Rumpel Wildspins (Greentube) – Review & Demo Play

Rumpel Wildspins Review

Rumpel Wildspins is an impish fairytale from Novomatic where I get to be my own version of Rumpelstiltskin and spin gold from the reels. The storybook feel hits straight away, with a blonde maiden turned queen, jewellery, gold bars and that ignoble little fellow peering out at you. The moonlit backdrop and dark reels set a moody scene that takes me back to childhood tales while keeping the focus on simple, exciting spins and steady chances to cash in.

It’s a five reel slot with up to 20 win lines and a classic three row layout, so nothing fiddly. Payouts come when 3 or more matching symbols land from the first reel, and the rhythm suits low variance play. With a 95.1% RTP and low volatility noted, I’ve seen consistent, if smaller, wins in base game spurts. It’s not a progressive, yet the setup and pace make it a fair value spin when I fancy a fairytale theme done right.

Game setup in Rumpel Wildspins

Available on mobile, tablet, and desktop, Rumpel Wildspins runs with 20 paylines on 5x3 reels. I can bet up to 500 coins, adjust lines from 1 to 20, and keep the screen uncluttered, as most options sit in the menu. Holding the spin button triggers auto spin, while Bet Max is tucked away neatly. Wins are uncomplicated. Symbols need to line up from the left on a win line. It’s that simple, and the control scheme feels tidy during play.

Wild symbols in Rumpel Wildspins

The wild symbol is the man himself, peering impishly from the reels. When he lands, he substitutes for anything except the frog scatter, completing lines that would otherwise miss. In base play I’ve had tidy line hits thanks to a single wild bridging gaps, and clusters can turn a modest screen into something decent. The design keeps it classic, so you’re not wading through gimmicks, just looking for Rumpel to step in and turn near-misses into payouts across 20 lines.

He’s not just a substitute either. As stated in the game info, single wild landings can award tidy bonuses in their own right, with 5, 10, or 50 times the bet popping up when Rumpel shows. During Wildspins, any wild that lands stays fixed for the remainder of the round, so a single sticky can rescue a session, while two or three locked in place can keep wins rolling. That behaviour is where I’ve seen the slot lift above its steady base game cadence.

Scatter Symbols in Rumpel Wildspins

A bright green frog serves as the scatter, and it pays wherever it lands. Three or more on a spin triggers the Wildspins feature with 15 free spins. During these spins, any wild that appears will stay fixed until the last free spin is used, so you can build a screen of sticky helpers over time. That’s where the fairytale spark kicks in for me, as each new wild that sticks ramps up the pressure on those lines from the left.

The scatter pays too, awarding prizes on 3, 4, or 5 frogs that can reach 2x, 20x, and even 500x the total bet. Land another set of three scatters during Wildspins and you get a fresh batch of 15 spins added on. There are no break out bonus rounds bolted on here; it’s all about those free spins and the fixed wilds doing the heavy lifting. Simple, story-led play that still carries proper hit potential when the frogs turn up.

After a win, the gamble feature appears. I can choose the colour, red or black, on the next card and double the take if I call it right; get it wrong and the win is gone. It’s a classic risk step that fits the slot’s pace. I tend to use it after small line hits when chasing a tidy top-up, and I bail if the stack grows. It’s optional, quick, and it drops you straight back into the reels.
