Introduction

Triple Cherry is a Spanish game developer that was founded in 2018 by enthusiasts who are also mathematicians, designers and software experts. Triple Cherry online slots have become popular in a very short space of time, and their free play slots are now widely available. With this particular game, they are following similar games like Betsoft's Pinocchio slot, which shows they are not shy about taking on long-established industry giants.

Pinocchio’s Journey has a 5-reel, 3-column grid with 25 fixed pay lines. The minimum bet size is 0.30 and the maximum is 20. There are 16 symbols. The first 8 in the base game are all from Gepetto’s workshop: a Wooden Boy, a Toy Truck, a Piggy Bank, a Giraffe, a Hammer, a Hook, a Saw and Wood Blocks. The second 8 in the free spins game are characters: Pinocchio, the Whale, the Fox and Cat, the Ringmaster, the Coachman, Gepetto, the Wooden Horse and Pepe the Cricket. The wild is the blue fairy, and the bonus is Pinocchio’s hat.

Theme, graphics and soundtrack

The heavy red curtains draw apart to remind us of the story’s theatrical history, not just as a play but as one of Disney’s earliest movie successes. The grid is an interesting, ornate metal structure behind which we get a glimpse of Gepetto’s workshop. Two candles burn above the grid and the symbols move against a black backdrop, seemingly without support. Rather than coming to a conventional hard stop when the spinning ends, they hover gently in the air with the slightest hints of animation. The progress bar above the grid is an interesting feature, with Pinocchio’s anxious face watching events.

Once you enter the free spins feature, the setting changes to a sunny meadow where the toys and tools are replaced by characters from the story. The visuals are very nice. Instead of replicating the Disney look, Triple Cherry have gone for a more nuanced and slightly sinister look. Pinocchio himself never looks like the wide-eyed innocent of the movie; he’s more like the naughty tearaway of the source book.

The soundtrack rather lets it down as it's neither atmospheric nor suggestive of the place or theme.

Pinocchio's Journey Review: Our verdict

This is a pretty decent game that takes a theme that may be familiar but renders it well. The hit rate of 43.1 per cent is very good, and we like the two-reel arrangement that makes the free spins round feel like a full-scale game. It's worth a look.
