Fairytale Legends: Hansel & Gretel Slot

Overview

NetEnt based their new video slot in their Fairytale Legends series on the famous Grimm Brother’s fairy tale and adventures of Hansel & Gretel, a brother and sister pair who defeats an evil witch after escaping her deceptive gingerbread house. NetEnt’s Fairytale Legends series focuses on the two protagonists who take this 5-reel and 20-payline slot from fairytales to the world of video slots and make it a complete success with innovating a popular theme.

Graphics & Theme

Fairytale Legends: Hansel & Gretel offers a dark and purple background with a mysterious forest, a bright and big full moon, as well as stars-covered sky to provide a fitting atmosphere. Large, bright, and differently shaped symbols land on transparent reels while Hansel and Gretel stand on each side, watching the action transpire. This marvelous combination sets the mood with both the visuals and sound effects.

Gameplay

This slot has no wild symbol, only a Treasure Chest Scatter which activates the main bonus feature.

Landing 3 Treasure Chest Scatters on Reels 1, 3 and 5 will activate this bonus game, where players can choose among 3 different chests, each revealing different rewards:

·         Candy House Bonus – 3 of 15 candies reveal three different multipliers, ranging from 1.2x to 120x

·         Free Spins – 2, 4 or 10 free spins can be won by landing 1, 2 or 3 Treasure Chests respectively, while a Stacked Wild will be added and cover an entire reel for a respin

·         Coin Win – Coin win with a 15x multiplier of the total bet

If Stacked Wilds cover reels 2 or 4, players receive a free respin with the Stacked Wild frozen in place. This will repeat if another Stacked Wild lands during the respin.

The game has also three special features that occur randomly – the Fairy Wonder Spin, the Fairy Surprise, and the Fairy Wild Spin, each with their distinct features.

Fairytale Legends: Hansel & Gretel is one of NetEnt’s best attempts to bring the world of fairytales to life and also offer a variety of special bonus features that other slots only can dream of.
