Felines and mediaeval castles are two things that combine to craft the distinctive theme in the Cat Clans slot, a title which Snowborn Games released onto the iGaming market towards the end of 2021. This specific game proved to be a popular release from the developers, so much so that they even created a sequel in the form of Cat Clans 2 Mad Cats. In terms of the factors that defined this original Cat Clans slot, however, there are wild multipliers, sticky symbols, and some collect systems that all contribute to the multilayered gameplay experience at hand.

Beginning with the basics in the Cat Clans slot, a standard 5x3 playgrid set-up has been positioned in the centre of the playscreen, surrounded by a wooden frame that has a couple of arrows sticking out from it. This layout is common amongst other online slots in the UK, and the payline count featured by Snowborn Games reflects this, as 20 of them work from left to right across the blue coloured reels. Off to the left of the playtable, the Cat Clans logo sits displayed above a purple regal banner, all whilst a glowing golden chest sits directly underneath it.

The rest of the backdrop in the Cat Clans slot displays a mountainous landscape that has forested areas dotted all across it. A Mountain peak sits in the background, and some rolling green hills are visible in the foreground. Weaving throughout the green landscape is a dirt path that leads towards a giant mediaeval castle to the right of the reels, a detail which can be found in other titles such as Magic Mirror Deluxe 2 and Knights of the Golden Egg. This grand structure has a number of red flags hanging from its watchtowers, adding even more colour to the already vibrant art style which Snowborn Games have implemented across all areas of the playscreen.

Fashioned using blocks of wood, the lower valued set of symbols in the Cat Clans slot depicts your usual card royals. Although these symbols are often taken from live casino games, they fit the regal elements that have been included by Snowborn. As for the higher valued symbols that make up the rest of the paytable, a number of cat characters make an appearance, all backed by a different colour.

Lower Value Symbols:

Blue Wood Jack (J)

Purple Wood Queen (Q)

Green Wood King (K)

Red Wood Ace (A)

Medium Value Symbols:

Fish Bones

Milk Bottle

Higher Value Symbols:

Cat Warrior

Cat Wizard

Cat Archer

Cat King

There are also two types of wilds in the Cat Clans slot, one of these being a bomb and the other being an explosion with the word ‘WILD’ in front of it. These aren't the only bonus symbols in the Cat Clans slot either, as there is a catapult that has the role of being a scatter and some golden paw print tokens in this release too.

Both the bomb and explosion wilds in the Cat Clans slot have the same characteristics, being able to substitute themselves in place of all cat and card symbols should they land across the reels. However, where the explosion wilds differ is that these may have multipliers attached to them, just like the ones found in The Dog House Megaways. The multiplier values could range from 1x to 5x, with these being triggered should the wild be involved in part of a combination. In the case, multiple of these are activated along the same payline however, this may see their respective multipliers combined together.

The free spins round in the Cat Clans slot could be triggered should a player land 3 catapult scatters simultaneously. However, like in games such as Pirate Chest Hold & Win, this round only begins with 3 free spins. Should any bomb or explosion wilds appear on the playtable, though, these reset the free spin total back to 3 while also becoming sticky on the playgrid for the rest of the feature. What’s more, explosion wilds could have multipliers up to 9x in this bonus round.

During base and bonus gameplay, cat symbols could have golden paw print tokens attached to them. If these appear, they could be collected by the golden treasure chest off to the left of the reels. At random, this may trigger the Clan Battle bonus that starts with 5 free spins. At the start of these free spins, the warrior, wizard, archer and king cats are all assigned a random prize value between 10x and 10,000x. In the free spins, any cats are actually collected by the same cat above the reels, with the cat that is collected the most times triggering that respective prize.

All of the titles available from Snowborn at BoyleSports Games boast full mobile optimisation, which also applies to this feline-infused Cat Clans slot. The adaptive framework that supports this distinctively themed title across different screen sizes allows players to access it on smartphones, tablets, or PC devices.

Overall, the Cat Clans slot is a great example of Snowborn Games' thematic diversity. This title seamlessly merges medical and animal imagery to create a one-of-a-kind aesthetic. The nuanced nature of this game is taken to another level when factoring in the diverse selection of bonus mechanics, too, each of which brings its own unique elements to the gameplay experience.

Felines are not only found in the Cat Clans slot either, also making an appearance in the Catemple slot and Cleocatra too.
