Readers who don’t like cats can skip this review of OMG! Kittens video pokie, but for the rest of us, there’s lots to like about one of the biggest games in the WMS Gaming range, which has a range of cute and cuddly felines landing across the 5 reels, along with bonus features such as multipliers, mixed symbol wins and free spins.
Players are even treated to giant pictures of Bubbles, Tiger and Mr Whiskers, the stars of the game who are designed in a photo-realistic style that’s sure to please cat-lovers and online gambling fans worldwide. The rest of the game may not be quite so attractive, but it’s still colourful and has symbols like a ball of wool, spilt milk and a few other things that fluffy cats are associated with. Behind the main part of the game is a simple image of grass and flowers, although in an unusual feature, when the reels are spinning, they expand to cover the background image and game title.
A total of 40 paylines run from the left side of the reels, and 3 or more matching symbols will need to land across a line, on adjacent reels to claim a win, although the kittens can be mixed across a line, while wild and scatter symbols will pay out in different ways. Free OMG! Kittens video pokie games can be played at many casinos, and once ready to stake real cash, there’s a bet range from 0.40 to a high limit of 100.00 per spin.
As the game is loading, there’s a nice animation of a kitten watching a mouse move along the taskbar, giving players a hint of what’s to come. An overview of some of the top features precedes the actual reels opening up, and once there, players may want to review the pay table to find out more details about how it all works.
A pink collar, the milk and ball of wool are all worth the same amount when landing across a line, and a cat trying to get a goldfish out of a bowl is the next most rewarding image, but it’s the 3 kittens who players will really want to see, and not just because they are so cute, but also because they are more valuable.
It can be quite easy to get win from them as well, as they will fill an entire reel when they appear, and a smaller win is paid out if 2 or 3 different kittens lands across a line. If all 5 reels are filled with the same type, not only do players win a big prize, but they also get a close-up image of the little cutie filling the entire reel area. Lovely.
Any kitten landing on reel 5, on the right side of the game randomly multiplies any kitten wins by between 2x and 100x. Any combination of Tiger, Bubbles and Mr Whiskers on the first 4 reels, combined with the OMG Bonus on reel 5 will trigger a free spins game with multipliers attached to any win, along with initial scatter payouts to get things started.
Depending on the combination of kittens that triggered the round, the spins play out in different ways. Tiger awards multipliers of 2x, 3x, 5x or 10x depending on whether 1, 2, 3 or 4 were in the combination, Bubbles awards 5, 10, 20 or 45 free spins on top of the 5 already guaranteed, while and Mr Whiskers pays out the best initial reward of up to 400x the bet.
In case players are unlucky during the free games, there’s a handy feature guarantee that will pay out a consolation prize of 10x the triggering bet, or make up any shortfall at the end. Although an alternative set of reels is in play throughout the free spins, the coins won for each combination are the same as in the main game.
The top-quality animations and pictures of fluffy baby cats should be enough to bring out the feline fan in just about anyone. The giant picture of a kitten is just a gimmick, although a visually rewarding one, even if it’s not financially rewarding, but the multipliers and the way that different combinations of kittens will result in different numbers of spins and further prize multipliers is definitely not a gimmick.
This pokie isn’t mobile-optimised however, so players will need to seek out a desktop-based online casino if they want to cuddle up with the OMG! Kittens video pokie.
