Fat Rabbit slot

What is the Fat Rabbit slot?

Fat Rabbit is an online video slot from Push Gaming, released in 2018. Its reels form a square of five columns and five rows, and wins are paid on 50 paylines that are always active. The theme is a vegetable patch: a farmer, garden produce and card values make up the paying symbols, with a rabbit as the wild and carrots as the collectable that powers the bonus.

It's rated high volatility. In plain terms, the base game hands back small amounts often enough to keep the balance moving, but the large results are concentrated in the free spins, when the rabbit can grow to cover a big part of the grid. That shape matters more to your session than the theme does.

How the Fat Rabbit slot machine pays: 25 positions, 50 lines

A 5×5 grid has 25 visible positions, and Fat Rabbit draws 50 paylines across them. Each line runs from the leftmost reel to the right, and a win needs at least three matching symbols on adjacent reels starting from reel one. Because the lines are fixed, your total stake is always spread across all 50; you can't switch lines off to make a spin cheaper.

Here's a simplified picture of how a wild changes a line. Imagine the middle row reads Farmer, Farmer, Rabbit, Farmer, Ten. The rabbit substitutes for the farmer, so that line pays four farmers. If the same rabbit also sits on another line where two matching symbols lead into it, it can complete that line too. On a 50-line grid one wild often touches several lines at once, which is why a large wild is so valuable.

If 5×5 grids are new to you, our explainer on grid slot machines shows how they differ from the classic 5×3 layout.

The carrot-eating rabbit wild: Fat Rabbit's main feature

The idea that sets Fat Rabbit apart is a wild that grows. During the free spins the rabbit is on the grid as a wild, and carrot symbols that land are counted on a meter. Each time the count reaches the next threshold, the rabbit eats its way to a larger size and the round gains extra spins. A rabbit occupying a block of positions is a type of expanding wild: it acts as a wild on every position it covers.

Think of what that does on a 50-line grid. A one-position wild completes the few lines that run through it. A wild covering a block of rows and reels sits on most of the lines at once, so almost every line only needs matching symbols on the reels outside the block. That's where the game's biggest results come from.

1. Free spins start with the rabbit wild on the grid.
2. Carrots that land are added to the collection meter.
3. Reach the first threshold: the rabbit grows and more spins are added.
4. Each further threshold makes the rabbit larger again and adds spins, up to the top size.
5. The round ends when the spins run out; total winnings are added to your balance.

The exact carrot thresholds, rabbit sizes and extra spins are set out in the game's help screen. Third-party summaries don't always agree on them, so rely on the rules shown in the version you open.

In the base game, a random feature can scatter extra carrot wilds on the reels, giving a non-winning spin a second chance. Like all random features, it is decided by the RNG on that spin, not by anything that happened before.

How to trigger Fat Rabbit free spins

The bonus is started by landing the game's trigger symbols in a single spin; the help screen shows which symbols and how many. Once inside, the round runs on its own logic: carrots feed the meter, the rabbit grows and spins are added. Reading what triggers a bonus round shows why the trigger rate isn't something you can influence.

A useful way to judge a bonus like this is to remember that its average value is already built into the RTP. If the game returns 96.45% overall and a large share of that comes from free spins, then the base game alone returns noticeably less. Long base-game spells where your balance drifts down are part of the design, not a sign that the bonus is near.

Nothing in UK rules lets you buy entry to the free spins. Slots supplied to Great Britain don't offer a bonus buy, so the only route in is spinning.

Fat Rabbit RTP: 96.45% or 94.15%?

Push Gaming supplies Fat Rabbit with more than one RTP setting. Published figures list 96.45% as the standard figure and 94.15% as a version that also exists. Casinos choose which one to run, and players often don't notice. The gap looks small, but it changes the long-run cost by roughly two-thirds.

So at £1 a spin, the 94.15% version costs on average about £2.30 more per 100 spins. Over a longer session the difference keeps adding up. The RTP variants explainer covers why studios offer several settings, and how to find a slot's RTP shows where to read it.

How to check which version you're playing

1. Open Fat Rabbit at the casino (after logging in, or in demo mode after age verification).
2. Tap the menu or 'i' button to open the help screen.
3. Scroll to the section on theoretical return or RTP.
4. Note the percentage; if it reads 94.15%, you're on the lower setting.
5. If you'd prefer the higher version, compare with another licensed casino before staking.

Fat Rabbit volatility and what it does to a budget

High volatility means the outcomes are spread widely. With Fat Rabbit, a budget of £20 at 20p a spin buys 100 spins. On average that costs about 71p at 96.45%, yet many real sessions will end with most of the £20 gone, while a few will end well ahead after a big rabbit. Both are normal results of the same game.

None of these is predictable in advance. If you want longer sessions for the same money, a lower stake does more than switching to a 'better' time of day, which makes no difference at all. Our bankroll guide has more worked examples.

Fat Rabbit max win and stake caps in the UK

The sources we can verify don't include a max-win figure for Fat Rabbit, and third-party sites quote different numbers, so we don't state one. The developer's help screen gives the cap that applies to the version you are playing, and the casino's terms may set a separate limit on a single payout. See max win caps for how these limits work.

What we can state is the stake ceiling. Online slots in Great Britain are capped at £5 a spin for players aged 25 and over (since 9 April 2025) and £2 for those aged 18 to 24 (since 21 May 2025), per the Gambling Commission's stake limit guidance (opens in a new tab). Any multiplier-based prize is worked out from your stake, so the cap limits the top prize as well.

UK rules that shape the Fat Rabbit slot

Fat Rabbit was released before the 2021 game-design changes, so versions now offered in Great Britain have been adjusted to meet them. The Commission's summary of changes to the remote technical standards (opens in a new tab) lists what changed from 31 October 2021.

Our slot game design rules page covers each rule, and age and ID verification (opens in a new tab) explains the checks behind demo access.

Fat Rabbit demo: what it can show you

Free demo play of Fat Rabbit, after age verification, is useful for one thing above all: seeing how the carrot meter fills and how the rabbit sizes change in the bonus. Watch a few free-spins rounds and the help-screen rules make much more sense. It can't tell you how a real-money session will go, because a few hundred spins on a high-volatility game are a tiny sample. More in our demo slots guide.

Fat Santa and other games like Fat Rabbit

Push Gaming reused the growing-wild idea in Fat Santa, a festive version in which Santa eats mince pies instead of a rabbit eating carrots. The studio's Fat Banker is another title in its 'Fat' line. If you like Fat Rabbit's farmyard tone, other Push Gaming games such as Jammin' Jars and Big Bamboo use different mechanics but a similar high-volatility profile.

Fat Rabbit myths worth dropping

• 'The carrots are about to fill.' The meter only matters inside the bonus, and each carrot lands at random.
• 'It's been ages since a bonus, so one is close.' Every spin is independent; there is no due bonus. See do slot machines remember past spins.
• 'Raising the stake after losses wins it back.' That's chasing losses, and it only increases cost.
• 'The 94.15% version pays less often.' It pays less on average; you can't feel that over a short session.

Where to play the Fat Rabbit slot in the UK

We promote five UK-licensed casinos, and we can't promise any of them lists Fat Rabbit today: search the casino's lobby, as game availability changes, and check the RTP in the help screen. Coral offers new players 100 free spins at 10p each on selected games when they bet £10 on slots (18+, terms apply, some deposit methods excluded). Ladbrokes gives 50 free spins a day for 10 days (up to 500, 10p each, selected games) after you play £10 on slots. PlayOJO's 80 no-wagering spins are on Big Bass Bonanza rather than Fat Rabbit. See our casino pages for details and the slots hub for other games.
