Most reviews of Push Gaming's Fat Rabbit focus on the growing Rabbit and the farm theme. The specifics are found within the game's rules, so this guide explains the Fat Rabbit slot RTP versions and game rules for Australian players. It details the actual maximum payout, the trigger for each feature, the Bonus Buy price, and the process for when the game faults or a round stalls.
First, the Australian situation. The Interactive Gambling Act 2001 means online slots and other online casino games cannot be lawfully offered to people physically located in Australia. This applies to offshore and Australian providers, and such games cannot be advertised in Australia.
The basics
Push Gaming describes Fat Rabbit as a 5×5 slot featuring 50 paylines and high volatility. At least one review mentions a 5×3 layout, but this is incorrect. The 5×5 figure is provided by the provider, and the in-game rules also specify five reels containing five symbols each.
RTP versions
| Version | RTP |
|---|---|
| Standard | 96.45% |
| Lower version | 94.15% |
| Bonus Buy (captured rules) | 96.59% |
Push Gaming states that RTP can differ depending on the casino. The loading screen and the user panel within the game display the version being used. For the 96.45% version, buying the bonus theoretically provides a slightly higher return than spinning to trigger it.
Maximum payout
Reports on the maximum win for Fat Rabbit mention figures of 2,000×, 10,223× and 10,233×. None of these align with the rules of the game.
The captured in-game rules limit one round to 11,322.76× the current bet. Push Gaming's page lists 3,844×, though it describes this amount as the highest observed win: the largest recorded outcome, not the limit. The figure in the rules is the maximum.
For instance, with a 1-unit bet, no single round can pay out over 11,322.76 units. The rules don't specify what occurs if a round hits that limit, such as if the feature terminates early.
The small print, rule by rule
Push Gaming's rules are listed here as they were captured from a single copy of the game. Wording may vary across versions, so check the rules screen in the version you are using.
How lines pay
Matching symbols must start from the leftmost reel to create wins. Only the highest win on that line is paid if more than one winning combination forms on a single line. Wins from different lines are summed. For example, if a 3-of-a-kind and a 4-of-a-kind appear on the same line, only the 4-of-a-kind pays. A win on line 3 and a win on line 17 both pay.
Harvest Feature
The Harvest Feature triggers at random on a base-game spin. A tractor moves across the reels to place Wild Carrot symbols. Since no symbol combination activates it, there is nothing to target.
Free Games
- Trigger: a Rabbit symbol and at least one Wild Carrot appear anywhere on the grid.
- Award: five free spins.
- During the feature: the Rabbit remains on reel 1 and gathers carrots in a meter.
- Extra spins: the Rabbit grows and grants more spins every time the meter fills: +3 for the first fill, +2 for the second, +2 for the third and +1 for the fourth.
Completing all four meters increases the round from 5 spins to 13. The captured rules do not mention a retrigger.
Bonus Buy
Push Gaming's page mentions a Bonus Buy but doesn't provide a cost. The captured rules state it's 80× the base bet, meaning a 1-unit bet requires an 80-unit Bonus Buy.
Incomplete games
A round that isn't finished is resolved automatically after 48 hours. The player's account receives any winnings. The stake is given back if the round can't be resolved.
Malfunctions
The rules state: "MALFUNCTION VOIDS ALL PAYS AND PLAYS." Any fault nullifies the wins and bets impacted. There isn't a distinct outcome described in the rules for a dropped connection.
Stakes and the law in Australia
The demo shown lists wagers from 0.25 to 100.00 in "fun" units, which are marked as not real money. For Australia, that range is not a real-money stake range.
No online casino can be licensed in Australia. As a result, there is no minimum RTP or Australian stake cap for online slots. The Act's offences apply to providers, not players. ACMA can direct internet providers to block offshore sites that provide prohibited services, such as online slots.
BetStop, which is the national self-exclusion register, only covers phone and online wagering that is licensed. It doesn't cover casino games like slots. Set your limits before you start, regardless of what you play.
