Online casino gambling is an activity for adults. Those below the age of majority are not allowed to wager. Yet there are some excellent slot games based on themes that are meant for children, such as fairy tales and nursery rhymes. These are quite popular at online casinos, probably because they allow players to relive their childhood in an adult environment.

The software provider Realtime Gaming offers several such slot games at its online casinos. Wooden Boy is based on the popular children’s story of Pinocchio. The background to the reels is Geppetto’s workshop. The symbols are taken from the story. There is the blue fairy who gives Pinocchio life, Honest John the fox who tricks him and the whale that swallows Geppetto. The high value card symbols are crafted in wood. Pinocchio is appropriately the wild symbol. When it can make winning combinations, Pinocchio appears from a pile of wood shavings and expands across the reel. The blue fairy is the scatter symbol and it triggers up to 15 free spins.

During the free spins the Pinocchio symbol acts as a 3x multiplier. Realtime Gaming also offers two slot games based on the fairy tale Rapunzel. One of them is called Roberta’s Castle and the other one is called Hairway to Heaven.

The software provider Microgaming offers a series of slots titled Rhyming Reels based on nursery rhymes. There are four titles in that series – Queen of Hearts, Old King Cole, Jack and Jill and Georgie Porgie. Georgie Porgie is the latest of these. The symbols include an obnoxious looking Georgie Porgie, Georgie forcibly kissing a girl, the girl crying, the boys coming out to play and Georgie running away. The win animations in these symbols enact the lines from the nursery rhyme. The mint spray awards up to 25 free spins. If mint spray symbols appear during the free spins, additional free spins or payout multipliers may be awarded. The Georgie Porgie logo is the wild symbol.

The software provider Playtech has launched Piggies and the Wolf based on the Three Little Pigs. The introductory clip shows an animated 3D video clip of hep looking pigs and wolf. The slot game offers 50 paylines with four rows of symbols across the reels. The wolf, the three pigs and their houses of straw, sticks and bricks are the symbols from the children’s story. The slot game has an interesting Huff N Puff Shuffle feature. The wolf blows across the reels, shuffling the symbols. The new arrangement can award additional payouts.
