Rabbit in the Hat 2 (Slingshot Studios) – Review & Demo Play

The Rabbit in the Hat 2 Slot Game

I took my seat in a theatre where the reels sit on a stage. The magician stands to the right, his assistant to the left, both animated. A jaunty, retro score backs each spin. Rabbit in the Hat 2 uses 5 reels, 3 rows, and 20 paylines. Stakes range from EUR 0.20 to EUR 40. It runs well on mobile and desktop. The show revolves around hats above the reels, wilds, jackpots, free spins, Upsizer, and an optional Buy feature.

Symbols and Payouts in Rabbit in the Hat 2

There are 12 regular symbols. Wins pay left to right on adjacent reels across the 20 fixed lines. The paytable values reflect your total bet. The low pays are 9 to A card royals, worth about 0.4x to 2x for five of a kind. High pays are the Deck of Cards, Magic Wand, Locked Box, Treasure Chest, the Female Assistant, and the Magician, topping out at 10x for five. It is a clean ladder that reads well when the pace picks up.

Wild Hats stand in for regular symbols and can form wins of their own, paying 4x to 50x for 3 or more on a line. The Bull's Eye Scatter is the key to bonuses. Four or five Scatters pay 40x or 50x anywhere, and three or more launch free spins. Line wins start from the first reel, so I kept an eye on stacked highs for those neat 5-of-a-kind hits when the wilds line up.

Rabbit in the Hat 2 Slot Bonus Features

In the base game, one to five hats can appear above the reels at random. Land a wild under a hat and you take its prize, with more than one prize possible on the same spin. Hats hop one reel left each round and drop off if they reach reel 1 unclaimed. The five types are Extra Scatter Hat, Wild Multiplier Hat with 2x, 3x, or 5x, Wild Reel Hat, Walking Wild Reel Hat, and the Collection Prize Hat for jackpot letters.

Prize Letters build towards MINI, MINOR, MAJOR, and GRAND. Complete a word to land 15x, 50x, 250x, or 2,500x the bet. In the base game you can also get a random Major or Grand spin when you have all letters. MINI and MINOR can drop in both phases, and letters picked up in free spins carry back to the base game. I liked how letters are stored per bet, which lets you chase a word without giving up other setups.

Hit three or more Scatters and free spins begin with a hat atop every reel, plus a fresh hat above reel 5 on each spin. A Feature Wheel then grants one of four modes: 20 spins in Collection Prize, or 10 spins in Walking Wild Reels, Wild Reels, or Wild Multipliers. After the wheel, Upsizer lets you pay to step up to a pricier mode. When the round ends, Bonus Recharge can sell you one extra spin. Or jump straight in via Buy Bonus for 50x bet.

How to Win at Rabbit in the Hat 2 Slot

Like most slots, you spin the 5x3 grid and hope the setup lands. I set stakes that matched my bankroll, then used the 20 fixed lines to hunt stacked highs and wild lines from reel 1. Autoplay handles batches of spins, though I prefer manual when hats stack on the right. The three-line menu opens Settings and the paytable. I tend to wait for several hats to queue, as a single wild can sweep multiple prizes in one go.

Rabbit in the Hat 2 Slot RTP & Volatility

Stats line up with a high volatility model and a 96.08% RTP. Hit frequency sits near 27.67%, so wins pop up now and then, while weight sits in features. Max win reaches 5,000x the bet, with bigger swings during Collection Prize or when Walking Wild Reels chain across. I treat it as a streaky showpiece that can feel dry between bursts, which suits me when I am chasing letters or a stacked wild reel.

The Final Thoughts on Rabbit in the Hat 2

A decade on from the original, this follow-up keeps the stage magic intact and adds quality-of-life bits like Upsizer and Bonus Recharge. The theatre vibe, the animated pair, and that jaunty score give it charm. The Hat Feature ties the whole show together, and in free spins the screen fills with chances. I had my best runs when a Walking Wild Reel met multipliers, with letters ticking up on the side to tease a prize.

I do have a gripe. The 5,000x ceiling feels a touch light for a high model. That said, the letter prizes at 15x, 50x, 250x, and 2,500x keep you engaged between streaks, and stored progress per bet is fair. I will keep this one in rotation when I want upbeat theatre slots with layered features and a clean paytable that does not need babysitting.
