Fairytale Legends: Hansel and Gretel

Hansel and Gretel is the next in the Fairytale Legends series, following on from the success of Fairytale Legends: Red Riding Hood in 2016. If you enjoy this game you’re in luck, as Cinderellaand Snow White games are also in the pipeline.

The story of Hansel and Gretel is that of the two young children who are abandoned in a forest, with only a trail of breadcrumbs to find the way home.

There’s an evil witch and her candy house to contend with, although in this game a good fairy offers assistance. We follow behind the two kids as they try to find their way home under starryskies.

The dark forest forms the gloomy backdrop for this game, with the three high value images being Hansel, Gretel and the game logo. Four minor value symbols are different colored sweets. Thisfairytale game really is the stuff of legends, as it is packed full of entertaining bonus features. For example, Stacked Wilds can appear on reels 2 and 4. If the wild covers the entire reel, aStacked Wild Re-spin occurs, with Stacked Wilds now available on reels 1 and 5 as well. There are also 3 random features activated at any time during the main game by that helpful fairy.

During Fairy Wonder Spin, a cluster of 5 to 9 max value game logos will appear anywhere across the reels. Fairy Surprise happens after a losing spin, with the lowest value symbols replaced by arandom new symbol until a win occurs. Fairy Wild Spin is the last random feature, and here 2 full stacks of Wilds can appear on reels 1,2,4 or 5. All of these random features are most welcome,although for us the Fairy Wild Spin is the best of the bunch. As if these random features weren’t enough, there are three bonus games available from this enchanting slot.

With 3 bonus chests on reels 1,3 and 5 one of the three bonuses will be unlocked. You choose your treasure chest to reveal which of the bonuses will be yours. The Candy House Bonus is a pick ‘emfeature, with a choice of colorful candies to choose from. You pick 3 from 15 and earn either the average of the three multipliers, or else pick one of the three as a multiplier. The alternativebonuses on offer are either Free Spins or Coin Win.

Free Spins gives you 10 free rounds, while the Coin Win amounts to x15 your stake. A true slot game fan will always wish for the free spins, but all of these bonuses can prove rewarding.

There are only 10 paylines available in this game but again there’s a positive twist to this tale. You will win if three symbols appear in a line anywhere on the reels: from the left, right or inthe center. That’s just another factor to explain the popularity of the Hansel & Gretel slot, which has made a big splash since its debut. Released by NetEnt in mid-2017, the game has been afixture in the lobbies of hundreds of casinos worldwide. Boasting a high return to player of 96.71%, this medium variance slot has bewitched slot gaming fans, and bodes well for future entries inthe Fairytale series.
