Big Time Gaming Releases White Rabbit 2 with Hold & Spin and Megapots

After eight years, Australian slot developer Big Time Gaming revisits its psychedelic hit White Rabbit 2, released in 2017. The sequel features the original’s Expanded Reels mechanic during free spins while adding elements like a Hold and Spin round and Megapot prizes.

The Lewis Carroll-inspired fantasy world returns with familiar characters now upgraded to modifiers in the bonus round. The visuals are consistent with the first slot’s colorful mushroom-themed Wonderland.

Core Mechanics

White Rabbit 2 operates on a five-reel grid, awarding wins when matching symbols align consecutively from the leftmost reel. Base gameplay features reels up to 7 tiles tall, allowing up to 16,807 ways to win. The reels can expand to 12 positions with up to 248,832 ways to win during free spins. Bets range from $0.20 to $20 in this high volatility title. The offered RTP of 96.36% is slightly lower than its predecessor’s benchmark of 97.72%.

Low-tier symbols include the card royals 9 to A, rewarding 0.6x-1.5x the stake for five-of-a-kind combinations, while gemstones yield 2x-5x payouts. A wild symbol lands on the second to fifth reels, substituting for all characters except Coins, Cupcakes, and scatters, adding depth to the game’s cascading win system.

Hold & Spin Dynamics

White Rabbit 2 elevates its predecessor’s legacy with a Hold & Spin feature, triggered by six or more Coin symbols. This bonus grants three initial respins that reset each time a new coin lands. The symbols unveil three possibilities: Bonus prizes from 1.5x to 6x the stake based on the number of icons per reel, character modifiers, or Megapot icons. A grid covered with Coins doubles all accrued bonus prizes.

Seven Wonderland characters are also included and unleash unique effects:

• White Rabbit multiplies a single prize by up to 10x
• Alice and the Red Queen gain the value of all prizes
• The Cheshire cat adds up to 5x the stake to all prizes
• Dodo claims winnings on specific reels
• Mad Hatter replicates one random prize
• The twins deliver double payouts of up to 20x each

More Features

White Rabbit 2 features free spins that activate exclusively through base game scatters. It awards 12, 16, or 20 spins for 3, 4, or 5 scatters, respectively. The reels expand to 12 positions with cupcake symbols. Reaching the maximum reel height awards 3-12 additional spins.

Megapots offer three progressive jackpots: Mini (100-300x), Midi (1,000-8,000x), and Mega (20,888-88,888x). They can only be claimed during the Hold & Spin bonus. The Bonus Buy feature allows players to bypass feature triggers for 35-100x the stake.
