Design

Behind the gaming grid of Forest Frenzy lies a blue sky with a few dotted clouds which overlooks a green forest teeming with insect life, small mammals and other flora and fauna in addition to colourful mushrooms. The symbols are drawn in a pretty simplistic way with a cartoonish feel and the colours are bright and vibrant which suits the nature theme perfectly.

The reels themselves feature the foraging items and higher-value symbols like Beaver, Raccoon and Squirrel along with Mushrooms, Pine Cones and Acorns. Low-paying are the card letters Q, J, K. Players can line up five Squirrels for payouts up to 4,000 coins on the 25 paylines.

Features

The pine cones are the wild symbols in Forest Frenzy and these substitute for all the other symbols in the game in order to make winning combinations with the exception of the scatter and bonus symbols. The scatter symbol is represented by the acorns and these are responsible for releasing free spins for players. The bonus symbol is symbolised as the rare mushrooms and these are responsible for unleashing the Acorn Treasure Bonus feature where rich payouts and cash prizes lie.

With the humble mushroom players are able to trigger the rewarding Acorn Treasure Bonus and when they line up three of these mushrooms on the reels they are able to collect 900 golden bonus coins. Here is where another screen opens up for players and they are presented with acorns filled with various different coin prizes. Players will need to pick an acorn and the squirrel is at hand to aid them in cracking these open to reveal the relevant bonus points and prizes.

When players land the acorn scatter symbols on the first and fifth reel the Free Spins Feature is triggered and players are initially given between two to five free spins to try their luck. They are then presented with extra opportunities to re-trigger both the Acorn Treasure Bonus and the Free Spins feature itself.
