Welcome to the world of the Lumber Cats. Cartoony slots don’t always do it for me I must admit. I think there are way too many of them available. Thus it was with great trepidation that I fired up this puppy to test it out. I was pleasantly surprised. Not that it isn’t cartoony – it obviously is. But I found the theme working nicely for me, and because of that the game is fun to play.

The details are boring but necessary. This is a 20 line, 10 coin per line 5 reel video slot; with coin sizes ranging from 0.01 to 0.2. It has a few of the modern features that make today’s slots so much fun; but not overly so. Only the Wilds and scatters animate; which works out just fine.

The game features two bonuses – a free spins and a tree climb game.

• The tree climb is a simple pick 1 of 3. You predict which cat will win the tree climbing race. It’s cute, and quick – which makes it unobtrusive, and an enjoyable break. Plus – the skinny guy doesn’t always win.
• The Free Spins game is a unique combination. You have to hit the log symbol on both 1 and 5; and a wild in the middle reel to activate. However, when it does – the entire middle reel becomes wild (with a cute animation to boot) and will remain wild for all 5 free spins. Plus, they add the logs as extra wild symbols to up your potential to hit winning combos.

The game is a return to simpler games, and is enjoyable and fun to play. I played it for this test at Platinum Play, but you can try it at any of these casinos now.
