Fairytale Legends: how NetEnt changed the story bonus
NetEnt launched the Fairytale Legends series with Fairytale Legends Red Riding Hood in 2016, fixing the line around familiar storybook characters and bonuses tied to scenes from each tale. The 5x3 original uses 20 paylines, medium volatility, a feature map, a bonus wheel, pick objects, free spins, multipliers and respin wilds.
Ranked by Slot Score
| Game | Year | RTP | Volatility | Slot Score |

 Fairytale Legends Hansel and GretelLatestNetEnt | 2017 | 96.71% | Medium volatility | 72 |
Fairytale Legends Hansel and Gretel followed in 2017 with the same 5x3 footprint but only 10 paylines. Wins can form in both directions, while sticky wilds and respins replace much of the first game's map-and-wheel structure. Free spins and a pick bonus remain, preserving the story-led feature approach.
The change is one of pacing rather than volatility: both entries carry a medium label, but Red Riding Hood spreads its action across several bonus devices, whereas Hansel and Gretel concentrates more value in bidirectional line wins and persistent wild behavior. That makes the first game the broader bonus showcase and the sequel the tighter reel-focused interpretation.
