NetEnt’s New Release Cornelius Serves up plenty of Tasty Treats
Cats are a staple in many homes, cute, cuddly, and extremely hungry most of the time. Welcome, Cornelius, NetEnt’s latest fun-filled, feature-packed slot is featuring the chubby cat conjuring up tasty treats in his well-stocked kitchen.
About Cornelius
Played on 5 reels with up to 1,024 winning ways, Cornelius is available to play on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices from 20p up to £400 per spin. Cornelius RTP is 96.04%, volatility here is low so expect more frequent smaller wins.
Like many cats, Cornelius is greedy and is constantly heading to the kitchen for food. The cartoon-style imagery includes a well-stocked kitchen with a chequered floor in the background and Cornelius stands to the left watching over as you spin the reels.
On the reels are the usual royal card suits, then there are the high values represented by cat food tins, cat toys, milk bottles, and photos of Cornelius.
Gameplay and Features
Wins occur after landing three matching symbols on the reels.
There are no wild symbols in Cornelius, however, there are Cash Drops, Free Spins, and a Bonus Buy-In.
Look out for the cash drop symbols valued between 0.25 and 3x, three or more trigger the Cash Drop Feature. You start off with 3 respins, each additional cash drop symbol resets the respins back to 3. On every spin, the cash drop symbols move down a row, and their values are collected in Cornelius’s food bowl.
3 or more scatters trigger 3 free spins. If one of the symbols below lands the counter resets:
Cash drop symbol – valued between 0.1-0.5x
Up – All of the cash drop symbols and multiplier symbols move up a row
Golden Up – All Cash drop and multiplier symbols are moved to the highest possible position, so they stay on the reels longer
Adder – Values of between 0.1 and 0.3x are added to all cash drop symbols on the grid
Multiplier – Cash drop and Adder symbols are upgraded 2x
Head of Business Development at NetEnt James Jones said, “Cornelius is a charming game featuring a kitty who worships food – we have all met at least one cat like this. Our teams have worked hard to create a casual game with unique features in a fun atmosphere with attractive instant cash prizes for slot players. It is high time we let the feline out of the bag.”
Thoughts……
Cornelius will undoubtedly appeal to many players if not for the utter cuteness and cartoon-style graphics. Although there are only two bonus features, there is enough going on to keep players fully engaged, however, the one negative in my view is the extremely low 1,051x the bet top prize, which is a shame.
