 Hey everyone,Forget the gingerbread house—this slot takes the Hansel and Gretel story to a much darker, more epic level! I just spent some time with Grimms' Bounty: Hansel & Gretel, and it’s a seriously engaging game with a cool progression mechanic. The storyline is a sequel of sorts: years after their escape, Hansel and Gretel are the only ones who can save Candy Village from the returned witch, Muriel. The art style reflects this perfectly, with a grittier, more atmospheric feel than your typical candy-themed slot. Let's break down the gameplay, which is where this game really stands out. It’s built on a 3-reel, 5-row grid, which is a less common setup that I found really interesting. Instead of traditional paylines, this game uses a "Ways to Win" system. This means you create wins by landing matching symbols on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel. With 5 rows, there are multiple potential winning combinations on every spin. The core features are all about building momentum: Increasing Multipliers & Respins: The base game has a great respin feature. From what I experienced, winning symbols can trigger respins where they stick, allowing for consecutive wins and increasing multipliers. It creates a real sense of progression even before the bonus round. Free Spins Feature: Land 3 or more Scatter symbols to trigger 8 Free Spins. This is where the game gets really strategic:
This "collect" mechanic during free spins is fantastic. You have to balance going for the big wins to double your multiplier with securing more respins to keep the round going. I had a round where I managed to double my multiplier a few times, and the payout was massive. TL;DR: Theme: A dark fantasy sequel to the Hansel and Gretel story. Grid: Unique 3-reel, 5-row setup with Ways to Win. Key Features: Sticky win respins with increasing multipliers in the base game. Bonus: 8 Free Spins with a collectible system: get respins from low-pay symbols and double your multiplier from high-pay symbols.
If you enjoy slots with a strong narrative and strategic bonus rounds where your choices matter (like in some Play'n GO adventures), you need to check this out. It’s a refreshing take on a classic.
