Poisoned Apple

Theme

Sometimes beauty can be a curse!

This title is based on the well – known story of a gorgeous girl and her envious stepmother. People say a little bit of jealousy is not bad but…

…we can all agree that putting a hit on your stepdaughter’s head, or trying to poison her with an apple simply for being more beautiful than you, is taking it too far!

This release is developed by Booongo, a capable software company with an extremely crafty team of developers.

When it comes to the visuals…

…this particular game features crisp and vibrant graphics. In the background we can see a dense forest with a winding path. There are also age - old trees, colorful flowers, mushrooms and fireflies floating around. The rising sun is cutting into deep shades of the forest.

Betting Options and Symbols

The slot is played on 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 fixed paylines.

Before pressing the spin button, we have to place a wager. In this case, offered betting options are in the range of 0.20 up to $100 per spin.

AND:

What about the symbols?!

There are standard J, Q, K and A as a low – value icons. The most you’ll be able to get from them is 3.5 x total bet for 5 of a kind on the pay-line. The rest of the icons are lumberjack, dwarf, the evil stepmother, handsome man and our main protagonist – the dazzling young woman. She is also the highest paying among the icons, with a 10 x total bet if you manage to hit the correct combination.

Special Features

One symbol punters will notice is missing from the paytable is the Scatter. One of the reasons behind its absence, is the fact that special features are not triggered by the Scatter, but by achieving certain goals. There are 3 goals available and by achieving at least one of them…

…you’ll enter the Bonus Spins mode with up to five additional rounds, or one of the three extra features.

So…

…what are we waiting for? Let’s examine those special features!

The first one is called the Mirror Wild which is also active during the base game. When the Wild appears on the middle reel, all other Wilds on the reels 1 and 2 are mirrored on the 4th and 5th reel, and vice versa. The Wild is represented in this case by a magical mirror and is actually the highest paying icon in this release with 20 x total bet for 5 on the line.

The second feature type is The Sticky Wild and is represented by the handsome man. Once he appears on the grid, he won’t change his position untill the end of the round.

And…

…last but not the least – the Growing Wild! The characteristics of the Wild this time are transferred to our beautiful main protagonist. When she appears on the grid, her icon will grow from the place it landed to the top row of the column.

Be aware that the goals are not always the same:

There is more than 10, and they alternate after every bonus cycle.

Conclusion

Overall, the provider has created a slot with quite a unique gameplay!

Stunning visuals, great soundtrack and top – notch animations that create an immersive atmosphere. High – rollers won’t be too pleased with the maximum bet offered, but there is an unusual set of bonus games and extra perks to really make this title stand out among all others.
