Catemple

At first glance, Catemple stands out with its vibrant, slightly tilted 5x7 gaming grid that feels almost like a pinball machine. The game is set in an extravagant cat temple, filled with statues of cats and golden ornaments, with a mystical soundtrack that adds an exotic, almost semi-religious vibe to the experience.

The game’s layout involves 35 symbols dropping into place, and players win when 7 or more identical symbols appear anywhere on the grid. There's no need for paylines or clusters here, and each spin has the potential for multiple winning combinations thanks to cascading symbols. With medium volatility and an RTP of 94%, Catemple promises a balanced, albeit somewhat unpredictable, gameplay experience.

Players can stake between $0.20 and CA$100 per spin, and for those who like to take control, ELK’s signature X-iter feature buy options are available, allowing players to jump straight into various bonus features.

Catemple features a mix of low-paying and high-paying symbols, with each one contributing to the temple's rich aesthetic. The lower-value symbols include disks featuring a mouse, fish bones, a bell, and a paw print. Higher-value symbols are represented by coloured gems—purple, blue, green, and red.

Landing 7-8 matching symbols awards 0.1 to 0.5 times your bet, while hitting 15 or more of the same symbol can award between 1x and 25x your stake. Winning symbols disappear from the grid, triggering cascading reels that can lead to consecutive wins from a single spin.

1. Golden Coins & Collect Zone:

The game introduces a unique Collect Zone at the bottom of the grid, where Golden Coins land and trigger various effects. Coins can display multipliers, instant wins, or bonus triggers. If they display multipliers, they instantly apply to the current global multiplier, which boosts all wins during that game round.

2. Feature Symbols & Mystery Symbols:

Mystery symbols can transform into various feature symbols, including:

Wild: Substitutes for any regular symbol.

Hot Wild: Creates 1-3 new wilds or Hot Wilds on the grid, which spread further each time.

Paw Strike: Removes all non-winning symbols and shifts key feature symbols, including Golden Coins and Wilds, to the Collect Zone.

Multipliers, Bonus, or Coin symbols.

Landing bonus symbols triggers the Bonus Game, starting with 3 free drops. Players can earn up to 9 free drops depending on the number of collected symbols. During the bonus, the Collect Zone expands to 2 rows, giving players more opportunities to collect valuable coins and multipliers. If a Super Bonus symbol lands, the feature upgrades to the Super Bonus Game, where the Collect Zone expands to 3 rows, making for even bigger win potential.
