Video Game Reviews of Reel Deal Slots Mystic ForestCustomer Review: A few minor negatives, but an overall winner - one of the best Summary: 4 StarsBought this at a brick & mortar store for my wife. She loves slots, and I get bored easily at real casinos, so PC based slots are the perfect compromise.
What I liked about RDS Mystic Forest was the absolute control you have over the game. Contrary to another review, all aspects of the sound are controllable and completely variable as opposed to a simple on-off. It installs cleanly, runs on Vista, X64 and X86 systems, and the sound and graphics are in a word, spectacular. Game play is smooth, and in the offline mode, payouts are set to 180% so wins are frequent, but still exciting. There are a mere three keyboard shortcuts, but that's really all you need, Bet one, Bet Max, or repeat last play. There is even an MP3 player so you can replace the canned music with selections from your own MP3 library if you want. Personally, I like the music selections for each game, so I have no need for the MP3 player, but if you get bored, it's nice to have the option to change things up.
On the downside, this is yet another game that (in theory) requires the CD to be in the drive in order to play (at least is does in version 1.4) While that is incredibly annoying, there are a wealth of No CD mods available (Google is your friend) online and they work. What can't be changed is that it only runs in windowed mode, there is no full screen option that I've found. Another negative is that the online updates are dog slow, and seemingly take forever.
Still, all in all, we like it much better than the other game we purchased today, (Bally's Slots Dual Pack) or any of the other slots we've bought. It is infinitely better than the various online only slot options. This game cost twice what the other did, but for my money, it was a better deal, even with the minor annoyances. For my money, Phantom EFX offers the best and most realistic slot games out there, and they offer much better value than the cheaper competitors.
Customer Review: A Fantasy Land! Summary: 5 StarsI really love to play this game. There is really nothing hard or too challenging with the Mystic Forest. It is a relaxing, fantasy escape! Lose yourself in the Mystic Forest! It's the next best thing to being at the casino.
Customer Review: Lots of Slot Fun! Summary: 5 StarsThis game will get you as close to the real thing as possible and not cost you a cent. If you're looking for affordable entertainment in the slot venue, this is the game for you.
Customer Review: awesome game Summary: 5 StarsI play this game everyday (not online). The graphics are spectactular.
I would recommend this game for anyone.
Customer Review: Inferior game compared to previous Phantom EFX slots Summary: 2 StarsIf you own other Phantom EFX slot games such as Bonus Mania or Nickels & More, Mystic Forest may be a disappointment. Technically, installation is a problem with obvious glitches in the system. Most games are simplistic, lacking challenge and interest. Not all games have bonus rounds, and few have various levels to work your way thru in those rounds. For those who like to play stand alone offline slot games, this is not one of Phantom's better efforts--the co. seems more focused now on creating online subscriber "full casino" services.
