El Hada Estrella - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

This immersive Spanish two-screen slot is set in the land of fairies, with mischievous pixies overlooking the reels. The game combines a fantasy theme with a classic fruit machine style to produce a fun yet simple gaming experience with a ‘top level’ that adds even more excitement to the game.

The 3x3 reel grid produces five paylines. All you need to do to win is land three matching symbols along one of these paylines. With every win, you’ll be given the chance to participate in the Gamble Feature, where you can level up your winnings, transform them into ‘bonos’ points, or lose the lot.

To increase your winning chances, when you land two symbols along a payline, these reels will lock and you can choose whether to just spin the third reel or unlock the symbols to play a normal spin.

Land three identical secondary symbols in El Hada Estrella to trigger the mini game, which we’ll look at in more detail later in this El Hada Estrella slot review, and win cash prizes.

If you fancy a change from the base game, you can click ‘Change Game’ to head to the ‘top game’ and play your credits and bonos to win even more and potentially trigger the mini game.

Bonus Features

You can trigger the bonus mini game in El Hada Estrella in the top game by landing three identical secondary symbols (the coral, crystals, or stars) along one of the five active paylines. In this game, three cash values will be selected and hidden somewhere on the reels in treasure chests. Pick a reel to win the amount that was hidden there.

The slot also incorporates locked reels to increase your winning chances. This triggers when two identical symbols land on a payline and causes the reels containing these symbols to lock. You can then choose to simply spin the remaining reel or unlock the reels to spin normally on your next try.

Conclusion

Overall, we really enjoyed El Hada Estrella. We’ve played a number of similar two-screen Spanish slots in the past but particularly liked the fantasy fairy theme used in this game and the fact that it doesn’t cost a fortune in ‘Bonos’ points to progress to the top game. We might have liked to have seen a bonus round with a bit more magic, but it was a rewarding bonus nonetheless.
