Help Red Riding Hood make it to Grandma's house and win a big payout in the process!

We all know of the much-loved fairy tale of Red Riding Hood who journeys through a dangerous forest on the way to see her Grandma while a hungry Big Bad Wolf eagerly awaits her arrival. NetEnt decided to make a game all about this classic story but added a sprinkle of magic with a group of fairies thrown into the mix who are there to aid Red Riding Hood on her quest to make it to Grandma's house safely.

It is a 5 reel slot with 20 paylines that includes as Free Spins, Sticky Wild Respins, Random Features and a whole lot more.

Special Features

The first thing to highlight about this game is the Fairytale Legends logo symbol. It is the highest paying symbol in the game and if you are lucky enough to land 5 of these symbols then you will bag yourself a wonderful 400X your original wager!

The Wild symbol is represented by a smiling Red Riding Hood and it only appears on reels 2, 3, and 4. If 2 or more of these symbols appear on the reels then you will trigger the Sticky Wilds Respins feature. When activated, the Wild symbols will remain in place and you will be awarded a free respin. If you land another Wild, then you’ll receive another respin. A neat thing about this feature is that every spin will give you a win until no more Wild symbols appear on the reels.

Fairytale Legends: Red Riding Hood features 3 excellent Random Features that can pop up at any time as you play the game. They are as followed:

Fairy Magic Spin: A fairy will magically appear on screen and place 5 – 9 medium value symbols on the reels for one spin.

Fairy Wild Spin: 3 or 4 Wild symbols will randomly appear on reels 2, 3, and 4 during a spin. Once the reels stop and you have been paid out, a Sticky Wild Respin is awarded.

Fairy Surprise: Sometimes when you don’t land a win, a fairy will pop up and select a random symbol on the screen and will magically transform other symbols into that symbol until a win is formed.

The game also features 3 fantastic Bonus Features. To trigger these games, you will need to land 3 Bonus symbols on reels 1, 3, and 5. The Bonus symbol is illustrated by a blue and golden treasure chest. The Bonus Features are listed below and to activate them, you need to pick from one of three chests.

Beware The Wolf Bonus: This is a fun board-game type mini-game where the player has to move around a forest trial collecting coins along the way. It is possible to get wins of up to 200X if you make it to Grandma’s house but try to avoid landing on the Red Cross or this feature will end.

Free Spins: In this feature, you will be awarded 10 Free Spins and the chance to get an additional 2 Free Spins for every Bonus symbol you land in this game. That is not all as if you land a Wild Symbol you will also be given a free respin. This continues until no more Wild symbols appear on the reels.

Coin Win: This is the least exciting Bonus feature but if you select this treasure chest then you will be awarded an instant cash prize of 15X your original stake.

Theme, Graphics and Sound

The game features some wonderfully cute graphics as Red Riding Hood traipses her way through the forest and walks a few steps each time you press the spin button. The forest is covered in a bright orange and purple glow with fireflies buzzing among the trees. Symbols range from roses, magical books, keys, treasure chests, and royal insignias. The animations are definitely worth a mention as Red Riding Hood smiles and moves along carrying her basket of food as you play the game. I did enjoy how her eyes enlarge like in a Japanese cartoon whenever a fairy shows up and a Random Feature begins.

The music is playful and very atmospheric. It suits the theme of the game superbly.
