Swintt’s studio subsidiary ELYSIUM Studios placed its own spin on several fairytales in its latest slot I Hate Fairytales, which saw princesses offering an abundance of features to claim our Slot of the Week award.
Featuring the Little Mermaid, Snow White and Rapunzel, I Hate Fairytales presents a 5×4 reel slot with 1,024 ways to win and a maximum win worth x33,934 the player’s bet. The slot has high volatility with an RTP worth 94.04%.
David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, commented: “As players and operators will know by now, the games in our Elysium Studios – Driven by Swintt line-up are pushing the boundaries in terms of what’s possible from an online video slot – and I Hate Fairytales is certainly no exception.
“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.”
Free spins text scatters can appear on the first, third and fifth reels, if three land on the same turn then eight spins will be awarded.
Bonus text scatters are also available on these reels, activating the ‘smash bonus’ when three appear on the same turn. In this game mode, players are presented with several characters that they need to click on to smash, causing them to reveal multiplied bet amount prizes.
Snow White wilds can drop into play during the Snow White feature, which is randomly activated throughout the base and bonus game modes. These wilds are 1×1 in size and will substitute for all symbols other than free spins scatters.
Aria, the Little Mermaid, wilds can also land on the reels during the Aria feature, which is randomly activated throughout the base and bonus game modes.
These wilds fill full columns on the reels and grant free respins while they move one reel to the left until they have shifted off of the reels.
A randomly activated Rapunsell feature can be triggered throughout both the base and bonus game modes, causing reels to randomly expand while gaining a win multiplier that will apply to any wins occurring through that reel.
This feature increases the number of ways to win while granting free respins with each expanded reel decreasing in size by one row for every respin. These respins will continue until the board reaches its initial 5×4 size.
Each multiplier displayed on the expanded reels will also decrease in value as the expanded reels shrink.
During the free spins game mode, the fairytale character features are more likely to occur and can each appear on the same spin to increase the win potential.
