White Rabbit Megaways Slot – Free Demo

Two to seven symbols a reel

White Rabbit Megaways is a game from the Big Time Gaming production range. This review draws on a session of 370 spins that returned 323.60 on 740.00 wagered, or 43.7%.

When it gets to the layout, White Rabbit Megaways is a fairly standard Big Time Gaming slot, with 5 reels displaying 2 to 7 symbols each and up to 16,807 ways. On each spin the number of symbols on every reel is set at random, and several symbols on one reel multiply the ways. You get a big range of features. In the 370 spins played, the Caterpillar Bonus Wilds and the free spins both turned up. They comprise Wilds, randomly triggered Caterpillar Bonus Wilds, Extending Reels, the Feature Drop and, most crucially, the Down the Rabbit Hole Free Spins feature. The Cupcake that powers the Extending Reels appears only in free spins. You can play White Rabbit Megaways from between 0.10 to 20.00 per spin, and the theoretical RTP here is 97.24%, but it is set to 97.77% with the Feature Drop. The session ran at a stake of 2.00 per spin from a starting balance of 1,000.00.

A Red Queen who pays for two

On the reels you will spot gemstones among the lower-value symbols, and climbing up in the ranking of symbols, the Red Gemstone is the best paying of them, paying 5 times your stake for 5. The Blue and Green Gemstones pay 2 times the stake for 5, and below them A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9 pay between 0.7 and 2 times the stake for 5. The best paying out of all symbols, however, is the Red Queen. She pays from just 2. Two Red Queens return 2 times the stake, three return 5 times and four return 10 times. She will pay a sum of 25 times your stake if you land 5 of her. On spin 291 of the session, five K on 4 ways paid 1.9 times the stake on each way, 15.20 or 7.6 times the stake in total.

The Minty Take: What decided this one for me was 19%: 72 paying spins out of 370 against a stated hit frequency of 27.6%, with two Down the Rabbit Hole rounds supplying 38% of the 323.60 won and the balance closing at 583.60.

Wilds from reel 2 and a Caterpillar at random

When it gets to features, there's no lack of them here, and to start with, there are Wilds. They land on reels 2 to 5 and substitute for pay symbols. Wins are counted on adjacent reels from the leftmost reel, so a Wild helps only when reel 1 already holds a matching pay symbol.

The Caterpillar Bonus Wilds feature may trigger at random on any base game spin, and the Caterpillar adds up to 4 Bonus Wilds, each x2 or x3. On spin 118 of the session, Caterpillar Bonus Wilds were on the reels for a win of 22.00, 11 times the stake. When several are in one win, their multipliers multiply together. Two x3 Bonus Wilds in the same win therefore make a x9 multiplier, and four x3 Bonus Wilds make x81.

Cupcakes short of twelve

It all boils down to the Down the Rabbit Hole Free Spins, despite the action-filled base game. Across the session, the free spins paid 124.00 in total, 38% of everything won. It is triggered when you land the White Rabbit Scatter on reels 2, 3 and 4, beginning with 15 free spins. The feature arrived twice in 370 spins, on spin 70 and again on spin 227, 157 spins later. Each Cupcake is replaced by 2 symbols, so its reel grows 1 taller, up to 12 symbols. In both rounds of the session the Cupcakes extended the reels, but none reached 12 symbols. A reel that reaches 12 symbols awards an extra 3 to 12 free spins, for up to 75 in total, so you can also retrigger the feature. The first round paid 26.00, 13 times the stake, and the second paid 98.00, 49 times the stake.

A fully extended reel becomes a Queen's Reel, with more Red Queens and Wilds, during the Down the Rabbit Hole Free Spins. With every reel at its full 12 symbols, the free spins reach 248,832 ways to win.

72 paying spins out of 370

White Rabbit Megaways is a slot packed with features, and it's also quite volatile. That is 4 out of 6 on the volatility meter. Only 72 of the 370 spins paid, 19% against a hit frequency of 27.6%, and the longest run without a win lasted 22 spins. With a few notable attractions, it's the Down the Rabbit Hole Free Spins that sticks out the most.
