Get ready to join Elysium Studios on an epic fantasy adventure with a twist in I Hate Fairytales – the exciting new slot that features graffiti-covered castles, rainbow-farting unicorns and punk rock princesses, meaning it’s definitely not one of the cosy stories your grandma told you about!
Starting out as a five-reel slot with 1,024 ways to win, I Hate Fairytales takes everything players knew about classic fables and throws it out the window as they chase maximum wins of 33,934x their bet with the help of three hard-hitting base game bonuses and two dedicated feature modes.
Dealing with those prickly princesses first and foremost, during any base game spin, one of Snow Wild, Aria or Rapunsell can appear to enhance players’ winnings. Snow Wild will place a random number of wilds to the reels, Aria will add one or more fully-stacked wilds that shift to the left after each turn and Rapunsell will expand one or more columns while also granting multiplier respins.
On top of that, players will also have access to both the Free Spins feature and the Smash Bonus by landing three of their respective symbols in the base game or buying into either direct. The first gives players eight free spins on an expanded 7,776 ways-to-win reel set, with all princesses appearing far more frequently and Rapunsell’s multipliers now persisting throughout the feature.
The second, meanwhile, is an interactive bonus where players will have to click or tap bouncing fairytale creatures to smash them with a hammer and reveal random prize multipliers. Before the round ends, a “boss” unicorn character will appear, with players then having to hit it multiple times before the time runs out to complete the feature and earn themselves a super-sized payout of up to 100x your bet.
David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “As players and operators will know by now, the games in our Elysium Studios – Driven by Swintt line-up are pushing the boundaries in terms of what’s possible from an online video slot – and I Hate Fairytales is certainly no exception.
“Boasting a twisted folk story aesthetic, punk rock princesses that grant big base game rewards and an interactive Smash Bonus that adds an extra level of immersion for mobile players, the game really does have it all and we’re really excited to see how it performs at our casino partners.”
