Personal testers opinion

If you are a fan of the story about Hansel and Gretel, it will be necessary to try your luck here, with famous characters from the fairy tale. This slot is the second from the Fairy Tales series. The first was Fairytale Legends: Red Riding Hood slot. Shortly speaking, it has similar settings of the slots, the same stretching winning cycle and the same manner of gradual selection of balance with increasing intervals between the large winning. My conclusion is the neutral recommendations for playing for real money.

Review and recommendations from the testing team

This slot is the second in the Fairytale Legends series. It is not much better than its previous slot, and just like Red Riding Hood, in my opinion, it is rather mediocre if comparing it with Mirror Mirror, again it is due to the small number of active lines and the payouts you get on them. Just like the other slots of the series, it has not only a bonus game but also extra features in the normal game mode.

  • Unlike its predecessor, it has a big plus in the normal game mode, it will regularly drop the Wild reels, but in most cases, you will not get a big win from them, as it usually gives 1-2, sometimes 3.
  • In theory, the feature when the Fairy appears in the centre of the screen and randomly triggers the extra Wild reels (from 1 to 3) gives not a small chance to hit a big win while expecting the other Wild reels and the top symbols. In practice, during our tests, several times we managed to get 4 Wild reels on the sides, but as a rule, it does not give top symbols between them.
  • The Fairy that appears from the right triggers the feature of changing the symbols after the reels stop, in this case, she will definitely change the symbols across all 5 reels, which may give you not a small winning, provided that the symbols are on an active line, but still, it will be lower than at Mirror Mirror.
  • The chance you get a bonus game is quite low. It is not difficult to select a map to get the bonus you want, and you may easily guess the maps after the second or third bonus. As in other slots of the series, you may choose the coins, the bonus game or the free spins.
  • Unlike the Red Riding Hood slot where the player has no part in it, here you may choose what you want. The maximum winning is 120x total bets. By the way, during our tests, we managed to guess this value several times. You may want not to risk and choose the average value of 3 choices. Unlike the last of the series, it is more generous and gives 120x bets quite often.
  • The free spins here are different. Despite the fact that it is one the few NetEnt slots, which, like Novomatic and Amatic, may give a large number of re-triggers and more than 100 free spins, the winning you will get from them are quite small, again it is due to the small number of lines and the payouts you get on them. During our tests, the winnings we got from the free spins were up to 150x total bets, in most cases they varied between 20x - 40x total bets, which is extremely small, considering how frequent they drop.

The slot has average dispersion, but unlike the last of the series, it keeps the balance up better and is, therefore, more suitable for playing the bonus money and fulfilling the wagering requirements, you should know it is still interesting to play this series of slots. In total, our recommendations are neutral. The recommended reserve of bet balance is 200 bets.

  • Fairy Wild Spin - the fairy shows the red bricks road and launches the re-spin. At the same time stacked Wild may fall on the other reels.

How to win at Fairytale Legends: Hansel and Gretel slot machine (conclusion) 

It's good to remember a basic rule when you start playing at an online casino: always test the slot machines in demo mode before depositing real money. During the tests, we noticed that the game is not much sensitive to changing denominations and bets per line (we believe it does not change the cycle).

You better remember that the high winning potential is in the free spins feature. That's why the recommended bet balance reserve is around 200 bets, enough to wait for a few triggers of the free spins feature. The slot machine has a lot of bonus features that make it a good one for a little bit bigger bets but do not rush to the max bets. We leave absolutely neutral recommendations for bonus hunters to fulfil the wagering requirements.
