Cats of the Caribbean Slot Machine – Free Play & Review

It is said that the Internet’s popularity is at least partially built on the backs of cat pictures, and while cat themed slot machines aren’t as common as that fact might suggest, this is still the sort of thing that a lot of players will appreciate. Combine that particular theme and add plenty of cute cats to a pirate story, add big prizes as well, and you get something that actually sounds good.

With its cartoon-style graphics, Cats of the Caribbean places the reels on the deck of a pirate ship. An island is visible in the distance, just the sort of place where you’d want to hide a treasure. On its reels, the game has a variety of themed symbols, ranging from barrels of fish, to hooks, bottles of rum, pistols, a squid, and a parrot. The four top paying symbols show us Big Tabby, Captain Claw, Captain Catnip, and Captain Red.

Developer

Coming from Snowborn Games, this slot machine will be an exclusive on Games Global’s platform (formerly owned by Microgaming). This type of collaboration brings over 100 new exclusive slots to the platform, and with hundreds of casinos that use it you will easily find a place where you can check them out.

How To Play It

You’re required to select the bet for the upcoming spin. There is an entire range that you choose from, with the minimum at £0.20, while the maximum is £25.

The game area is the usual one, using 5×3 reels each round. It has 20 active lines within that setup. A combination of 3 or more symbols is required, to get paid.

Special Features

First on the list of special features, the Cat Skull Wild is the top paying symbol in this game, offering 10x the stake if you cover an entire line with wilds. Of course, you still get to use it as a replacement symbol, on the lines where it can’t pay directly. It will not help out with other features.

You collect wild symbols when they appear, and randomly this could lead to access to a feature called Wild Cannon. It adds 2 to 15 wilds to the reels, for that one spin. If several are added in the same location, they gain a multiplier.

The Free Spins logo lands on the reels as a scatter, and it has about four variants, each one of a different color. The 1^st, 3^rd, and 5^th reels get scatters. The color of the one from reel 5 decides the type of free spins.

• Captain Red: 15 free spins that get 90 guaranteed wilds, with multipliers capped at 5x.

• Captain Catnip: 12 free spins with 40 guaranteed wilds, while their multipliers can reach 5x.

• Captain Claw: 10 free spins with 25 guaranteed wilds, along with the same 5x max multiplier.

There is also a Cat Pots Bonus, accessed when the Wheel logo shows up three times, on reels 2-4. Through it, you can claim one of the fixed jackpots, ranging from 20x to 10,000x.

Maximum Payouts

The regular side of the game doesn’t appear to offer a huge amount, though there are multiplier wilds of up to 5x that will appear during free spins. Most will likely hope to get the Cat Pots Bonus to trigger, since its Mega Jackpot is worth 10,000x the wager.

Considered a highly volatile slot machine, Cats of the Caribbean has a RTP range which goes up to 96%.

Summary

Cats of the Caribbean’s main strength comes from its wide range of special features, along with the cute graphics that are almost a guarantee when you combine cats and pirates.
