Charms of the Forest Slot by RealTime Gaming

Twisted vine lettering on the card symbols, a thatched-roof cottage tucked behind the left reel, and a white unicorn rendered in a gold circular frame - the whole grid sits inside a woodland clearing lit by warm amber light filtering through gnarled tree canopy. High-paying symbols are a unicorn, a butterfly with blue-orange wings, a glowing blue crystal lotus, and a purple mushroom. The Tree Spirit scatter is a carved green stone face, a Green Man motif in a brown frame, and three of those anywhere on the reels award 8 free spins.

During those 8 free spins, the Forest Fairy Wild changes behavior. In the base game she's a standard substitute (everything except scatter and Golden Apple), but in free spins she expands to fill her entire reel. A single fairy landing on reel 3 turns all three positions Wild. Get two fairies on separate reels and you're looking at 6 Wild positions out of 15 total, which pushes most payline combinations into winning territory.

Golden Apples carry multiplier values - x1, x4, x7, x9, x10 based on what I've seen land - and they drive a separate Hold & Spin round. Six or more trigger Hold & Spin. All apples lock, you get 3 respins, and each new apple resets that counter back to 3. When it ends, the multiplier values on every locked apple are collected. But the apples also feed the four-tier jackpot sitting above the reels: land 2 apples for Mini (20x), 3 for Minor (50x), 4 for Major (150x), or 5 for Grand (500x). The jackpot values are modest, and they're fixed to bet size rather than progressive, so the Grand at a $1 bet pays $500 flat.

No buy bonus, so both features trigger organically. The fantasy art has more detail than you'd expect from RTG - the mushrooms glow faintly purple, the butterfly wings catch light differently depending on their reel position, and the forest backdrop has depth with layered foliage receding into shadow behind the cottages.
