Cats of the Caribbean Review

It was hard not to be charmed by the Scottish cats in Snowborn Games’ previous Cat Clans, and in Cats of the Caribbean you get to go on a buccaneering adventure with some cool-looking pirate cats. The colorful and cartoonish visual style is similar, and you get plenty of animated antics accompanied by a swashbuckling soundtrack.

Cannonball wild symbols are collected in a chest that says “wilds”, and this eventually triggers wild cannon seen on the opposite side. This is how you get random wilds in the base game, while all 3 tiers of the bonus round awards random cannon wilds per free spin. You can win up to 10,000x your stake, which is most likely to come from the Cats Pots jackpot wheel feature.

Cats of the Caribbean Slot Features

The premium character symbols, Big Tabby, Captain Claw, Captain Catnip and Captain Red, all pay 5x your stake for 5 of a kind wins. Wild symbols pay 10x your stake for the same, and they also step in for pay symbols to help complete wins.

The Wild Cannon sits in front of the grid on the right-hand side, and it will activate at random times. This adds 2 to 15 wild symbols randomly blasted onto the reels, and wilds placed on top of wilds increase the wild multiplier by +1 each time.

You need 3 scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5 to trigger the Bonus Round, and there are 3 different versions of the feature. Which tier you get is determined by the scatter type that lands on reel 5, and here’s an overview:

• Captain Red Bonus Round - awards 15 free spins with 90 guaranteed wilds.
• Captain Catnip Bonus Round - awards 12 free spins with 40 guaranteed wilds.
• Captain Claw Bonus Round - awards 10 free spins with 25 guaranteed wilds.

You get one extra row during the feature, which increases the number of paylines to 30. The wild cannon will blast wild symbols onto random positions per spin, and wilds on wilds increase the wild multiplier like in the base game. The wild multiplier can go up to x5, and all the guaranteed wilds you get will be used during the bonus round.

The Cats Pot Bonus Wheel triggers when you land 3 cat pots symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4, and you’re then guaranteed to win 1 of 4 jackpots. These are the mini, midi, major and mega jackpots, and they pay 20x, 50x, 500x or 10,000x your stake, respectively.

Finally, non-UK players, and anyone eligible, may take advantage of the Bonus Buy option. You can either pay 55x your stake for the Captain Catnip Bonus Round, or 200x your stake for the Captain Red Bonus Round.

The 200 Spins Cats of the Caribbean Slot Experience

You get to see us collect some cannonballs from the wilds for the cannon to eventually fire, but we didn’t get too much of that in the base game. The bonus round triggers at 2:18 into the 4:16-minute highlights video, and you can see for yourself how we fared by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

We quite enjoyed the previous Cat Clans from Snowborn, and Cats of the Caribbean comes across as a visually similar follow-up. The pirate theme is a tad more familiar than the Scottish clan theme from the first game, but both installments are filled with charming feline characters. The Wild Cannon can deliver decent wins in the base game, at least if you also get some multiplier action to spice things up.

The bonus round comes with plenty of wilds and multiplier wilds, depending a bit on which tier you get. These are hardly new or innovative features in any way, but the way they’re blasted onto the grid via the cannon is kind of entertaining. The 10,000x potential is pretty solid, but we’re unsure how realistic that is outside of winning the mega cats pots jackpot.

There’s also a cat-a-pult bonus round to look forward to, and the overall max win is 20,000x your stake.
