And here it is, ready for you to read, as we find out all there is to learn about the Once Upon a Time online slot game. This is a game that lays out its theme within the title, but we’re going way further than that to find out more about its offering. Let’s see if this is a fairytale game to play, shall we?
Which game studio came out with this one?
If we tell you that it comes from Betsoft, we think you’ll be delighted with that news. Does it mean this is a wonderful fairytale come true? Let’s find out more.
We have a demo to play
And you should try it too, just as we did, as it gives you a feel for the game and what it can offer.
No prizes here for figuring out where the theme takes us
We are met with a fairytale theme, just as we thought, with plenty of fantasy features appearing during the game as well.
Do we have 3D elements appearing in the design?
We do, thankfully, as we love a decent 3D slot from Betsoft. They’ve gone for an outdoor setting, with the reels set between some stone pillars. It looks like a castle, but there are many other exciting features popping up on the reels as well.
Let’s play the Once Upon a Time slot
There are five reels landing once the game begins, each offering three symbols. There’s plenty happening during the game, but there are no progressive prizes available.
There is a wild feature here, triggered when the green dragon appears in the topmost position on reel three. This reveals the Fire Starter feature. The entire reel then turns into a wild reel. As you’d expect, the standard symbols are then replaced by the wild reel. The symbols that can unlock special parts of the game cannot be replaced. We’ll go further into those later.
Available paylines in the Once Upon a Time slot game
You can play over 30 lines when you get underway here.
Bets from two cents per line
This is the lowest bet amount available, but there are other coins that lead you to the maximum total wager of $100 per spin.
Make sure you read through the paytable
It is more important here than ever, thanks to all the amazing features they’ve added to the slot game.
How many bonuses are available?
Let’s see, shall we? The first one offers an instant credit reward when you find the knight and the princess next to each other on the first, second, or third payline.
The second bonus is called Greedy Goblins. You need three sacks full of gold to trigger this. Choose a sack to see whether you can find an instant prize. Two out of three sacks do contain coin wins, but one reveals a COLLECT message that takes you back to the game.
Next comes a second screen bonus. Look for the goblin and the gold goblet. You must find one of these on each of the first three reels, and they must also all land on the same paid line to count. If this happens, the goblin whisks you away to a room overflowing with treasure. You can walk away with three items, so pick carefully and see how much each item is worth.
Finally, the Save the Princess bonus also occurs on a second screen. To get there, find three knights on the same paid line. You’ll then fight a dragon, and the better you manage to do, the bigger your coin prize at the end.
You could also receive some free spins
Yes, there is more to this game still! The wooden door is the trigger for this round, with three needed on the same paid line to qualify. Five freebies come your way, and whenever another wooden door appears – just one needed – you get another free spin.
What about the return to player percentage?
We don’t have any details for this, as we haven’t seen it advertised within the game.
Our rating: Do we like the Once Upon a Time slot?
We do, hence why we’re scoring it at 9.5 out of 10. A firm RTP would be ideal, along with a progressive jackpot, but we’re being picky, right?
The princess leads to the best prize
While we cannot be certain of the prize potential inside the bonus rounds, we can see that the princess can award up to 500x your wager if she lands in all the available positions on the same paid line.
Demo action in Once Upon a Time
This is the perfect introduction to the game. We spent a while trying to unlock all the bonuses while playing for entertainment, so we could figure out how everything panned out.
Play for real if you like the game
And we think you’re going to love it, honestly. There are all kinds of bonus features involved, so you’ve got plenty to look for on the reels if you do spin them with real bets in play.
Mobile activity in Once Upon a Time
The game doesn’t play that differently on Android or iOS. Just look for the touchscreen controls instead of the usual mouse ones.
