Play Hansel & Gretel from Rags to Riches for Free

Everyone who grew up outside of the city probably spent their childhood days exploring the local woodlands, building dens, riding bikes and generally get up to no good. However, the ultimate forest explorers were undoubtedly Hansel and Gretel, the German brother and sister who managed to delve so deep into the woods that they came across a house made entirely from candy. Woe were they, however, that this sugary abode was the dwelling of a hungry child-eating witch!

This free Hansel & Gretel from Rags to Riches slot machine retells the story of the two siblings with 5 reels that are decorated with plenty of candy canes, sugar sprinkles and gingerbread crumbs. In fact, the whole aspect of the slot is quite saccharine compared to the slightly sinister Brothers Grimm origins, especially when you see the far-from haggard witch character in the bonus round!

This pokie game is played on 5 reels with 20 fixed paylines, meaning that spinners simply have to decide how big a bet they wish to place on the reels before they start spinning. The wagering options available being at the bottom level of just 0.20 credits (0.01 per line) and go up to the top limit of 500.00 credits (25.00 coins per line). So, it’s safe to say that you will find a bet to meet your needs no matter if you are a casual player or a high roller.

With a low to medium variance level, spinners shouldn’t find it too difficult to secure those all important winning combinations from left to right across the paylines. However, the down side to this relatively reliable win rate is that the game doesn’t have any truly massive prizes in the paytable. In fact, the jackpot of the base game is a 400x line bet multiplier that is awarded whenever five matching ‘Wild’ or logo icons appear aligned on a win line.

As well as being one the slot’s most high-paying icons, the wild symbols will help punter grab some winning spins since it will be able to replace all other symbols except for the ‘Bonus’ scatters. F three of those bonus witch’s hats appear on the reels in any position, players will be given the tantalising option of selecting a chocolate coin with the opportunity to trigger a bonus gameplay feature for extra winning chances.

These bonus elements include a pick ‘em fruit feature in which spinners will meet the not-so-nasty looking witch with the chance to select the number of free spins, the win multiplier and the extra wild and scatter symbols that will be in play for the feature. Other extra game elements include a ‘Bird Blast’ game as well as a ‘Foggy Trail’ for the chance to explore the forest for more wins. Players will also be able to boost the wins as they play with the level-up feature that applies to the special symbols that correspond to the character chosen before the game begins.

Hansel & Gretel is one of the most well-known and popular folk tales from the Brothers Grimm fairy tale collection. Other stories that were published by the German philologists include The Frog King, Rapunzel, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty.
