Charms of the Forest Slots
Charms of the Forest is an enchanting fantasy themed online video slot game produced and released by RealTime Gaming in January 2025. It provides plenty of ways to pocket prizes and payouts that overall bring a decent win potential of 50,000x the bet. There are a number of features offered with random multipliers, a Hold and Win mechanic and free spins with re-spins.
A classical gaming grid carries a structure of 5 reels with 3 rows and 20 fixed paylines for wins. In order to achieve payouts punters will need to land at least three and up to five identical icons on the paylines that pay out from left to right.
The reels are decorated in lush emerald green foliage and all is bathed in golden sunlight which brings a tranquil feel with every symbol beautifully illustrated to enhance the nature theme. Vibrant colours deliver a cohesive feel and the serene soundtrack provides just the right touch of subtlety that complements the experience in this unique world. The animations provided by the fairy and the gentle fluttering of butterflies further seals the atmosphere.
The RTP (Return to Player Percentage) is 96% and this game plays with medium volatility which ensures a steady and even flow of reasonably sized payouts and keeps punters entertained without risking rapid losses.
Wagers will need to be placed in order to set the reels spinning and the betting range offers versatility accommodating various budgets. The minimum bet starts at $0.20 ensuring accessibility for casual slot enthusiasts and allows for a maximum bet of $20.00 making it ideal for high rollers looking to maximise their rewards.
An optional Autoplay button can be used to pre automate the number of spins punters wish to game with. This can be extremely beneficial as it helps those who are conscious of maintaining a particular gaming budget. It is also a handy tool for those who dislike manual play and prefer more fluidity in their gaming.
Additionally, it is advised for players to familiarize themselves with the bonus features and the Hold & Spin mechanics so they can gain strategic leverage at the right moments in the game.
The Fairy in this forest is the wild symbol and she substitutes for all the other gaming symbols with the except of the scatter and Golden Apple bonus symbols and helps complete winning combinations. She also offers her own payouts where payouts for five are 250x, for four 50x and for three 15x.
The scatter which is represented by the Tree Spirit awards players with 8 free games when at least three of these land on the reels. The scatter also pays out for five 200x, for four 40x and for three 5x. Meanwhile, when the fairy wild flutters onto the gameboard during these free spins she nudges to cover the entire reel providing a dynamic element of anticipation and excitement as well as boosting win potential.
Other gaming symbols include a Unicorn which offers 250x for five, a flower which brings payouts of 200x for five of a kind, mushrooms which pay out 150x for five and a butterfly offering 100x for five of the same. The royal playing cards Ace through to J adorned in greenery offer the lowest prizes of 50x for five.
The potent Hold & Win feature is activated by landing 6 or more Golden Apples and/or Magical Stone symbols anywhere on the reels. Players are awarded 3 re-spins in this feature and only Golden Apples and Magical Stones will appear during this time. The Golden Apples lock in place while the other reels spin. Each new Golden Apple or Magical Stone symbol that appears resets the re-spins to 3 which grants multiple chances to fill the reels with more symbols and win big.
Furthermore, if the entire gameboard is filled with Golden Apples and Magical Stone symbols all the Hold & Win feature winnings are doubled.
Collecting the Magical green Stones provides the pathway to win one of four jackpots. These jackpots are not progressive but offer fixed amounts that correspond to the number of magical stones collected in the Hold & Spin feature. To win the Mini jackpot requires two stones, the Minor three stones, the Major is won with four stones and the highest possible jackpot is the Grand one which hands out 10,000x the bet for five of these mystical stones.
Charms of the Forest slot is fully mobile optimized which allows users to dive into the action wherever they are and whenever. They can play from a desktop browser or use a compatible smartphone or tablet device such as iOS Apple, Android or Samsung.
