Fairytale Legends: Mirror Mirror from NetEnt: Slot Review - who is the luckiest of them all?

This new game is the latest entry in the hugely popular Fairytale Legends series from award-winning software studio NetEnt. In the previous games, we have helped Hansel and Gretel escape a nasty witch while also guiding Red Riding Hood safely to her Grandma’s house. This time around, it’s Snow White who is the star of this online slot as she lives in an enchanted forest with 7 Dwarfs away from her evil stepmother who is unaware that her stepdaughter is still alive and kicking. Will Snow White find love and return to her kingdom to have her own happily ever after? Let’s spin those reels to find out!

Fairytale Legends: Mirror Mirror is a 5 reel slot with 243 ways to win that includes Free Spins, Respins, Instant Cash Prizes, and a Pick-Me Bonus Game.

Special Features

This game implements a ways to win system which basically means it does not feature a traditional payline structure. Instead, wins are formed when you land matching symbols in any position on 3 or more adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel to the rightmost reel. With 243 ways to win, you will be landing a nice cash reward in no time at all when you play this online slot!

As you play the game, you will notice a Mirror symbol that pops up on reel 3 from time to time. When it appears, it will magically transform into the Princess or Queen symbol. All instances of this chosen symbol will lock into place on the reels and you will also be given a free Respin. The Respins will keep going until no new symbols appear.

To keep things lively on the reels, Fairytale Legends: Mirror Mirror features 3 random features which can trigger on any spin. When they do activate, a fairy will appear on the reels and will sprinkle some magic dust to kickstart one of the following features:

• Fairy Magic Spin – a random cluster of 5 to 7 medium win symbols appear on the reels for 1 spin.
• Fairy Surprise – a symbol is chosen at random to turn other symbols into that symbol until a win is formed.
• Fairy Mirror – the Mirror symbol is randomly placed in the middle of reel 3 to automatically give you a Mirror Respin.

The Bonus symbol in this game is represented by an image of a golden box. Land 3 of these symbols on reels 1, 3, and 5 simultaneously to trigger the 3 different Bonus Features. The Bonus Features can also be activated randomly if you happen to land 2 Bonus symbols on reels 1 and 3 and the third symbol may then be randomly placed on reel 5. Once triggered, you can then choose one of the following Bonus Features:

• Coin Win – an instant cash prize of 15X your stake is awarded.
• Free Spins – 10 Free Spins with the Mirror Respin feature active on reels 1, 2, and 3.
• Mining Bonus – collect cash prizes by breaking 9 crystals 1 at a time with a pickaxe. It is possible to win up to 500 coins in this feature.

Theme, Graphics and Sound

With this being a NetEnt game, you just know the graphics are going to be top-notch and this game does not disappoint I can tell you when it comes to this department. The game takes place in a lush green forest with fireflies lighting up the reels, tall mountains in the distance, and you will notice Snow White is with you for each and every spin as she patiently watches on in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen. The symbols in the game are nicely polished and consist of Snow White, the Queen, a Precious Stone, a Lantern, and the typical A – 9 icons. The animations are visually stunning as symbols shine brightly when part of a winning combination. I really like when the Mirror Respin feature triggers and the screen is completely covered by a giant mirror which then magically transforms symbols on the reels or when you land a big win and the screen is splashed with a dazzling array of different colours.

The music is melodic and enchanting with lots of soft piano beats used. It fits in perfectly with the fairytale theme of the game.

Win lines, Payouts and Jackpots

The game has 243 ways to win, a very respectable RTP of 96.48%, and a superb maximum payout worth 1,822.5X your total bet.

Below is a summary taken from the PayOut Table from the game. The amount won for each combination depends on the value of the bet when you spin the reels.

Our Verdict on Fairytale Legends: Mirror Mirror

This game comes from software giants NetEnt and is a highly enjoyable slot to play. It features wonderful graphics and animations, an upbeat soundtrack, and a whole host of bonus features for players to enjoy. The 3 Random Features ensure the excitement levels stay up the more you spin the reels and the Bonus Features can be very rewarding. The most lucrative Bonus feature by far is the Free Spins feature as it gives you the chance to fill up the entire screen with Mirror symbols and bag yourself winnings up to 1,822.5X in the process! One minor drawback to this game is that unfortunately it does not feature any Wild symbols to help you form even more wins on the reels. In terms of variance, I found this slot to be Medium so you will rack up decent-sized cash rewards the more you play it.
