reels of Misty Forest:

1. First, decide how many paylines you want to include with every spin. You can choose to play with 1, 5, 10, 15 or 20 paylines. The fewer you include, the cheaper the price of the spin. But you’ll also be drastically limiting your chances of winning, too, so we always recommend activating as many of the available paylines as possible.

2. Next, you need to select the amount of your stake. Press the Settings button in the Bet window to see the available options, and click to make your selection.

3. Pressing the Spin button will start your game. You can also press and hold the Spin button for 2 seconds to activate Autoplay. This will keep the reels spinning automatically at your current bet level for 1,000 spins. But don’t panic if your balance is disappearing too fast, or if you simply change your mind. You can deactivate Autoplay by tapping the button that appears just below the first reel of the game.

4. The Settings button to the left of your screen will also give access to paylines, betting amounts and Autoplay, as well as the Mute button if you prefer to play without sounds.

Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins

Spin the reels of Misty Forest from as little as 0.01 with one active payline. The maximum wager is 5.00 with all 20 paylines activated.

Cash prizes are paid out for matching three, four or five symbols, as multiples of your bet.

Fox, Boar, Wolf, Bear = 0.50x, 1x, 3,75x

Hammer, Axe = 0.75x, 1.25x, 5x

Soldier = 0.75x, 2.50x, 5x

Lady = 1.25x, 10x, 50x

Scatter pays 5x, 10x or 50x your total bet for landing three, four or five respectively.

Misty Forest Bonus Features & Free Spins

The Wild only appears on reels 2, 3 and 4, but expands to fill the entire reel, triggering plenty of winning combinations.

Three or more Scatter symbols will trigger 15 Free Spins. The feature can be retriggered, with three more Scatters awarding 15 more Free Spins. And throughout the feature bonus round, all wins are doubled.

Overall Review

Although Misty Forest is a good-looking slots game, we found it lacking in bonus features. For our money, we’d rather be playing the Kingdom's Rise Forbidden Forest free slot, which has much more going on across the reels throughout the gameplay.

It’s a shame to see such a promising game fail to live up to its initial promise. But we prefer games with plenty of bonus features, as well as multiplier slots, which can generate some big cash prizes.

If you just want a relaxing gaming session along with some rather lovely graphics, this game could be for you. But we suspect that, like us, you may get tired of Misty Forest rather quickly.
