Game Overview

It’s got to beeee purrfect! Yes, I did start this review with a pun, and yes, you likely sang it too, and if you didn’t, you just did. Okay, that’s the obligatory witticism out of the way that every cat-themed slot deserves, so let’s take a look at what we have for you today. We’ve got, at first glance, a potentially great-looking game in the shape of AvatarUX’s Kitty POPpins. This 5 reel slot comes with up to 59,049 ways to win, an RTP of 96%, and a huge maximum win of 50,000x bet.

We certainly can’t accuse AvatarUX of holding back on the features in this release. First, we have the inclusion of cascading reels, activating each time a winning combo is created in the game and bringing the unique MutliPop into play. Next, there’s the King Cat Feature, which can randomly trigger and award either the CATeriffic Re-Shuffle, CATcellent Removal, or the CATilicious Respins. Crikey and I thought my pun was bad. The biggy to aim for, however, is the free spins feature, triggered when a minimum of three scatters land in view. All King Cat modifiers are active during this bonus but with additional upgrades. Finally, multiple enhanced play and feature buy options are available, which we’ll get into later.

So there we have it, another game to add to the feline-themed portfolio. Will this one turn out to be a fur-midable opponent? Yeah Yeah, that was claw-ful, I know, but I refuse to apologise further after AvatarUX’s efforts. I’ve got a better idea, fire up the demo slot of Kitty POPpins below and forget all about my bad cattitude.

Kitty Poppins Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols

Kitty POPpins slot paytable

When you ask most people which they prefer more, dogs or cats, nine times out of ten, you’ll get a definitive answer. I’m the one who will say they are both as bad as each other. Why? I was a postman in my younger years, and let me tell you, I’ve had my fair share of run-ins with both. If you fall into the cat camp, though, there are plenty of other slotting options open to you, such as Kalamba Games Phat Cats Megaways or Relax Gaming’s Dream Drop jackpot title Fly Cats. As for today, though, we’re set to dive into AvatarUX’s Kitty POPpins, so let’s head to the pays section and find out more.

We’ve got four cat characters coloured red, green, purple and blue heading up the premium pays, with all of these symbols worth 2x the bet for a five of a kind win. Onto the medium pays, and there are five separate accessories featuring bows and collars, all paying 1x bet for a completed line of five. Finally, we come to the low pays, represented by the playing cards Ace, King, Queen, Jack, Ten and Nine, with all of these valued at 0.5x for a five of a kind hit.

Clicking the currency icon will reveal the game’s betting range, starting at €0.20 a spin and maxing out at €40 a play. There’s a reasonably decent selection of stakes between these amounts, but their size starts to increase quite drastically once you get past the €2 mark.

Base Game & Modifiers

Kitty POPpins slot base game

Play in the base game is set over a 5×5 reel set, and players are awarded a win when a minimum of three matching symbols connect from left to right or right to left. Any winning combo will activate the cascading reels mechanic, removing winning symbols from the reels and replacing them with new ones for further chances to win.

Multipop

Every new spin will award a random starting multiplier on random cells within the playfield. Whenever a symbol is part of a winning combination, it will be replaced by another symbol and the new symbol has a 1x multiplier attached to it. This consecutive increase will persist each time a win combo is formed on a cell carrying a multiplier. Players should note that the multiplier is locked to the cell, not the symbol.

King Cat

The King Cat is triggered randomly and will award one of the following modifiers.

Cattilycious Respin: More multipliers will be added to the playfield, and all of the cells currently in play will be locked in place whilst a respin occurs. Additional multipliers contain random amounts; if they land on a position already containing a multiplier, the values will be added.

Cateriffic Re-Shuffle: More frames that may have multipliers attached will be added to the playfield. Each cell with a frame will then be re-shuffled for a chance to win.

Catcellent Removal: Up to two low-value symbols will be selected and removed from the playfield for that spin cycle.

Ante Bet

The ante bet offers you the chance to increase your bet size by 25% in return for doubling your chances of triggering the free spins feature.

Kitty Poppins Slot Bonus Features

Kitty POPpins slot free spins feature

There are three free spin modes that be triggered on Kitty POPpins, and landing 3, 4, or 5 bonus symbols will award you the following.

3 Bonus Symbols: 5 free spins and the playfield is increased and locked to 7 rows high.
4 Bonus Symbols: 8 free spins and the playfield is increased and locked to 8 rows high.
5 Bonus Symbols: 12 free spins and the playfield is increased and locked to 9 rows high.

Free Spins

During the free spins bonus, the King Cat modifiers that are active in the base game now come with additional upgrades.

Cattilycious Respin: The amount of added position multipliers that will lock in place for a respin is now upgraded to 8
Cateriffic Re-Shuffle: The amount of symbols that can reshuffle is now 10.
Catcellent Removal: Up to five low-value symbols can now be removed.

Bonus Buy

If the bonus buy is active in your jurisdiction, you can choose from the following buy-in options.

King Cat is active on every spin at the cost of 7.5x bet.
5 free spins with the reels locked at 7 rows cost 75x bet.
8 free spins with the reels locked at 8 rows cost 200x bet.
12 free spins with the reels locked at 9 rows cost 500x bet.
10 free spins with the reels locked at 9 rows and King Cat active on every spin cost 1000x bet.

Pros

The MultiPop mechanic can produce some massive wins.
Huge max win of 50,000x bet.
Well executed theme and the game looks great.

Cons

1000x top buy-in price is quite steep.
Pun department needs to up their game.

Final Thoughts

I really like the new direction AvatarUX has taken with Kitty POPpins, particularly the MultiPop mechanic. It was giving me Sugar Rush vibes from Pragmatic Play a little bit, but the one massive difference here is that Kitty POPpins boasts a massive top win of 50,000x bet, and if you hit a good run in the feature, it's easy to see how this could be achieved. Definitely a full recommendation from me on this one, and I hope to see more games in this style from AvatarUX in the near future. As for now, I'm going to sign off by saying this slot is totally claw-some.
