FairyTale Legends: Red Riding Hood Slot Review
Given the success of the Jack and the Beanstalk game, one might excuse NetEnt for copying it and creating a whole collection of slot games with a nursery rhyme theme. The distinctive background in the Red Riding Hood slot must be the very first thing that you will like. Instead of a standard standing game field, Red Riding Hood's hilltop and cloud backdrop rotate continuously, halting only when a spin results in a payout, as the Red Riding Hood heroes walk next to the reels. It should go without saying that it's a gorgeous game because NetEnt doesn't produce bad-looking slots. Although the quality is superb, we feel that they slightly missed the mark with the pay symbols. The paytable doesn't include the wolf, granny, or any other characters from the traditional fairy tale that you would have anticipated. Instead, there are some very generic symbols with fairy-tale theme. But generally, slots can offer interesting gameplay.

Wild Symbol and Sticky Wild Re-Spin. In the main game, Wilds are shown on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th reels, and in Free Spins, they are shown on any place on the game field and stand for any other symbols, but not for Bonus symbols. While playing the main game, in case two or more Wilds are shown in any place on the game field, they transform into Sticky Wilds and activate a Re-Spin feature. During this feature, all the Sticky Wilds keep their dislocation. In case one or more Sticky Wilds are shown in any place on the game field during the feature, you get an extra Re-Spin. The Wilds that are shown behind the Sticky Wilds are not seen. This feature ends when there are no more Sticky Wilds that can be seen on the game field. During this feature, it is impossible to trigger the Random Features and Bonus Features. In case 3 Bonus symbols and 2 or more Wilds are shown in any place on the game field at the same time in the main game, the Bonus Features are started at first. Any wins from the spin that activated the feature are added to any wins from the Re-Spin.
Random Features can be started at random and impossible for them to be activated while the Re-Spins or Free Spins are started. Random Features cannot be triggered simultaneously with any of the Bonus Features.
• Fairy Magic Spin. For one spin, a random group of 5 to 9 medium-paying symbols, other than the game's logo, will be shown in any place on the game field.
• Fairy Surprise. This feature is used in case there are no wins in the main game. After one of the spins, a symbol is picked at random from those that are on the game field. Other symbols, starting with the ones with the smallest wins, will transform into the picked symbol till a win is given. During this round, the Bonus and Wild symbols can't be chosen.
• Fairy Wild Spin. During the spin, 3 or 4 Wilds can be shown at random on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th reels. After the wins are paid, a Re-Spin feature is triggered.
Three Bonus symbols that are shown on the 1st, 3rd and 5th reels in the main game trigger choosing one of the chests to get a feature.
• Beware The Wolf. By clicking on the game screen, the player makes a whirligig spin, which lets them change their position around the game field and win prizes. Position 0 is where the player starts. The multiplier can be anywhere from 1x to 20x the amount bet. The game has five types of locations:
• In case a player takes place on the Coin Win spot, they get a win. The amount of coin won is equal to the current bet times the multiplier shown on the location.
• In case the player takes place on the Double spot, all modifiers in the Bonus Game, including that which in Jackpot Coin Win, are doubled. The multiplier does not affect any of the coin wins you've made so far in the Bonus Game.
• In case the player takes place on the Arrow location, the next move is along the arrow.
• In case the player takes place on the Jackpot Coin Win, the Beware the Wolf ends and a Jackpot win is added to the coins won so far in the Bonus Game. The amount of the Jackpot Coin Win is the current bet multiplied by 100 or 200. The last one can happen if the player has already been to the Double location.
• In case the player takes place on the Collect location, the Beware the Wolf Bonus ends and all the wins that were collected are paid.
• Free Spins. The player got 10 Free Spins straightaway that will be played with the same bet as the spin that was before the feature was activated. Bonus symbols can only be shown on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th reels during the feature and each gives two extra spins.
• 1 Bonus symbol equals 2 spins
• 2 Bonus symbols equal 4 spins
• 3 Bonus symbols equal 10 spins

In the total win field, any wins made during the feature are added to any wins made during the spin that started the Bonus game.

FairyTale Legends: Red Riding Hood Slot Verdict
An old story has been cleverly repurposed by NetEnt, and they've done it with a nasty sense of humour as well. As usual, NetEnt crammed this game with features and added some fresh animation and audio techniques to keep the fun level high. Although the topic is innocuous and will appeal to a wide audience, they may have been able to better incorporate it. It may not be the largest game NetEnt created this year, but it for that all has a much more thrilling game process than the Jimi Hendrix and gives some substantial payouts. Everyone might reasonably expect many bonus features, also so interesting virtual board game, so even if the payout is little, the joy is in the gameplay. In conclusion, this creation is a highly appealing slot with not high volatility, numerous modifiers, excellent bonuses, and the potential for large payouts.
