The 9 Mad Hats slot is an Absolootly Mad Alice-in-Wonderland-themed game by Triple Edge Studios. It will take you on a magical and rather psychedelic journey when you spin on this slot (is that symbol a magic mushroom?)
The slot is a modern twist on Louis Carroll’s famous Victorian tale of the Mad Hatters Tea Party. The Hatter adorns the reels, ready to offer you Epic Strike jackpots, Free Spins, and wilds on any spin. So, get ready for an adventure or two in Wonderland along the way!
Graphics
The game is based on the weird and wonderful world of Wonderland, and the colourful graphics are very whacky. The main symbols on the reels are the Gold Hat, which is the Epic Strike Symbol, the Mushroom Wild and the Cup and Saucers Free Spins symbol. The other symbols are the number 7, and the usual deck of cards, hearts, spades, diamonds, and clubs.
The Hatter sits at the top left of the reels, looking mad and occasionally raising his eyebrows. He looks like a man on a Wombat’s Wavelength.
It has been designed for both desktop and mobile players and looks great on both. You can play it out in demo mode if you want to try it out before playing with real money.
The other symbols are the number 7, a heart, a spade, a diamond, and a clove. There are three different number sevens on the reels a single, double, or triple number 7, and five triples 7’s pay you 37.50x your bet.
In addition, any three 7s, whether single, double, or triple, can form a winning combination. Finally, the wild symbol substitutes for all others on the reels. And for 5 on a pay-line, you get x125 your bet.
9 Mad Hatters Slot Gameplay
The 9 Mad Hats slot is a twenty-pay-line, five-reel, three-row game, with medium volatility.
That puts it in the same variance bracket as games like the Amazing Link Poseidon slot and Cat Wilde and the Pyramids of Dead from Play ‘n GO. Medium volatility means you should theoretically get a more even mix of winning spins amongst the non-winning ones.
To spin the 9 Mad Hats slot minimum bets start at 0.20 coins, and up to a maximum of 60.00 coins. The potential maximum win is 2000x your bet. To land a winning pay-line you need to land combinations of three or more symbols from left to right.
There are three different number sevens on the reels a single, double, or triple number 7, and five triples 7’s pay you x37.50 your bet. In addition, any three 7s, whether single, double, or triple, can form a winning combination. Finally, the wild symbol substitutes for all others on the reels.

Bonus Features
9 Mad Hats slot comes packed with entertaining bonus features.
Epic Strike Feature
You will see the Hatter standing guarding over the epic strike meter at the side of the reels. The Hatter’s Gold Hat Scatter symbols are the Epic Strike Symbols.
Landing between three to nine Gold Hat symbols will award from 1x your bet for three Gold Hat Epic Strike symbols, right up to 2000x your stake for nine Gold Hat Epic Strike symbols on the reels.
Free Spins
Land three Tea Cup Scatter symbols that appear on reels 2, 3, and 4 and you’ll get a spin on the tea-pot-shaped Free Spins Prize Wheel.
The wheel contains several segments, including how many Free Spins you will receive and the multiplier that will be applied to your wins. They range from the highest level of thirty Free Spins with a 3x multiplier to the lowest ten Free Spins with a 2x multiplier.
The Free Spins feature can be re-triggered if you land another three Tea Cup Scatters during your Free Spins round. The initial award of Free spins and Multiplier will be given during any retriggers.
The Epic Strike feature can also reward you with prizes during the Free Spins. However, it will not pay out with the Free Spins multiplier you were awarded but at the price on the Strike Meter.
Summary
We loved trying out the 9 Mad Hats slot machine, it’s Absolutely Nuts! We liked the slightly psychedelic graphics and the Alice in Wonderland theme.
The Epic Strike feature and Prize Wheel keep the game interesting, and the maximum win is also available from the Epic Strike feature, so you don’t need to wait for the Free Spins feature to hit it.
Wombat Score: 4.3/5
We’re Mad for it!
