On the 8^th of June, 2016, the newest instalment in the ever-expanding Microgaming slots catalogue will land on desktop, and mobile and tablet devices.The slot is called Pretty Kitty, and based on that name, it may not surprise you to learn that it is based around cats.With a fairly hit and miss reaction to the release of Win Sum Dim Sum in May, Microgaming are looking for Pretty Kitty to receive far more consistent reviews.

Design and theme

Cats, cats everywhere, that’s what you’ll find with Pretty Kitty. The animations are pretty basic, but the graphics are fairly realistic so this creates a sense of subtlety more than poor animation work.The symbols consist of cats that become animated when part of a winning combination, and a variety of jewels.The background is a dark blue, but changes to a more intense dark red during the free spins round. The soundtrack is acceptable, although sounds quite a lot like lift music.

Games

Expanding symbols are a big perk to Pretty Kitty, whether in the base game or free spins round. In the base game, a full stack of symbols on reel one will expand to all matching high symbols on other reels.Land three or more scatter symbols, you’ll find yourself with 15 free spins to play with, again with expanding symbols included so some huge wins can land.Talking of the new release, head of product channels for Microgaming, Neill Whyte, said:“It’s not just about delivering a new and exciting game each month like Pretty Kitty; the extras, such as achievements and free games are important too. It provides our operators with the tools they need to get players through the door or to increase customer loyalty.”https://youtu.be/kKZqoPi11P4
