For me, Christmas is the best holiday in the world. The entire family gathers, mums make favourite dishes for their children, and, I don’t know why, but I always feel like a 10-year-old. That’s the only time in the year I can feel like a spoiled kid.
My mum really loves cats and always has at least 6 of them in the house. So, I do know the true meaning of Merry Catsmas, eh? Whenever I come home, at least one cat is waiting on the porch. However, my mum never dressed them up in Santa Claus outfits.
This is why I have always been a bigger fan of dogs than cats. When you come home, the dog will jump on you and make your day. As for the cats, they always seem moody. That’s also the case with the cat in the Merry Catsmas pokie.
I was happy to see that the cat does not appear on the reels. Among high-paying symbols, you will find different types of Christmas cookies. Cat paws, Christmas trees, cats made of gingerbread, reindeers, and cats wearing Santa’s outfits. The rocket is the Scatter that triggers free spins, while the present represents the multiplier symbol.
You will have no trouble learning the rules of the game. Merry Catsmas pokie machine is played on a 6×5 grid and pays anywhere. This means that you land matching symbols anywhere on the reels. Land at least 8 matching symbols to win a payout.
Betting starts at $0.10 per spin. The maximum bet is set at $200. You can set the speed of the reels by clicking on the Fast Forward button. When you want the machine to do all the work, go to Autoplay. The Pixmove Games slot is of low volatility and offers a 10,000x max payout. Merry Catsmas RTP is 95.00%.
You will not find plenty of features in the Merry Catsmas pokie. After every win, you trigger the Tumble feature. The central attraction of the 2024 release is the Free Spins feature. Once in, you will be rewarded with presents that carry multipliers.
Also, thanks to Scatter Pays, each time you trigger free spins, you will get a cash prize. The rocket Scatters can deliver up to 100x the bet.
Each time you form a winning combination, the Tumble feature will remove all winning symbols and add new icons on the blank positions. This is basically the Cascading Reels feature and it can secure you multiple wins in a single spin.
When you land 4 Scatters on the reels, you will trigger 10 free spins. During the feature, you may get 5 extra free spins each time you land 3+ Scatters. Gift symbols appear only in free spins. Whenever it appears on the reels, the gift will reveal a 2x-1,000x multiplier applied on all wins.
The gift is a sticky symbol that remains on the reels during a tumble. After a non-winning tumble, the multipliers are removed from the reels. If more multipliers are present on the reels at the same time, their values are added together and applied to the win.
I triggered free spins several times and total wins were always different. The lowest I won was 48x. My biggest win was 155x.
You have 2 buy bonus options in the Merry Catsmas slot. For 99x the bet, you can buy 10 free spins. The other option costs 146x the bet and delivers 10 free spins with a minimum of 20 gift multipliers. I tried both options and none of them appeared to be worth the money.
Merry Catsmas pokie is a decent game fit for beginners and players who enjoy holiday-themed slots.
I am an action junkie, so I have to say that I would need a bit more features. Nevertheless, if Lady Luck is on your side, you can have plenty of fun with free spins and gift multipliers.
The 2024 release boasts crisp graphics and a fitting soundtrack. It comes with a festive atmosphere and really gives you a proper Christmas spirit.
However, I will not recommend it to dog people. Especially because the cat shows no emotions. I rate Merry Catsmas 7.2.
