Glass Slipper Slot
Poor Cinderella. Forced to work for her evil Stepmother and the Ugly Sisters, she then had to go to a ball in a magical pumpkin and even left without one of her uncomfortable, impractical and downright dangerous glass shoes. Of course, we all know that this story ended happily ever after, and now that KA Gaming have released the Glass Slipper video slot game, perhaps you can find a happy ending as your Fairy Godmother lands the right symbols for you. OK, perhaps not a Fairy Godmother, but the software behind this five-reel, 30-payline slot ensures high returns and fair gaming, with the chance to claim prizes of up to 3,000x your total bet.
Free spins with win multipliers, wild substitutions and a special ‘If the Shoe Fits’ bonus feature are magical extras to enjoy. This game is designed with a cartoon style that suits the theme perfectly, and anyone who has seen a Disney cartoon will find many of the symbols look very familiar. A somewhat plain blue background is perhaps the only disappointing part of the design, but the symbols all look good and all are connected to the storyline, so there’s none of the playing card icons that so many online casino slots use.
Easy gameplay means that most gamblers won’t feel the need to test it out, but free Glass Slipper video slots have been provided by KA Gaming if you really want to practice before making real cash wagers. Like all games from this Taiwanese developer, it’s mobile optimised and certified to guarantee fair results, with Random Number Generator software determining the results of each spin. Does this enchanting slot have some magical rewards waiting to claim? Read on and find out in this detailed review.
Magical Symbols
Wins are created in the standard manner, with three or more of a kind across a payline from the left side needed in normal spins, although special wilds and scatters can work in their own ways to award prizes. Symbols include a mirror and gold ring, each of which pays 5x, 10x, or 50x the per line stake when seen on three, four, or five reels, with the Ugly Sisters each valued at 5x, 15x, or 75x. The Stepmother and pumpkin are both worth up to 100x your line stake, while a magic wand and the clock pay out high limits of 125x. The Fairy Godmother is worth up to 250x, but the top symbol is the slipper itself, which returns prizes of 50x, 250x and 500x when landing on three, four, or five reels across a payline.
No Cinderella story would be complete without a handsome Prince. He’s a wild symbol that substitutes for any of those above, either filling in the gaps in a run of matching symbols, extending wins across extra reels for bigger rewards, or even doing both at once.
Win-derella
Cinderella is a scatter symbol and this blue-eyed girl can land in any two or more places without needing to be across a payline to award you with prizes that are multiplied by the total bet, not just the per line bet. Only two examples are worth 60x the stake, with three, four, or five paying you 150x, 1,500x and a massive 3,000x respectively.
Three or more scatters will then lead to eight, ten, or 15 free spins, depending on how many are seen. During this bonus round, the wild is a multiplier symbol that boosts any winning combinations that it’s part of. If you have eight free spins, a single wild in a winning line will double the base value of the prize, while two wilds in the line will triple the award and three or more will multiply it five times over.
If you have ten free spins, then wins from wild substitutions will be multiplied by three, five, or eight times over, depending on how many wilds are on the line. If the free games were triggered by five scatters and you have 15 bonus spins, wild wins will be multiplied by eight, ten, or 15 times over. The free spins can’t be retriggered, but with those huge scatter prizes and multipliers, KA Gaming have already been very generous with this feature, so we’re not going to complain.
Another Feet-ure.
The castle is a bonus symbol and when this is seen across three or more reels on a payline, without the wild symbol, you get to play a quick ‘If the Shoe Fits’ mini-game. Three feet will be shown, presumably belonging to Cinderella and the Ugly Sisters. Pick a foot and if the slipper fits, you win an instant coin award. Larger bets will result in higher-value prizes, so this is a game where it can really pay off to place your maximum stakes.
Magic Money
Those stakes can go all the way up to a huge 1,200.00 on each spin of the reels, but if you’re not a high roller, then just 0.30 will be needed per spin. This will activate all the paylines and ensures that all wins that are on the reels are paid out. You also have the option to activate one, five, ten, 15, 20, or 25 lines if you really don’t mind missing out on all the potential prizes.
You can get the reels spinning for as many times as you like via the Autoplay button, which saves time and effort, but as you won’t be able to set win or loss limits to stop them automatically, you’ll need to keep watch on the bankroll.
Don’t Slip up
Surprisingly, there’s another online casino slot that shares the same name as this one. The Glass Slipper video slot from Ash Gaming is a five-reel, 20-line game that has some pretty stylish graphics of the main characters. The game logo is a wild symbol, while some white doves are a Super Wild that sees the birds flying over the game, scattering extra wilds around the reels. The Fairy Godmother triggers up to 50 free spins, although the round ends when the clock strikes 12. Landing the slipper right across the payline awards a progressive jackpot.
Red Tiger Gaming have their Cinderella slot game on the market. It’s got all the character symbols that you would expect and comes with some innovative bonus features. Pick a scroll to claim a multiplier prize or collect crowns for some high payouts. Special bonus prizes are yours throughout a free spins round, but it’s a medium to high volatility slot, so you might be waiting for a while before the bonus rounds are triggered.
Having a Ball
The cartoon style suits that fairytale story and each symbol has been designed to enhance the theme. While some punters may have preferred advanced 3D graphics, this game takes inspiration from older cartoon movies, not the latest efforts from Pixar and we really liked the old-school charm.
We also like the potential to claim huge rewards, especially when Cinderella appears, and the wild multipliers during the bonus round are a welcome treat as well. If the Shoe Fits is a fun little side game that is of course, taken straight from the origin story. It’s an example of the care with which KA Gaming create all of their slot machines.
