Enchanted Woods Slot Review

If you go down to the enchanted woods today you might get a big surprise. If your luck is in that could be a handy little jackpot. Those fairies and elves aren’t poor you know, there’s some fairy treasure out there for you to try and win. It’s another successful slot from Microgaming who keep on releasing excellent games.

‘Enchanted Woods’ is a five-reel game with 25 paylines but with just the one row of symbols. Now I know what you’re thinking, honestly I do. How can there be one row of symbols and 25 paylines? Well what happens is that you have to make two spins of the reels in this game. The good news is thought that you only have to pay for one of the spins. It’s decision time after the first spin of the reels thanks to the hold function. You can hold some of the reels if you want to. Now that really takes me back to the times when I was a youngster and forever pressing the hold button hoping to get a win on the next spin.

Doing that can increase your chances of getting a win especially if you’re close to a winning combination. Then it’s time for the second spin and see how lucky you are. Note that no wins are paid after the first spin of the reels, any wins you are lucky enough to get will be paid out after that second spin.

Playing the game costs between €0.10 and €100. Just work out your budget and go for a stake you’re comfortable with and can afford to lose.

Magical Symbols

Symbols in the game are of a rather magical nature. There’s a toadstool, a nasty looking demon and a leprechaun. Then there’s a whol host of fairies including the Fairy of Destiny and the Fairy of Night. Oh and there’s also a wizard too.  As is the unwritten law in the world of wizards, the magical one has to have a long white beard. He’d be chucked out of the wizards union if he dares go anywhere near a razor.

When you do get a winning combination there’s a magical sound played, hopefully you’ll be hearing that a fair bit. Little touches like that add to the enjoyment of playing the game. That’s not the only element of the soundtrack though. There’s also the sound of toads, crickets and other insects but they can be muted if you wish.

Fairy Wild to the Rescue

It’s the mysterious purple fairy who is the wild in this magical slot. This only appears on the second and fourth reels but can substitute for other symbols to get you wins but not the bonus one. Look out for five of the wild symbols because that pays the jackpot which can be €7000 if playing with the maximum number of coins. The toad is the bonus symbol in ‘Enchanted Woods’ and as you’ll soon read, plays a big part in getting you into the bonus game.

There’s no autoplay feature available in this game which is a shame. All the control buttons for this game are down at the bottom of the screen and easy to find.

Before putting some cash into this game, do a bit of research. A few free games is always handy just to see how the game runs. Also take a good look through the information packed paytable.

Bonus Time

It’s the toad bonus symbol that is going to be one of your best friends in this game. If you can get three of them anywhere on the reels then that gets you into the bonus game. You’ll see ten toads sitting on a tree and you have to pick just three of them to reveal some cash prizes. A basic bonus game but one that can get you some good wins.

Final Comments

Always good to play a game that’s a bit different. The hold function bought back lots of memories and it’s perfect that there’s no extra charge for using it. There are some good profits to be made out of this game and the themea is well adhered to. So if you fancy a game that needs a bit of thought put into it, this is for you.
