Cheshire Cat

The book itself is something we all know, even if we haven’t read it. The Disney movies are something we’ve all seen, and despite Alice being the main character, it's the Cheshire Cat that is the most recognizable character. In this WMS game you’re gonna see a lot of him, and yes, the smile is there as well. Prepare for the journey down the rabbit hole in this slot themed after the classic tale.

Theme

Alice in the Wonderland is a modern classic that no longer holds copyrights, so it is no surprise the theme has made its way into quite a few different slot games. You can find all the familiar characters on the reels from Alice to the rabbit to the cat himself. Music and audio effects are a bit lame, mostly consisting of a mix of classical music and wonky sounds. The game seems a bit aged and it lacks animations for the most part.

Betting Options and Functions

There are a total of forty fixed paylines running through the five times four reel setup. This works out to produce medium-high volatility. Betting is done by simply changing your desired line bet, which can run from 0.01 to 2.5 coins per line. There are no extremely cheap spins here, but then extremely cheap spins never result in extreme wins.

The overall payouts seem a tad bit low. The playing cards, which by the way fit the theme for once, offer returns between two and twelve times your line bet. A single three or five symbol combo, therefore, is never enough to even pay back the total bet. The themed symbol go all the way to 40 times the line bet, with the cat himself paying 50 times the bet. The maximum win comes from the titular symbol, which pays up to 500 times the line bet.

Features

The good news is that any feature where you win less than 10 times the total bet will automatically be increased to ten times the total bet.

The free spins are obviously the special feature where the real wins of this slot are concentrated in. The feature starts when three or more scatters land on the reels. With three scatters you receive five free spins. With four you get five more spins, plus an immediate prize of ten times your total bet. Five symbols guarantee 20 spins and 50 times your total bet.

During the spins, one symbol is selected at random as a mystery symbol. Multiple instances of this symbol are then added to the reel, making it easier to land big wins. Furthermore, the bonus wheel is spun before the spins start. This can add extra wild reels as well as extra arrays of reels. The latter means that instead of spinning on one set of reels you can have up to three of them, which means three times the wins.

Our Take

This game is a bit aged and doesn’t offer much in the way of added entertainment. The basic wins are quite minuscule, which means that all the real fun is to be had during free spins. If you do manage to land those bonus symbols it will definitely be worth it, as the different modifiers raise the basic wins to a whole new level. Thousands to be had, easily!
