Beastwood review

Theme and Storyline

Beastwood is themed around a haunting forest filled with monsters.

Players venture into a dark world ruled by fantastical beasts, some ferocious and some more adorable. With help from a wayward monster-hunting pirate, players might survive the night.

This slot is a good fit for players who are looking for a little magic and adventure.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

The soundtrack is filled with tension-inducing drum beats and the moans of distant monsters. The delicate singing of crickets adds to the night time atmosphere.

As players enter the slot, they’ll see an eerie forest with slug-like monsters baring their pointy teeth. In the distance, a pirate stands in the moonlight, his musket in hand.

Next, players will find themselves in a cozy cabin with a roaring fire and a purple scroll of reels before them. Among the symbols they’ll find a variety of monsters in hues of green, blue, gold, and red.

One of the beasts is bear-like with extra long fangs, while another has one eye and sharp horns. Another of these creatures has a broken tusk and a forlorn expression. Some players might wonder if perhaps the pirate is a monster in the beasts’ world.

Those with sharp eyes will notice beast heads mounted on the wall and the pelt of a horned monster lying in front of the fire. This suggests that the monsters might have good reason to defend their wood.

Overall, the soundtrack and animation of Beastwood creates an engaging fantasy world.

Gameplay

Beastwood begins as a three-reel, four-row slot. A reel is then added each time players land a winning combination, with the process continuing if the expansion generates another win.

Wins are awarded for landing 3 or more matching symbols in adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel.

The maximum win is x29541 players’ total bet.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

The Wild symbol substitutes for all symbols except the Bonus symbol.

During the base game, a reel multiplier is associated with reel 5 as well as every third reel after that. This means a multiplier of x2 will apply to wins created on these reels.

If players land at least 2 matching symbols in the same reel, they will receive a win multiplier that increases with the number of matching symbols landed.

When players land 4 or more Bonus symbols, the Free Spins feature begins, starting with 10 free spins. Players can be awarded 3 additional free spins for each additional Bonus symbol that triggers the feature. Throughout the Free Spins, a x2 multiplier is applied to reel 4 as well as any reels to its right. During the feature, players can be awarded 1 additional free spin for each Scatter that lands.

Players can buy directly into the Free Spins feature by selecting the Buy Bonus option.
