An Enchanting Fairy Themed Slot From Playtech

Added: April 15, 2018

When one thinks of online slots based on fairy tales, Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk and the like come to mind. But there was a Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen whose stories were more poignant. Now Playtech has developed a video slot titled Tinderbox Treasures based on his popular fairy tale titled The Tinderbox. It is live at Omni Casino. The symbols on the reels play out the plot, so in order to enjoy the game better you need to know the story.

A poor soldier is enticed by a witch to retrieve a magical tinderbox. But the soldier kills the witch and keeps the tinderbox. He realises that the box can summon magical dogs to do any bidding. He gets them to fetch riches and lives the life of luxury. He then asks them to bring a beautiful princess who has been imprisoned by her father. The king tracks him down. Just as the executioner is about to chop off his head, the dogs come to his rescue and all is well that ends well.

Tinderbox Treasures is a 5 reels, 3 rows and 25 paylines video slot. The slot game has a magical feel to it. The reels are set in the tinderbox. The soundtrack is enchanting and suited to the theme. The soldier is the highest paying symbol. In the free spins he becomes the rich gent. The princess, the king, the witch and the executioner are the other high paying symbols. The low paying symbols are the playing card icons.

The highlight of Tinderbox Treasures is the Dog Wild Re-Spins feature. The dogs were powerful in the fairy story and are powerful in the slot game as well. The copper dog with eyes the size of teacups is the wild symbol. If the copper wild lands on the reels you get a free respin. The reels will contain the silver dog with eyes the size of water wheels. The silver dog is a wild symbol stacked two-high with a 2x multiplier property. If it lands fully on the reels in the respin you get another free respin. This time the reels will contain the gold dog with eyes the size of Round Tower. The gold dog is a wild symbol stacked three-high with a 3x multiplier property. The tinderbox is the scatter symbol. The symbol on reels 2, 3 and 4 trigger 10 free spins. The Wild logo wild symbol appears only in the free spins and multiplies payouts 3x.
