Software (9)
The Cryptologic software is excellent in most respects. It functions smoothly and provides a number of customization features like game speeds and settings in the Auto Play. However some facilities offered by other software providers are lacking. One is game statistics. The sound effects are taken as one parameter for enabling or disabling purposes with no distinction being made between game sound, win sound and background sound.
Easy to Understand (10)
Forrest Gump is easy to understand. The pay table and game rules can be accessed from within the game.
Graphics & Sounds (10)

Theme and Concept (10)
Forrest Gump was an extremely popular movie and the slot game will carry that brand equity. The three main characters from the story appear as symbols on the reels. Important stages in Forrest Gump’s life are also depicted as appropriate symbols on the reels. The highlight of the thematic value of this slot game is the Box of Chocolates feature. Gump says, "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get." This is exactly what happens in this free spins feature.
Game Features (10)
The standard features of online slots like wild symbols, multipliers and scatter symbols are present in the Forrest Gump slot game. The game also has the customary bonus features of free spins and the bonus game on the second screen. The free spins feature has an interesting twist. It is played on a different set of reels, with different symbols and a different payout table.
Betting Options (9)
The player can manipulate only two of the betting options, which reduce flexibility to some extent. The betting range is such that the slot game would not attract the very high rollers. The maximum total bet is only 500.00 credits.
Jackpots (10)
Forrest Gump is connected to the five level Hollywood Jackpots progressive network. Despite this it offers an attractive first fixed jackpot of 5000 coins, which can get doubled if the combination is made with the help of wild symbols.
