FairyTale Legends Red Riding Hood Pokies
The tale of Little Red Riding Hood needs little introduction here, but for those who are not familiar with it, the story is about a girl, a wolf, her grandmother and a woodsman who, depending on the version, rescues Riding Hood and her Gran from the wolf, or it’s too late for the little old lady who has already become dinner.
Net Ents’ FairyTale Legends Red Riding Hood video pokie takes a few liberties with these details anyway, placing symbols of a treasure chest, key, rose and book on the reels. They have also chosen to pack this online casino pokie full of bonus features, with sticky wilds, free spins, surprise awards, coin awards and more, so players who like to be taken off on a fairy-tale adventure across their games will love spinning these cartoon-style reels.
All 20 paylines are active, making the low limit bet 0.20 per spin, while the upper limit has been set at 200.00. Free FairyTale Legends Red Riding Hood video pokies can be tried out if needed, although clearly, there won’t be any real winnings in these games either.

Playing Red Riding Hood
A simple cartoon backdrop of the forest fills the screen, and the symbols drop down over it on the 5 reels, while Riding Hood does a little walk alongside them as they spin. The low-paying symbols are the playing card icons 10, J, Q, K and A, which all play the same amount when landing on 3 or more connected reels across a payline from the left side, with awards of 2, 15 or 60x the line bet paid out.
The book, rose, key and shield are each worth progressively more, and the top awards in the normal game come from the ‘FT’ crest landing right across a line, returning wins of up to 400x the line stake.
Little Red Riding Hood makes another appearance as the wild symbol, able substitute for standard ones and help complete winning lines, although she only turns up on reels 2, 3 and 4. If more than 1 wild lands a once, both will stay locked in place for a free reels re-spin, which can easily lead to another prize-winning combination of symbols appearing.
Bonus Features
If 3 blue treasure chest symbols appear on reels 1, 3 and 5, a randomly-selected bonus will begin. Players enter a Beware The Wolf game, free spins round, or get a coin win which will be 15x the triggering bet.
The Beware The Wolf bonus round plays out on a 3D map of the woods, which players move around by clicking a spinning wheel. They land on different positions collecting either further coins, doubling prizes, moving further along, or collecting a jackpot of up to 200x the bet. There’s also a ‘Collect’ position that ends the round, or if they are lucky, they make it all the way to Grandma’s house.
The free spins game is a basic 10 spins, but the wild will appear on all reels, not just the middle 3 and any treasure chests in a single bonus spin will trigger an extra 2 games, while if 3 land, the whole round starts again. The sticky wilds and re-spins are still in effect, but there’s now a greater chance of triggering them, as the symbol appears across more reels.
Random Features
There are a number of rewarding in-game features that can pop up, including a Fairy Magic Spin where a helpful fairy turns up to 9 connected symbols into the same type.
There’s also a unique Fairy Surprise which sees a high-paying symbol selected at random and then all symbols of a lower value will gradually change into it until a winning combination is formed.
Also, players could be granted up to 4 extra wild symbols on the reels, and then all other positions spin again, hopefully creating a nice winline, or maybe several at once.
The Verdict
This pokie may not stick very faithfully to the source material, but that shouldn’t be much of an issue, as it more than makes up for this with the multiple bonus features and a nice design. Net Ent are well-known for filling their online casino games with little extras, and this is a good example of what they can do, although with the exception of the jackpot of up to 200x the stake in the Beware The Wolf game, the wins can be fairly modest.
This in turn has meant that more rounds can be included, so players who like plenty of random distractions from the standard spins of the reels could find that FairyTale Legends Red Riding Hood suits their style perfectly.
