It’s a fact of life: nobody can resist baby animals. There are hundreds of websites devoted to this very fact, showing the internet with pictures of tiny chinchillas, adorable anteaters, and little polar bears. But nothing beats the pets we keep in our own homes: those kittens and puppies with their big eyes and soft noises that make every pet owner swoon.
If you’ve wanted just a little bit more cuteness in your gambling, the new Pets Pay Day slot machine at Virgin Casino certainly fits the bill. Filled with kittens (and the occasional puppy), the Pets Pay Day game is sickeningly sweet – but can also make you a whole lot of money should you match the right combinations of symbols.
The basics of Pets Pay Day are quite simple. It’s a five-reel slot machine that allows people to wager on up to 25 paylines. With bets of up to ten credits per line, players have the option to bet up to 250 units of your favorite currency on each spin, leaving open the possibility of some huge wins.
The object of the game is to match identical symbols from left to right across your active paylines, with at least three of the same symbol necessary to claim a prize. As you might imagine, the game is entirely devoted to the cute pet theme, with symbols such as balls of yarn and stuffed mice making up the low-value wins. At the higher end, there are three kittens that give moderately big rewards (Fluffy, Chichi and Fudge), as well as the big money symbol: the puppy named Max.
Pets Pay Day features the two traditional “special” symbols during gameplay as well. First, there’s the Wild symbol, which appears on the three center reels. This symbol can substitute for any of the normal winning icons to help award prizes. In addition, any wins made using the wild symbol are worth twice their normal value. In addition, there’s a dog bone symbol that acts as a scatter; match three or more of these anywhere on the reels, and you’ll win a prize based on the size of your total wager on that spin.
Of course, no game about cute baby pets would be complete without some cute bonus games, and Pets Pay Day makes sure to deliver. If you manage to hit Fluffy (the white kitten) on both the first and fifth reels during the same spin, you’ll trigger ten free spins. During these spins, you’ll have a wild center reel, which will increase your chances of winning. You’ll also be able to retrigger the free spins during the bonus round.
There’s also a bonus game that accompanies any win with the scatter symbol. If you see three or more dog bones on the screen, you’ll get to make five picks from a number of symbols on the screen. Each pick will reveal either a number of bonus credits, a multiplier that will increase those bonus credits, or a number of free spins that you’ll receive after the bonus round ends. Triggering this bonus game with four or five dog bones will double or triple your prizes, respectively.
While Pets Pay Day may not have the biggest variety of special features, or offer anything innovative in the way of presentation, the theme is undeniably adorable – and that combined with the nice payouts in the game should be enough to get plenty of players to give this game a shot. Pets Pay Day is now available at Virgin Casino in both free play and real money modes.
