Meerkat Misfits Review

Developer RTP expands its slot library with a new flashy title called Meerkat Misfits, which takes players on an exciting reel adventure to the universe of crazy meerkats. Here, players will benefit from four different free spins features and numerous multipliers, which can lead them to wins of up to 2,000x the bet.

Design-wise, Meerkat Misfits is not bad, while it isn't overly charming as well. RTG has never been famous for creating masterpiece artwork, but the graphics are sharp and don't hurt your eyes. However, the old-school UI, sounds, and animations make the game feel more dated than stylish. Anyway, the actions take place across a standard 5x3 reel set, and players have 30 ways to play on each spin.

Meerkat Misfits Slot - Reel Screen

The slot comes with a betting range of €0.3 to €7.5, meaning it's more aimed at less risky gamblers. Yet, the volatility is high, so don't expect to get returns too often. What's most impressive is the striking 97.3% RTP, which is way above the average level.

The maximum win is capped at 50,000x the bet per line, or 2,000x the total stake.

The paytable includes 9 regular symbols that are split into two categories. The lower section is made up of road signs, knives, bear traps, and harpoons, while the premium lot includes different funny animal symbols. Those are in ascending order rhinos, deers, ostriches, gold chests, and a group of meerkats on a jeep. All symbols pay from 3-of-a-kind and more, except for the thee highest symbols, which need only two. Five-of-a-kind low symbol wins are worth up to 2x your bet, and premiums pay from 3.33x to 16.66x the stake.

Meerkat Misfits Slot Features

The four meerkat misfits mentioned in the title are Wild symbols, which can appear on reels 2-5 during both the base and the bonus games to substitute for any other regular symbol in a combination.

Each Wild has a Multiplier of 1x, 2x, 3x, or 4x attached to it, which is applied to all wins the Wild symbol takes part in. Unfortunately, the Multipliers do not combine when multiple Wilds contribute to a win, and only the highest Multiplier value is used.

Meerkat Misfits Slot - Free Spins

Central to the gameplay is the Free Spins feature which comes in four stages. Landing 3 or more Scatters anywhere on the reels activates the Free Spins feature, and each next trigger triggers the next stage of the bonus until level 4 is reached. Then, the progress resets and you start again from level 1. Anyway, players receive a cash prize of 2x, 10x, or 100x the stake for landing 3, 4, or 5 Scatter symbols respectively, and proceed to special reels. The number of free spins and multipliers depends on the stage and goes as follows:

Level	Free Spins	Wilds Multiplier
Stage 1	7	1x
Stage 2	8	2x
Stage 3	9	3x
Stage 4	10	4x

Keep in mind that the stage progress is individual for each bet level, so if you decide to switch the stake, the next free spins trigger will begin from the first level.

Review Summary

All in all, Meerkat Misfits is an enjoyable slot, but it has several disadvantages. Random Multiplier Wilds are cool and add bigger winning opportunities even in the base game, and free spins take the rewards to a whole new level. However, you won't be able to get a higher multiplier until you spend some time in the game, which seems kind of a rip-off.

Moreover, the max win is also rather poor, especially when considering the high level of the game's volatility. Fortunately, the RTP is quite high, which is appreciated. All said and done, Meerkat Misfits is fun but requires too much input.

Pros

• Random Wild Multipliers
• 4-tier Free Spins feature
• Impressive RTP of 97.3

Cons

• High volatility and 2,000x max win
• Higher multipliers are not available on start
