Expanse Studio has been on a roll with its slots lately. The Forest Rock slot is another proof of it. By combining two fun themes such as forest animals and rock music, the latest release by the Maltese studio may end up its finest.

A game with 15 fixed paylines and an RTP of 96.07%, Forest Rock showcases all of the studio’s strengths. It’s a simple slot for beginners and a fun hit for high rollers. Thanks to the exciting gameplay and fun features, you will rock the reels in this forest.
You can try the game for free or real money at Meridianbet casino and win big if you’re lucky.

Forest Rock Slot Details
The fun and colorful Forest Rock online slot comes with five reels in three rows. Don’t let the colorful theme fool you – beneath the funny symbols and all, there’s a pretty great math model. The coolest thing about the slot machine is that it’s very easy to play – simply line up symbols across the 15 paylines and get your payout.

The reels are populated by forest animals who love rock music. There’s a bunny rocker, a bear rocking a radio, an elephant drummer, and a fox guitarist. The character symbols pay more – the vine-laden card royals pay less. Line up five elephants for 2,000 coins or five lions for 1,000. The wild is the game’s logo that substitutes all symbols and doubles your wins instantly.

To start the game, you should set your bet size first. You can go between 0.1 and 1 coins per payline, which means the total bet ranges between 0.15 and 15 coins. Set your bet size to your preferences and then hit the Spin button to start the game. There’s also an Autoplay button that allows up to 250 auto spins played at regular or turbo speed.

There are no special features in the base game, but the real big wins come in the free spins round.

Forest Rock Slot Machine Free Spins
Instead of a scatter that triggers the free spins round, winline wins with matching symbols activate it. How many free spins you get depends on the number of symbols you land. For example, five symbols will get you 5 free spins while four of a kind bring you two.

The coolest thing about the free spins bonus round is that all wins are doubled. Any winline awards extra spins, with the number of extra spins from winning combinations on different paylines being added together. The free spins are played at the bet that triggered the round. Keep that in mind since a higher bet also means greater chances to win big.

As a cherry on top, you can gamble all the wins you get in the Forest Rock slot up to five times in a row. The maximum threshold you can win with the Gamble feature is €2,000, which isn’t a bad prize after all. However, keep in mind that you can also lose it all, so be mindful of this feature.

Rock the Reels and Win Big!
With cool graphics and even cooler tunes, Expanse Studios has once again hit the jackpot with the Forest Rock slot. The studio has done a great job with the slot which is fun and engaging and can be lucrative as well.

Hit the right combinations in the free spins round for sky-high doubled wins. Rock the reels with this fun and exciting slot and you’ll be in for great rewards. Play it right now at Meridianbet casino and enjoy – we’re sure you’ll love it.

Esports Charts, the leading esports viewership analytics provider, has partnered with StarLadder, a pioneering tournament organiser. The Budapest Major 2025 marks a highly anticipated comeback for StarLadder, as it is their first Counter-Strike Major since 2019 and a significant return to the top-tier esports arena.

As the official analytics partner of the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025, Esports Charts will provide comprehensive, real-time audience data and insights throughout the event. This will empower organisers, teams, sponsors and fans with unparalleled transparency and a deeper understanding of the tournament’s global reach.

Artyom Odintsov, Co-founder and CEO of Esports Charts, said: “We are thrilled and proud to provide viewership analytics for StarLadder for the Budapest Major 2025. Since both Esports Charts and StarLadder are Ukraine-born companies, we share similar values and deal with similar challenges, which brings us even closer.

“It’s genuinely exciting to follow how viewership will develop at this Major. But knowing the expertise, drive, and passion that the organizers are bringing, I have no doubt we’ll witness some incredible things happen in Budapest.

“Esports Charts has always been driven by a mission to provide the esports community with accurate, actionable data, and we look forward to showcasing the impact and audience engagement of this world-class event.”

StarLadder has been a driving force in global esports for almost 15 years now, since hosting its first tournaments in 2011. Renowned for its innovation and reliability, the company has organised some of the industry’s most iconic events. These include the StarLadder Berlin Major 2019, which accumulated over 44 million hours watched and remains in the top 10 CS events by this metric, and the legendary StarSeries tournaments which started back in 2012.

Viacheslav Shcherbakov, Sales and Partnerships at StarLadder, said: “We’ve been working with Esports Charts since their founding and have always valued their professionalism and integrity. In a market where reliable data is essential, Esports Charts provides honest, transparent numbers, exactly the kind of insights sponsors and stakeholders rely on when assessing the potential reach of a World Championship event.

“We’re confident that this partnership will result in a high-quality analysis of our tournament’s performance and the audience data we’ll report to our partners. It’s a collaboration built on trust, shared values, and a deep understanding of what it takes to elevate esports to the next level.”

The Starladder Budapest Major 2025 will be held from November 24 to December 14 in Budapest, Hungary. The event will bring together the world’s top 32 Counter-Strike 2 teams to compete for a $1.25 million prize pool and one of the most prestigious titles in esports.
