KTV

KTV Review

Produced by Pragmatic Play back in 2016, KTV is a very interesting, albeit simple slot with a x10,000 multiplier at stake. It features 5 reels, 3 symbol rows, and 15 fixed paylines for landing combos. Although overall this game with Wilds and Scatters looks like many other titles from those years, there is a bonus round where you can win a guaranteed prize of up to 825 points convertible into cash. KTV is available on the SlotCatalog website, where you can test it without spending your money, so you don't risk anything.

Before becoming one of the leaders in the live dealer segment, Pragmatic Play made a name for itself as a creator of exciting slot machines with unusual visuals and advanced mechanics. We got our hands on KTV slot, one of their first releases, which saw the light of day on May 30, 2016. It is a very interesting medium-high volatility game with a fairly simple 5x3 grid and 15 betways that are always active. The good news is that the provider did not skimp on the RTP, offering a 96.38% return-to-player ratio.

Each game round here begins with selecting your bet size, and you can start finding out how lucky you are with €0.15 per spin. The maximum possible bet here is €75. Considering that the maximum multiplier in the game is x10,000, you can win up to €750,000, which sounds pretty good.

Despite its love for intricate, innovative mechanics, Pragmatic Play offers us simple rules for forming combos here. Most often, you need to land at least 2-3 identical icons next to each other to receive payouts. But prizes are also awarded for single icons, such as the star symbol.

KTV Slot Reels Screen

There are no card symbols familiar to many, and they have been replaced by geometric shapes such as multicolored circles, squares, crosses, and others. The yellow star is the most valuable symbol. Even just one of these icons can earn you a prize (and for a combo of five matching symbols, you will receive a x100 multiplier). Pragmatic Play also delights us with Scatters, Wilds, and a Bonus symbol responsible for launching a very interesting mini-game.

KTV Features

So, we are dealing with a game that is 10 years old. But it still has something to surprise you with. Thanks to fairly frequent winning combinations, even the base game will bring something interesting. But the real fun begins when you get the right number of Scatters and Bonus symbols, as they trigger additional features that can bring you quite large prizes.

Wild

Able to appear on any cell of the playing surface, the Wild symbol performs its standard function here, replacing simple symbols. This icon can also form combos of 3-5 identical ones on the payline, bringing in some pretty good prizes. But it lacks the extra multiplier that we see in many other more recent releases.

Bonus Mini-Game

The KTV slot has a bonus symbol, which can only appear on the middle reels. If you are lucky enough to collect three of these icons lined up along the payline, this will trigger a pick-me style game in a separate window. First, you will be asked to choose one of three drinks to decide how many game attempts you will receive. Then, 13 club dancers will appear on the screen, and your task is simply to choose the ones you like. Each girl hides a cash prize, and you can accumulate up to 825 bonus points in total (but it all depends on the number of attempts you received in the previous stage). Overall, this is a nice addition to the base game where you have a good chance of winning something substantial.

FS Bonus

Unlike Bonus symbols, Scatters can appear on any cell. And your task is to collect at least three of them in any position on the playing field to earn FSs. Three Scatters will bring you only 10 FS, but you get 20 or even 40 free spins for 4 and 5 special icons, respectively. The value of this bonus is that you don't spend your money on bets while having the same chances of winning as in the base game. In addition, the FS bonus can be restarted by landing at least 3 more Scatters.

Theme & Graphics

Karaoke bars are hugely popular in many Asian countries, which is why Pragmatic decided to choose this theme. So get ready for a neon nightclub with bright lights and silhouettes of attractive girls on the dance floor. The animations here are fairly simple but effective, especially when bonus features are triggered, adding dynamism to the game window. But overall, the game looks pretty simple, which is not surprising considering its rather respectable age. Since Pragmatic Play always uses HTML5, KTV runs smoothly on mobile devices, so you can enjoy the game on the go.

KTV Free Play

If you want to check how RTP works and whether volatility reflects reality in practice without risking anything, launch the KTV free play version. This will allow you to learn about the features of the pick-me bonus game and assess how often Scatters trigger free spins. The SlotCatalog website has a KTV demo game where free credits are provided. Theoretically, you can play an unlimited number of rounds, so don't miss this opportunity to get acquainted with the game without risk.

Pros & Cons of the KTV Slot

Our Verdict

As experts who take a responsible approach to testing each game, we thoroughly checked out KTV by playing about 300 rounds. We felt that the volatility here isn't too high, as literally every second or third spin brings a payout, albeit a pretty small one. In addition, Wilds save the day here as they appear quite often and participate in combos.

Although the bonus round with the possibility of winning up to 825 points is very interesting here, it is triggered extremely rarely. And it is disappointing that Pragmatic did not provide for the possibility of a direct purchase. On the other hand, the required number of Scatters appears more often, so you can get real benefits from free spins. If you like the provider's older releases, such as 7 Monkeys, it makes sense to try the KTV slot. But start with small bets or even the demo version to better understand how the game works in practice.
