Hansel And Gretel Treasure Trail Slot

Graphics

2by2 Gaming’s artwork in Hansel & Gretel Treasure Trail is nothing short of sumptuous.

The gingerbread house sits alluringly illuminated to the side of the reels, nestling in the enchanted woods like a beacon of tasty riches. Hansel and Gretel look somewhat older here than we might remember from the fairytale, as depicted by NetEnt’s Fairytale Legends Hansel And Gretel slot.

These two look more than capable of tackling an evil Witch - our third-highest symbol. Superbly finished sack of Gold, Swan, Axe and 10s through Aces make up the rest of the game symbols, though only the top and medium-payers can appear stacked in all their splendour on reels 1 and 2 to complete multiple payline wins. Any payline wins highlight in twinkling green magical dust to emphasise our fantastical journey.

Gameplay

Reels 1 and 2 can display stacked symbols that can be fully six rows high. But notice that reels 3-5 are split into two sets of three reels, giving us two semi-independent reel cases. This does mean that landing symbols on the bottom rows of reels 1 and 2 won’t contribute to winning combos on the upper rows of reels 3-5, and vice versa. But no matter, we still have plenty of opportunity to land big wins by paying 40 lines to play on 60, but landing three or more Bonus Scatters triggers the Free Spins feature that will grant us between 8-50 free spins with all prizes doubled. The feature can be retriggered by landing three or more Scatters anywhere across the reels.

And then comes the impressive progressive jackpot. Or, rather, the four progressive jackpots. The Hansel & Gretel Treasure Trail slot dangles the four jackpot amounts next to our reels. Our shot at bagging them comes when we randomly trigger the Treasure Jackpot Game. We must then open various drawers in a chest in the gingerbread house. Match three jackpot symbols and we land the relevant Silver, Gold, Ruby or Diamond jackpot.

Verdict

While Hansel and Gretel were just grateful to escape with their lives, the riches they found in the Witch’s gingerbread house were most definitely an added bonus.

It is these kinds of riches that we are hunting in the Hansel And Gretel Treasure Trail slot, a visually rich and thematically excellent effort from 2by2 Gaming and Microgaming. Much like Hansel and Gretel, their partnership is bearing fruit. Not least for we slots fans.
