Skazka is Russian for story, or more accurately fairytale which goes a long way to explaining the frog and princess which star on this five reel slot from Playtech gaming. Dragons, gingerbread houses and woodcutters join forces to provide players with wild wins, scatters and free spins. Oh and they're not the only fairytale features either because there are prizes up to £500,000 on offer!

Skazka Slot Review

The green shades used on the Shazka reels remind us a lot of Shrek, which is after all one of the best known modern fairytales. There's no Shrek or Donkey, but instead the reels include cute frogs, king goldfish and woodcutters.

All the reel icons relate to famous stories in some way. Others include fair maidens, dragons, birdhouses and happily ever after skies. The designers have also thought hard about theming the 10, Jack, Queen, King and Ace symbols.

Betting Options and More Functions

You'd have to go to a land far, far away to find a betting range to match Shazka. Wagers range from 0.01 to 1000 and are available to players in the US, UK and Europe.

The frog prince also makes an appearance on the gamble page. Players can gamble their winnings up to £250 by guessing the next card colour. A correct guess can double a prize whilst an incorrect one will wipe it out.

Skazka Slot Features

The birdhouse wild icon is a clever addition because it can substitute for any single icon apart from the triple headed dragon or the free games scatter.

Twenty free games can be yours if the free games scatter appears on the first and last reels at the same time. This bonus is made all the more juicy with a double multiplier which is applied to all free spin wins.

Dragons can often be the scapegoat in fairytales but on this slot are somewhat of a saviour. Unlike the other icons the triple headed dragon icon will pay in any position when two or more appear.

Our Take on Skazka

You'll not have to kiss a frog to find your prince on this slot because we feel it's a prize catch from the outset. We really enjoyed the fanciful setting, detailed animations and rewarding features. As mentioned earlier it caters for all budgets, some of the below casinos even provide free play to their fairytale loving players!
