Sweet Design

The wooden panel beneath the reels will allow you to view the paytable, set your bet per spin, view the amount you’ve recently won and allows you to use a manual spin or autospin feature. Symbols that you will find on the reels are; pic ‘n’ mix, blonde treat lover, brunette candy eater, the wicked witch, cupcake, wrapped sweets, gummy bears, strawberry and a duo of children enjoying candy.
Top Wins
To win the mouth-watering 1,000x your stake jackpot, you will need to tempt the wild symbols onto your reels – five of a kind will release that jackpot into your balance. Four of a kind of the wild symbols offers 250x your stake – the same amount as five of a kind of the brunette candy eater.
Tasty Bonus Features
Hansel & Gretel offers a variety of special features which can award different benefits and payouts but one of the main features is the free-falling symbols on your reels.
When you press to spin those reels, the symbols won’t spin in like standard online slot machines, instead, the symbols will drop from the air to sit comfortably within those reels. If the symbols drop and provide a winning combination, those symbols will disappear and another set of symbols will drop down in their place.
As long as you keep winning, the symbols will continue to drop – hopefully allowing you to accumulate some nice wins from a single spin of the reels. Other features you will find with this slot game are:
- Wilds – not only does the wild hold the key to the jackpot, but the wild will turn into all other symbols on the reels to hopefully complete winning combinations.
- Bonus – to trigger the bonus feature, you will need to land three bonus symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4. You will be awarded five free spins that can be retriggered by spinning in three more bonus symbols.
- Free spins – When you trigger the bonus feature the witch will make an appearance on the reels and turn all of the main characters into scatters. Whilst your free spins are in play, the three main symbols; blonde treat lover, brunette candy eater and the wicked witch will remain scatter symbols to hopefully boost potential winnings.
Yummy Verdict
Hansel & Gretel is a low to medium variance slot machine, due to the slot game allowing you to spin in decent wins quite often. The return to player (RTP) percentage is 95.8% allowing you to get a decent return on your stake.
The slot game won’t suit gamers who love fast spinning reels, as these reels will fall slowly and when a win is triggered, they will show you how you’ve won and those symbols won’t vanish too quickly either – so you can press your space bar on your keyboard, but it will have no effect on the speed of play.
We found the slot game to be fun, exciting and tempting – especially with the non-progressive jackpot and the free spins bonus on offer. You don’t have to be big stakes to win big, because when we played the slot machine on minimum stakes, we managed to trigger the free spins frequently and the amount we accumulated was almost 100x our stake.
