Fairytale Legends: Red Riding Hood is a typically good looking game from NetEnt - set against a forest backdrop and purple sky, the reels include playing cards, a book, rose, key and lock, crown motif and a FL logo which offers payouts of up to 400 coins for 5 on a payline.
Red Riding Hood is the wild, appearing on the middle 3 reels only and replacing all other symbols bar the scatter. Red Riding Hood is also central to the first feature we'll look at, the Sticky Wild Re-Spins feature – land 2 wilds on the same spin and they'll be frozen in place for the free re-spin that follows. You will get another free re-spin if you get another wild landing on the reels.
Fairytale Legends: Red Riding Hood also comes with a trio of randomly triggered mini features. They are:
- Fairy Magic Spin feature - the fairy will float onto the screen and add a random cluster of between 5 and 9 overlay symbols onto the reels for 1 spin.
- Fairy Surprise feature - this can hit following any unsuccessful spin. 1 symbol is chosen at random - other symbols on the reels, starting with the lowest value ones, will transform into the randomly chosen symbol until a winning combination is created.
- Fairy Wild Spin feature - here, 3 or 4 wilds symbols will be added to the middle 3 reels during a spin. After the standard payout is made, the wilds will be frozen in place and you'll be awarded a re-spin (i.e. triggering the Sticky Wild Re-Spins feature).
There are 3 more features on offer in Fairytale Legends: Red Riding Hood - these are triggered in a more traditional manner, namely by landing 3 of the treasure box scatter symbol on reels 1, 3 and 5. Pick 1 of the boxes to reveal which extra you've been awarded. They are:
- Beware the Wolf Bonus feature - this is a cash trail bonus. Work your way around the board collecting prizes as you go. The further you make it, the bigger the prizes on offer with up to 200 times your stake to be won.
- Free Spins feature - you'll awarded 10 free spins but you can win a further 10 free spins for getting bonus symbols during the feature. As in the base game, the Sticky Wild Re-Spins feature applies which will really sends your win potential through the roof.
- Coin Win feature - a cash bonus worth 15 times your stake if awarded if you pick this one.
