Rabbit in the Hat Slot

Rabbit in the Hat is a slot that is published by Microgaming. The theme of this slot is well known and mostly related to magician and their classic trick to pull a rabbit out of the hat. This slot has 5 reels and 9 payline combinations and the minimum bet is 0.09$. I gave this slot a chance with only 16$ in my balance and that is why I took that minimum bet and hoped I could hit something good.

As I kept spinning I saw that there were some hats above the reels and I soon realized that they were the features that I could get if a wild symbol land on a reel that they are above of. In the main game these hats with features randomly appear on reel 5 and slowly move to reel 1 until they disappear or they are triggered by a wild symbol. We have hats, for Wild reel that can expand and turn up to 3 reels wild, for 10 FS, random cash prizes and random awards.

After a really tough beginning and a lot of empty spin I finally managed to hit one of these features on reel 2 and it was the Wild reel features which expanded into 2 wild and granted me a win of 4.25$. The idea behind these features sounds and looks pretty easy and simple but I am telling it is not, or it was not at least for me, since I had some serious difficulties triggering them. I mostly triggered Cash prizes that didn't give much around 0.27$. And In almost 1 hour of playing I triggered only once the free spin feature that granted me only 5.25$ but in the FS feature there is always one hat above the reel, so it is possible to get a really good payout from this game although it is really really hard.

Overall this is not a bad slot to play and it is amusing and fun but it needs a lot of tenacity and persistent to get that one good hit, a little bit similar to DOA.

“Rabbit in the Hat” is the last slot released by Microgaming. Yes the slot idea is good and surprising, but it was possible for this slot to be even better. When compared with the Microgaming slots from the last two ot three months, “Rabbit in the Hat” is indeed a very good game.

At the beginning this slot is not extraordinary. How can be great a slot with only 9 paylines, with a small bet of 9 cents, where in the first 15-20 spins nothing extraordinary happens. Perhaps 2-3 wins offered by 3 same symbols. I was even getting bored, when here it was the surprise: a hat with a rabbit in it appeared I do not know from where on the top of 5 reel and began to jump step by step towards reel 1. On this jumping hat it was written “cash” and when it got above the reel 3 it happened to be a wild on that reel. And great miracle: the rabbit came off the hat and the wild on that reel (where the hat of the rabbit fell) gave me a payout. And the surprises continued. Different hats appeared over the reels, either with Free Spins, either with a Reel Wild, either with cash, and even with a question mark on them. In the first 150 spins the hats that were jumping did not really fit with the wilds from the reels. And I was saying myself, for what good these hats that do not give me anything. At one point I even had 4 hats jumping simultaneously on top of the slot and still nothing ...

And then again a wonder: one of the hats with Free Spins matched with a Wild on a reel and I entered the Free Games. And suddenly from nowhere on all 5 reels they appeared hats. And when one hat was disappearing it was replaced with another new one by the magician that was so generous! In 10 Free Games I had about 7 wins! And the wins continued also in normal games. I entered in Free Games 2-3 times and once I won from Free Games even something extra. Well, now after about 400 games I am at loss with just 3 Euro and the game continues to play as pleasant.

The slot is pretty good, and deserves to be played especially because it requires for this only a few Euros.

Those hats containing Reels Wild are for no good. Even if you match the Wild hat (very rare) with the Wild on the reel, that reel (when achieved) will not help at all.

One of the newest games from the company "Microgaming" is the slot "Rabbit in the Hat", available since last April 8 for users of casinos that use this provider. The theme, as its name suggests, is inspired by the classic trick to pull out objects from a hat that is part of the routine of many magicians. Design is visually pleasing and the game itself is pretty fun. Despite all these, this slot seems to have not started on the right foot because in several major forums and websites dedicated to discuss issues related to gambling, there are comments of players that have received free spins, played in real or for fun and agree that rates stipulated on the paytable are somewhat tight to be a video slot that only has 9 paylines, which means that hit average is certainly less than in a slot with 15 or more paylines, average additionally affected by the lack of an usual feature in this type of slot that consists in paying also lines formed from right to left, and maybe you could also say that 12 are many standard symbols for these kind of slots and certainly this could also contribute to the low winning average of this video slot.

One of the most interesting aspects of "Rabbit In The Hat" is the system to trigger special features, which incidentally bears some resemblance to the system used on the slot "Eggomatic" from NetEnt, and which consists on hats moving from right to left above the reels, one step per reel, which can contain four types of awards namely: free spins, wild reel, cash, and mystery prize, which often results also in a wild reel. To trigger the feature, you need a hat matches with the appearance of a wild symbol on reel just below it. The most common feature is "cash" which in most cases contain small prizes, but once I got a reward equivalent to 100x my total bet, it was great. The most valuable feature, in my opinion, is the free spins round, and the reason is because during this round, more hats appear sliding above the reels, which means of course a better chance for more prizes.

I think this game is still quite young, and its degree of final acceptance will probably be determined by the end of this year.
