Cornelius

The main character within this online slot, known as Cornelius, is a prime example of why visiting the treat cupboard on a regular basis might not be the brightest idea. This game revolves around a cat that has eaten a little too much junk food. However, the aim of the game is actually to feed him even more, with calorific foods awarding the player when matched along a payline. 

This slot was created by NetEnt, which is one of the leading providers in the world of online slot games. In the past, NetEnt has made a vast selection of popular titles, including both slots and table games. Some of their most well-known slot titles include Desert Riches Hold 'N' Link, Turn Your Fortune, and Gonzo's Gold.

With Cornelius, players can get started with a minimum of 0.20 per spin, which will cover all of the 1,024 fixed paylines. The maximum potential win sits at 1,051x the stake size, with an RTP of 96.04%. Interestingly, players can also buy the bonus directly within Cornelius, if they wish. Purchasing the bonus costs exactly 100x the standard bet size.

Within this game, the standard 10, J, Q, K, and A symbols make an appearance as the lowest awarding symbols. There are also sardines, tinned cat food, a bottle of milk, and picture frames, which act as the premium symbols in this slot. When three or more of these symbols match, the player will be awarded based on their stake size. 

Like with most other slots, there are also some special symbols to keep an eye out for. These include the cash drop symbol and a scatter symbol, which is displayed as a jar full of cookies. Both the two aforementioned symbols are linked to their respective bonus modes.

Cornelius has two bonus rounds, which are relatively similar and both based around the same respins mechanic. First up is Cash Drop, which is triggered when the corresponding symbols drop across any of the reels. These symbols will then turn into values, anywhere from 0.25x to 3.00x the total bet size, before the Cash Drop round commences.

Players have three lives, with the potential for additional treats to drop into play. The number of spins is reset whenever a new item of food enters the play zone. After each spin, all symbols move down the board, and when they reach the bottom, will be transferred into Cornelius' bowl and awarded to the player.

There is also a free spins mode, which works in almost an identical way. However, there are a variety of additional symbols that can drop. Some of these are exclusive to this bonus round. First are the cash drop symbols, which display a random value between 0.1x and 0.5x the stake size. Other symbols that may appear are upwards arrows, which moves all food back up one space. There is also a golden upwards arrow, which moves all of the treats to the very top of the screen.

Finally, there is an adder and multiplier, which will add 0.1x to 0.3x or multiply every existing symbol by 2x, respectively. Adder symbols are also sticky, which means they will stay in place for the rest of the round and will not move down after each spin. When there are no new symbols for three rounds, the on-screen values are added to those already in the bowl before the total is awarded to the player.

Players that enjoy respin-based bonuses might find that Cornelius is a game they will enjoy. The free spins mode can get particularly chaotic, with a variety of different symbols to look out for. Cornelius also comes with high-quality graphics and a unique soundtrack!
