Beastwood, a new video slot game from Quickspin, finally debuts.

Quickspin, a Swedish creator of online casino games, has finally released its long-awaited new Beastwood video slot, equipped with a revolutionary mechanism that allows iGaming enthusiasts to win up to 29,520 times their triggering bet.

The Stockholm-based company announced in a press statement that the next installment in its high-volatility series is set in a forest and introduces a new protagonist named Mr. Beastwood. The creator said that the character is "packaged up in gorgeous graphics with monsters and beasts" and has the potential to be used "across other games in the future."

Predecessor groundwork:

Quickspin, which has been around since 2011, has announced that its latest video slot, Beastwood, will use its Endless Reels function, which is based on technology first seen in 2017's Wins of Fortune slot and popularised by the Wild Chase: Tokyo Go game three years prior. The company has also stated that the game is perfect for online casino gamers who are "looking for big wins and big production games," and that it "promises to be an immediate cult classic."

New and exciting improvement:

Quickspin, which was acquired by Playtech, a British pioneer in omni-channel gaming software and services, in March 2016, stated that Beastwood has four reels to begin with and is likely to be quite successful in European countries like Sweden and the United Kingdom. But the trailblazer let slip that the thrills will soon be double with each additional reel added, as prizes from the fifth reel and every third reel after that would be multiplied by two.

Differences in style:

Quickspin claims that iGaming operators can achieve "healthy margins in any market" with Beastwood thanks to a choice of three return to player ratios (RTPs) of 87%, 94%, and 96%. It was also mentioned that players may get 10 attempts at the free spins feature by collecting 4 scatter icons, that the Golden X Wild symbols can substitute for any other symbol, and that there is a bonus purchase option.

Motivated looking into:

In a press statement, Quickspin's Clint Andersson said, tongue-in-cheek, that the game's central subject, "monsters usually live in the woods," was inspired by "extensive research." The creator went on to say that this provided the company with "a spectacular name for the protagonist of our new intellectual property" since "monsters plus the woods equals Beastwood," the name of the game.

Here's what Andersson had to say about it.

To implement this new Quickspin feature, we needed a fresh face to take centre stage. The notion of the protagonist employing a large harpoon with a gold chain to trap the monster symbols on the reels was inspired by the game's maths, which centre on trapping symbols in lengthy chains of ways.
