There seems to be a demand for video slots based on children’s tales and rhymes. And games suppliers to online casinos are obliging. NetEnt has released Hansel & Gretel, which is a part of the Fairytale Legends trilogy along with Red Riding Hood and Snow White. Hansel & Gretel was written by the Brothers Grimm in 1812 and tells the story of forsaken siblings. This video slot is live at all NetEnt online casinos like InterCasino.

Hansel & Gretel has the standard 5 reels and 3 rows structure with 10 fixed paylines. The highest line payouts are awarded by the Fairytale Legends logo, which is a common symbol across the series. The brother and sister Hansel and Gretel are the medium paying symbols. The witch is not there, but the coloured candies that decorated her chocolate home are the low paying symbols. In the story birds ate up the crumbs dropped by Hansel, preventing the children from finding their way home. The bird is the wild symbol and it appears stacked on reels 2 and 4. When this happens, you will be awarded a re-spin in which the wild stack can land on some of the other reels as well.

The Magic Fairy can randomly appear on the reels after any spin and award one of three bonus features. The Fairy Wonder Spins feature will add a cluster of up to nine game logo symbols for one spin. This increases the chance of hitting a big payout. The Fairy Surprise feature can be awarded only after a winless spin. Symbols on the reels are successively changed to one randomly selected symbol until a winning combination is formed. The Fairy Wild Spin adds up two reels of wild symbols and then awards a respin with the wild reels held fixed.

The treasure chest symbol triggers the main bonus in which you can randomly be awarded one of three features. The simpler ones award 10 free spins and a multiplier of 15 times the bet. Players would prefer to be awarded the bonus game on the second screen. In this feature you are taken to the witch’s cottage where 15 candies displayed. You have to pick three of them. Each selection will award a payout multiplier. You can either accept the average value of the multipliers or take another pick. If you choose the latter option you have to go with what is offered.
