Endorphina dedicated one of their 2020 releases to the famous Red Riding Hood. Most of you probably know the story about a young girl with a red riding hood that went to the forest to visit her granny but was eaten by the wolf. Red Cap is yet another video slot themed after this iconic tale. The Endorphina title offers two additional features players can benefit from. Look for Basket Scatters that will trigger the Free Spins feature. Freebies come with Expanding Wilds. Also, you have the Gamble feature, where you can double your wins in a card game.
You do not need to know the story to understand how the game is played, because the rules of the 2020 release are as easy as breathing. The Red Cap video slot comes with 5 reels, three rows, and benefits from 20 fixed paylines, which pay left to right, beginning from the far-left reel. Three of a kind is the minimum for landing payouts. Every spin will cost you 20 coins. Fortunately for players, the coin denomination can be changed, so the lowest you can wager is $0.20 and the biggest bet cannot go over $20 per single spin.
The reels are set deep into the woods, so if you are afraid of wolves, do not enter the gloomy forest. Now, here it would help if you knew the story because high-value symbols are the main characters from the tale. Red Cap is the Wild that substitutes for all regular icons and is also the symbol that pays the most, 50x bet for five of a kind. Granny is the highest-paying regular icon, delivering 40x bet for the maximum combination. Also, you will meet the Hunter and the Wolf. Try some Blueberries, or Strawberries, before you get to the Basket Scatter, which triggers free spins. Playing cards act as low-value symbols.
To trigger the Free Spins feature, players need to land at least three Basket Scatters on the reels. This will get them 10 free spins. The fun does not stop there, because all wins will be tripled during the feature. Finally, the Red Cap Wild becomes an Expanding Wild in free spins. Every time a Wild lands and there is a possibility for a winning spin, the Wild will expand to cover the entire reel.
Those of you who want to double their winnings can play the Risk Game or the Gamble feature. There are four hidden cards and you pick one of them. If the revealed card beats the dealer’s card, you will double your wins. The process can be repeated up to 10 times at once. If your card is smaller, then you will lose all your money.
The story of Red Riding Hood has been told so many times by now, and in our humble opinion, Red Cap will have a hard time finding its place under the sun. The visuals are pretty good, as well as the soundtrack. As for the features incorporated, they lack ingenuity, a special something that would make Red Cap stand out from the crowd.
