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

Introduction 

Mystic Forest is a fantasy-themed online video slot from game designer Noble Gaming. It has 5x3 reels with ten fixed paylines that pay from left to right. 

There is a wild symbol in the shape of a unicorn. This is the top-paying symbol and substitutes for all other symbols except the scatter, which is also a paying symbol. The scatter will trigger various free spins when three or more appear on the reels. This phase of the game plays on new reels on which random wilds can appear; what’s more, the free spins can be re-triggered.

Apart from the wild and scatter, there are four high-value symbols: the fairy queen, the pixie, the goblin and the elf. These are supplemented by five lower-value card symbols from ten to ace.

If you have played and enjoyed this designer’s work in the past, you can find many more Noble Gaming free slots in demo mode here at Slots Temple. 

Theme, graphics and soundtrack 

The fairy queens, pixies, goblins and elves give the game away in this fantasy-themed slot. The graphics are cute and animated when winning lines land. We get a glimpse of the eponymous forest in the background and there a Latin American soundtrack pumps out when a winning combination appears on the reels.

If this theme appeals to you, why not take a look at the Pixies of the Forest slot? This is also available to play in demo mode here at Slots Temple but note that it has a much lower RTP. 

Mystic Forest RTP and variance 

Mystic Forest has an RTP of 96 per cent; however, players should always check at the casino of their choice, as this can vary. The game is low variance, which means there are likely to be regular runs of low wins to keep players engaged.

Mystic Forest review: our verdict
 

This is a jolly and fun game from Noble Gaming. A lot of thought has gone into the design of the characters and it is easy to imagine a few storylines to accompany the spinning reels. Although we are happy to praise the visuals, the soundtrack may prove a little too much for players who like to concentrate on the game; however, this is easily remedied by switching it off.

There is a decent RTP of 96 per cent, which is the current industry average. Combined with low variance, this means players shouldn’t be left waiting too long for wins to bolster their bankroll.

You will find that the majority of the wins will be provided by the lower-value symbols, although the wild does pop up quite regularly to help form some higher-value paylines.

The bet spread is decent, but Mystic Forest is unlikely to attract high rollers and may not appeal too much to experienced gamers; however, it is a perfect slot for players just getting to grips with online slots and a gentle introduction with some decent features and different sets of reels.
