Hansel & Gretel Candyhouse Slot Review

Hansel & Gretel Candyhouse RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Hansel & Gretel Candyhouse has a 5×3 reel setup and 25 fixed paylines. Wins are formed by matching 3 or more symbols on adjacent reels from left to right, beginning from the leftmost reel.

Stakes range from just 10p up to £10 per spin. While it may not cater to really high-stakes players, it should cater to most and it’s always great to see a 10p minimum rather than 20p for lower-stake enthusiasts. Like all other Red Tiger online slots, simply use the + and – buttons on either side of the bet value below the reels to adjust your total stake. Autoplay and turbo spins may also be options in your country.

The Hansel & Gretel Candyhouse RTP is 95.73%, which is lower than a lot of other UK online slots on the market. When it comes to volatility this game is rated as high.

The maximum win is 6,962 x your total stake. The Sibling Reels feature provides you with a great chance of landing the top prize due to the nature of the feature. The Free Spins feature also offers unlimited retriggers, which makes the max win more achievable. But it’s always important to note that achieving this is very rare.

Theme – who’s nibbling at the witches’ house?

Enter a magical world when you load the Hansel & Gretel Candyhouse slot game. If you’re not familiar with the story, the original Hansel and Gretel fairytale is about 2 siblings who try to survive in the woods after being abandoned by their parents. however, this is a dangerous scenario as they encounter a witch living in a house of cakes, sugar and bread. The house behind the reels may well be the witches’ home.

The visuals are fairly basic but they’re crisp and colourful, which makes it very appealing to the eye. The audio isn’t too bad and fits well with the fairytale theme. Trigger the Free Spins feature and the reels darken, the house to the left of the reels is beaming with light and the audio intensifies to add the overall appeal. I always like it when the soundtrack is more intense during a bonus feature and Red Tiger has done it well here.

On the reels, the card suits make up the lower-paying symbols. These are joined by higher-paying brooms and boots as well as the characters from the fairytale – Hansel, Gretel and the witch. The witch symbol is the most lucrative, paying 2, 3 or 12 x the bet for 3, 4 or 5 in combination. The game’s Wild is a cauldron, and it substitutes for all symbols. Not only that but it can also pay up to 40x if there are 5 in combination.

Hansel & Gretel Candyhouse Bonus Features

There are 3 bonus features in the Hansel & Gretel Candyhouse. First up is a unique Sibling Reels feature, which could lead to some big wins. Then there’s a Free Spins feature with unlimited retriggers. Lastly, you can buy these features if you’re outside the UK. Read on as we explain how they all work, starting with the Sibling Reels feature.

Sibling Reels Feature

On any spin, 2, 3, 4 or 5 reels may randomly become marked as siblings. This means that these reels will all show the same set of symbols when the spin stops. An example is shown in the free spins screenshot below. When testing, I experienced Sibling Reels quite frequently.

Free Spins Feature

Land 3 or more Scatters in the base game of the Hansel & Gretel Candyhouse slot to trigger this bonus feature. You will start with at least 10 free spins, but here’s a useful table showing how many free spins you could get depending on how many Scatters land:

During the bonus round, the same reels on which the Scatters have landed will remain siblings for the duration of the spins. Landing 3, 4 or 5 Scatters during the feature will award 10, 12 or 15 extra free spins with no upper limit on the number of times this can happen.

Buy Bonus Feature

Non-UK players can buy the bonus features for the following prices:

Hansel & Gretel Candyhouse Slot Review Summary – siblings are the key to bigger wins

If you know the fairytale already then you probably knew what to expect here, but the witch is in fact your friend rather than your foe as it’s the highest-paying symbol in the game. Not only that but the witches’ cauldron is the game’s Wild too, and that can potentially lead to bigger wins with the help of Sibling Reels. I’m not sure it beats NetEnt’s Fairytale Legends: Hansel & Gretel slot for visuals, but I prefer the overall gameplay in this one if I’m being completely honest.

While the Free Spins feature is much like the others you’ll come across in other slots, the Sibling Reels feature is unique and a great addition. As I mentioned previously, I managed to enjoy a lot of luck with this bonus feature in terms of bigger wins and hit rate frequency. This only bodes well for you in my opinion if you choose to give it a go. Don’t hesitate to try our free demo first.

Overall, while I enjoyed the bonus features, I wasn’t too excited by the visuals or the soundtrack. The low RTP rate and 6,962 x max win potential aren’t anywhere near competing with the best UK slots, it’s got enough going for it to keep you interested. That’s why it’s been given a rating from me that’s slightly above average. A solid slot that could have been so much better with some minor tweaks.
