Kitty POPpins Slot Review 2024
Kitty POPpins from AvatarUX has the purrfect mix of cat-tastic features, combined with an enhanced MultiPop mechanic that will leave players purring for more!
Kitty POPpins is the latest in AvtarUX’s collection of innovative titles to feature the MultiPop mechanic, which first made its appearance in their zombie-slaying release, Zombie aPOPalypse in 2022.
It’s here you will get to witness the MultiPop mechanic in an enhanced state, combined with a cute and fluffy cat theme that we’re all too familiar with.
Cat-themed slots seem to be the new Egyptian theme, appearing more now than they did a few years back. Purrfect Potions, Fly Cat$ Dream Drop, and Wicked Kitty spring to mind, but it’s Snowborn Games‘ Cat Clans series that really stand out as some of the best.
Can AvatarUX change our minds? Let’s play on and find out!
Kitty POPpins Base Game and Features
Kitty POPpins is a 5-reel slot with 59,049 ways to win. Winning combinations are formed when 3 or more of the same symbols land from left to right or right to left, starting from the leftmost and rightmost reels.
The minimum bet available here is £.€0.20 per spin and the maximum bet available is £.€40 per spin, with plenty of other options in between the two. This game has a theoretical RTP of 96.00% and a max win cap of 20,000x.
In terms of symbols, the highest-paying regular symbol here is the Cat with the Red background, followed by the Cats with Green, Purple, and Green backgrounds. Medium-paying symbols fall to Bows, Collars, Hats, and Rings. Low-paying symbols are standard
Ace, King, Queen, Jack, Ten, and Nine.
Each time a winning combination forms, all winning symbols are removed from the reels, and new symbols will drop down to fill all empty positions. In addition to this, each new spin awards random Multipliers on certain positions. When a winning symbol is replaced by another, the new symbol has a +x1 Multiplier applied to it.
Multipliers will continue to increase each time a winning combination is formed on a position with a Multiplier attached to it. Please note, Multipliers are locked to the position, not the symbol in that position.
Ante Bet
Before you can begin spinning, you will be given the option to activate the Ante Bet feature. Activating this feature will increase your current bet by 25%.
Once active, Scatters will appear more often, meaning your chances of triggering the Free Spins round is naturally higher.
King Cat Feature
Sat proudly on his throne to the left of the reel set is the King Cat, which awards the opportunity to form winning combinations on the reels. The King Cat feature triggers randomly and can award one of the following Modifiers.
- CATilicious Respin – More Multipliers will be added to random reel positions, and the positions with Multipliers are locked on the reel set for a Respin. Those extra Multipliers will have random values and if placed in a position with an existing Multiplier, they will be added together.
- CATeriffic Re-Shuffle – Special green frames that may have Multipliers attached to them will be added to the reel set. Each position with a green frame will be highlighted for a Re-Shuffle, for the chance to form a winning combination.
- CATcellent Removal – Up to 2 Low-paying symbols will be selected at random., and all positions with these symbols will be removed from the reel set for that particular spin. New cascading symbols will include a High-paying symbol.
Kitty POPpins Free Spins
Landing 3, 4, or 5 Scatters across the reels triggers the Free Spins round, awarding 5, 8, and 12 Free Spins respectively. Depending on the number of triggering Scatters, the reel heights will also increase to 7, 8, and 9 high for 3, 4, and 5 Scatters respectively.
During Free Spins, the King Cat modifiers that were applied in the base game will also remain in play with additional upgrades.
- CATilicious Respin – The total number of added position Multipliers that will lock during a Respin is up to 8.
- CATeriffic Re-Shuffle – The number of symbols to shuffle is increased up to 10.
- CATcellent Removal – The number of Low-paying symbols that will be removed is increased up to 5.

Kitty POPpins: Our Verdict
Kitty POPins is reliable feline fun for anyone with a soft spot for cats, and a surprisingly good second addition to their MultiPop mechanic. Zombie aPOPalypse MultiPop was quite impressive, yet Avatar UX went quiet with the MultiPop mechanic in favour of their staple PopWins feature instead.
We were starting to wonder if we’d ever get another MultiPop, and we’re glad we did.
Kitty POPpins shows the potential of the MultiPop mechanic flawlessly, and at its best, it can pay up to 20,000x the bet.
In many ways, Kitty POPpins has clawed its way into our heart as one of Avatar UX’s best yet. It’s cute and cuddly, yet ferocious and firey when it needs to be.
