Alice is back, experiencing strange encounters with the eccentric characters that we all know from her previous adventures. However, this time she’s ventured into the online slots world of Mad Scatters Tea Party, and while you can follow her down the rabbit hole of free spins, multipliers and more. Everyone will also be having run-ins with the personalities from movies and book alike. So what does this high paying wonderland have in store for you?
The tone of the game is perhaps a little more serious than previous adaptations of Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland. Alice is made to look a little brooding, looking more like a character out of Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride, while the Mad Hatter looks like a hipster from a local dive bar. Never-the-less, the animations are very realistic and the graphics good enough to land themselves in a Disney movie. The background to the reels also has a creepy, morbid feel. It’s a dark room with checkered tile flooring and red roses to the left of the pay table.
Speaking of the pay table, it’s made up of 5 reels, 3 rows and 10 paylines. You might feel that this is a conservative number of paylines, however there are definitely winning chances up for grabs. The most you’ll be able to wager is £100.00 per spin. Many players will find this quite a high amount required for winning the maximum jackpot – max bet is needed to win max jackpot – so if you are inclined to bet smaller and grow a kitty by taking the conservative approach then the betting starts at £0.20. The game is available on all devices – desktop, mobile and tablet. It also has an RTP percentage of 95.3%, and what this means is that should you be worried about losses then you can rely on this function to ensure, on average, that you don’t lose more than 4.7% of your total spend.
The symbols are where Mad Scatters Tea Party online slot really shows a bit of creativity. The studio behind the title, Slingo Originals, have kept the symbols completely in line with the theme of the game. You’ll therefore find icons consisting of Alice, the Dormouse, the March Hare and the very bohemian looking Mad Hatter. Of the regular symbols the Mad Hatter is the highest paying with a potential 400x your bet for a 5 of a kind win. There’s also the standard lower paying icons made up of playing card number 10 and the royal cards.
At the beginning of the game you’ll be required to choose a lucky symbol – select from Alice, Dormouse, March Hare and Mad Hatter – which will act as an expanding symbol. There is also a bonus symbol to bring you exciting bonus fun. Last to mention is the wild symbol that will substitute all regular icons and is also the highest paying symbol at 1000x your bet for 5 of a kind wins.
This is where things start getting really exciting. There’s a free spins feature that you can trigger by landing 3 bonus symbols anywhere on the reels. This is where your lucky symbol will come into play. You’ll be directed to 1 of 4 possible free spins features, with the breakdown as follows:
Multiplier stands at 1x – 4x
Multiplier stands at 1x – 6x
Multiplier stands at 1x – 8x
Multiplier stands at 1x – 10x
As you can see with these stats, should you take Alice you’ll get more spins, however down at the Mad Hatter the multipliers are way bigger during the spins.
There are more little bits and bobs to be found in this game, and all of them carry great value. The free spins are a very welcomed feature in the slot and when it is triggered, you’ll find that your kitty really starts to grow. You’ll find yourself playing mostly to trigger the free spins, because once having played them it becomes very evident where most of your coins will be coming from. Mad Scatters Tea Party slot proves a very competent slot, and players will have no issues attending this peculiar party on the reels.
