Hansel and Gretel Slot Gameplay
At first glance, Fairytale Legends: Hansel and Gretel looks like any other modern slot. However, if you look closely you will notice that it has way more to offer than your average slot (wild, scatter, etc.).
There are so many special features that it’s hard to keep track of them all. For example, there is the Stacked Wild Re-spin, three Random Features (Fairy Surprise, Fairy Wonder Spin, and Fairy Wild Spin), as well as three Bonus Features.
That is a total of seven extra features, and extra features mean more possible chances to hit the jackpot.
Setting up a slot for spinning could not be simpler. As with most NetEnt slots your bet can be set by simply selecting an appropriate bet level (from 1 to 10) and coin value (from €0.01 to €2) by using the sliders provided.
Players also have the option of either spinning manually or enabling the auto spin function. Autospin will automatically spin the reels for the selected number of games. If you are left-handed, the slot also has a left-hand function, which means that the spin button moves over to the left side of the screen for easier spinning.
Additional Game Features
During the main game, stacked wilds can appear only on reels 2 and 4. However, they can also make their appearance on 1st and 5threels during a Stacked Wild Re-Spin. In order to trigger a Stacked Wild Re-Spin, stacked wilds need to cover an entire reel.
Fairytale Legend Hansel and Gretel also have three Random Features: Fairy Surprise, Fairy Wonder Spin, and Fairy Wild Spin. The Fairy Surprise feature is triggered randomly when no wins occur in the main game. A symbol is randomly selected from the reels. Other symbols (low win symbols first) will start turning into the randomly selected symbol until a win is awarded. During the Fairy Wonder Spin, a group of 5-9 game logos will appear for just one spin as an overlay on the reels. During the Fairy Wild Spin Feature, two stacks of wilds can appear on reels 1, 2, 4, and 5.
Landing three bonus symbols on reels 1, 3, and 5 of the main game activates one of the bonus features (Free Spins, Candy House Bonus, and Coin Win). In the Candy House Bonus players have to choose 3 out of 15 items. Each of these items equals a multiplier.
Game Design
In terms of game design, Fairytale Legends Hansel and Gretel is a smooth animation of the well-known fairytale. Let’s start with the main characters; Hansel and Gretel. They are everything you could imagine in terms of creativity and design. Other symbols include bright yellow, purple, green, and red coloured candy in all shapes and sizes. Then there is also a game logo symbol and a bonus symbol.
The reels in which the symbols are set are seamless. There are no borders separating the reels. The reels, in turn, are set against a starry night sky. In the background, you can also see a path through the woods. Hovering just above the reels on the right-hand side of the screen is a full moon to brighten the dark night and lead the way.
All the displays and settings are also conveniently placed. At the bottom of your screen or just below the reels (depending on whether your mobile device is in portrait or landscape) the coins you still have available to bet, cash, bet, and winnings are displayed. If you wish to adjust your bet, these settings can be found in the top right-hand corner of the screen. You can also set your spin settings while you are there.
Summary
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a character in Hansel and Gretel? Now you do not have to wonder any longer, NetEnt has made it possible. However, this time you will be collecting more than just candy. Fairytale Legends Hansel and Gretel has so much to offer in terms of gameplay and prizes. It includes an astounding seven special features (excluding the wild). These features not only make winning easier but also makes the game more exciting.
Instead of wondering whether or not you will be lucky enough to trigger a special feature, with this one you will be wondering which feature it is that you’ll be triggering. There really is no better way to play.
