Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is one of the most famous fairy tales of all time.

This new release from acclaimed software studio Quickspin invites players to join Snow White and the Dwarfs as they dig for riches in a dangerous mine shaft deep down below. Let’s get our hands dirty and dig around inside this online slot to see if we can find ourselves a nice cash prize for our troubles!

Dwarfs Gone Wild is a 5 reel slot game with 20 paylines that includes Free Spins, Rolling Wilds, Spreading Wilds, Wild Reels, and a Magic Mirror feature.

Special Features

The first feature to highlight is the obligatory Wild symbol which is represented by an image of the game logo. Typical to most Wild symbols, the main function of this symbol is to substitute for all other symbols apart from the Scatter symbol to help contribute to winning combinations on the reels. It is also one of the highest paying symbols along with the Snow White symbol in the game. Manage to land 5 of these symbols on an active payline then you will be celebrating with all the dwarfs with a massive payout worth 60X your bet!

Paying homage to the classic fairy tale, the game features a Magic Mirror feature which triggers when you land the Magic Mirror symbol anywhere on reel 3. Once activated, it awards 300 additional Snow White symbols along with 2 Respins.

As you play the game, you will notice a yellow meter to the left of the reels which will be 75% full when you start playing. Every time you form a win featuring Dwarf symbols then you will fill up the meter with Golden Minecarts. An extra Golden Minecart is also awarded once the meter is full. Once you have filled the meter with 7 Golden Minecarts then you will unlock 7 Dwarf features which can then be used in the Golden Minecart Free Spins Bonus Game.

Land 3 Scatter symbols on reels 2, 3, and 4 to trigger the Golden Minecart Free Spins Bonus Game. The Scatter symbol is illustrated by an image of a sparkling diamond. In this superb bonus game, you will be awarded 7 Free Spins and the number of Golden Minecarts earned in the main game determines how many Dwarf features are applied. Awarded Dwarf features display as icons above the reels and these features randomly trigger at the start of each Free Spin. The 7 Dwarf features are as follows:

• Racer: Between 2 and 5 Wilds are added to the reels.
• Bomber: 1 Wild is added to the reels and explodes to leave 2 – 4 Wilds on the reels.
• Strongman: A Wild is placed on reels 3, 4, or 5 and moves one position to the left for each Respin.
• Blacksmith: Up to 2 fully Wild reels are added.
• Huntsman: 1 Wild is added to the reels to form the best possible winning combination.
• Banker: 1 or more winning Free Spins will receive a multiplier of 2X, 3X, or 5X.
• Wizard: 3, 4, or 5 extra Free Spins are awarded.

Theme, Graphics and Sound

This game features gorgeous cartoon-like graphics as the game takes place in front of the entrance to the mineshaft that's covered with lots of moss. The symbols are beautifully designed and have a real hand-drawn quality to them as each dwarf is unique and has their own personality. Symbols consist of Snow White, the 7 Dwarfs, a Diamond, and the standard A – J icons. The animations are visually stunning as symbols enlarge and sparkle with gold dust when part of a winning combination on the reels. A special mention goes for the Hollywood style animation sequence which triggers the Golden Minecraft Free Spins Bonus Game as you are transported quickly deep down into the mine along with some of the Dwarfs.

The music is playful, enchanting, and a tad folksy. It ties in perfectly with the fairy tale theme of the game.

Our Verdict on Dwarfs Gone Wild

This game is made by Quickspin and to be honest it's one of the best fairy tale online slots we have come across in quite some time. It is visually stunning to look at, even better to play, and contains a whole host of amazing bonus features to keep players digging down that mineshaft for a long time to come! I was able to trigger the highly rewarding Golden Minecraft Free Spins Bonus Game quite a few times while playing and I found the most lucrative Dwarf to accompany you into the mine is the Banker as he offers multipliers as high as 5X for every Free Spin. I found this slot to be of Medium to High variance so you will need patience and a bit of bankroll before you eventually land a big enough payout on the reels.
