How To Play Karen Maneater Mobile Slot
What do you do when the apocalypse hit? The Karen Maneater slot dares you to grab your pots, pans, and deep fat fryers and to start cooking all your fellow survivors.
A follow up to the xWays Hoarder xSplit slot, this particular casino game focuses on Karen, the mum of the group who is happy to use her friendly raccoon friends to slice and dice any of her 5 fellow survivors. These are the high-paying symbols, following the gun, battery, poison, drink, and toilet paper low paying symbol.
The Karen Maneater slot game starts with 486 ways to win, but the racoon scatter can increase the ways to win as can the xWays and Infectious xWays symbols, which can increase that symbols space by 2 to 7 symbols high.
The good news is that this is all about getting the free spins bonus, where you are guaranteed at least 3 xWays symbols, bigger reels, and lots of sticky scatters that will give you wins of up to 11,757x your bet. All this, and an RTP of 96% too.
The Karen Maneater slot is all about the xWays
At heart the Karen Maneater mobile slot is a 6 reels, 3x3x3x3x3 slot that has expanded reels of up to 2x3x4x5x6x7. Amongst those expanded ways to win, you also have Wild, Scatters and Free Spins.
The whole goal of the slot is to expand the reels as much as you can, so you can get more ways to win, and cook your fellow survivors in clever and strange ways. Here’s how to expand the game:
- Raccoon scatter: will expand all the reels to the right
- xWays: add 2-4 extra ways to win
- Infectious xWays: add extra 2-7 ways to win on reel 1
- Infectious Wild: Lands on reel 6. Nudges to the bottom, gets a +1 multiplier on each nudge, and the multiplier will be added to all the symbols on the last reel. It also multiplies any xWay symbols on that reel.
If you think this is complicated, walk away now. Maybe go play on the Blazin Hot 7s Big Bonus slot instead. Because it only gets more complicated, and more exciting, as it goes on.
The Karen Maneater slot free spins
Once you get your head around the idea of how the Karen Maneater base game works, the free spins are easy. 3 or 4 racoons will trigger 7 or 10 free spins.
Those raccoons turn into xWay symbols with a value of 2 ways to win each. So already you have bigger reels thanks to the raccoons, but you have a guaranteed 3 or 4 xWays symbols sticky for the duration of the bonus.
Then each time you get a win, any win, the xWays increase by +1 ways to win, all the way to a possible 42 each. We played on over 230,000 ways to win at one point and didn’t reach anywhere near 42, but we did win over 1,000x our bet.
And granted, fans of NoLimit City slots such as the Punk Toilet slot or Tombstone RIP slot may say that the top wins are not as high here, but who cares?
The Karen Maneater slot machine pays out more often, the free spins trigger a little easier, and the RTP is set much higher. If you buy the free spin bonus, it can go as high as 94.49%.
This real money game is the dirty burger amongst the fine steaks of its sister slots. Filling, a little bit dirtier, but can be just as satisfying when the mood hits you.
