Adventures Beyond Wonderland Slot by Playtech

The reels grow sideways here. You start on five reels paying 243 ways, and the board pushes out to a sixth reel for 729 ways, then a seventh for 2,187. Widening the reels is what the whole game is built around, and nearly every feature exists to make it happen.

Alice is the wild, and she does it directly. Falling Alice drops onto the board and lands as a stack of wilds. The Caterpillar handles the rest, perched on his mushroom to the right and floating bonus bubbles above the reels. Each bubble holds one of four things: a coin with a straight cash prize, a potion that adds extra wild reels and stretches the ways count wider, a multiplier marked "x?" worth up to 10x, or a jackpot bubble. That 10x multiplier is the one you're really after, since catching it on a decent win is how the top payouts happen.

Three or more Cheshire Cat symbols, the grinning teal cat, start the free games. Here the wilds spread across the reels instead of falling, again forcing the board wider toward the full 2,187 ways. The jackpot bubble feeds a progressive, but the plate up top reads "not active" in the free demo, so that one only pays in real-money play.

The Wonderland dressing is all present: a crown at the top of the paytable, a pocket watch, a hookah bottle, the Mad Hatter's green top hat and a pink floral teapot, with gold and red card royals beneath them, set against an autumn-leaved tree and a chess-piece castle drifting in a blue sky. It's an older Ash Gaming title and it shows, both in the slightly dated 3D renders and in a return that sits a notch below what a newer storybook slot tends to give back. No buy feature, no ante bet.
