Microgaming have based quite a few slot games on everyone’s favourite feline friends over their tenure in the iGaming world, and they’ve gone bigger with their latest addition to the list, Exotic Cats.Based on the big cats of the jungle as opposed to the pets we all know and love, Exotic Cats is not exactly a new direction for Microgaming, but it’s a fun slot nonetheless.
About the slot
With five reels and 243 ways to win, Exotic Cats is playable from 15p to £30 on all compatible desktop, mobile, and tablet devices.The reels are adorned with lions, panthers, tigers, and more while the lower value symbols are represented by clubs, diamonds, hearts, spades, and big cat footprints. A jungle scene stands behind the reels, adding to the theme.The design of the slot is attractive enough, it always is with Microgaming, but there’s nothing particularly fresh or exciting here, and there probably doesn’t need to be.
Gameplay
There are some interesting features at play here, not least the Vertical Wilds feature.The wild symbol, which is the game’s logo, substitutes for all apart from the scatter, but that isn’t the only way to trigger wilds in Exotic Cats.There is an Exotic Cat pictured above each reel, if the corresponding symbols lands on that reel, it turns it entirely wild.It is possible to land all five corresponding symbols at once, resulting in entirely wild reels.There is also a Free Spins feature here, which triggers when three or more scatter symbols land on the reels simultaneously.Not only will you get 10 free spins with the change of triggering five more, the Vertical Wilds feature is also active, so there are some huge wins to pick up on every free spin if you’re lucky.Not Microgaming’s best by any stretch of the imagination, but an entertaining enough game.
