Pixies of the Forest slot: 99 lines, tumbles and pick-a-pixie spins
IGT's woodland fairy slot with 99 Connected Lines, a tumble feature and free spins chosen by picking a bonus symbol.
A woodland fairy theme from the casino floor: Pixies of the Forest is an IGT game that moved from casino cabinets to the web in January 2012. The Pixies of the Forest slot uses five reels, three rows and 99 paylines, with a tumble feature, free spins of up to 11 rounds, medium volatility, a 94.9% RTP and a top win of 2,000x the stake. It is the original game, not Pixies of the Forest II or Pixies vs Pirates.

Connected Lines: why the stake starts at £0.33
IGT's Connected Lines system ties paylines to coins rather than letting you choose lines one by one. Each coin covers 3 lines, and all 99 lines are in play for 33 coins. That is why the minimum bet on the spec card is £0.33 rather than a round figure: the game is built to have every line active. For a player who prefers to keep things simple, there is nothing to configure beyond the coin value.
Tumbles in the base game
Winning symbols are removed after a payout and replaced by new ones falling into place, which can create a further win from the same paid spin. Between free spins, a chain of tumbles is the main way a single stake turns into more than one payout.
Choosing a pixie for free spins
The free spins round begins with a small choice. When the bonus symbols land, you pick one of the triggering symbols, and it reveals how many free spins you receive, up to 11. Treat the pick as a reveal rather than a skill decision: the paytable at your casino explains how the round is settled.
Return, volatility and the 94.9% figure
At 94.9%, the published return sits below many newer video slots. Over a very long run, that means a little more of each pound staked is kept by the game than on a title returning 96%. It does not predict what happens in a session, and medium volatility means wins arrive at a fairly steady rate without the long droughts of high-volatility games. The spec card relies on a single database source for these figures, so check the game's help screen at your casino, which shows the build it runs. The slot volatility guide explains the ratings.
The £990 maximum bet and GB rules
The game itself allows stakes up to £990 a spin. In Great Britain that figure cannot be reached. Online slot stakes are capped at £5 per game cycle for adults and £2 for players aged 18 to 24, so a GB casino offering Pixies of the Forest must hold the stake within those limits. With a £0.33 minimum, the playable range here is narrow. More detail is in the online slot stake limits guide.
Is there a Pixies of the Forest demo?
Not here: this page explains the game rather than hosting it. The Pixies of the Forest demo is something to look for on IGT's website or in the demo mode some licensed casinos provide. A GB casino will ask you to pass age and identity checks first, because the rules apply to free play as much as to paid spins. In demo form the Connected Lines and tumbles behave just as they do for real stakes.
IGT is named in the provider lists of the casinos shown with this page; whether this 2012 title is in a given lobby is a question for that lobby's search.
