Creating tired, cookie cutter bonus rounds may be the prerogative of some other slot providers, but not NetEnt who always try to bake something unique into their slot games. And Red Riding Hood slots free spins are no different. Match 3 chest symbols on lines 1,3 and 5 to get the chance to pick a chest. The reward you choose will be random and can be one of 3 possible rewards:
Coin Reward
As simple as a stroll through the forest; if you pick this reward, you win your bet x15. To put this into a real playing scenario: you bet £100 and activate the bonus, you pick the coin reward chest and you are instantly paid £1,500. Who knew clicking on a box could be so rewarding?
Red Riding Hood Free Spins
You know what’s better than a basketful of grandma friendly goodies? Free spins of course! Pick the free spins reward from the 3 chests and you will be awarded with 10 free spins. The bets aren’t multiplied in these free spin rounds, but you can win more free spins by matching more bonus symbols. WInnings on free spins are paid out on your original bet value and wilds and sticky respin wilds can still appear.
Beware the Wolf Bonus
The above bonus rewards are generous - but it’s the Beware the Wolf bonus round you really want. Set in the forest and on a board game style map, the trick is to guide Red Riding Hood through the forest towards grandmas house. Spin the whirligig and you will be given a number between 1 and 6, with numbers corresponding to moves on the board.
The spaces on the board are multipliers - with board progression awarding much larger multipliers. In the early stages of the game you’re looking at x2 or x3 but reach all the way to grandma's house and you can pick up a howling x100 multiplier. Think of it as a more elaborate
Rainbow Riches road to rich bonus round.
The spots to be wary of are the red crosses - land on one of these and unfortunately Red's journey through the forest will be cut short by that pesky wolf. The key to accumulating huge payouts is to stay on the board for as long as you can, collecting multipliers and hoping for a lucky spin. It’s one of the tensest bonus games we have ever played and it gets a firm thumbs up.
