I had to find the definition of Rumpel for this one.
Rumpel: A dwarf from German folklore that helps a princess with the condition that she guesses her name correctly. She does and he dies… Ok
So yes, Rumpel Wildspins is about a dwarf, although it looks more like a gnome, and a princess. The soundtrack is like a Nintendo 64 Zelda game, happy fantasy adventure theme, it was nice to play with but the action noises from the reel kind of ruined the experience, I preferred to shut them off. Not only is the music fast paced but also the reel, prizes go as fast as they come so you better be a fast paced player.
The coolest thing of the online slot is the gamble feature, it´s like being able to play a bonus game every time you win a combination and it can really increase the chances of winning big fast.
The creators of this unexpected but catchy theme is Novomatic Slots, a slot gaming company not commonly seen on online casinos. The game design and gameplay is incredible, but user reviews are not that good when it comes to payouts. Apparently getting the bonus round can take some time and the house edge is 4.9%. Not all reviews are negative though, some players claim to be very lucky with Rumpel Wildspins although they agree on the elusive bonus round.

Symbols and Payout
Given the max and min payouts of these symbols this is not a high payout reel. Although some players have claimed success with it.
Rumpel the Dwarf - Wild: Rumpel is the Zelda looking gnome and he is the Wild. The Wild can substitute any other symbol like a joker, it increases the chances of payout. 4,000 coin max, 400 coin min.
The Frog – Scatter: The Scatter symbol is the most elusive of all, and one positive aspect of this reel is that the scatter can show on any line instead of just three. This increases the chances of nailing the bonus round, or so it should be. The scatter cannot be replaced by the Wild. By getting 3, 4 or 5 frogs on a reel a player can be awarded 2, 20 or 250 times his initial bet. 4,000 coin max, 160 min.
Jewelry: A necklace, and a diamond ring are one of the highest payouts with 1,200 coins if you get 5 of them and 160 coins with three.
Princess: The German blond should be the princess from our story, some golden bars appear next to her and pays out 2,000 coins max and 400 minimum. No wonder she is the highest payout.
A – K Symbols: 800 coins max, 80 coins min.
10-J-Q Symbols: 400 coins max, 40 coins min.
Free Spins Round
15 free spins are awarded by getting a minimum of three scatter symbols on a line. It appears no more free spins than 15 are awarded by getting more than 3 scatters, but 4 or 5 scatters will give a multiplier of 20 and 250 of the initial bet.
Once the free spins commence any Wild that comes out will remain in place for the rest of the bonus round. That means each time a Wild shows-up the chances of winning increase dramatically. This is a nice feature indeed.
Bonus Feature
This video slot does not have a bonus round game like other more modern slots, instead it does have the “Gamble” feature. The gamble feature can be used any time you win with a combination, once you do hit the “Gamble” button and a card game begins.
The card game is simple, just select the color red or black, and if the card comes out of your selected color your winnings are multiplied and you get another chance of gambling all of it once again. It is normal to win up to 3 times in this bonus round, after this you are likely to lose. So use the feature well, it can help you recover from a loss.
