The imagery in Adventures beyond Wonderland is based on the classic tale Alice Through the Looking Glass - the A to J playing cards are done in the style of chess pieces. They're joined by a teapot, the Mad Hatter's hat, a bubble pipe, pocket watch and crown. Alice is the game's wild, substituting for everything apart from the Free Spins symbol.
Perched to the right of the reels is a caterpillar who can blow a bonus bubble above reel 4 - the bonuses then float across to the bubbles above reels 3 and 2 on the following spins. Listen out for the rustle of the leaves above as this signals the arrival of Alice who'll fall onto one of the middle 3 reels and turn it wild. If there was a bonus in the bubble that Alice popped during her fall you'll be awarded that prize. This is the Falling Alice feature.
If the bubble contains coins, you'll pocket an instant wish cash bonus. If it's a question mark, all the wins are boosted by a multiplier that can reach up to 10x. If it's the jackpot symbol that's popped, you'll win the big progressive prize.
If Alice pops a bubble containing the magic potion bottle, she will expand to add 2 extra reels, both of which will be wild. With all 7 reels unlocked you'll have 2,187 ways to create a winning combination rather than the standard 243. This is known as the Caterpillar Bonus Bubbles feature.
Adventures beyond Wonderland also comes with a Cheshire Cat Free Games feature - to trigger it, you'll need to land the Cheshire Cat symbol on reels 1, 3 and 5. You'll then be transported to a magical forest where the Cheshire Cat will award you a random number of free spins on a new machine made up of horizontally spinning reels.
Any Cheshire Cats that land are wild and will be locked in place for any free spins that are left. These wilds can expand so they're 3 symbols wide. They will also stretch the size of the reel set allowing you to create bigger winning combinations. The reel set can reach 7 wide here, again offering up to 2,187 ways to win.
There's plenty to get stuck into in this fairy tale adventure - visually, it's superbly well done. The sweeping backing track is a cracker too, conjuring up a real fantasy feel. The features are impressive too, offering a nice range of old favourites alongside some fresh innovations. The Caterpillar Bonus Bubbles feature provides some timely base game boosts especially if you get the 10x multiplier! The free spins are much harder to come by but the expanded wilds and 7 reel set with 2,187 ways to win can make that wait worthwhile.
Fans of Lewis Carroll's surreal children's tales will find plenty to like here. Even if you're unfamiliar with the characters, the combination of fantastic design and exciting features make Adventures beyond Wonderland well worth a spin. If you like Ash Gaming slot games, I recommend you try the volatile Full Moon Fortunes which is their best release in my opinion.
