The original Cat Clans title saw a group of felines form an alliance in order to conquer various kingdoms throughout Europe. In this title, the same characters have seemingly been exiled from their former territories, with the cats now setting up home in the desert. The board is larger in the Cat Clans 2 Mad Cats online slot, and a wider range of symbols can also be found on the reels. A total of 20 paylines are active, all of which can be covered with a minimum stake size of 0.20.
This title was created by Snowborn Games, a company that focuses on themes and mechanics that aren't unnecessarily complicated. In their portfolio, players can find an assortment of casino slots, including the likes of Peaky Pigs, Masters of Olympus, and, of course, Cat Clans.
The standard icons in this release include the four playing card suits, which is not uncommon for online slots, followed by a tin of cat food and a can of petrol. Next up are premiums that focus on the different cats, also represented by the colours purple, blue, green, and red. Should five of these appear on the same payline, players can be awarded with 10x, 10x, 12.5x, or 12.5x their stake size, respectively.
Now, Cat Clans 2 Mad Cats is loaded with a selection of special symbols. First is the scatter icon, shown as a sign that reads 'Furry Spins'. Just like in most slots online, a wild in the form of a grenade can also be found in this release. Wilds come with the ability to substitute for any standard or premium symbol, should a matching combination be possible. There are also mystery boxes, fixed-value icons, and multiplier wilds!
The aforementioned mystery boxes can drop at random during any spin, revealing a standard, premium, or wild symbol. Alternatively, these boxes can display a fixed value symbol of anywhere between 0.2x to 50x the stake size, which will be collected and awarded immediately.
Paw symbols can appear on top of any symbol in the game at random, each one coming with the potential to trigger the 'Mad Respins' round. If this round activates, only mystery boxes can appear on the reels. Each time a mystery box lands, an additional respin will be awarded, with this continuing until no new symbols appear. At the end of this bonus, the boxes will reveal a symbol, and all potential winnings will be calculated.
Last but not least, if 3, 4, or 5 scatter icons land simultaneously in any position, the main bonus mode will activate. Players will start with 3, 4, or 5 free spins and should wilds appear, this number will reset. All wilds will also become sticky, and during each spin, one will randomly have their associated win multiplier increased by 1x. These win multipliers will be applied to any combination that the wild is a part of, and this round will conclude when no spins remain!
This slot brings forward a variety of different features from the original Cat Clans title. However, the bonus rounds have received a complete shake-up. Cat Clans 2 Mad Cats also comes with a different setting and a selection of new symbols!
