Red Cap Slot by Endorphina

A Grown-Up Red Riding Hood

Red Cap reimagines the Little Red Riding Hood story with an adult heroine who serves as the wild symbol. The setting is a dark enchanted forest, the symbols are storybook characters - grandmother, woodsman, wolf - and the scatter is a basket of pies. Standard fairy tale packaging, but Endorphina's artwork gives it more personality than you'd expect from the premise. The wolf lurks in the shadows of the reel frame while Red walks through the woods carrying her pie basket.

Free Spins with a 3x Boost

Three or more basket scatters trigger 10 free games. Two things change during the feature. First, every win pays at 3x its normal value. Second, Red Cap's wild expands to cover the entire reel whenever it creates a winning combination.

The conditional expansion matters. The wild only stretches vertically if at least one payline benefits from it. Otherwise it sits as a single-position wild. When it does expand, covering a full reel while adjacent symbols line up across 20 paylines at triple pay, the combinations stack fast.

Free games retrigger with 3 more scatters during the feature, awarding another 10 spins. The combination of 3x multiplier plus expanding wilds on retriggered rounds is how the game reaches its 3,000x maximum.

Simple by Design

Outside of free spins, the base game is basic. Five reels, three rows, 20 adjustable paylines paying left to right. The wild doesn't expand in the base game - it just substitutes normally. Scatters pay up to 200x base bet for five. Granny tops the regular symbols at 40x for five of a kind.

Bonus Pop buys into the free spins feature directly. Post-win gambling follows the standard card-pick format, letting you double payouts up to ten times. Endorphina's progressive mystery pots at three tiers tick upward silently between spins and pay out at random.

The mechanics are familiar - expanding wilds and a flat multiplier during free spins have been standard territory since 2015. Red Cap does it cleanly, and the 3x multiplier gives the bonus enough punch. The art holds up well for a 2020 release, but mechanical innovation isn't on the agenda here.
