Fairytale Legends: Hansel and Gretel Video slots

Hansel And Gretel Make A Fortune.

Follow Hansel and Gretel into the dark forest for cluster wins, stacked wilds, free respins, 3 bonus games and a super sweet RTP of 96.71%. The fairies are waiting to show you the way home.

Gameplay

It’s a magical night and Hansel and Gretel are walking through the forest to a dreamy soundtrack, looking for sweets. This Netent slot is the counterpart of the Fairytale Legends: Red Riding Hood slot, so it’s hard not to make comparisons: They are both 5×3 reel slots with the same style of graphics, fairies granting special features and when you trigger the bonus game, you choose your bonus feature from 3 mysterious treasure chests. That’s about where the similarities end.

In Hansel and Gretel, there are 10 paylines, not 20 as in Red Riding Hood, and the RTP stands slightly higher at 96.71%. There are 7 base symbols of which the Fairytale Legends logo has the highest value, with wins of up to 400 coins. The other symbols include Hansel, Gretel and 4 different colored lollies. There are also wilds stacked x3 high and whenever one covers an entire reel, you get a free respin.

Hansel and Grettel has 3 fairy features in the base game, but they also have different powers to the ones in Red Riding Hood. The Fairy Wonder spin, for example, grants clusters of 5-9 game logo symbols overlaying the reels for x1 spin. The Fairy Surprise turns lower symbols into a matching higher symbol until a winning combination is made. The Fairy Wild Spin grants you get 2 full stacks of Wild symbols and a stacked wild respin as well.

Special Features

When you trigger the bonus game by getting x3 bonus treasure chest symbols on the reels, you start by choosing between three mystery chests to reveal which of 3 bonus games you’ll play. The Candy House bonus game is the most interesting, where you choose 3 out of 15 lollies, each with different multipliers up to x120. Then you can either claim the average of the three multipliers or once again, choose from the three mystery lollies and take whatever multiplier is revealed. The other two games are a 10 free spins and a straight up coin rewards of x15 your current bet.

Verdict

On its own, this is a fantastic game with multiple special features in the base game and a highly original and themed bonus game. For some reason, we still found Red Riding Hood more entertaining. Nevertheless, Hansel and Gretel is enjoyable to play, offers a 96.71% RTP, solid and regular wins and it doesn’t take long to trigger any of the features.
