Slot Details

Queen of Wonderland Megaways is a cascading video slot with six reels, up to seven rows and 64 to 117,649 ways to win. Pays are awarded for two to six matching symbols on adjacent reels from left to right only.  You can face the hot-tempered royal from 0.20 to 5 credits per spin (higher limits might be offered at some operators). The game has medium to high variance with an RTP of 96.03% while using the Queen of Hearts Bet to purchase a bonus will increase the value to 96,86%.

Thanks to the licensed Megaways engine, no two spins are the same as the number of ways to win is randomly determined at the start of every spin sequence. The game will randomly select between two and seven pay symbols for each reel, creating anything from 64 to 117,649 win ways. Any win will set off a chain reaction, shattering all winning symbols before new ones tumble into the empty spaces and potentially create more winning combos. The process continues as long as a win occurs after a cascade. All wins are accumulated and paid once a spin sequence ends.

Loading the game will take you to the fantasy wonderland with Salazen Grum, the Red Queen’s castle in the background. The reels set is held on what looks like the gate to the castle with two tower columns flanking the Megaways game engine. Various characters from the novel populate the reels while an enchanted orchestra soundtrack gives it the right fairy tale feel, all to intermittent comments from the queen herself.

The pay symbols start at the low end with artistic card royals from 9 through to A, awarding 0.5x to 1.5x your stake for a single six of a kind. They are followed by the Mad Hatter, the March Hare, the King and the Queen of Hearts. Hit six across the reels to win 2x to 25x your bet. A blue icon marked with the world itself is the wild symbol, appearing on reels two to five only and performing the usual substitution duties. The game has two scatter symbols – a card-style icon with a red heart for the Cash Respins bonus game and a golden lock marked with ‘Bonus’ for the free spins feature. Not missing is the fabled Cheshire Cat, acting as the mystery symbol.

Queen of Wonderland Megaways Slot Features

iSoftBet is making good use of their Megaways licence as there is rarely a month without a new title being announced. And they have been quite creative in adding thrilling features to the gameplay that we did not see on such slots from other providers. On Queen of Wonderland Megaways, which was initially named Queen of Hearts Megaways, they are combining two of the most-liked Megaways features, resulting in a significantly higher win potential.

The Mystery Symbol makes a return too, this time represented by the mischievous Cheshire Cat. As usual, all landing in view in the base game or free spins will reveal a common pay symbol once the dust has settled. However, they cannot turn into bonus or wild symbols. Also, watch out for the random Max Megaways modifier, which can activate at the start of any new round and will guarantee a spin with maximum 117,649 Megaways, increasing your chances to trigger the bonus game or hit a big multi-way win.

As you spin along you will observe the occasional card symbol marked with a heart and a coin value appearing on the reels in the base game and free spins. Hit five of them in one sequence and you will enter the Queen of Hearts Cash Respins bonus game. Initially, three Respins are awarded with only cash symbols from 1x to 100x your bet and blanks on the reels. The number of Megaways and all triggering scatters will be locked for the duration of the feature. Any further scatters landing will turn sticky too and reset the Respin counter to three. This continues until you either run our of spins or fill the screen with cash symbols. All are then accumulated and paid before you return to the main game.

Having three golden lock scatters in view anywhere on the reels by the end of a spin sequence will trigger 10 Queens of Heart Free Spins. Any extra scatter will add +5 spins to the tally, up to a maximum of 25. No retriggers are available. The key to scoring big wins in the feature is the unlimited progressive win multiplier. It starts at x1 and will increase by x1 after every winning reaction, no limits.

However, here is the major kicker that will have a significant impact on your visit to Salazen Grum. The Queen of Hearts Cash Respins can be triggered on any free spin when five land in view. Any active multiplier will then be carried into the bonus game, multiplying the total win once the respins end. You will then return to the free spins to complete the feature or on a very lucky day trigger the Cash Respins again.

And still not the end. Should you win in total less than 10x your bet from the free spins, then the Royal Guarantee activates to retrigger once +5 free spins for a chance to achieve a better result.

The Queens of Hearts Bet will let you cut through the chase and proceed straight into the bonus round (restricted in some jurisdictions). It will cost you a one-time amount of 100x your base bet for a spin on the royal wheel with a 50/50 chance to win either the free spins feature or the cash respins bonus game. The rounds are played in the same fashion as the standard features after an organic trigger.

Final Verdict

Queen of Wonderland Megaways turned out to be the opposite of the grumpy royal who hardly ever musters as much as a smile throughout the tale. In contrast, the slot is highly enjoyable and playable with ample features that will keep you well entertained and provide mega win potential that will let you laugh all the way to the bank on a lucky day. Up to 1 million coins or in real money 50,000x bet are up for grabs on your travels to this magical wonderland.
