Red Cap

Red Cap by Endorphina is a 5x3 fairy tale slot with 20 paylines, a 3,000x top payout, and an Expanding Wild mechanic that turns the Red Cap herself into a full-reel substitute during Free Games. Land 3 or more basket Scatters to trigger 10 retriggerable free spins. Available on desktop and mobile at Wild.io with crypto.

What is Red Cap?

Red Cap is a 5x3 video slot from Endorphina with a 96.0% RTP, high volatility, and a top win of 3,000x your bet. It plays on 20 paylines and adapts the Little Red Riding Hood story into a slot where the titular character functions as an Expanding Wild that covers entire reels during the Free Games round.

The game's main mechanical hook is the transition between base-game and free-spin Wild behaviour. In the base game, the Red Cap symbol acts as a standard Wild, substituting for all paying symbols to complete 20-payline combinations. In Free Games, the same symbol expands to fill its entire reel, which on a 5x3 layout means every payline crossing that reel receives a Wild contribution. A single Free Games spin with two expanded Red Cap Wilds on adjacent reels can produce a dense cluster of completed combinations across all 20 lines simultaneously.

Who will enjoy this game the most?

You will probably enjoy this game if you like:

• High-volatility players who prefer a clear max win ceiling (3,000x) without complex accumulator math
• Players comfortable with 20-payline formats who want broad payline coverage
• Crypto players looking for a straightforward but capable feature set at Wild.io

How To Play Red Cap Slot - Step By Step

Head to Wild.io and create a free account to start playing Red Cap.

1. Choose your bet across the 20 paylines. Red Cap runs at high volatility, so factor that into your stake-to-bankroll ratio and approach responsibly.
2. Spin. In the base game, the Red Cap Wild substitutes for all paying symbols except the Scatter, completing combinations across the 20 lines.
3. Watch the basket with pies Scatter symbol. Landing 3 or more Scatters anywhere triggers 10 Free Games.
4. During Free Games, any Red Cap Wild that lands expands to cover its full reel vertically. Every payline crossing that reel now contains a Wild.
5. The free-spin round is retriggerable: landing 3 or more Scatters again during Free Games awards additional spins.
6. After any base-game win, the Risk Game lets you gamble the prize up to 10 times by guessing a card. Use it selectively given the game's volatility.
7. The Bonus Pop feature may appear in your casino depending on jurisdiction.

Red Cap Slot Theme & Graphics

Red Cap takes the Little Red Riding Hood fairy tale and translates it directly into symbol roles: Red Cap herself is the Wild, Granny is the highest-paying regular symbol, the Huntsman sits just below Granny on the pay table, and the basket of pies functions as the Scatter trigger. Each symbol plays the character's story role, giving the pay table a narrative logic that makes it easier to remember than a generic symbol hierarchy.

The visual style is illustrated rather than cartoonish, with detailed character art and a forest setting that shifts in tone during Free Games. The Expanding Wild animation showing Red Cap's cloak spreading to fill an entire reel is visually distinctive and signals immediately when the mechanic fires. On a 5x3 layout, the reel-fill is easy to read at a glance. Mobile compatibility preserves the art quality, and the 20-payline format means the grid stays legible at smaller screen sizes.

Red Cap Slot Symbols & Paytables

Red Cap's symbol set maps directly onto the fairy tale's characters, with each major figure occupying a specific role in the pay table. This makes the hierarchy intuitive once the narrative link is clear.

Special Symbols

The Red Cap character serves a double function: she is both the protagonist of the story and the Wild symbol. In the base game, she substitutes for all paying symbols except the Scatter to complete winning lines on the 20 paylines, functioning as a standard Wild. In Free Games, the same symbol transforms into an Expanding Wild: it fills the entire reel it lands on from top to bottom. On a 5x3 grid, a fully expanded Red Cap covers three positions on one reel, contributing a Wild to every one of the 20 paylines that cross that column. Two expanded Wilds on adjacent reels create a corridor of guaranteed Wild coverage across multiple paylines simultaneously. The Scatter is the basket of pies, which triggers 10 retriggerable Free Games when 3 or more land anywhere on the 5x3 grid. It also pays directly: five Scatter baskets on a payline award 200x the base bet, making a multi-Scatter landing both a direct payout and a potential Free Games trigger in the same spin.

Red Cap Bonus Feature & Special Features

Expanding Wild (Free Games)

The Red Cap Expanding Wild is the game's defining mechanic. In the base game, the Red Cap symbol substitutes for all regular paying symbols as a standard Wild. When Free Games trigger, the same symbol changes behaviour: any Red Cap Wild that lands immediately expands to fill its entire reel from row 1 to row 3 on the 5x3 grid. This means every one of the 20 paylines that crosses the expanded reel contains a Wild for that spin. On a five-reel layout, an Expanding Wild on reel 3 converts the middle column into a guaranteed Wild contribution to all paylines, dramatically increasing the completion rate for Granny and Huntsman combinations on adjacent reels. Two Expanding Wilds landing on reels 2 and 4 in the same Free Games spin creates overlapping coverage across the full payline set. Because the Free Games are retriggerable, a session with multiple Expanding Wild spins can produce a sustained elevated win rate.

Free Games

Landing 3 or more basket Scatter symbols anywhere on the 5x3 grid triggers 10 Free Games. During this round, all standard reel mechanics apply with the added Expanding Wild behaviour for the Red Cap symbol. The round is retriggerable: if 3 or more Scatters land again during Free Games, an additional set of spins is awarded. The Scatter also pays 200x the base bet for five on a payline, so a five-Scatter trigger delivers both a direct payout and the maximum retrigger potential in the same event. Because the Expanding Wild mechanic is exclusive to Free Games, the bonus round is where the majority of high-value combinations concentrate. The 20-payline format ensures that each Expanding Wild spin covers the full width of the payline set rather than a subset.

Risk Game

After any paid win in Red Cap's base game, the optional Risk Game activates. Players choose to gamble by predicting a card draw outcome: a correct guess doubles the win, and the gamble can run up to 10 consecutive times on the same prize. The Risk Game's impact is most felt on larger wins produced by Granny or Huntsman combinations, where doubling several times could produce a significantly elevated total. Red Cap already carries high volatility in the base game, so using the Risk Game on wins that represent a meaningful portion of the session bankroll adds substantial additional variance. Playing responsibly and setting a personal limit on Risk Game attempts per spin is strongly recommended.
