Thumbelina's Dream from EGT: Slot Review - a fairly good slot!

Accompany Thumbelina on a magical adventure as she searches for love while avoiding a toad, a mole, a mouse, and a doodlebug!

Fairytale based slots have really hit their stride in the last few months so it was no surprise when EGT decided to release a slot based on the classic story of Thumbelina. For those that have never heard of this fairytale, we shall fill you in! Basically it is about a tiny girl called Thumbelina and the adventures she goes on such as avoiding the attentions of toads, moles, and doodlebugs before falling in love with a flower-fairy prince who is the perfect size just for her. Will this slot have a happy ever after just like the fairytale or will a toad or two drop by and spoil the party?

Thumbelina’s Dream has 6 reels, 225 paylines and features Free Spins, Stacked Symbols, Expanding Wilds, a Progressive Jackpot, and a Gamble option.

Special Features

The first thing I noticed while playing this slot is its unusual reel layout. It features two grids together, you will notice a small 3x3 grid on the left-hand side and this is attached to a much larger 5x3 grid. It is quite original especially when you compare it to more traditional based slots that usually contain 5 reels of the same size and shape. It is also worth noting that all of the symbols come stacked in this game.

The Wild symbol is represented by the main character of the game which is Thumbelina of course. This symbol substitutes for all other symbols except the Scatter symbol which is displayed by a handsome looking fairy prince. The Wild symbol only appears on reels 2 and 5 but a neat thing about it is that it can expand on its left and right neighbouring positions. Thumbelina is also the highest paying symbol in the game and if your luck is in and you manage to land 6 Wild symbols then you will be treated to a glorious payout of 5,000 coins!

If you land 3 Scatter symbols on reels 4, 5, and 6 then you will trigger the Free Spins game and be awarded with 10 Free Spins. For every additional Scatter symbol you land in this game then you will be awarded an extra Free Spin which is then added to the current amount of Free Spins.

Thumbelina’s Dream also features a Gamble mode. This activates when you form a winning combination on the reels and it involves correctly predicting the colours of red or black of some random playing cards. If you guess the colour correctly then your win is doubled but make sure to choose your colour very carefully as if you guess incorrectly then you will lose the gamble amount and be taken back to the main game.

The last feature to mention is the set of 4 progressive jackpots which are displayed just above the top of the reels. A cool thing about these jackpots is that they can be won at any time, regardless of what is happening in the game. When a jackpot game is triggered, you will need to match 3 of the same suit of playing cards in order to win the corresponding progressive jackpot.

Theme, Graphics and Sound

The game features some amazing graphics. The background of the slot is a forest setting complete with a pond and various plant life surrounding it. Symbols are taken directly from the fairytale so you will notice characters such as a mouse, a frog, a doodlebug, the fairy prince, and of course the centrepiece of the game...Thumbelina! Each symbol is beautifully rendered and looks like it was expertly hand drawn by a skilled artist. The animations are excellent especially when you form a win along the reels as characters burst into life and you are treated to a very cool 3D animation movie.

There is not that much music to speak of when you are playing the main game but when you trigger the Free Spins game, you will be able to listen to an upbeat and melodic style soundtrack. It ties in with the theme of the game superbly.

Win lines, Payouts and Jackpots

The game has 225 paylines, an RTP of 96.16%, a low maximum payout worth 250X your stake, and the chance to win from a four-level progressive jackpot.

Below is a summary taken from the PayOut Table from the game. The amount won for each combination depends on the value of the bet when you spin the reels.
