Cats Of The Caribbean

Everyone reading this review will have heard of Pirates of the Caribbean. And, it’s fair to suggest it’s the source of inspiration behind this slot release. However, Snowborn Games and Games Global like to do things on their terms, and they swap human pirates for cats, and it’s kind of fun to see.

Cats have often been used in slots, especially when attempting to add something new to a story, so this feels like a great move by the developers. And, we think more players will be on board with Cats of the Caribbean than they potentially would have been with standard pirates.

The slot itself is made up of five reels and twenty paylines. It's compatible with mobile thanks to HTML 5 technology, and rounds start at 0.20. The maximum wager is 25.00, which is ideal for those who enjoy spending a bit more when playing slots. The top payout of 10,000x is also appealing, considering the betting range.

Cats of the Caribbean is a real treat visually, as you will expect, and it also has the features to match. There is a free spins bonus round to play through, and random events are present in what is very much an all-rounder that does well across the board.

As you will expect, the theme is central in Cats of the Caribbean. It’s probably the game’s biggest selling point, and this transfers onto the reels in terms of the symbols punters can expect to see. It’s going to come as no real shock that there are cat pirate icons, and they come in different designs and colours, which keeps things interesting.

Also on the reels will be other icons relating to the theme, such as barrels of fish, pistols, octopuses, hooks, parrots and bottles of rum. Everything is exceptionally designed, even the backdrop, immersing you in the action as the reels spin.

The wild icon in Cats of the Caribbean is a cannonball, and it has two roles to play. The first sees it take its usual position as a replacement symbol for other regular icons in the game. But, the wild can also pay directly in this slot, with prizes of up to 10x for five across a payline available.

We mentioned a random event earlier, and it comes in the form of the Wild Cannon. At any time in the game, up to fifteen more wilds can be fired onto the reels, which can prove to be incredibly advantageous.

The sword is the scatter, and it can appear on reels 1, 3 and 5. When it does so simultaneously, it means there are some free spins to play through. How many free games a punter will get from the off depends on the symbol present on reel five. There can be up to fifteen, but then there are wilds to consider too.

There's also another scatter to keep an eye out for, and it's the ship's wheel. Again, three of them are needed across reels 2, 3 and 4, with a chance to win up to 10,000x possible.

Cats of the Caribbean by Games Global (which also released Sonic Links)and Snowborn Games, is an excellent take on Pirates of the Caribbean in slot game form. The theme is fun, and the design really does catch the eye. Of course, while the artwork and premise will initially draw punters in, there’s a great top payout to aim for, and the free spins feature is fun and well-thought-out.
