Alice (Play8oy): Wonderland characters and a fixed 25-coin stake

There is more than one slot called Alice across the apps we cover. This one is the Play8oy version, built on Lewis Carroll's 1865 story, which most people also know from the film adaptations.

Who you'll meet on the Alice reels

The symbols show the main characters of Wonderland: the Mad Hatter, the White Rabbit, the Cheshire Cat and Alice herself. The old notes credit the software to a studio written as "Bee Fee", which we can't confirm, so check the game's own info screen if the provider matters to you.

How the Alice bet works

This is the part worth understanding before you spin. You don't pick a number of paylines. Instead you choose a coin value, anywhere from 0.01 to 2.00, and the game multiplies it by 25 to set your total bet.

That gives a spin cost of:

• 0.25 at the smallest coin (0.01 x 25)
• 50.00 at the largest coin (2.00 x 25)

Because the 25x is fixed, every step up in coin value moves your spin cost by 25 times as much. Going from 0.10 to 0.20 doesn't sound like much, but it takes you from 2.50 to 5.00 a spin.

Picking a stake for Alice

The range suits both small, casual sessions and larger bets. A simple way to choose: decide what you are comfortable losing in a session, divide by the number of spins you want, and pick the coin value closest to that figure divided by 25. Then leave it there, and don't chase losses by stepping the coin up.

You can play Alice on Play8oy once you are set up. If you still need the app, the Play8oy install guide covers it.
