Fairytale Legends: Hansel & Gretel Slot

Based on the classic tale by the Brothers Grimm, Fairytale Legends: Hansel & Gretel is a 5 reel, 10 payline slot game from Net Entertainment. Following on from Fairytale Legends: Red Riding Hood, this is the second title in the developer’s Fairytale Legends series. It’s packed full of features too including re-spins, overlay symbols, transforming symbols, wild spins, free spins and a pick’em round. Enter the forest from between 10p and £200 per spin.



A magical woodland is the setting for Fairytale Legends: Hansel & Gretel - joining 4 lower value gemstone symbols are Hansel and Gretel as well as the Fairytale Legends logo which is the top payer - land 3, 4 or 5 of these and you’ll win 20, 60 or 100 coins.

When a wild symbol lands fully stacked on reel 2 or 4, you’ll trigger the Stacked Wild Re-Spins feature and be awarded a re-spin. Extra stacks of symbols are added to reels 1 and 5 (in addition to reels 2 and 4 during the re-spin). The re-spins continue as long as you get stacked wilds on the re-spins – it can lead to 4 fully wild reels!

Hansel and Gretel also comes with a selection of extras that can hit at random in the base game.

  • Fairy Wonder Spin feature - a cluster of between 5 and 9 Fairytale Legend logo symbols are overlaid on the reels for a single spin.
  • Fairy Surprise feature - this can trigger after any winless base game spin. A symbol is the selected at random - other symbols, starting with the lowest value gemstone will then transform into the chosen symbol. These transformations continue until a winning combination is created.
  • Fairy Wild Spin feature - 2 full stacks of wilds can randomly appear on reels 1, 2, 4 or 5. After the spin is complete and the payout been made you’ll also be awarded a stacked wild re-spin.

There’s also a treasure chest which is the scatter - land this on reels 1, 3 and 5 on the same spin and you’ll trigger the bonus round. Choose a box to reveal 1 of 3 bonus features:

Coin Win feature - this is just what you’d expect. Here you’ll be awarded an instant win cash bonus of up to 15 times your stake.

Candy House Bonus feature - this is a picks round where you have to select from the sweeties stuck to the house. Each them reveals a multiplier. Pick 3 of them. You’ll then be awarded the average of those 3 picks or 1 of the 3 chosen multipliers. There’s up to 120 times your stake to be won.

Free Spins feature - 10 free spins are awarded. Look out for bonus symbols as 1, 2 or 3 will give you 2, 4 or 10 extra free spins. Furthermore, stacked wilds can appear on reels 1, 2, 4 or 5 to trigger the Stacked Wild Re-Spin feature with re-spins awarded for more stacked wilds appearing.

Net Entertainment has managed to pack plenty into this fairy tale reboot. Expect to land the randomly triggered base game extras at regular intervals. The triggered rounds are harder to come by but all of them can deliver some decent action, as can the stacked wild re-spins – up to 400 times your total stake.

Slot games from NetEnt are usually good looking affairs and that’s the case with Fairytale Legends: Hansel & Gretel - the 3D-style visuals give a fresh look to a classic story. In fact, that’s how you could describe the game overall. It’s taken a classic theme and given it a slick overhaul. If you enjoyed the first in NetEnt’s Fairytale Legends series, then you’ll find plenty to like in this second outing from Hansel and Gretel.
