Karen Maneater

Karen Maneater Review

Based on the name alone, it seems that Nolimit City has cooked up another bizarre feast of a slot called Karen Maneater. If you look as far back as xWays Hoarder xSplit, you’ll see that Karen is not an entirely new character to star in the developer’s eccentric slots collection. She started her career as a hoarder, but this fantasy-themed slot is the mark of her debut as a frightening woman of entitlement, someone who deals with managers in the usual to NLC human-flesh-eating fashion. Plus, the developer thought it would be fun to throw in some KFC references making the game even creepier. Next time you pull up at a KFC drive-through, you might want to check what’s inside your bucket, but for now, read our slot review for some extra greasy details.

Karen Maneater Bonus Features

Karen Maneater starts at 486 win ways but can expand sky-high during its bonus features, which mainly include two bonus rounds of 7 and 10 free spins with sticky xWays symbols. Increasing multipliers, Infectious Wilds, xWays and Infections xWays can also be seen making an appearance alongside xBet and the Buy Bonus feature. The latter is location-specific and, therefore, unavailable in the UK, but increasing the base bet by 30% using the enchanted xBet option will guarantee a scatter on every single spin.

Wilds

A gas cylinder wild can only land on the last reel 6. Whenever it hits, it will nudge to the bottom spot on that reel, increasing its multiplier by 1.The higher it starts nudging, the bigger multiplier you’ll receive by the time it reaches the base position. Plus, it acts as a substitution symbol when building wins.

Scatters

Raccoon scatters can land on the middle 4 reels, and catching 1 of these naughty critters will make the reels to the right expand by one extra position. Spotting 2 scatters will convert them to xWays symbols while landing 3 or 5 will activate the bonus round.

xWays and Infection xWays

As seen in the previous editions, xWays can hold 2-4 random symbols when they appear on reels 2-5, but here they don’t expand. The numbers added to the symbols will indicate their size, plus they’ll increase your ways to win. Disguised as a purple cat, the Infectious xWays symbol can hold 2-7 symbols. It can land on reel 1 and like the regular xWays, it takes the shape of a random symbol and applies its size to all occurrences of that symbol, including xWays.

Free Spins

Unlocked with 3 or 4 scatters, the Bonus Meal feature awards 2 different bonus rounds, Value Bonus Meal and Deluxe Bonus Meal, containing 7 and 10 free spins with sticky xWays, respectively. Detailed as juicy burgers, each of the sticky xWays holds 2 symbols at the start of the round but, with every win, they have the potential to grow in size up to a maximum of 42 symbols per position. Catching a raccoon during the Value Bonus Meal round upgrades the game to the Deluxe Bonus Meal round, plus awards an extra 3 free spins to keep you going.

Karen Maneater Jackpot

A monster of a jackpot worth up to 11,757x your initial stake awaits all players who dare to cross paths with Karen Maneater.

RTP and Volatility
