This fantasy-themed favourite is a 5 reel affair with 33 coins getting you access to all 99 paylines. The reels feature a trio of elfin fairies with the Halle Berry lookalike offering the biggest payouts of 1,000 coins if you manage to find 5 on a payline. There are also A, K, Q symbols as well as the Pixies of the Forest logo which offers 2,000 coin payouts.
There's also a wild symbol that appears on reels 2, 3 and 4 and substitutes for everything apart from the Bonus symbol. Find 3 of the Bonus symbol and you'll trigger the Free Spins feature. Once activated you'll be presented with a number of choice symbols - pick 1 to reveal the number of free games awarded which will be between 5 and 11.
The reels in the feature benefit from extra wilds which now appear on reel 1 as well as on 2, 3 and 4 in the base game. Unfortunately, it's not possible to re-trigger the free spins during the feature.
The bonus feature isn't the only way to earn some extra spins though as Pixies of the Forest comes with Tumbling Reels. After every successful spin, the symbols in the winning combination are zapped and replaced by the symbols directly above. There'll be a second payout if the new spin results with another winning combo. The reels keep on tumbling as long as there's a winning payline on the reels.
Pixies of the Forest is a real charmer. The imagery is good and is matched by a suitably mystical soundtrack. Good looks counts for very little if the gameplay doesn't match though. Pixies of the Forest ticks that box too. The variance is in the medium range offering a balance of payouts.
The Tumbling Reels feature is a decent addition and can be a real winner if you get on a roll. The free spins are harder to come by but can be very lucrative when combined with the tumbling reels. Even the most hardened sceptic can be turned into a pixie believer if they come out of this particular forest with buckets full of coins.
If you like mythical-themed slots, IGT also offers you Diamond Queen which is highly volatile. I also recommend Wizard of Oz Ruby Slippers by WMS which also has a magical and fairy-tale theme.
