1 Reel – In Wonderland 2

1 Reel – In Wonderland 2 Slot Review

A chequered path winds through clipped topiary and rose-covered trees towards a pink-turreted castle, all glossy storybook light. Spinomenal have used that gentle Wonderland garden to dress up one of the most stressful decisions in slots: every win you land goes into a bank you don’t own yet, and the only way to cash it out is to destroy your own progress. That’s the argument of this game – the reel barely matters, and the whole thing plays out in the gap between what you’ve banked and what you’d lose.

Three symbols carry progressive prize ladders, and a Wild pushes all three at once. There’s no published RTP figure for this one, so the mechanics have to carry the argument on their own. If the lean format appeals, the studio’s Tiger Charms and Majestic King show a more conventional side of the same catalogue, with 3 Aztec Spells sitting somewhere in between.

Base Game & Features

Each spin turns the reel and lands a single symbol. Land one of the three progressive symbols and that symbol’s win bar steps up a level. That’s the whole engine – no paylines, no matching, just accumulation. Partial symbols show above and below the window, teasing the next result without changing it.

The tension lives in the bank. Every win from the progressive symbols goes into the bank rather than your balance, and the bank only pays out when you press Collect. Collecting clears the bank into your balance but resets all three prize bars to zero.

So the longer you leave it, the more a Reset Bank symbol costs you. The bank amount sits on screen next to the ladder, so the wager you’re making – everything banked against everything climbed – is always in front of you.

Progressive Symbol Wins

Three symbols carry five-step prize ladders, and each rung pays as a multiple of the line bet. The values, from first level to final:

• Rabbit symbol, level one to five: x1, x2, x4, x8, x12
• Guard symbol, level one to five: x3, x8, x15, x30, x100
• Red Queen symbol, level one to five: x10, x30, x80, x150, x250

The gaps between the rungs tell you where the risk sits. The rabbit ladder climbs gently and tops out at x12, so it fills fast and pays small. The Red Queen’s ladder runs from x10 to x250, which means most of its value is parked on the final two rungs.

You can be four levels deep in it and still have almost nothing banked. The guard ladder sits between the two, stepping from x3 to x100 with its value weighted towards the back end as well.

Every step is banked rather than paid. A symbol at its final level stops climbing and switches to direct wins: from that point on, each time it lands, the final-level amount goes straight to your balance instead of into the bank. It can’t be wiped by a reset, and it’s the one form of progress the game lets you lock in.

The Wild counts as landing all three win symbols at once and pushes each of their progress bars up a level, which makes it the most valuable symbol on the reel by a distance. Filling all three bars to their final levels pays the jackpot, and after the jackpot is won it disappears until the prizes reset.

The Collect button is the game’s real decision, and it’s on you every single spin. Press it and the bank transfers to your balance in full, but every prize bar drops back to its starting level. Leave it, and you’re wagering the banked total against the chance of climbing closer to the x250 top rung and the jackpot beyond it.

Each spin therefore asks the same question at a different stake. Early on, the bank is small and resetting it costs little, so you let it ride. Deep into a climb, the same button guards a large bank and three tall ladders, and a single Reset Bank symbol can erase the lot. The special symbols that drive the loop:

• Progressive symbol – steps that symbol’s win bar up a level and banks the new rung’s value
• Wild – steps all three win bars up a level at once
• Reset Bank symbol – zeroes the bank and resets all prize progression
• Collect button – pays the bank to your balance and resets the prize bars
• Full bars – all three bars at final level pays the jackpot

Reset Bank Symbol

The Reset Bank symbol is the game’s punisher. Land it and the bank returns to zero and all prize progression clears with it. There’s no partial mercy – everything banked and everything climbed goes at once, which is why a fat bank makes every spin a small held breath.

It’s worth being clear about the two reset paths, because they look similar and cost different amounts. Collecting resets your progress but pays you the bank first. The Reset Bank symbol resets the same progress and pays nothing at all.

One housekeeping detail matters: you can’t change your bet while the bank isn’t empty. The bet you’re on when the bank starts filling is the bet you finish on, so stake decisions and collect decisions are locked together whether you like it or not.

During a spin the Help, Settings and Collect buttons are disabled too, so there’s no changing your mind mid-turn. The decision has to be made before the reel stops, every time.

Our Honest Verdict

Overall Rating: 7.6/10

This is a game you play with your hand hovering, deciding over and over whether to take the money or let the garden grow. That’s the reason to choose it: no five-reeler asks you anything mid-session, and this one asks every spin. The Wonderland dressing is lovely, and it’s doing more work than it looks – the gentle castle-and-roses scene makes each hard decision feel oddly calm.

Its best trick is honesty. The bank, the rungs and the cost of collecting are all on screen at once, so every choice is made with full information, which is rarer in slots than it should be. The flaw is just as clear: the two lower ladders pay so little that most of the real game is the Red Queen and the jackpot, and a single Reset Bank landing can wipe a long, careful climb in one spin.

It’s for players who enjoy the deciding more than the watching – the patient sort who’d rather steer one reel than ride five. Anyone after big multiplier ceilings will find the x250 top rung small. For the right player, though, this little garden is a genuinely engaging place to sit and think.
