Copy Cats Slot

Graphics

If you have seen The Secret Life Of Pets, you are along the right lines in terms of graphics.

Though you might never have seen cats this colour - bright Red, Pink and Blue cats make up our high-paying symbols - you will recognise the styling.

NetEnt has strived to give each moggy its own personality, too, with one super cute, one suavely confident and the last clearly fed up. No wonder he’s blue. But each of our feline friends animates in subtle ways when they form winning combos - though of course we will be far more animated should we land five reels full of cats and the big win that will inevitably bring.

Various kitty paraphernalia make up our low payers, while the lucky Golden Cat leaps out as the game’s Wild.

Gameplay

So our Cats are our keys to major winnings when landing them as winning combos across the game’s 25 paylines. But the Copy Cats feature - triggered when we land a stacked reel of one kind of cat or a stacked reel of Wilds on reel 1 - offers a base game shot at the big time.

A Star Wars-esque screen wipe emanates from reel 1 and transforms all other cat symbols or Wilds on the reels to the same cats stacked on that first reel. We are assimilating cats for our own monetary benefit. And so to the Free Spins bonus feature. This triggers when we land three bell collar Scatters across the reels.

We now have 10 free games to play with and, with extra shots at triggering the Copy Cats feature and retriggering the bonus feature on offer, this is our time to be feline good.

Verdict

Copy Cats is another feather in NetEnt’s slots development cap - though if these kitties see the feathers they are likely to swipe it off NetEnt’s head. It’s super cute and, even if you don’t normally go for this kind of slot, the Copy Cats feature is one to watch.

It’s low-medium variance, but has the potential to be one to write home about if we land, and even retrigger, the Copy Cats Free Spins feature. Good? It’s the cat’s meow.
