Microgaming Launches Wicked Tales: Dark Red

The slot is based on the classic tale of Little Red Riding Hood with a wicked twist.

The leading developer of online gaming content Microgaming has announced the launch of the latest addition to the company’s extensive line-up of games.

Titled Wicked Tales: Dark Red, the new release has been developed by Triple Edge Studios and will exclusively be available to operators powered by Microgaming.

As you may have noticed from its title, this game draws its inspiration from the classic tale of Little Red Riding Hood, although this time, the story comes with a wicked twist.

An Exciting New Release

Wicked Tales: Dark Red is a 5-reel 3-row video slot with 25 paylines, set deep in the forests of Ravenmire. The game offers Triple Edge Studios‘ Wandering Reels feature, where a group of three reels spin together and contain Jumbo Blocks designed to significantly increase the chances of grabbing huge prizes.

If you manage to land three bonus symbols during the main game, you’ll activate the Wolf’s Wheel Bonus, and that’s when it gets even more exciting. While this bonus feature is on, players will have the opportunity to spin the wheels and win cash rewards and multipliers, as well as the treasure chest symbols that will activate the game’s pick bonus.

Once they arrive in the Forest of Fortunes, punters will need to choose from a number of pouches to reveal neat cash prizes and immunities that will help them stay a bit longer in the forest by fighting against the vicious werewolves looking to end this feature.

Wandering Reels in Action Once Again

Landing on any top-paying icons during the bonus will trigger the Free Spins round with 9 spins available. This is where you’ll find the Wandering Reel, with lots of potential to grab big prizes.

Commenting on the launch of the new game, David Reynolds, Games Publisher at Microgaming, said Wicked Tales: Dark Red brought back the exhilarating Wandering Reels feature alongside a gripping feature guaranteed bonus wheel, which could lead to a pick bonus round or free spins round.

He pointed out that Triple Edge Studios had 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.

The fresh release is already available at any of Microgaming-powered online casinos.
