How many times can an expanding symbol be selected in Forgotten?

Up to 9 times in a single bonus round — each Free Spins retrigger selects a new symbol to become expanding.

What is needed for a symbol to expand?

At least 2 high- or medium-value symbols, or 3 low-value symbols. They do not need to be adjacent on the reels.

What does the notebook Scatter do in Forgotten?

It acts as both a Wild, substituting for symbols in winning lines, and a bonus trigger — 3 Scatters award 10 Free Spins.

How many Bonus Buy options are available?

Four — you can start with 1, 2, 4, or 8 expanding symbols. The price increases with the bet size.

Can Free Spins be retriggered indefinitely in Forgotten?

Yes, every new set of 3+ Scatters in a single spin adds another 10 Free Spins, with no stated limit on the number of retriggers.

Forgotten (BGaming) Free Demo and Slot Review

Returning to an abandoned childhood home leads to forgotten toys and a mysterious notebook pointing toward the attic — Forgotten from BGaming turns a ghost story into a tense hunt for expanding symbols.

10 paylines, Very-high volatility, 96.89% RTP, Hit Rate 3.42, up to x7,500 max multiplier.

How it works

The brightest, most characterful toys on the reels are the high- and mid-value symbols, while the dimmer ones cover the low pays. The Scatter-Wild symbol pulls double duty: it acts as a Wild, substituting for any symbol in a winning line, while also functioning as the Scatter that triggers the Bonus game.

Bonus features

💡 Scatter-Wild and Free Spins

3+ Scatter-Wild symbols in a single spin trigger 10 Free Spins. The round retriggers with no limit whenever 3+ Scatter-Wilds land again during the Bonus game.

💡 Expanding symbol

During Free Spins, one symbol (other than Scatter) is randomly selected to become an Expanding symbol. To expand, 2+ high or medium symbols, or 3+ low symbols, need to land — they don't need to be adjacent to produce an extra win. Up to 9 different Expanding symbols can be chosen across a single Bonus round through retriggers, and all of them stay active until the round ends.

💡 Chance x2 and Buy Bonus

Chance x2 slightly raises your bet and doubles your odds of triggering the attic Bonus game. It's disabled while Buy Bonus is active, which lets you purchase a round of 10 Free Spins directly with 1, 2, 4, or 8 Expanding symbols already in play — the price is shown in a pop-up and scales with your bet.

Volatility

A Hit Rate of 3.42 in BGaming's 1-to-N format means a win roughly every 3–4 spins (≈29% winning spins) — the base game hits fairly often, while Very-high volatility and the big potential come from a rare bonus (FS Rate 172.68) and stacking Expanding symbols. The 96.89% RTP unfolds mostly through those Expanding symbols across unlimited Free Spins retriggers. An x7,500 stake ceiling (up to €255,000 listed max win) makes this one of the riskier titles in the horror genre.

Pros

Unlimited Free Spins retriggers on new Scatter-Wilds
Up to 9 different Expanding symbols per round, staying active until the bonus ends
Buy Bonus lets you choose the starting number of Expanding symbols (1, 2, 4, or 8)
An atmospheric horror theme with jumpscares adds emotional engagement

Cons

Base-game wins are mostly small — the potential sits in Free Spins and stacked Expanding symbols
Just 10 paylines limit the number of combinations per spin
Chance x2 and Buy Bonus are mutually exclusive — you can't run both at once
