Expanding Reels
Alice's Mad Fortune is a 3x5, 10-line video slot that unfolds a base game filled with expanding wilds, wild bonus scatters, an adventure re-spin bonus, and various buy bonus options. The actual payout is the sum of dynamic paytable values corresponding to each won line, and simultaneous or coinciding wins are combined. Gameplays are based on the Total Bet.
In the base game, the Alice symbol serves as an expanding wild. When it lands on the reel and has the potential to create wins, the Alice symbol immediately expands to fill the entire reel. Alice substitutes for all symbols except the Bonus Symbol and special bonus symbol characters, expanding only when contributing to a player win.
The Cheshire Cat, during the base game, substitutes for all symbols except the Bonus Symbol and special bonus symbol characters. When a win involves the Cheshire Cat, it awards a random multiplier of 2x or 3x. If multiple Cheshire Cats contribute to a winning line, their random multipliers are summed.
In the base game, the Silver White Rabbit, Hatter, and Caterpillar bonus symbols act as wilds, substituting for all symbols except the Cheshire Cat.
Triggering the re-spins adventure bonus requires 3 Bonus symbols on the screen, leaving all scatters on the board for adventure re-spins. The Hatter, Caterpillar, and Silver White Rabbit Feature Bonus symbols also substitute for Bonus symbols. When triggered, the Bonus Symbol transforms into regular card symbols with win multipliers ranging from 1x to 10x. Character bonus symbols convert to win multipliers from 1x to 10x and execute their features after the first spin of the bonus. "Win multipliers" in the bonus denote win amounts displayed as multiples of the base game bet, offering an engaging bonus experience. For instance, if the bonus triggers at a base bet of 2, a symbol converting to a win multiplier of x4 would represent a win amount of 8 for that symbol.
When four symbols of the same kind stack on a reel, they expand into a Monster Reel after line wins are settled. Each Monster Reel showcases a character from one of the four high-paying symbols, granting a unique extra prize after expansion. These prizes are tied to your current bet level and stand apart from regular line wins.
Should five Monster Reels of the same kind appear simultaneously, they transform into a Monster Takeover, engulfing all five reels. During this event, Monster Reels do not pay individual extra prizes, and no regular line wins are awarded.
Activate the bonus by landing three FS scatter symbols simultaneously in the base game, unlocking 10 free spins. This bonus game boasts superior odds compared to the base game for triggering the expansion of Monster Reels by landing four stacked symbols of the same kind on a reel.
Trigger the bonus with four FS scatter symbols simultaneously in the base game, securing 10 free spins. At the bonus's commencement, one of the four high-paying symbols is chosen as the main symbol for the feature. Only the selected main symbol can expand into Monster Reels during the bonus.
As a Monster Reel of the chosen symbol expands on a reel, the indicator above the reel activates for the remaining bonus duration. At the conclusion of all remaining spins, Monster Reels expand on all reels with activated indicators. The Upgrade scatter symbol, if landed, upgrades the selected main symbol to the next higher-paying symbol, if applicable. The newly chosen symbol becomes the sole symbol capable of expanding into Monster Reels, and the indicators above each reel also upgrade to match.

Expanding Reels is a casino game mechanic that is often found in online slot machines and video slot games. It is a feature that allows the reels to expand and increase the number of symbols on the screen, potentially leading to more winning combinations.
When a player hits a certain combination of symbols or triggers a bonus round, the reels will expand to add more symbols, increasing the number of ways to win. The expanded reels can also add new symbols to the game, such as wilds or multipliers, increasing the chances of hitting winning combinations. Some games also feature special symbols that can trigger the expanding reels, such as scatter symbols or special bonus symbols.
This game mechanic can add an extra layer of excitement to the game by introducing a new way to form winning combinations. It also allows for more flexibility in terms of where the symbols can appear on the reels, which can make it easier for players to hit winning combinations. Expanding reels can be a great way to increase the chances of hitting big payouts and adding an extra layer of excitement to the game.
