Cats of the Caribbean

Pirates are popular in slots, as are domesticated animals, so it makes sense to mash the two together and see what sort of pranks they'd get up to. Snowborn did a good job withCat Clans, so we had optimistic expectations of what might wash up in Cats of the Caribbean. For the most part, Cats of the Caribbean was a positive experience. It's hard to hate on kitties with names like Captain Catnip and Big Tabby, so the cats live up to their end of the bargain, helping to make a slot as adorable asCat Clanswas but simpler on the gaming side of things. Much simpler, really, as for much of the time, Cats of the Caribbean boiled down to slinging wilds at the grid and seeing what would happen. This is technically possible in the base game when the Wild Cannon starts blasting, then even more regularly so in free spins. Increasing the reels is a bit of a double-edged sword as, yes, there are extra ways to win and all, but also a larger pitch to shoot wilds at. If the reels had stayed 3 rows high, would it have resulted in more wilds doubling up, thereby creating more multiplier wilds? We can only wonder, and there were times when wilds did pile up on the screen, and single spin wins maxed out at around 90-100x the bet during the test sessions. Symbol values aren't massive for this sort of reel/payline set-up, so there is a suspicion it will be hard to make major ground without winning the top Cats Pot 10k prize, which is incidentally the game's max win figure as well. All in all, Cats of the Caribbean was a cute game to play through. It does one or two interesting things with wilds and wild multipliers, though it's not as innovative as Snowborn's previous cat game was. However, anyone keen on moggies dressed up as pirates might be thrilled by the opportunity to do a spot of potential plundering alongside them.
