Play Cats of the Caribbean in New Zealand

Cats of the Caribbean builds its pokies action around Wilds that arrive from a cannon or as guaranteed placements in three captain rounds. Cats of the Caribbean uses 20 fixed paylines in the base game, then adds a fourth row and increases the total to 30 during Free Spins. Cats of the Caribbean was publicly released by Snowborn Games through Microgaming on 23 August 2022.

Cats of the Caribbean Game Overview

Cats of the Caribbean runs on five reels and three rows until a Free Spins feature changes the layout. Cats of the Caribbean reads wins from left to right across 20 fixed lines. Cats of the Caribbean expands to five reels and four rows with 30 fixed lines when Captain Red, Captain Catnip or Captain Claw takes over.

Cats of the Caribbean divides its bonus play between the Wild Cannon, captain Free Spins and the Cat Pots wheel. Cats of the Caribbean can place up to 15 Wilds from the cannon and can turn overlapping placements into Wild multipliers. Cats of the Caribbean keeps every spin independent, so a quiet run does not make one of those mechanics due.
