Court of Hearts – Rabbit Hole Riches

Court of Hearts – Rabbit Hole Riches

You are cordially invited to a magical yet surreal trip to Wonderland in the latest Play’n GO offering, aptly titled Court of Hearts.

Build across 5 reels, 3 rows and 10 paylines, this game features cascading reels and famous characters from Lewis Carroll’s tale.

Court of Hearts follows the Rabbit Hole Riches slot game, which though both are based on the same theme and location, have very little in common. This time around, there have been many changes, including mathematical alterations and max win increases, making this slot game a highly volatile one yet slightly more complex.

The game comes with a story to tell to give it some extra personality. The story goes that the Jack of Hearts is being put on trial for some deed he has not committed. Jack begs the Queen who is in a foul mood but to no avail. The Queen might be a malevolent figure, but in this game, she is on your side.

On the reels, you’ll see the caterpillar, a Cheshire cat and a dormouse. The most valuable symbol is the Queen of Hearts, which can pay you between 5 and 20x your stake if you land between 3 and 5 of a kind on a payline. She also plays some other pivotal roles in this game, which we shall delve into in a bit.

As a highly volatile game, Court of Hearts comes with a 96.27%, which is higher than the industry average of 96%.

Court of Hearts free spins

To trigger the free spins round, you need to land three, four or five scatters on the same spin. You will also gain a 5, 10 or 15x your total bet respectively, before kicking off your 9 free spins.

For the duration of this round, the Queen of Hearts acts as a wild. Every time you hit a winning combination the multiplier increases by an additional 1x. If you do not succeed in hitting a win during the free spins, it does not reset the multiplier, essentially increasing only when you hit a winning combo.

Landing a scatter during this round adds an extra free spin to the total.

Court of Hearts bonus features

The cascading reels feature is always welcome, especially when it comes with numerous reel modifiers and a free spins bonus round with progressive multipliers.

The cascades can be triggered after every consecutive win during any time of play. There are three modifiers that can be activated whenever the Rabbit Hole symbol crops up, essentially rewarding the player with one of the following:

Cheshire Cat Feature

The Cheshire Cat acts as a wild to cover for all positions on the reels and triggering a cascade. The reel wild then moves to a different position, as long as winning combinations are created.

Caterpillar Feature

The Caterpillar transforms between three and seven symbols into wild.

Dormouse Feature

The Dormouse is a giant wild symbol that grows exponentially and randomly up to 4×3.

Free Spins Feature

As already highlighted, landing three scatters awards you with 9 free spins plus a 5x pay-out. To boost your free spins experience, the Rabbit Reward feature may occasionally add two scatters onto the reels before a spin.

During the round, the Queen of Hearts also transforms into a wild, substituting for any other symbols except for scatters, in a bid to creating winning combinations. Landing additionally scatters during this round adds an extra free spin to the tally.

All wins increase the multiplier by 1x.

Verdict

Play’n GO has once again brought together excellent graphics together with solid gaming features. This is the second new game released this week by Play ’n GO.

However, it is the art team’s creative juices that were clearly flowing during the creation of this game. Not only is it visually and graphically a beautiful game, but together with its wacky sound effects and sounds, they make this game as surreal as Lewis Carroll’s tale.

Although a highly volatile slot game, we think this game offers a rather diverse gaming setting, especially when compared to its predecessor. It might not be ideal for low rollers, but the game’s many features and slightly higher payout rates might be a little too tantalising to resist. Bear in mind, that you can win as much as 8,500x your bet, which is nothing to scoff at.

Similarly, the game works a charm on mobile, allowing you to enjoy its full reel setup in its glorious form.

Overall, this slot game might not bring anything new to the table when it comes to features, but it does so with tremendous style and little effort.
