Skazka is a Playtech slot game based on Russian fairy tales. The symbols on the reels successfully create a fairy tale effect. The Girl and the Soldier have a Russian look. The Frog and the Fish are straight out from a fairy tale book. Even the high value card symbols have fonts that appear in fairy tale books. They are brightly colored, patterned and ornate. Skazka has three special symbols. The wild symbol is the Hut. The scatter symbol is the Dragon. The Free Games Logo triggers the free spins bonus round. The symbols have been crafted in detail. Many of them show a forest in the background. The Fish is set against a background of waves and the Girl is shown standing in front of a house.

The background music is a lively jig that can be associated with nursery rhymes. It complements the theme well. There are some fantastic animations in all the symbols except the high value cards. The Fish starts swimming and the Frog starts jumping. The soldier raises his bushy eyebrows and smiles. The Girl winks and blows kisses. The Dragon breathes fire. The Hut dances to the tune of the music. Full Review - Skazka (9.29)

Skazka allows players to manipulate all three betting parameters. The players can choose from eight coin sizes that vary from 0.01 to 5.00. Most of the coin sizes are less than 1.00, which is great for low rollers. There are 20 paylines and players can wager up to 10 coins per payline. These selections can be made by using the appropriate buttons below the reels. Players who want to wager with all paylines enabled and with 10 coins per payline can simply click the Bet Max button. Further convenience is provided through an Auto Play feature.

The Hut wild symbol substitutes for all symbols except the scatter symbol and the free games symbol. However it does not act as a multiplier. It does offer the highest fixed jackpot of 10,000 coins when five Hut symbols appear in an active payline. Even if two Hut symbols appear from left to right in an active payline there is a payout of 10 coins. The coins are multiplied by the line bet to convert to credits. The Dragon scatter symbol offers scatter payouts when two or more appear anywhere on the reels. When five scatter symbols appear on the reels the payout is 250 coins, which is multiplied by the total bet in order to convert to credits.

In Skazka the free spins are triggered by the Free Games Logo when it appears simultaneously on reels 1 and 5. The players are given 20 free spins with doubled payouts. The free spins can be retriggered infinite times if the Free Games Logo appears on reels 1 and 5 at the same time during free spins. Players have the option of playing the Gamble Game after each payout. They can stake the payout in an attempt to double it by guessing the color of the next card drawn. However they will lose their payout if they guess incorrectly. Players can continue playing the Gamble Game till the limit of 1500.00 is reached.
