Meowfia - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Taiwan’s KA Gaming made its name with a portfolio of games aimed at its substantial home market in Asia. This has included folklore and mythology as well as food, culture, history and simple everyday Asian settings. KA Gaming free slots quickly became available on many sites in jurisdictions all over the world. However, they always knew that to be a truly global player they would need to broaden their thematic range. So, while plenty of gamers still enjoy playing Asian themed entries like KA Gaming's Nine Lucks slot and many others, with Meowfia they are moving away from location-based themes while trying to preserve the originality of their ideas. It has to be said that, despite the excruciating pun of the title, Meowfia’s vision of organised cat crime is certainly not something we’ve seen much before, if ever. It has the basics of modern slot game play, including the almost obligatory free spins bonus round.

Meowfia has 5 reels and 3 columns with 243 ways to win. The minimum bet size is 0.20 and the maximum is 300. There are 11 regular symbols: the boss, the henchman, the lawyer, the lady, the bars of gold, a tommy gun, a brandy bottle and the four highest playing cards. The scatter is a tub of catnip and there is also a wild symbol.

Theme, graphics and soundtrack

With two backgrounds, the game already looks a little messy. The familiar montage of red KA dice is visible, top and bottom. Overlaid on this is a blurred image which is very hard to identify. On top of this is a grid with ornate gold framework and a plush reddish-brown background. The reels are not delineated by columns and they spin smoothly and smartly. The soundtrack is distinctly reminiscent of some of the incidental music in The Godfather movies

Meowfia review: our verdict

Much as we admire KA Gaming’s achievements and ambition, we have to say that this is not one of their most gripping games. The graphics are a little tame and apart from a very simple free games bonus there are no special features and no surprises. We can’t really judge its RTP and volatility and its payouts are modest. It’s certainly thematically very original, but that alone isn’t enough to recommend it.
