Kitty Glitter

Basic Features

Guys… Somebody at IGT actually sat down, thought long and hard about this, and then said “You know what sounds like a good direction to take our company in? We should make a carbon copy of Wolf Run, one of the worst slots we’ve ever made, and then replace the wolves with cats. And then make the whole thing pink and call it ‘Kitty Glitter’. Seriously, guys, recipe for success!” Geez, no friggin’ wonder you don’t hear about IGT these days!

Kitty Glitter Slot

As mentioned above, Kitty Glitter is almost an exact copy of Wolf Run. A couple of the values are slightly different (for example, getting 4 of the best-paying symbol gets you 300 times your bet in Glitter and 200 times in Run), but those differences are relatively few. As far as average winnings are concerned, you’re going to have the exact same experience playing either slot, complete with identical sounds and animations. It really doesn’t help that the symbols in both slots look like, forgive my French, crap. The sounds and animation aren’t much better, either.

Paytable

For a 30-payline slot, the payout tends to be pretty low. Obviously, the biggest draw of… *sigh* Kitty Glitter (who came up with that name?!? I mean, what was the target audience, 5 year old girls? They don’t even play casino!) is the free spins feature, which is one degree above “basic”, but more on that later. My point is that in both Glitter and Run you can only win 1000 times your bet, if you manage to get 5 Grumpy Cats. By the way, has anyone seen the Grumpy Cat movie? It was surprisingly good! I mean, it’s not– Sorry, sorry… I’m just trying not to think about this slot.

The paytable contains seven entire slides, which is 4 more than were really necessary for such a simplistic slot. Two of them are literally identical, except mirrored – one for the normal symbols and one for the inverted symbols that show up during bonus rounds. There’s also the paylines and some basic/generic information about payback (suck as limits and legal info), and also info on how to activate the bonus round (which – surprise, happens with 3 Scatter symbols), and… Dear God, what am I doing with my life? I could be benefiting humanity in some way, and instead I’m here talking about a generic slot named Kitty Glitter…

Bonus Rounds/Free Spins

There’s a rather basic free spins feature implemented in this slot (we probably wouldn’t have been talking about it at all if it wasn’t for that), which, by the looks of it, seems to be where most of IGT’s efforts went, not that it’s really saying much, all things considered. Scatter symbols only appear on the middle three rows, and only one per row can show up, and since you need to grab 3 Scatters in order to unlock it, already the chances of you actually getting the free spins are minimal. It’s not impossible, since I managed to do it, but it took about 250 spins in order to get it.

I need to give credit where it is due, and once I finally did unlock the free spins, I managed to win quite a lot. After you activate them, you’re going to get 15 free spins, and every time you get a diamond on screen that diamond is going to be added to your inventory. For every 3 diamonds, a different ordinary symbol turns into a Wild for the duration of the free spins, and even though chances are you won’t get more than 2-3 Wild symbols at a time (I managed to get exactly 8 diamonds), by the end you’re still going to be winning quite a lot. But with a bet value as ridiculous as £30 per spin at the very least, one has to wonder if it’s even worth the investment.

Experience of Playing the Slot and Other Recommended Games

This slot has broken me. Its very existence hurts my soul. It’s the same feeling I had when I learned that there was a serious of erotic novels featuring dinosaurs (yes, those exist, look up Christie Sims). It’s like… Who in the world thought that it was even a good idea? I’ll tell you who – someone who thinks that gamblers are stupid. I can assure you, this slot was commissioned by some big executive who invested the absolute minimum amount of time, effort and money into it without a second thought, believing that gamblers would just eat anything up as long as it’s a slot. And 10 years ago, in the age of the physical casino where smaller venues could only afford 3-4 slots and gamblers didn’t have much of a choice, maybe they would’ve gotten away with it too. But today that stuff just isn’t going to fly. Gamblers have literally hundreds upon hundreds of slots to choose from in the palm of their hand, including some of the very best slots ever made. Games like Jack Hammer and many, many more, offer a substantially fun experience that doesn’t insult your intelligence. So here’s my advice, boys and girls – invest your money in the good slots and support the developers who really deserve it. In other words, leave Kitty Glitter right where it belongs – in the kitty litter.
