Snow Wild and the 7 Features Slot Machine
Casino games developer, Red Tiger Gaming, have only been around for a few years, but this battle-hardened software firm already has some decent slot releases under its belt.
Catering mainly for the Asian and European markets, Red Tiger's online slots feature some high-end HD graphics for both mobile and desktop platforms. Red Tiger prides itself on what it calls the "science of fun", and fun is exactly what you get with their recent release, Snow Wild and the 7 Features. Although it has a so-so RTP of 96%, it has lots of attitude and some killer bonus rounds.
Tapping into a rich minefield for developers, Snow Wild and the 7 Features takes the fairytale-themed slot concept and ramps everything up to 11. We get the titular Snow White - looking badass - as well as the seven dwarfs in various states of rock star dress. Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs never looked like this.
Red Tiger Gaming has a strong portfolio of colorful slots. How does Snow Wild measure up to the awesome Esqueleto Mariachi or Three Musketeers? Let's take a closer peek.
Snow White with a Rock Chick Vibe
Mobile-optimized for tablet play, the Snow Wild and the 7 Features video slot works perfectly well on desktop too. However, as with quite a few of the latest HTML5 titles, we find an up-to-date Google Chrome works wonders for players.
The slot is played on a standard set of 3x5 reels, but don't let the layout fool you. There's a lot more going on in the game than these reels let on.
Coins start at 0.01 on the 20 fixed paylines, but there's a max bet of 500.00 available for the high limit gamblers. You also have the option to set the Autoplay (10-100 spins) and the bankroll-conscious can set a loss limit before spinning.
Hit the Diamonds, Watch out for Wilds
There are eight regular paying symbols in the free Snow Wild and the 7 Features slot. The royal symbols - 10, J, Q, K, A - are fairly low-paying but they do appear regularly. Three 10s or Js pays 4x the line bet, with five Jacks dishing out 48x. The Ace is slightly better, paying 8-72x line bet for 3-5 of a kind.
The red apple poisoned Snow White in the original fairytale. It's present here, with five apples paying 120x the line bet. A mug of beer pays 20-180x, while the bag of diamonds pays 30-300x line bet.
But this is a Red Tiger Gaming game we're playing, and if they love one thing it's some additional bonus fun. The tattooed rock chick, Snow Wild, appears in the mirror as a wild symbol herself. She pays 500x for a 5OAK jackpot and can appear stacked on a whole reel. The beer froth wild symbol can make a separate appearance during the bonus feature.
Land the Lucky Wheel for 8 Crazy Bonuses
Watch out for the Lucky Wheel symbols. These act as the slot game's scatter symbols and will trigger the bonus feature when three land anywhere on the reels.
Players get a chance to trigger one of eight exciting bonus rounds depending on where the prize wheel stops. Each round relates to Snow Wild or one of her special companions, although they all look like they've staggered out of an AC/DC concert rather than a Disney film:
Boozy: Our beer-swilling friend loves his ale. He will turn on taps above the reels and fill them with frothy wilds.
Goldy: Goldy has obviously been spending too long in the mines. He shakes a bucket full of coins above the reels. Instant real cash wins will spill down onto the reels and into your account.
Dozy: As this sleepy biker snores, he blows symbols around the reels for bigger cash wins.
Sneaky: The pesky dwarf gets out his saw and cuts off entire reels, replacing them with new symbols. This can lead to some big wins, but not always.
Tickly: This dwarf has a bad cold, and when he sneezes he triggers a reel re-spin feature.
Flash: As Flash (looking not unlike Slash from Guns 'N' Roses) plays his guitar, lightning hits the reels and destroys random symbols. The symbols above fall into their place like a classic version of Tumbling Reels.
Crazy: The bearded Crazy is a mischief-maker. He will stretch out his arm and swap round symbols he doesn't like. There are GUARANTEED wins in this bonus feature.
Snow Wild: Finally, if the wheel lands on Snow Wild, she will blow three kisses onto the prize wheel to activate several features at once.
For Those About to Go Wild, We Salute You
With the Snow Wild and the 7 Features online casino slot, Red Tiger have another exciting game on their hands. At 96% it's a little low in RTP for our liking. However, the volatility adds to the excitement.
If you've played Red Tiger slots before, you'll know that they produce some of slickest new real money slots on the web. The attention to detail is superb (we particularly like Snow Wild's tattoos and the dwarfs' rock poses) and the gameplay is great on mobile.
