The Mad Hatters slots game from Microgaming is quite mad. I am not joking. There are three little men running round in brightly colored clothing at a tea party. This is very much a takeoff of the Mad Tea Party from Alice and Wonderland—except that there are more desserts than tea accessories. So perhaps this should be a Mad Dessert Party.
This is a five reel, thirty payline online slots game from Microgaming with lots of bright colors and purple. Lots of purple. There a several dessert offerings that will make you wish you were at this dessert—I am sorry—tea party: Chocolate Cake, Ice Cream Sundaes and Cupcakes to name a few. There is of course a Tea Pot and Tea Cup, but no little Dormouse or March Hare.
This slots game has a rather intriguing Wild. The Wild is the infamous Mad Top Hat. And, yes, it will substitute for any symbol other than the Bunny and the Cuckoo Clock. But on the third reel—and only on the third reel—it will expand to cover all three rows, allowing for more winning combinations than if it only worked on one row of symbols.
I understand that Cuckoo clocks can be quite annoying, but like everything else when you’re mad, this is backwards too. You will love the Cuckoo Clocks in Mad Hatters. If you land three of them on adjacent reels you will trigger the Cuckoo Clock Bonus. This is simply a pick-a-prize bonus game in which you pick one of the Clocks that triggered the game. The Clock that you pick will reveal your prize.
Landing three Cuckoo Clocks allows you to pick one; four Clocks means two for picking; and five clocks means you can pick three clocks.
Now that Bunny. The Bunny is the Scatter. Landing three of him awards ten free spins; four Bunnies will award twenty five; and five will award fifty. All winnings have a 2x multiplier on them. But the unique feature of these free spins is that you can pick one of the Hatters to work as an extra Wild. So not only will the Mad Top Hat serve as a Wild, but so will your chosen Hatter.
All in all this game is rewarding to play. Its small term payouts can keep you afloat—or at least slow down the losses that come with slots games–while the bonus game and free spins are definitely rewarding. This is an offering from Microgaming that could be played for fun or for some paybacks. And it is enjoyable to play without the bright colors hurting your eyes.
