Alice in Adventureland Slot Review
Alice in Adventureland from Fantasma Games is the latest from the provider, and this time we’re heading down the rabbit hole into the fantasy world of Alice in Wonderland once more.
Fantasma Games has a brilliant imagination, which really shines through in their slots. Alice in Adventureland is based on the popular classic children’s book, Alice in Wonderland, but it’s not quite the same as you remember.
Fantasma Games has given Alice a bit of a makeover with dyed hair in a bob and eyebrows to match. The best upgrade has to be the Cheshire Cat or ‘RocketKat’, which plays a huge part in the base game. The once child-friendly ‘Wonderland’ has been transformed into an adult-only Adventureland where Fantasma Games has run wild with their imagination. We love what Fantasma Games has done with the theme, but what can we expect to see in gameplay?
There is plenty of action to be had in Alice in Adventureland, with RocketKat symbols that have the power to transform other symbols into Wilds and a Free Spins round with an exciting Ultra Bomb, which can drop in even more winning action.
Will Alice in Adventureland leave us mesmerised in more ways than one? Let’s play on and find out!

Alice in Adventureland has a variety of betting options for players to choose from. For those who prefer a lower stake, the minimum bet available is £/€0.20 per spin. For those who prefer a higher stake, the maximum bet available here is £/€80 per spin, with plenty of other options in between.

Base Game and Features
Alice in Adventureland is a 5-reel slot with 20 fixed paylines. To form a win, you will need to connect 3 or more of the same symbols from left to right, starting from the left-most reel.
Fantasma Gaming are a very adept provider at giving players lots of exciting features to look forward to, and Alice in Adventureland is no different.
RocketKat Feature
RocketKat symbols are Wilds that can appear on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 in both the Base Game and Adventure Free Spins. Landing RocketKat symbols on more than one reel triggers the RocketKat feature.
Once the RocketKat feature is active, each RocketKat symbol rolls to the left of the reels, upgrading a certain number of high or low-paying symbols to Wilds. If the RocketKat symbol rolls over a Wild symbol, it will be upgraded to a x2 Multiplier Wild. If the RocketKat symbol rolls over a x2 Multiplier Wild, the Multiplier will then increase by +1. The maximum Multiplier that can be awarded to a Wild symbol is x9.
Adventure Free Spins
Landing 3 Scatters in any position on the reels triggers the Adventure Free Spins round, awarding 12 Free Spins.
All Scatter symbols that land in the Free Spins round are collected and stored in a Meter. The Adventure Free Spins round starts at Level 0 and changes state after a certain number of Scatters have been collected.
- Once 4 Scatters have been collected, you will be awarded +4 Free Spins and upgraded to Level 1, where the Ultrabomb feature becomes active.
- Once 9 Scatters have been collected, you will be awarded another +4 Free Spins and upgraded to Level 2, where the RocketKat symbol is guaranteed to upgrade all positions it travels across during the RocketKat feature.
- Once all 15 Scatters have been collected, you will be awarded the Adventure Spin feature, which will play out once all remaining Free Spins are complete.
Ultrabomb Feature
Once you reach Level 1 in the Free Spins round, 1 Ultrabomb will be placed in a random position on reel 1 at the start of each Free Spin.
Activating the Ultrabomb symbol will require a RocketKat symbol to roll over it. Once active, the Ultrabomb will upgrade regular Wilds and Multiplier Wilds in random positions. The amount of upgrades the Ultrabomb will deliver is shown on the Ultrabomb itself.
All activated Ultrabomb symbols will then transform into Wilds once the feature ends.
Adventure Spin Feature
If you manage to fill the entire Meter with the desired amount of Scatters, you will be awarded an Adventure Spin. The Adventure Spin will not begin until all remaining Free Spins are complete.
Once active, between 3 and 12 Ultrabomb symbols and 3 to 7 RocketKat symbols will be randomly placed on the reels at the start of the Adventure Spin.
During this feature, the RocketKat symbol will travel in 1 of 5 possible directions: Up, Up and Left, Left, Down and Left or Down. The RocketKat is guaranteed to upgrade all symbols it rolls across into Wilds.
Bonus Buy
For those outside the UK, you may benefit from a Bonus Buy option.
This can be purchased for a generous 100x your current bet.
The RTP when purchasing Free Spins increases slightly from 96.26% to 96.30%.
Our Verdict
Alice in Adventureland wouldn’t be the first Alice in Wonderland slot to grace our screens. We’ve had what seems like an innumerable number of slots inspired by the fantasy novel, but sadly, there are a fair few stinkers among them.
Alice in Adventureland is far from a disappointing take on a popular story. On the contrary, we rather like Alice in Adventureland. The Base Game has striking moments of excitement with the RocketKat Feature, and the win potential is great because of it.
However, you’ll still undoubtedly yearn for that coveted Free Spins round, which is where things can really kick off. The bonus round is a little bit of a slow burner, but in a good way, as you sit back, collect scatters and enjoy the features that you’ve collected so far, and sit in anticipation for those yet to come.
Reaching all the way isn’t guaranteed, but if you do get there, then you’re guaranteed a breathless moment of anticipation as you sit in wait of what might materialise.
At its best, Alice in Adventureland is capable of a whopping 10,000x, which is a figure well worth jumping down the rabbit hole for.
Overall, if you’ve got a particular fondness for the fantasy world of Alice in Wonderland, then where better to head than to Alice in Adventureland?
