Mad Hatters Slot
So, now then! It’s time to discuss one of the most popular of Microgaming video slots, if not the most popular one.
Mad Hatters, as per the stats made available by Microgaming itself, dished out over $6 million in winnings in the holiday season of 2015, a pretty impressive feat, even by high Microgaming standards. What is it, then, that attracts thousands of slot lovers from around the world to a seemingly childish slot-spinner of a game where NOTHING makes sense?
Cupcakes and coffees? We don’t think so.
Ticking clocks and pastries? Surely not!
The overused and undervalued theme of ‘Alice in Wonderland’? Not a chance!
$50,000 jackpot with fair odds AND an exciting tea party? There’s our winner!
Go Ask, Alice!
Alice In Wonderland is a timeless classic fantasy story that we feel no need whatsoever to reintroduce to our (surely) well-read readers. From school courses to midnight mindful wanderings of hippies, the story and its characters have served a whole gamut of purposes that Lewis Carroll would never have thought of even in his wildest of imaginations (i.e. the story itself!).
The overall recipe of this hit slot is not too unlike many other Microgaming games. After all, a bunch of fixed paylines and 5 reels have rather become too mainstream to generate even a shred of excitement anymore among enthusiasts. But everything said and done, there’s no denying that Mad Hatters holds as much sway in video slot arena today, as it did about three years ago.
The major reason for this, from what we have experienced, is the ability of the game to keep you entertained, regardless of the favour in which spinning reels cast their votes.
If you still don’t get answers to your questions, we can only advise you to go ask Alice!
What It Looks Like
Absolutely stunning, is what it looks like!
The theme is purple and red, and every mad hatter is in this world and the one below is invited. If you care enough to join, we can assure that you will end up having the happiest hour (by considerate estimates) of your day in the company of Wonderlanders. And, what’s even better, if the luck is on your side, you could return to your worldly abode a good deal richer.
If that doesn’t appeal for you to disappear down the rabbit hole, we seriously don’t know what can!
What It Pays Like
Quite handsomely!
For a moment, albeit reluctantly, let’s drop our Wonderland garb and think sensibly. The highest possible slots reward multiplier, as advertised by Microgaming, is x10,000 for this slot. Considering the $5 bet limit per line, this comes to a maximum of $50,000 which is – even in theory and thoughts – quite higher than what most slots have their upper caps set at.
But come to think of it, this may just be a tad too slim a chance to hope for. To get to this jackpot, you will need 5-of-a-kind wilds, on a minimum of 3 paylines, in a single spin. But even that may not be enough, as the double-or-nothing free spin round will be required to raise your bounty up to $50,000.
Having said that, players have nothing to get discouraged about. The game is all fairly set, and an average payout of x20 to x30 is very commonly observed. Not bad at all, we say!
Madcap Laughs And The World Watches
That’s how it has to be if you pack some insane luck before setting the reels in motion!
At 5 reels with 3 rows and 30 fixed paylines, the gameplay offers enough combinations to help you salvage at least your pride without losing too much of coins.
Regular symbols are all references to the fantasyland of Alice, with wizards, flying brooms, magical teacups and bunny rabbits making dutiful appearances.
Bonuses Of The Fantastic Kind
The wild symbol – there’s only one – in this slot is the red madcap of the great Oz himself. Get five of them in a row and you stand to proceed to a bonus round of assured jackpot. Five wilds on row three trigger an epidemic of wilds, with all but special symbols getting usurped by the madcap.
The scatter symbol is a ticking cuckoo clock that can help you win x2 multipliers and up to 50 free spins with great regularity.
Because of its standardized gameplay, some aspects of Mad Hatters do get lost in the generality of it all. Also, we would have been even more effusive in our praise for it, had the paylines been flexible.
Apart from these points, there’s really nothing that we would have liked changed about Mad Hatters. It’s high time you put a madcap on, just like us!
