beastwood slot theme, stakes, pays & symbols

It’s pretty difficult to nail what exactly the theme of the Beastwood online slot is meant to be – I guess it’s all about beasts who live in the woods, although that sounds like a serious copout when I read it back! Let’s look at things objectively, though – we have a hunter guy, a selection of deformed animals, and a few low-paying royal symbols filling a bunch of reels that look as if they are situated in a hut in the middle of some dark, foreboding woods. How else would you describe this scenario? If the game weren’t called “Beastwood”, I would very likely have reached the same conclusion with regards to the theme of this game. On that note, I’m sticking with it – Beastwood is a game based on beasts who live in the woods! It has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?

Let’s get serious for a moment – open up the paytable, and you will see the wild takes pride of place at the top of the list, but it has no payout of its own, so it pays identically to the single “high win” symbol. The high win symbol is the hunter character mentioned previously, but he only returns 2.5x your stake for a full pay way. How do we define a full pay way – well, it’s three matching symbols from left to right, but that is far from the full story. 

Each time an extra reel is added to the right of the reel set, an additional 2x multiplier will boost the value of the paytable symbol combinations. Once the game reaches its maximum width of six symbols, the hunter character should be worth 20x your bet rather than just 2.5x as the prize has been doubled three times. That’s not the whole story, though, as you are paid at each stage of the process – 2.5x, followed by 5x, followed by 10x, followed by 20x. So now we are at 37.5x for the high-paying symbol… could you make this any simpler at all, Quickspin?!

As mentioned previously, there are four “medium-pay” symbols featuring deformed-looking animal creatures. Still, these all have a payoff of just 0.5x or 1x your stake for the minimum three-of-a-kind configuration. They could potentially be boosted up to 8x your bet once the screen reaches its full size, but here’s the thing – these still are not the maximum returns for any of the symbols we have discussed. The reels can keep scrolling after reaching their full width of six symbols, so it's pretty much impossible to know the maximum payout for any symbol on the paytable.

Of course, you can quantify how much you will lose for each paid spin – a minimum of €0.20 is required to play, and Quickspin will accept bets of up to €100.00 per spin as long as the casino you are playing with permits such huge stakes. Be careful here – this is a super high variance online slot and could empty your bankroll in short order if you set your bet size too high.

base game & modifiers

I hope the previous section didn’t sound too negative regarding Beastwood video slot – you only have to play the base game for ten minutes, and the potential for huge wins will undoubtedly become apparent to you, so I don’t have a problem with the paytable as such. My issue is merely with the opaque nature of the numbers shown on the paytable, which means that you are going to be forced to rely on the game telling you how much your spins are worth at the end of the reel expansion phase rather than being able to simply look at the screen and work it out for yourself.

Let’s move on. The base game begins on an unusual 3x4 reel layout which will expand if you hit a three-of-a-kind winning combination. When this expansion occurs, the reel setup will increase until it reaches its maximum width of 6x4. After this, new reels will continue spawning on the screen's right-hand side. However, the leftmost reel will be removed to make way for the new column of symbols.

In my view, this makes Beastwood a 64 – 4,096 pay way online slot, not an unlimited pay way slot as Quickspin suggests. My reasoning for this is that no matter how many times the reels scroll to the left, there will never be more than 4,096 payways visible on the screen at any one time. I see the logic in Quickspin’s view, however, as prizes are awarded between each expansion phase, which means you could theoretically win on the maximum 4,096 payways before the grid scrolls. You can then win on a NEW set of 4,096 payways. If you find this difficult to visualise, please fire up our free demo slot at the top of the page, which should help you work out what I am referring to.
