Pixies of the Forest on a phone

SIDEWAYS ONLY 3.1 s TO PLAYABLE TIGHT BUTTONS FREE DEMO

No portrait build. It is in the 104 titles out of 306 that still expect a sideways phone, and it loads in 3.1 s.

4 TAPS FROM THE LOBBY Search box to a spinning board

Sideways only, and even then the controls sit close together. The stepper is a millimetre from the button that spends money. The demo pulls about 13 MB before the first tap registers, which on a poor bar is where the 3.1 s goes. Getting money back out is a separate count and we keep it at cashout.

One build, one return figure

One build, 94.9%, no variants. Worth appreciating: 123 of the 306 titles on this board carry two or three return configurations and look identical in all of them, so this is one of the few pages where the number is simply the number.

Where it sits on the board

On the phone score it lands 252 of 306. Orientation carries the most weight, the wait carries the next, the buttons carry the rest. The board median is 2.1 s, so this one costs you an extra 1 s a session.

IGT has 6 titles on this board, 4 of them upright, with a median load of 2.9 s.

What the game is

Out in 2012. IGT built it as 5x3, 99 lines with tumbling reels. Enchanted-forest classic and one of the first Tumbling Reels slots, chaining cascade wins across 99 lines.

Volatility reads low, so the balance moves in small steps, and fifty spins will mislead you either way. Minimum stake is C$0.33, which is about 61 spins on a twenty. Ceiling is 1,000x and it is not going to happen to you.
