If you've been looking for a relaxing woodland-themed slot with a wintery twist, you're in luck - Pragmatic Play's new slot Timber Stacks might be right up your street.
Upon first opening Timber Stacks, you are transported to a stunning mountain valley. There's an upbeat yet gentle soundtrack playing, and you can hear the soft hoot of the owls and snuffling of the bears as daisies sway in the meadow and the forest and snow-capped mountains stand tall in the distance. It's a calming scene, and it puts us at ease immediately.
Gameplay
The game itself consists of five reels and five rows, and in addition to the traditional letters and number icons we all know and love, there are owls, fish, big cats and bears, as well as the mountain, which is the wild and substitutes for all symbols except the scatter. The scatter symbol can be spotted by the paw that’s on it.
The reels can extend for individual spins up to a maximum of 10x5, and there's a maximum of 100,000 ways to win and a max win of 10,000x your bet available here, giving you plenty of chances to bag some cash.
Timber Stacks has an RTP of 96.05% and a high volatility level, making it more suitable for players with larger budgets and the patience to wait for bigger but potentially infrequent wins.
Features and bonuses
There is scope for multiple wins from just one spin, thanks to the tumble feature, which occurs upon a winning spin and replaces the winning symbols with new ones. This continues until there are no more winning symbols appearing on the reels.
The increasing grid feature can happen at random. When it does, an empty row of symbols is added to the bottom of the screen and one of the reels falls to the bottom. If reels one or two fall, all their symbols will fall to the right and new symbols will drop down from above to replace them. If it's reel three that falls, its symbols will fall to the right or left at random, and again, new symbols will fall in from the top to replace them. If reels four or five fall, the symbols will fall to the left and will be replaced by new symbols dropping in from the top.
If you manage to land four or five scatter symbols in a spin, you'll trigger eight or ten free spins respectively. When this happens, the night will fall and you will be transported to a beautiful snowy scene, where animals wander in the background and the music becomes even more energising. The increasing grid size feature will also be triggerable during the free spins feature.
Top tip: throughout the game, you'll have the option to select the bet multiplier yourself. If you choose to set it to 25x, more scatter symbols will appear on the reels and you will have a higher chance of triggering the free spins feature. Free spins are also available for you to buy during normal play.
