Pixies of the Forest is also quite an unusual online slot because it uses ninety-nine paylines. This means that you can enjoy it with as little as 33p per spin, but if you’re a high roller, you can also play for greater returns with up a stake of up to £165.

The game started out in land-based casinos in Las Vegas, but after it proved hugely popular with players, IGT decided to release it as an online slot in 2013. Since then, it’s gone on to become of the most-played slots of all time. So, if you’ve yet to take it for a spin, make sure you play it today!

The magical theme and beautiful graphics make Pixies of the Forest positively mesmerising on both large and small screens. And, while the three pixie characters can hand you generous cash rewards, there are also wild and bonus symbols that can lead you to even greater riches.

Trigger the Free Spins Bonus, and you get to benefit from an extra wild symbol on the first reel.

Design

With Pixies of the Forest, IGT once again shows its skill for creating an online slot that plays as beautifully as it looks.

The main game screen features a clearing in a hidden forest which is lit by rays from the sun that shines down from within the blue summer skies overhead. Ancient trees grow on either side of the reel set, and the tiny golden lights that flit between the tree trunks aren’t fireflies as you might imagine, but magical pixies.

Listen very carefully, and you’ll hear the sound of pixies laughing happily as relaxing harp music plays in the background. And, while pixies tend to be shy creatures, three of them can be found on the reels where they act as high-value symbols. There’s the blonde pixie with the shy smile who’s hugging herself, the brunette pixie who’s telling you to keep quiet by putting her finger to her lips, and the purple-haired pixie who’s blowing magical dust towards you.

The other symbols that can aid you in winning cash prizes in the Pixies of the Forest online slot include the Pixies of the Forest game logo, the “WILD” symbol, the A, the K, and the Q.

The game comes with five reels, three rows of symbols, and ninety-nine fixed paylines, and it lets you form winning combinations by landing three or more matching symbols from left-to-right across the reel set, starting with Reel 1.

Although you can’t adjust the number of active paylines, you can choose how much you wish to spend per spin by adjusting the Coin Value setting at the bottom of the screen. The minimum value is 1.00 while the maximum is 30.00.

The Spin button is located in the centre of the control panel, and to its right, you’ll find the Auto-Spin option and a spanner icon which allows you access to the settings. Auto-Play lets you choose from 10, 20, 30, 40 or 50 spins which play through automatically without any need for you to intervene. The settings menu lets you adjust the graphics quality.

Wild Symbol

In Pixies of the Forest, the wild symbol is represented by the purple “WILD” symbol, and it can substitute for all symbols except the Bonus when it can contribute towards a win. In the main game, the wild only appears on Reels 3, 4, and 5.

Scatter Symbol

The scatter symbol in the Pixies of the Forest online slot is easy to spot as it’s labelled “BONUS”. You need three to land on a payline to activate the bonus game.

Bonus Round

For many players, the highlight of Pixies of the Forest is the IGT-exclusive Tumbling Reels Feature which is similar to Microgaming’s Rolling Reels and NetEnt’s Avalanche features.

Every time that a winning combination is created, Tumbling Reels are triggered. They cause the winning symbols to disappear from the reel set so that new ones can drop down and fill the empty spaces. Once this process is complete, a new win may be created, in which case, the Tumbling Reels Feature is activated once again. When no more winning combinations are possible, the feature ends and you take your next spin.

Three “BONUS” symbols anywhere in view unlock the Free Spins Bonus. The number of free games that you receive depends on the amount of spins that are revealed when you click on one of the three “BONUS” symbols. In the Free Spins Feature, the wild symbol can appear on Reel 1 as well as Reels 2, 3, and 4.
