Fairytale Legends: Red Riding Hood

In the famous tale, ill-fated Red Riding Hood encounters all manner of creatures on her woodland journey before getting chomped by the Big Bad Wolf (who is actually a pretty decent chap in this slot). Let’s join her and see if we can’t have a couple of spins on the way to grandma’s house.

The Graphics

A nice looking game, the 3D graphics in Red Riding Hood slot are simple yet detailed and with a birdsong soundtrack. I’m sure I have seen those teeth on Wolfie before. The cartoon graphics are top notch – right up there with the like of Sam on the Beach and Esqueleto Explosivo. In fact, the first time I loaded it up I thought it must have been a Rabcat slot game like Moby Dick or the Forsaken Kingdom.

Fairytale Legends: Red Riding Hood Slot Game Play

This legend comes with 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 pay-lines, while bets start at £0.20 per spin and go all the way up to £200.

Your symbols on the reels include; a book, a shield, a key, a rose and the Fairy Tale Legends logo plus the standard 10, J, Q, K & A playing cards that will act as your low value icons.

Red Riding Hood is the wild symbol and she will appear on reels 2, 3 and 4 in the base game meanwhile the blue and gold treasure chest is your bonus scatter symbol. I need to have a word with her about her choice of friends though. Get ready for a smörgåsbord of features – this game matches the Finn and the Swirly Spin slot on that front and that is no mean feat!

Sticky Win Re-Spins

This game comes replete with re-spins and sticky wilds. When 2 or more wilds land they become sticky wilds and stay in place on the reels, and you will then be given a re-spin. As long as the wilds keep on landing, you will keep on getting sticky wilds with re-spins. Keep ’em coming Sam!

The Bonuses

During the base game you’ll encounter 3 bonus features that can be triggered randomly:

Fairy Magic Spin
A cluster of 5 to 9 medium value symbols appear for one spin, offering you more chances at gaining winning combinations.

Fairy Surprise
No, this isn’t a washing-up liquid promotion, but rather a nifty bonus feature. When you land a non-winning spin during the base game the feature is activated. One of the main symbols is selected and all lower all symbols gradually change into that one until a payout is given.

Fairy Wild Spin
The fairy awards you with 3x or 4x wilds on the middle reels, plus an extra Sticky Wild Re-Spin after your win has been paid. What a nice chap! Or chappess.

There are also 3 other bonuses that are activated by landing 3x bonus treasure chest symbols are on reels 1, 3, and 5. Manage this and you’ll need to choose between:

Beware of the Wolf Bonus
This is a board game type feature with 5 choices; a Coin Win, Arrow, Double, Jackpot Coin Win, and Collect. Us players can pick up coins and prizes as we make their way through the forest. Ol’ Wolfie seems like a friendly sort after all….

Free Spins Round,
Here 10 Free Spins are awarded to you. Not a bad package!

Coin Win
A payout equal to the current bet with a 15x multiplier is added to your balance which is highly generous indeed.

The Monkey Verdict

NetEnt have taken a classic story and turned it into an action packed game – and if bonuses are your thing then the Fairytale Legends Red Riding Hood slot with its bells and whistles will be your idea of spinning heaven.

This is a medium variance game that has all of the hallmarks of another smash hit. Recommended.
