If you are familiar with the tail of Alice in Wonderland then you will enjoy one of the latest new slots from Playtech. Forest of Wonders will take you on a crazy adventure, so, lets go!
I was out for a walk in the forest when I started picking some mushrooms, I decided to try them, wow! they were wonderful, I gathered some more to take home. As I was collecting my mushrooms a stmbled upon a fairly large hole next to a tree. The next thing I knew, I was tumbling down the hole. I landed at the bottom all confused.
I looked round to see what I thought was the same forest. I suddenly heard a voice, I looked up to see a talking cat smiling at me. He told me to follow the white rabbit, which rabbit I replied and then a white rabbit passed me by. I started to follow it and it was not long before I happened upon what looked like a tea party.
I was invited to sit at the table by a man in a large top hat who appeared to be quite mad. Also at the table were more talking animals and there was a parade of playing card marching and playing musical instruments. The parade was for the King and Queen of Hearts and was quite spectacular. I enjoyed the tea party and excused myself as I had to get back home.
I was guided back by the white rabbit and retured to where I had started picking mushrooms. If you want to have a similar adventure I suggest playing Forest of Wonders at your neares online casino.
5-Reel 25-line Slots
The object of Forest of Wonders is to obtain a winning symbol combination by spinning the reels.
To play the game:
Choose your coin size by clicking the + and - buttons on the right of the screen.
Choose your line bet by clicking the Bet Per Line button. Each click adds a coin to the line bet. Once you’ve reached the maximum amount, clicking the button again will reset the line bet to one coin.
Choose your paylines. You can click the Select Lines button to add a payline, or use the colored buttons on both sides of the reels. Whenever you select a higher payline, you’ll also select all the lower ones (i.e., if you activate payline 18, paylines 1 through 17 will be active as well). You can also click Bet Max to activate all the paylines and spin the reels.
The amount of money you bet on a game round is the line bet multiplied by the number of active paylines.
Click Spin (if you did not click Bet Max) to spin the reels.
If the reels show a winning combination after they stop (along a payline you bet on), you win according to the paytable. You can click the Paytable button to view the paytable. Close the pay table by clicking the Paytable button again. If you win on multiple paylines simultaneously, your winnings are added up.
Paylines
Active paylines are represented by lines that appear over the reels. You can activate paylines and see their shape by progressively clicking the Select Lines button.
Please note: You only win if a combination occurs on an active payline. The Scatter symbol is an exception to that rule. Read more about the Scatter symbol below.
Please note: There is a difference between the line bet and the total bet. The line bet shows how much you're betting on a single payline. The total bet shows how much you're spending in this game round. The payouts shown in the paytable are multiplied by the line bet, not by the total bet. If you get winning combinations on more than one payline, the winnings for each payline are added up.
About payouts:
Payouts are listed on the Paytable screen. To find the possible win amount, multiply the line bet by the payout.
If two winning combinations occur on the same line, the higher of them is paid out. If more than one active payline has a winning combination, the winnings are added up.
The winning combination must start from the leftmost reel, and the symbols have to be in a row.
The Wild symbol can stand for any other symbol (except Scatter and Bonus), to form the best possible winning combination. There is also a separate payout for several Wild symbols on an active payline.
Scatter symbol
The Scatter symbols do not have to occur on a particular payline in order to be considered as a winning combination; if there are three or more of them anywhere on the game screen, you get free spins (no money is deducted from your balance for them). Click on one of the Scatter symbols to collect your free spins - each symbol is worth a different number of them. You can win more free spins during a free spin.
Bonus symbol
If you get 3 or more Bonus symbols on an active payline, you are taken to the bonus round. There you can pick three mushrooms (out of 12). Each mushroom is worth a different amount. You can then cash out your bonus bank, or trade the sum of the prizes for another three picks. You can do this again, for a maximum of four attempts.
If you get more than three Bonus symbols on an active payline, the payout increases. Four symbols mean that all prizes are multiplied by 3. Five symbols mean that all prizes are multiplied by 10. The bonus symbols must be consecutive, but do not have to start from the leftmost reel.
Dollar Ball
This is a lotto-type progressive sidegame where you pick 5 numbers out of 49. Then once you start the main game, five numbers will be drawn randomly. The more numbers match your selection, the more you win. If all five numbers match, you win the Jackpot.
Dollar Ball resides in the top right part of the screen. Click Enable to play it. You will see a set of numbers, from 1 to 49. Click on any five of them to select manually (click again to deselect), or click on Random pick to have it done for you automatically. If you want to change the selected numbers, click on any number to start again. Click Activate to hide the numbers and confirm your selection. If you want to cancel the Dollar Ball game, click Disable.
Your numbers will be shown in a row of squares at the top of the screen. Once you start a round of the main game, the drawn numbers will appear just below them in the circles. If any of the numbers match your selection, the squares will change color and your win amount will appear below. It will be added to your balance along with any winnings from the main game round. You don’t have to win the main game round to win the sidegame.
Dollar Ball will be played along with every main game round, with the same numbers, until you either change the numbers or disable the sidegame.
The paytable for Dollar Ball can be found in the main game paytable. Click on the Dollar Ball Paytable button to access it.
Jackpot
One of the possible wins in this game is the progressive Jackpot. A small percentage of each bet, by every person playing this game in each of many online casinos, is added to a common pot. When a player gets the right result, that player wins the entire Jackpot (in some games you can also win part of it).
After a Jackpot has been won, a new pot is started, with the casinos contributing a base amount of money (called a seed). This ensures that even if you get a Jackpot result in a game right after someone else has won the Jackpot, you will still get a large win.
Each game has its own Jackpot, built up by all the casinos that offer the game.
Please note:
In some games you have to make a specific bet to be eligible for the Jackpot.
If you get disconnected in the middle of a game round, your game does not change the value of the Jackpot. The state of the game up to that point is remembered by the casino; the next time you log in you can finish your game round with the same odds and without placing a new bet.
If a Jackpot is being discontinued (a game is closed and removed from the casino client), you will be notified of it by the casino.
