9 Mad Hats Review

We have seen plenty of installments in the scatter jackpot genre since Gameburger’s smash hit, 9 Masks of Fire. Many studios take the time and effort to add something unique to the concept, or at least tweak the math model, but you get none of that in Triple Edge Studios’ 9 Mad Hats.

It’s a pure reskin job of Gameburger’s original release, but the Alice in Wonderland inspired theme admittedly looks kind of cool with its psychedelic vibe. You can land Epic Strike prizes up to 2,000x your stake in all stages of the game, and the bonus round comes with x2 or x3 win multipliers that only affects line wins.

9 Mad Hats Slot Features

The premium symbols consist of 7s of different colors, and they pay between 3.25 and 37.5 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins. The mushroom Wild steps in for pay symbols to help complete wins, and it also pays 6.25, 25 or 125 x your stake for 3, 4 or 5 wilds on a payline, respectively.

The base game is made exciting by the well-known Epic Strike feature, and you need at least 3 Epic Strike golden hat scatters in view anywhere to land an Epic Strike prize as seen on the left-hand side. The prizes range from 1x to 2,000x your stake, and you need 9 epic strike scatters in view to land the top prize.

The Bonus Round triggers from 3 free spins symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4, and these triggering scatters also pay 1x your stake up front. A bonus wheel will then spin to give you a combination of free spins and a win multiplier, and you can get 10, 12, 15 or 20 free spins with an x2 multiplier. The x3 multiplier is reserved for the 25 and 30 free spins segments, and the bonus round can be retriggered with the same amount you got initially.

We landed a decent Epic Strike prize in the base game, before the bonus round triggers at 0:44 into the 3:33-minute highlights video. We got 20 free spins with the x2 win multiplier from the wheel spin, and you can see for yourself how we fared by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

The Alice in Wonderland inspired theme is decently done in 9 Mad Hats, with a manic-looking Mad Hatter dude above the Epic Strike jackpots and a trippy backdrop. The concept is hardly groundbreaking however, and we have seen far more attractive Epic Strike (or other instant jackpot releases) when it comes to the math model.

You can land instant payouts up to 2,000x out of the blue at any stage in the game, which adds a certain tension that never quite goes away. However, keep in mind that the bonus round multiplier does not apply to the Epic Strike prizes. Decent line wins can come from the bonus round, but the win cap is still 2,000x your stake. Overall, a decent addition to the Epic Strike series, but there is hardly anything new to see in this reskin job.

If you enjoy 9 Mad Hats Slot you should also try:

Court of Hearts - is an Alice in Wonderland inspired release from Play’n Go, and it comes with cascading wins and 3 different rabbit hole wild modifiers. You get an uncapped progressive win multiplier in the bonus round, for payouts up to 8,500x your stake.

Elven Gold - is a fantasy-themed installment in the scatter jackpot genre, and this Just For The Win release comes with instant prizes up to 15,000x your stake. The hold and win style bonus round is all about climbing the scatter jackpot ladder, and this is done by collecting sticky scatters.

9 Masks Of Fire - is the original smash hit from Gameburger, that the release at hand is modeled after, and it comes with instant scatter prizes up to 2,000x your stake. You get an x2 or x3 multiplier in the bonus round, and the pyro classic slot installment is still going strong after several years and plenty of competition.
