Meerkats are small mongoose-like creatures whose cuteness s matched only by their enduring popularity so it’s really about time they were honoured with an online slot machine. This one’s developed by Push Gaming, it’s called Meet The Meerkats and it comes with two separate bonus features to enjoy.
Meet The Meerkats is a five reel slot with four rows and forty fixed paylines; the wooden reels spin against a backdrop of meerkat dwellings complete with windows, doorbells and the like – the sort of accessories you won’t see in the meerkat enclosure at the zoo.
There are five theme-related symbols including three stacked meerkats, a telephone and a television; lower values are the standard 10, J, Q, K and A.
The wild symbol is also stacked and it’s represented by four small meerkats on to of each other; it will substitute for all others except the scatter – that’s a door which is the key to one of the features.
Bonus Features
Free Spins
This is triggered by landing three of the blue door scatter symbols anywhere in view. You will be awarded five free spins but first one of the meerkat symbols and a meerkat multiplier are determined. The symbol will appear more often during the spins and all wins will be subject to the meerkat multiplier.
Hold & Respin
Trigger this by filling reel one with Mum, Dad, or daughter meerkat symbols; you’ll receive one respin and if you land any more of the symbol on reel one or any wilds they will be frozen in place for an extra spin. This process continues until no new matching symbols/wilds are added at which point the win is evaluated.
Verdict
Met The Meerkats is a very cute slot with some addictive gameplay and tribal sound effects to reflect their countries of origin. The two bonus features add something a little different and there’s an RTP of 96.50%.
