Fairytale Legends: Hansel and Gretel Slot
Everyone’s trying to build themselves the next cinematic universe thanks to the success of Marvel, and it’s no different in the world of slots. The latest bite at that cherry comes from NetEnt, which has released a series of storybook pokies called Fairytale Legends, and this next one is called Fairytale Legends Hansel and Gretel, which goes alongside their Snow White title. You’re off into the woods to find the wicked witch and her gingerbread house, but will you come away with the cash or go in the oven? Let’s look at our Fairytale Legends: Hansel and Gretel slot game review.
Background
Fairytale Legends: Hansel and Gretel focus much more on the kids themselves than the wicked witch, and the game appears to be set in a forest clearing with spooky mists and magical looking fireflies flitting about. Hansel and Gretel lurk in the gloom behind the reels watching you play, while they also make an appearance as high-value symbols, with the low-value symbols represented by what could be gems or sweets of different shapes and colours. A few other fairytale staples appear on the reels, too, including an old lady who isn’t what she seems, a fairy and a treasure chest full of goodies.
The first thing we should probably say about the Fairytale Legends: Hansel and Gretel slot game is that the main game isn’t the main event, so don’t be surprised if it all looks a bit mundane. There are three rows and five reels to play on, but the most significant payout is just 40x your stake for five of the fairy wilds, though this isn’t too bad when you consider the bumper £/€/$200 betting limit you’re working with, which adds up to a high RTP of 96.71%. One little extra that you do get to work with is the stacked wilds, which show up in the main game and allow the fairy to take over the reels for big wins.
Bonuses
We said that the main game isn’t really where the fun is in this slot, which means there must be a bumper set of features in the bonuses! The first you’ll encounter is entirely random and caused by the mischievous fairy butting in on your game, adding stacked wilds to the reels, and even giving you re-spins to allow you to make the most of them! The treasure chests activate the second type of bonus, and when you land three at once on the reels, you’ll get to pick from them to start one of the three bonuses held inside. A coin win is the most simple and awards 15x your stake. The gingerbread house gives you a pick and win game with multipliers as a prize, while the free spins bonus grants you ten free spins.
CasinoNZ Verdict
This pokie looked a bit bare when we first played it, but Fairytale Legends: Hansel and Gretel grew on us once we could play all of the excellent bonuses that this game throws at you! It’s genuinely unpredictable, just like a magical witch or a cheeky fairy, and we loved the fantastic prizes that come with the tricky bonus games.
If slots are your thing, why not broaden your horizons with Conan Slot, Sweet Honey Fruity, Spinsane or Mercy of the Gods.
