Lil Red

Players on the lookout for the best online slots will want to pay close attention to Li’l Red, a title by WMS based on the Brothers Grimm.

This re-imagining of the Little Red Riding Hood story features a corseted heroine, one normal and one colossal set of reels, a Free Spin bonus feature, and more.

Theme

The story of Little Red Riding Hood is celebrated the world over, with roots in European folklore as far back as the 10th century…

… but Li’l Red has never appeared like this before!

WMS brings its expertise and unique approach to online gambling to bear here, creating a video slot with an approach all its own.

There are two sets of reels, both active on every spin: one is a set of 5x4 reels, similar to what’s found in most games of this kind, as well as one colossal set of reels, also 5 rows wide but 12 columns tall!

Here players can find fully stacked wolf-in-grannie’s clothing and Li’l Red symbols, which both offer this title’s top payout. Wild symbols also appear fully-stacked on all reels: should any four stacked wilds appear on the main reel set, the corresponding reel of the colossal reel set will also turn wild! Big wins can be triggered in this way.

The most important gaming symbol, however…

is the fabled grandmother’s house, which acts as the scatter symbol. This opens the way to the Free Spins Bonus.

Betting Options and Functions

There are a whopping 100 fixed paylines, all paying from left to right. Bet is set simply from 0.50 – 100.00 times the betting currency. Autoplay is available for up to 200 spins, with optional, adjustable win/loss limits ready as well.

Player options, payline information, game rules, and more are available at the lower left corner of the game screen. The overall theoretical return to player ratio is well above-average at 95.94%.

Features

• Free Spins are triggered by the appearance of three or more bonus symbols on the reels.
• Between 8 – 20 freebies will be awarded, depending on how many symbols began the feature, as well an instant payout 2 – 20x the total bet size.
• During the feature, wild symbols that are part of a stack will nudge farther onto the reels, should one partially appear.
• Four scatters award 15 free spins with a 10x total multiplier.
• Five scatters award 50 free spins with a 15x total multiplier.
• Three additional scatters will extend the feature by five additional free spins.
• During bonus play, two sets of adjacent reels will be replaced by reels taken up entirely by wild symbols.

Our Take

It’s always refreshing to see a new take on a classic topic, and that’s precisely what WMS has achieved here. Thanks to the rich combination of multiple reel sets, memorable bonuses, and a unique thematic approach, the resulting slot is one no serious player will want to miss out on.
