A new Microgaming slot has gone live today. Wicked Tales: Dark Red was announced by the online gaming giant some time back. It has been developed by Triple Edge Studios, exclusively for Microgaming operators. This is the same team that has delivered awesome products like Playboy Gold and Halloween. Wicked Tales: Dark Red can be played at all Microgaming online casinos like 32Red, Royal Vegas and Spin Palace. It is live on desktop and mobile gaming platforms.

Microgaming says Wicked Tales: Dark Red is a classic tale reimagined with a wicked new twist. There is no direct reference to Red Riding Hood, but this is obvious. The slot game presents an adult version of the tale with the little girl now grown up and able to take care of herself. The main symbol depicts a sexy lass in a red hood wielding an axe herself. She is up against a werewolf that is shown in human form and wolf form in separate symbols. The other symbols include red candles, gold coins, pendants and playing card icons.

Wicked Tales: Dark Red is a five reels and 25 payline slot set in the foreboding forests of Ravenmire. The game includes Triple Edge’s signature Wandering Reels feature that was showcased for the first time in Halloween. This is a group of three reels that spin together and contain Jumbo Blocks, which increase your chance of landing big wins.

Landing three full moon bonus symbols in the base game triggers the Wolf’s Wheel Bonus, where the suspense intensifies. Having triggered the bonus, you will have to spin the wheel for cash prizes, multipliers and the treasure chest, which will lead you to the Forest of Fortunes pick objects bonus game on the second screen. In this feature you have to choose from a number of leather pouches to find cash prizes that are enhanced by multipliers. If you reveal a werewolf then the feature will end. But you can collect immunities in the form of an axe and prolong the bonus round. Landing on any high symbols during the wheel bonus activates the free spins round. You will be awarded nine free spins. The Wandering Reels continue in this feature, which takes place in a deserted cabin, providing a sanctuary from the stalking werewolf.

David Reynolds Games Publisher at Microgaming says, “Triple Edge Studios have done an amazing job in combining darker elements with exciting features and new math design to inject newfound thrill and suspense into a classic tale.”
