Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters Introduction
Hansel and Gretel-Witch Hunters is an exciting free online pokies game from iSoftbet, available at Online Pokies 4U. It’s flash-compatible, 3D and fun.
A Dark, Dark Fairytale
You may remember Hansel and Gretel from the Brothers Grimm fairytale - the one where the two children overpower a witch who plans to eat them, shove her into her own oven and then eat her cottage (well, it was made of gingerbread). In this pokie, the two kids are all grown up and have taken to hunting witches full-time.
It’s based on the film of the same name, and the film’s stars - Gemma Arterton, Jeremy Renner and the fabulously evil Famke Jansson - all make an appearance.
Burn the Witch
Or shoot her with a crossbow. Hansel and Gretel are armed to the teeth and out to get the bounty money on a coven of witches led by the evil Muriel. Along the way they encounter Edward, the Sympathetic Troll, who will do his best to help.
Magical Gameplay
This is a five-reel, ten-payline pokie. You can choose the amount you bet, but you must play all ten lines on every spin. Hansel and Gretel are all or nothing types, you see. If you’re feeling a little nervous, you can place the minimum bet of one coin, or you can throw caution to the winds and bet 10 coins per line. Hit Spin and away you go.
Hunting that Bounty
Hansel and Gretel-Witch Hunters is a fairly straightforward pokie which, given that you must play all ten lines, gives you plenty of chances to win. The prizes start quite small, but they build up nicely. The lower-paying symbols are all playing-card symbols, and you need to get from two to five of these on a payline.
The rewards start at 5x your bet, and rise to 3,000x your initial stake - and because you have to play all ten lines, it’s very, very possible to get more than one prize per spin.
A Troll? On the Internet?
Usually, a troll is the last thing you need online - or anywhere else, for that matter. Here, however, the troll’s name is Edward, he’s sympathetic and he’s Wild. In other words, when he appears on a reel, he can substitute for any of the other symbols, helping you to get bigger and better prizes. If he lands in the very centre, he expands on to other reels, giving you yet more chances to win.
Scattered Shots
The other symbol you’ll want to look out for is the Crossbow. A favourite weapon for dealing with witches, apparently, it can come in useful in the game as well. If three or more appear on your reels, you can win from 1,000 to 10,000 coins - and you will also get fifteen free spins. That bounty just increases!
Which Witch?
Finally, you need to keep an eye out for the wicked witches. Some of them are worth more than others, and Muriel herself is worth up to 10,000 coins, depending on how many times her symbol shows up. The Red-Haired Witch will also net you a nice amount if you manage to track her down, and even the lower-paying witches will start to fill your treasure chests.
