Once Upon A Time Slot Review

I always thought princesses and people in fairy tales were supposed to be the most beautiful in all the land, that was until I saw Shrek. While they may not have been beauty pageant winners, they did have their weird charm that won over the whole world's heart. The same can be said for this quirky, but rewarding game, that is Once Upon A Time.

Gameplay

Once Upon A Time is a 5 reel video slot game made by Betsoft Gaming.

The game features some interesting symbols, but the most common are the armor, the ax, the catapult. Some of the lesser common and higher-paying symbols are the sword in the stone, the chicken dinner, and the trumpet player. The highest paying symbols are the treasure and the princess.

The controls can be found to the left and right of the screen, the spin button being on the right. The green button with the three white lines will bring up the paytable as well as allow you to change your bet.

Features

If you receive a dragon symbol on row 1 of reel 3 then you trigger the WILD FIRE, which turns the whole reel wild, allowing you to substitute a variety of symbols. The wild reel remains for the following spin.

Unique Features

There are so many unique features in Once Upon A Time, so we choose some of our favorites. If you get a knight and princess symbol adjacent to each other then you win instant credit regardless of pay lines. If you get 3 gold sacks on reels 1, 3, and 5 then you set off the greedy goblins click me. The greedy goblins click me allows you to continuously tap the gold bags and claim winnings from them until a collect sign appears. There are also two separate bonus rounds for you to enjoy!

Performance

The game itself doesn’t have the highest graphic requirements, everything is very well drawn though, so there isn't much leeway for bad performance. Overall the spins are fast, the music exciting, and the features well done. Animations move smoothly and don’t stutter. A solid game.

Conclusion

This seemingly basic game has so much to offer players. Great animations, bonus games, and incredible features. Features and free spins occur so often you almost forget you're playing slots. So much thought and detail has gone into user experience, there is always something new or fun happening on your screen. If you want a bit more adventure in your slot games, this Once Upon A Time is for you.
