Fairytale Legends: Red Riding Hood

One of NetEnts last releases before entering 2017 builds upon the old fairytale about Little Red Riding Hood, also known as Little Red Cap. The tale is of course about the little girl dressed in a red cape that walks through the woods to visit her poor old grandmother who lies sick in bed. On her way through the woods, she meets the big bad wolf. The wolf does not have any good intentions at all.

Red Riding Hood is one of the graphically nicest slots of 2016

The tale that we tell our children today is very far off from the one that was told centuries ago. Back then, the tale often ended quite badly for both little red riding hood, and the grandmother. The moral of this story is to do what your are told, and no matter what do not talk to strangers. NetEnt's version of the tale is luckily a much lighter and fun version. Besides, we do have to admit that we really enjoy it when we get a fairytale that is remade and told in the form of a slot.

In this tale, the game developers added a fairy that might just decide to sprinkle some enchanting and exiting bonus functions over the reels whilst you play. Fairytale Legends: Red Riding Hood is in fact one of the graphically nicest slots of the year, and is perfect for long winter evenings. Since the success of this amazing game another Fairytale Legends-slot has been released - Hansel & Gretel - which is a fine edition to the series, even if it doesn't quite reach the same high quality as the little Red Riding Hood slot.

The mechanics of the game isn’t a particularly surprising one. But then again, slots such as Red Riding Hood make use of the popular format of 5 reels and 3 rows. We have 20 fixed bet lines a minimum bet of £1 and a maximum possible bet of £200 per spin. Visually, this game is beautiful. When you enter the slot you can immediately feel that it is something out of a fairytale, and I think that it's genius to be able to do without the video slot looking too childish, so good going, Netent.

The scatter symbol is a chest and they do not have to appear on a winning line or in a row. The chest scatters will activate the bonus game, and you will get to choose one of the three chests. Within the chests you may find coins, the bonus game or free spins.

The free spins game differs from the main game in two ways: wild symbols may now occur on all reels, and they are also able to activate a re-spin feature where the chests will contain extra free spins.

In the “beware the wolf” bonus, you are to take little Red Riding Hood to her Grandmothers cottage where an exciting jackpot is waiting. On your way to the cottage you will find multipliers that will increase your chances of winning and getting a high score.
