If you don’t know who Baba Yaga is yet, you will after playing this slot! In Slavic folk stories, Baba Yaga, or Baba Jaga, is a supernatural being who looks like a ferocious-looking woman. She’s pretty creepy! She looks like she could give those walking fellas in the Granny vs Zombies slot a run for their money.
The Baba Yaga Tales slot is a game with a difference. It is part of the Folktales series that was launched by Spinomenal in 2022. This 50 ways to win slot game is set in the depths of a fairy tale forest with a bunch of terrifying features waiting to scare the bejaysus out of you.
With rising stacked wilds, a buy feature, and free spins, it has plenty going for it. The maximum win is 1000x of your bet. OK, so that doesn’t hit the heights of the Nitropolis 4 slot from ELK Studios(50,000x), but it is pretty solid.

Graphics
Set in a dim forest, with freaky characters adorning the reels, Baba Yaga Tales is a slot based on kids’ fairy tale heroes—with a deep and eerie soundtrack to set the mood on the reels. It reminds me of the vibe on the Brood of Gods slot, I’m not sure why!
The wild has plenty of features. It can appear as stacked, shifting or expanding. If any portion of a stacked wild lands on reel three in the base game, it extends, and a stacked wild rising feature occurs.
You get between one to five re-spins, and it also pays out 1000x if you find five on a pay-line. In addition, you can receive up to five re-spins if further wilds land on the reels and you trigger a re-spin. are you starting to get interested now? We are: there are loads of innovative sides to this game.

Winning Symbols Re-Spins
During this round, you will get ten free spins alongside the Re-Spins feature which triggers on winning combos. All winning symbols remain on the reels, and the game re-spins until no more wins are notched up. It’s kind of like Avalanche Wins without the Avalanche!
Shift Wild
This gets you five free spins with a stacked wild, starting on the first reel. The Stack moves to the right and locks in place on each win for a re-spin. Pretty funky!
Extra Wild
On this feature, you get ten free spins and a Sticky Wild on reel three and the 2nd row only. The phoenix also adds more wilds to the reels to help you hit larger pay-outs during each spin.
Expanding Wilds
Lastly, the expanding wilds feature gives you ten free spins. Any part of the wild landing expands to cover the entire reel. There are no other wild symbols during this feature. The expanding ones should cover you.
