Meerkat Misfits Slots
Meerkats always draw the crowds whenever they show up at a zoo or similar venue. We bet you've never seen any like this before though, thanks to the amusing take on the animal provided by the creator of the Meerkat Misfits slot game. Check out the action by reading through our slot review, then you'll know whether you'd like to look more closely at it.
Who created the Meerkat Misfits slot?
This is another title to come from the recent collection of games released by Spin Logic Gaming.
You can rest assured there is a demo you can play
That's the best way to see what you think of the game, but only once you've read the remainder of our review, of course!
You can work out the theme already, we're sure
This one is about meerkats in the wild, so we're heading to South Africa to check out what they're up to.
Lots more animals appear in this design as well
We spotted a rhino in clothes holding a stop sign (yes, really), along with an ostrich who seemed friendly enough. And is that a jeep with some meerkats driving it?! We guess the 'misfits' part of the title makes sense now…
How to play Meerkat Misfits
Firstly, you won't find any progressive jackpots in this one. There are five reels with dusty tire tracks as the background, and three symbols will land per reel when it stops spinning.
There are four meerkats in action in the game, each one acting as a wild - and they've all got their own multipliers as well. The four wilds land on the final four reels of the game, each meerkat adopting its own reel and multiplier. Those go from 1x to 4x depending on the reel in play. Another meerkat acts as the scatter symbol - and this says 'free games' to give a huge clue to its role.
Expect to play on fixed paylines
And there are 30 of those, confirmed with a message to the side of the reels.
Play from a penny per line
This makes it a 30-cent game as you'll need to cover all the available paylines in action. The top bet available confirms this game's status as a high roller slot too since it maxes out at $150 per spin.
Don't miss your chance to read the paytable
This is provided inside the control panel under the reels, so you'll spot it easily enough.
There are no bonus features in Meerkat Misfits
No need to worry though because the game has a monster free spin game available.
The free spins include the chance to progress through different stages
There are four potential stages in this feature, and you'll begin at stage one if you can find three triggering scatters to do so. You'll receive seven free games with all wilds landing as 1x multiplier wilds. If you retrigger more spins, the second stage begins with 2x multiplier wilds during eight free games. Another trigger would get you a further nine games with 3x wild multipliers, and the final stage - if you reached it - would provide 10 games with all wild multipliers marked as 4x. If you got that far and still managed to get another trigger, you'd return to seven games plus the 1x multiplier.
RTP details are absent
You might have expected this from the developer, as the casino often sets the return to player percentage from the available values behind the scenes.
Our rating for the Meerkat Misfits slot game
This is a 9/10 game for us, and not just because the cute little meerkats are in action. It's entertaining and a little different for an animal-themed slot. We liked the progressive nature of the free games too… if you can get at least one retrigger.
What is the most you can get on one spin?
The paytable reveals this to be 50,000x your bet - and that's given per line too rather than per spin.
Demo action introduces you to the meerkat mayhem
Would that have been a better title? Either way, you can test everything in the demo version of the slot.
Real play for most budgets
Yes, with a huge disparity between the smallest and largest wagers here, you can count on finding something to suit you.
