The wombat says: Drum roll please! It’s another release from NetEnt- of Fisticuffs slot fame- and this game has a unique little theme – brightly coloured cats that can copy themselves to give you bigger and more lucrative wins! We like cats here at Wombat Towers (in fact we’ve got 2 of the blighters), and as you already know, we like slots too – so this is a match made in heaven. Well, let me qualify that. We like small fluffy cats, not the big moggies that sit at the top of the food chain.
But will you lot be smitten as kitten with this new NetEnt slot, too? Or will you be sharpening your claws with disapproval? Let’s it fire up to find out!
Look and Feel
Yet again the slot wizards from this Swedish studio – the people behind Butterfly Staxx– have created a game with awesome cartoon-like graphics and crisp 3D animations, with your reels set on a street scene. NetEnt slots are always easy on the eye and this is no exception.
There’s also a cool jazzy soundtrack which makes this wombat quite happy. You just try and play this game without tapping your foot and letting off a few Louis Armstrong scat be boop da woo yahs. I bet you can’t.
Game Play
The Copy Cats slot has 5 reels, 3 rows and 25 pay-lines. Your feline-themed symbols range from the low-value coloured paw prints to a fish bone, some milk and a wind-up mouse cat toy. These aren’t the kinds of cats you’ll see on the Soccer Safari slot– they’re more the Meow Meow kind.
The high value symbols are made up of the 3 different coloured moggies, (pink, blue, red), and these cool cat symbols are crucial as they’ll set off the Copy Cat feature bonus. But more on this below..
The Scatter symbol in the game is the golden cat bell, which will land on reels 1, 3 and 5 only, and the Wild symbol is a gold cat holding a purple ball of string. It will do the usual job of substituting for all other symbols on the reels except the scatter.
Oh, and one more thing: All the symbols can appear stacked on the reels which means loads more winning combs for you!
Copy Cat Bonus Feature
To set off this fun extra Wombat fans, you’ll need to land a full stack of any of the coloured felines symbols – just as long as they match.
Once the bonus begins, all the cat symbols on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th reels will copy themselves into the symbol that triggered the feature to begin with for one whole spin! This is double awesome!
Are you confused? Start playing and it will soon make sense.
Free Spins
A slot wouldn’t be a slot without a Free Spins bonus, now would it? And you can trigger off this feature if you manage to land 3x or more of the Cat Bell Scatters on the 1st, 3rd and 5th reels. Ding Ding!
Here you’ll receive 10 free spins with all the high-value cat symbols on reel 1 as Wilds – which will also launch the Copy Cats feature for you, too. ‘What?’ I hear you ask. Yes, that’s right, it’s sheer Copy Cats madness in this slot. You can also re-trigger the Free Spins 10 by landing 3x more of the Cat Bell Scatters.
Conclusion
As always there’s a buzz around any new NetEnt release, and we think their latest slot is as entertaining and lucrative as anything we’ve seen from them before. Spin away, you will love it. As always from NetEnt, this game looks and plays like the cat’s whiskers on mobile phones and tablets. Go full screen and play on the go!
Wombat score 5/5
This game is no longer available at Wombat Casino. Sorry about that chaps! Why not have a spin on Cat Clans 2 – Mad Cats slot from Snowborn Games instead?
