Beauty and the Beast Slot by Yggdrasil Gaming

Three servants live in the castle and each one has its own way of bending a base spin. The Chef synchronises reels 2, 3 and 4 so the three middle columns land identical, three rows tall, which is the only way the game can drop a 9-symbol middle block in a single spin. The Butler waits until the reels stop and then nudges one column up or down by a single position, but only if that move improves the win or completes a Free Spins trigger. The Maid is the simplest of the three and the most generous, scattering 2 to 4 wilds across random non-scatter positions on top of whatever the spin already produced. Any one of them can fire on any base spin at random, and they don't combine in base play, one servant per visit.

Free Spins start with a choice. Three roses trigger 10 spins and the player picks one servant to run for the entire round. The Golden Bet ante at its lowest level (+5 coins per spin) bumps that to two picks at the start, and the higher tiers feed in better trigger odds and feature density. Land 4 roses on the trigger and an extra 1,000 coins drop on top. Five roses adds 5,000. Inside the round, hitting another 3+ roses resets the counter back to 10 and adds a third unpicked servant to the active stack, capped at three. Once that third retrigger fires the rose disappears from the reels entirely, no fourth bite.

The base wild is a cracked silver mirror, and inside Free Spins it heals into an intact gold frame showing the Prince's reflection. The wilted rose blooms. Beauty's portrait swaps to a Princess, and the Beast becomes the human Prince. It is the cleanest visual storytelling Yggdrasil has built into a slot of this era, every transformation tied directly to the curse-breaking narrative the game is themed on.

One thing to flag: the 400x cap is low for a 2017 video slot, and noticeably lower than what the studio puts on its modern later releases. The math runs frequent medium hits rather than chase a single line, so if you came in expecting a 5,000x ceiling moment, this is not that game.
