Children’s stories and rhymes are becoming popular themes for online slot games. But before software providers like Microgaming and Playtech entered this arena, Realtime Gaming had launched some fascinating children story based slot games at online casinos like Club World, Manhattan Slots and Silver Oak. These did not become very popular, maybe because the children’s stories they were based on were not that widespread. Now is a good time to take a look at them again.

Wooden Boy is obviously based on the story of Pinocchio, whose nose grew longer every time he lied. Players who are familiar with the story will recognise the role played by the high paying symbols. These include cuckoo clock, Pinocchio’s mentor the blue fairy, Honest John the fox who tricks Pinocchio, Pinocchio’s schoolbooks and the whale that swallows Geppetto. As expected of the theme, the symbols are bright and colourful. Popular lines from the story are recited when these appear on the reels. The low paying symbols are the playing card icons made from wood. Pinocchio is an expanded wild symbol and in the win animation you can see him being carved from wood and dancing a jig. The blue fairy is the scatter symbol. Three, four or five of these symbols landing anywhere on the reels award 5, 10 or 15 free spins respectively. During the free spins the Pinocchio wild symbol takes on a 3x multiplier property. Wooden Boy also features the Realtime Gaming randomly triggered progressive jackpot.

It is difficult to immediately connect the name Roberta's Castle to the story of Rapunzel. But once you see game load the link is clear. The background to the reels shows Roberta imprisoned in the tower of the castle with her long golden hair falling down. The change of name has been done for possible copyright reasons. The high paying symbols are brush, mirror, scissors and cat. The low paying symbols are playing card icons embedded in the rampion plant that was the cause of the girl’s imprisonment in the tower. Her parents were caught stealing rampion from the witch’s garden. The prince who rescues Roberta awards the highest line payout of 15,000 coins, which makes Roberta’s Castle a high variance slot game. The prince is also the wild symbol with a 2x multiplier. The castle window is the scatter symbol. It has a fascinating win animation. The window opens and Roberta lets her hair down and blows kisses to the prince. The symbol also awards 15 free spins at tripled payouts. Roberta’s Castle also has the Realtime Gaming randomly triggered progressive jackpot.
