Toad's Gift - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Toad's Gift Review - Introduction 

Mysticism is a big part of this animal themed slot, so expect some enchanting symbols. Blue and green dragons are the most valuable, followed by an extravagant golden fortune cookie. Luxury persists down the paytable with a bag of coins, an orange and some letters/numbers.

Slots usually come with either free spins or respins and make one of those features their headline mechanic. Playtech goes further, though, and actually includes both! You can look forward to up to eight free spins (awarded for enough scatters) and a maximum of four respins via the Toad’s Gift bonus game.

Free spins come with a conundrum too, but we’ll talk about that a little later, and there are four different jackpots to be won. Toad's Gift has 20 paylines (which are fixed), winnings pay left to right and both auto and turbo spin can be enabled.

Why not give the game a try for free as a Playtech free slot?

Theme, Graphics & Design

Toad's Gift is nothing short of majestic. Its vision of unspoiled nature is both enchanting and extremely alluring - we’ve never wanted to physically inhabit a slot’s setting more! Verdant forests, green mountains and deep clear waters form the backdrop. They’re unpolluted without a single trace of human civilisation.

This is clearly a time of pre-history, when myth and legend dominated the land. Mystical symbols, including the red and gold koi, the two dragons and the glowing fruit, enhance the sense of magic and situate Toad's Gift firmly in the realm of fairytales. Music helps too, and the soundtrack is full of the faraway.

The design is slightly let down by the jackpot totals at the top of the reels. While obviously essential, they aren’t quite in keeping with the rest of the aesthetic. That, however, is only a small complaint on an otherwise stunningly designed game.

Toad's Gift RTP and Variance

Toad’s Gift is medium-high volatility, so it can be variable. Its RTP is slightly above average, coming in at 96.76%, and the top win (in the form of the Grand Jackpot) is x2000.

How to Play Toad’s Gift

Here’s a short walk-through to get you started with Toad’s Gift. 

1. Instructions are the best place to start on any slot. They’re accessed by tapping the appropriately labelled “i” button. From there you’ll be able to read all about the bonuses (including those jackpots), the paytable and the paylines.
2. Close the instructions.
3. It’s nice and simple to set your bet. Just press - or + on the bet box to adjust your wager.
4. Turbo and autospin are positioned on either side of the spin button.
5. If you want to fly through the rounds a little quicker, enable turbo.
6. Autospin is slightly different. It makes the reels spin automatically for a set number of rounds, with limits on losses/wins.
7. It can be tempting to get started straight away, but work out a sensible budget first.
8. Press play to spin!

Bet & Win Sizes

Bets range from 0.20 up to 500, which is great for higher-rolling players. Blue dragons are the most valuable, and these symbols are responsible for the top line win of x125 (for landing five).

Other x5 winning combinations include:

Five blue dragons = x 125

Five green dragons = x 100

Five fortune cookies = x 100

Five bags of coins = x 75

Five oranges = x 75

Five As = x 12.50

Five Ks = x 12.50

Five Qs = x 12.50

Five Js = x 12.50

Toad’s Gift includes 20 paylines, which is around industry standard, and the highest possible payout is x2000. That’s awarded for the Grand Jackpot, though, which is only for the extremely lucky!

Toad’s Gift Bonus Features

Toad’s Gift is packed with bonus features, culminating in those much-sought Jackpot wins and the massive Grand Jackpot.

Here’s how to play each of them.

Free Spins

Free spins are awarded in much the same way as on other slots - via scatter symbols. Three scatter symbols award spins, but you have an element of choice. Players can choose how many free spins they want and also how many multipliers. There’s a balance to be struck (since more free spins mean lower multipliers), but you can have as many as eight free spins with a x3 multiplier or four with a multiplier of up to x18.

Toad’s Gift

Toad’s Gift is the first step towards winning a jackpot. If you manage to land four koi symbols, the reels will shrink to 3x3 and you’ll be awarded up to four respins. Special pond stones with various multipliers (as high as x50) now appear along with jackpot stones (Mini, Minor, Major and Grand). Landing enough of these symbols awards the respective payout.

Our Verdict

Who wouldn’t get caught up in the world of Toad's Gift? Both setting and gameplay (with those fantastic bonus features) are highly immersive, making this a slot that’s difficult to stop playing but easy to come back to.

Free spins are made even more exciting than usual with the additional element of choice at the start of the round, but respins remain the highlight. The spins are thrilling enough, but with four different jackpots on the line, Toad's Gift is hard to beat.

Such strong gameplay matches the gorgeous setting perfectly. Toad's Gift is a magical slot in more ways than one. Its fairytale world will leave you yearning for more.

Slots Temple has plenty more enchanting gameplay to offer on the Golden Toad demo slot, which we're sure you'll love too.
