Kitty Glitter Slot – IGT Online Slot Review

Are you a cat person? Do you like diamonds and slots with more than 25 paylines? If the answer is “yes”, than I might have just the game for you. IGT’s Kitty Glitter is all about adorable kitties and every woman’s best friends – diamonds. With simple gameplay and easy to understand rules, this slot is perfect for those that don’t want to read the instructions over and over again in order to learn how to play and win. Kitty Glitter has been called a slot for ladies a countless number of times; nevertheless, I think that gentlemen would love this charming game as well.

I believe that reading the most important details related to a game is crucial for deciding whether that game meets your needs or not. Therefore, I have prepared this in-depth review in which you can find betting limits, number of paylines and other basic info about Kitty Glitter as well as my personal view on the game. Furthermore, I will thoroughly explain the slot’s bonus round, plus I will compare it to similar titles.

Features Overview

Kitty Glitter is a 5-reel and 30-payline video slot developed by IGT. This slot is definitely not as amazing as other games by the provider or top titles by Microgaming, Playtech and NetEnt. However, it has a certain charm that makes it attractive to numerous players ever since it was first launched. The theme of the game is perfectly captured in the title since all you can see on the reels are cats and diamonds. Kitty Glitter accepts a wide range of bets and has only one free spins special feature. Besides being playable on desktops, this slot is mobile-friendly too.

Well, to be honest, the graphics and the effects on Kitty Glitter could use some improvement. As I’ve mentioned in many other reviews, providers like Microgaming and NetEnt are equipping their slots with 3D animations and breathtaking graphic effects; thus, my expectations on this are set pretty high. The sound effects are good, but far from fantastic as well. Therefore, I must say that the gaming experience from this point of view is probably not the best one you’ll find. The symbols are pretty simple and there aren’t any special videos or happenings on the reels to make you feel as if you’re part of the story.

Payouts, Symbols, RTP

First, let’s start with the lowest paying symbols on this cute IGT slot machine that are represented by card symbols. Card symbols from 10 to King pay from 5 to 100 coins depending on the number of icons per active payline. The Ace, being the strongest card in the deck, offers a slightly higher payout of 10-125 coins. The other four symbols are, not surprisingly, cats. The naughty Siamese pays from 20 to 300 coins while the shocked white and brown cat offers prizes between 30 and 400. Hitting three to five orange cats will get you 40-750 coins while the grumpy Persian is the best-paying symbol with 50-1,000 coin prizes.

Kitty Glitter Slot by IGT

We have a situation now where the return to player percentage is under 95% and that’s no good. As everyone already knows, the RTP should be at least over 95% so I could consider it positive. With an RTP of 94.92%, I don’t expect Kitty Glitter to be too rewarding and to treat players with regular wins. That, obviously, isn’t that attractive. The house edge is 5.08% and, in my opinion, that’s a bit higher than I like it to be. It might be boring with the house edge of 1-2%, but why not have as highest chances to frequently hit winning combinations as possible, right?

Free Spins and Special Features

Possibly the biggest surprise in this game is the bonus feature which I liked pretty much. It definitely lacks some cool animations or clips that would make it graphically attractive. Nevertheless, it’s rewarding, exciting and funny as hell. This free spin bonus feature is triggered with three scatter symbols i.e. with three diamonds in a bowl symbol. The scatter on Kitty Glitter pays three times the initial bet and it shows only on reels number 2, 3 and 4. Once three such icons land anywhere on those reels, the player is granted 15 free spins played on a slightly different screen.

Once the bonus round is activated, you’ll notice an interesting addition over the reels made of four wild symbols and three empty diamond slots next to them. Whenever during the free spin sessions you hit a diamond symbol, it magically fills one of the slots. If all three slots next to a symbol are filled, that symbols turns into a wild one on the reels. The quicker you fill those slots the better because every spin you earn more cash. Besides the bonus game, Kitty Glitter is also equipped with a wild symbol, which is, in fact, the game’s logo.

Kitty Glitter on Smartphones and Tablets

This feline-themed slot is often considered as one of the best, if not the best IGT game on the market. However, if I mentioned that the graphics are not as fantastic as I would want it to be on desktops, you should know that on mobile devices they are slightly worse. Depending on your device and its screen size, you should be ready to notice some imperfections that can easily annoy you every single spin.

Even though I usually recommend using devices with large screens when playing mobile slots, I can’t say the same for Kitty Glitter. On smaller screens your chances of seeing the poor graphics quality are very low. Otherwise, the sounds are okay when you play on smartphones and/or tablets and the game runs pretty smoothly.

Summary

So, the conclusion is usually the part where I point out the game’s highlights and give you all the right reasons for you to try it. With Kitty Glitter that’s a bit tricky because the game has several strong cons for sure. However, the cute theme and the adorable cats featured on the slot are always enough to make feline lovers hit the reels of the game. Additionally, I would say that the game has generous rewards and that’s yet another strong advantage of Kitty Glitter. The uniqueness of the bonus round is also something that could make me play this game again in the future.

Other Games to Try

Well, Kitty Glitter’s strengths are its theme, its cool bonus feature and the number of paylines. It would be a bit unfair to compare it with games like Aliens or The Avengers that are superior in more than one way. However, I could compare it to other IGT titles such as Monopoly and Cleopatra. Also, I could place it against Wizard of Oz by WMS. All these games have fewer paylines, but better graphical effects. Additionally, they offer interesting themes and several special features. Finally, these titles have a higher return to player percentage, which makes them more favourable than Kitty Glitter.
