Swintt's Elysium Studios has unveiled its latest quirky slot, I Hate Fairytales, which flips traditional folk stories upside down. This fresh and unconventional take on classic tales is anything but a typical bedtime story.
Players are transported to a world of graffiti-covered castles, rainbow-farting unicorns, and punk rock princesses, promising an adventure far from the familiar fairytales they grew up with. The base game introduces three main bonuses, each revolving around the game’s punk princesses—Snow Wild, Aria, and Rapunsell.
Brought to players by Elysium Studios and Swintt, I Hate Fairytales slot features five reels and offers 1,024 ways to win, with potential maximum wins of up to 33,934x a player's bet. As mentioned in the intro, the game accommodates three special bonuses, each with its own superpowers.
Snow Wild adds random wilds to the reels, Aria brings in fully-stacked wilds that shift with every spin, and Rapunsell expands the columns while offering multiplier respins. These features not only enhance the gameplay but give each spin an exciting edge, as players never know which princess will pop up next.
According to David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt:
“Boasting a twisted folk story aesthetic, punk rock princesses that grant big base game rewards and an interactive Smash Bonus that adds an extra level of immersion for mobile players, the game really does have it all and we’re really excited to see how it performs at our casino partners.”
Beyond the princess-driven bonuses, I Hate Fairytales also introduces two significant features that can be triggered through the base game or via direct buy-in options: FS and the Smash Bonus.
The FS feature offers players eight spins on an expanded reel set, now with 7,776 ways to win. During this feature, princesses appear more frequently, with Rapunsell's multipliers persisting throughout the entire round. This gives players the chance to boost their winnings significantly as the spins continue.
Another interactive highlight of the game is the Smash Bonus is, where players must smash bouncing fairytale creatures with a hammer to reveal random multipliers. The round ends with the appearance of a “boss” unicorn character, which players must hit multiple times before the time runs out. Successful players can claim a final payout of up to 100x their bet, adding to the excitement of this creative bonus.
Alongside the launch of I Hate Fairytales, Swintt has also introduced Hidden Treasures of Rome, a slot that takes players on a journey through the grandeur of ancient Rome. Unlike traditional cluster pay slots, this game requires players to land at least eight matching symbols anywhere on the grid to trigger a cascading win. With a 6x5 reel set, the game is packed with Roman insignia, jewels, and crowns, adding to the atmosphere of ancient treasures.
One of the slot's standout features is its tumbling mechanic, where new symbols fall into place after a win. The game also incorporates random multipliers, which can boost payouts significantly, with the maximum multiplier reaching up to 500x. This means that players can potentially win up to 5,000x their stake in a single spin, making it a high-reward option for those seeking thrilling gameplay.
Hidden Treasures of Rome further amplifies the excitement with its FS feature, where players can earn 15 bonus spins by landing four or more scatter symbols. Multipliers accumulate during the FS, and their values are saved for future spins, offering the chance for even bigger payouts as the round progresses. This added layer of strategy makes the game both engaging and potentially lucrative, providing plenty of reasons for players to return.
