Acorn Pixie from Bally: Slot Review - a forest full of magical riches!

Enter an enchanted wood where pixies and magic exist in this slot from acclaimed software provider Bally. According to legend, in a shady glen at the centre of this mysterious forest, a small group of pixies have made a nice little home for themselves. Led by their kind ruler the Acorn Pixie, these playful creatures like to have fun by playing the flute, throwing marbles, as well as wearing stripy stockings too! Join us as we step foot inside the forest to seek out the pixies to see if they will share some of their hidden riches with us?

Acorn Pixie is a 5 reel slot with 30 paylines that includes Sticky Wilds, Free Spins, and a Buy a Bonus option.

Special Features

The first feature to discuss is the Wild symbol which is represented by a pixie standing in front of a tree. This symbol replaces all other symbols apart from the Scatter to help create winning combinations on the reels. Keep an eye out for this symbol as it is also the most valuable symbol in the game. Land 5 Wilds on an active payline and you will be leaving the forest with a magical payout worth 20X your wager.

As you spin the reels, a cluster of 4 Wilds may randomly appear and be added to the reels in any position. This is known as the Cluster Wilds feature with Wilds appearing 2 wide and 2 high on the reels when it triggers.

The star attraction of this slot is the Acorn Pixie Bonus Game which is triggered when you land 3 Scatters anywhere on reels 2, 3, and 4 on the same spin. The Scatter symbol is illustrated by a pixie standing in front of a staircase. Once activated, you’ll be awarded 7 Free Spins and get to play on an expanded reel set that now features 50 paylines instead of 30. During this feature, any symbol that reveals the background picture becomes Wild and locks into place for the remainder of the feature. This greatly enhances your chances of landing a big win on the reels provided you get lots of Sticky Wilds here.

The last feature to talk about is the Buy a Bonus feature. This is a large square button that can be found at the upper left-corner of the reels and allows you to choose from 3 options to trigger the Acorn Pixie Bonus Game automatically by paying for it. The options include 6, 8, and 12 Free Spins with the latter costing a steep 100.00 to buy 12 Free Spins.

Theme, Graphics and Sound

Acorn Pixie features very impressive visuals as it takes place in a mysterious forest with mirror images of the main pixie character placed on opposite sides of the reels. Symbols are beautifully designed and consist of a bunch of Pixies, Flowers, Mushrooms, Boots, and Insects. If you look closely you will even spot a Pixie sporting a pair of black and white striped stockings! The animations are wonderful as symbols zip down the reels and are covered in fairy dust and highlighted by a bright blue frame when part of a win on the reels. The Acorn Pixie Bonus Game deserves a special mention here as it is played on a much larger reel structure with symbols revealing a hidden background as you spin the reels. It is a really neat graphical effect.

The music is jaunty and playful with an uplifting soundtrack used. It ties in quite well with the Fantasy theme of the game.

Our Verdict on Acorn Pixie

This game comes from the creative minds at Bally and is a fun gaming experience inside an enchanted wood full of pixies. It features wonderful graphics, exquisite animations, along with a reasonable amount of bonus features to keep you spinning those reels for countless hours. The Cluster Wild random bonus feature triggered quite often with lots of Extra Wilds popping up on the reels but it is the Acorn Pixie Bonus Game where you can land the biggest wins. As it is here where you can benefit from lots of Sticky Wilds to really boost your chances of landing a magical payout on the reels. The only downsides to this feature are that unfortunately, the Cluster Wild feature is not active here and sadly it is also not possible to retrigger more Free Spins. The top prize for this game is a decent 1,000X your wager. When it comes to variance, I would say it is Medium with wins occurring quite often the more you play.
