Online slot machine Cat Clans 2: Mad Cats, created by Snowborn Games and available at Microgaming-powered casinos as of July 2023.
Players may once again spin the reels with their beloved cats for a top jackpot of up to 20,000x the stake in this slot, the successor to the famous Cat Clans Slot that was published two years ago.
Modeling a Slot
The gameboard of the Cat Clans 2 Mad Cats online slot is a typical 53, with 5 reels, 3 rows, and 20 fixed paylines.
The slot has the same HIGH variance and 96.00% RTP as its predecessor.
This slot is perfect for gamers searching for a low wagering slot with a huge return (up to 20,000x the bet) because the lowest bet each spin is only $0.20 and the maximum stake is $25.00.
The arrangement of the bet menu is excellent, with a Max Bet button and the option to change the stake without leaving the gameboard. This is another triumph for Snowborn Games.
Here we are in the wasteland, where the cats still have that clean cartoonish aesthetic but are now far more sophisticated in terms of combat strength, replacing the cats and symbols of the Middle Ages.
Again, a streamlined user interface with fluid animations, an Autoplay button, a Quick Spin button with three speeds, and an audio toggle.
Options for Slot Machines
Free games are activated when a player lands three, four, or five scatter symbols, respectively. The number of free spins will be restored to the original amount and any Wilds that appear will remain in place for the duration of the feature, just like in Cat Clans 1. Each remaining spin will raise the Wild’s multiplier by 1.
Again, this feature is hit-or-miss because to the extreme volatility and unpredictable placement of the wilds. We got good positions on the wilds, which paid a total of 153x, and we were awarded a total of three fury spins, which were reset three times.
Similar to the frequency with which this feature activates on the Cats Clans 1 slot machine.
With the Mad Respins function, the board is wiped clean, leaving only mystery boxes and empty spaces. When you get another mystery box, you get another respin. This will keep happening until no more mysterious packages arrive.
When the respin is over, the boxes are opened to reveal a winning combination made up of only one symbol. This event occurs far more frequently than the Cat Clan Battle did in the previous game, but its rewards are lower.
Players may purchase 3, 4, or 5 free spins using the buy feature for 50x, 80x, or 200x the wager, respectively. Especially considering the significant volatility, the price for the four and five free spins seems excessive. We experimented with it and saw a return of 10% on a $2000 investment.
Multipliers for landing wilds range from 1x in the main game to 5x in the bonus round. They can stand in for any other icon, scatters excluded.
The Mystery Box can reveal any symbol other from the Free Spins icon.
These boxes appear frequently enough, about once per 5 to 10 spins, and can include some high paying symbols, which can result in lucrative wins.
Verdict
The successor to Snowborn Games’ hit slot machine Cat Clans, Mad Cats, may now be played at Yukon Gold Casino.
The slot machine is so different from its predecessor that it may be considered a standalone title.
We don’t think Mad Respins is a good replacement for Cat Clan Battle because it’s not nearly as interesting, despite triggering more frequently.
The maximum wager and maximum payout were both maintained at their previous levels (up to $500,000 on a $25,000 wager), while the free spins feature was significantly improved.
Sticky wilds may retrigger up to 5 free games for players, and during free spins, wild multipliers can range from 1x to 10x, up from 1x to 5x in the main game.
Despite the games’ superficial similarities, we predict that Cat Clans 2: Mad Cats will be a huge hit with gamers this summer—whether or not they’ve played the original.
