Theme and Symbols

The theme of this online slot machine can be found upon the first look at a title, so caterpillars are the main characters in the game. They are pictured in different ways on a few regular symbols, and regular payouts also come with the starting grub and the final butterfly, but also with predators for bugs – bird and frog. Colorful caterpillars and lanterns are there to trigger the features. 

The game is interestingly designed with pretty symbols and green leaves behind the reels. 

Betting Options and Other Functions

“Hungry Caterpillars” online video slot features a common format of five reels and three rows, where only nine paylines are crossed. Players will like the fact that all winning combinations are paid from left to right and from right to left. 

The wide range from 9 to 1800 credits for the total bet is definitely acceptable for different players and budgets. Payouts in the dynamic paytable are shown in credits and reflect the current bet. 

All symbols in the game pay for three and more matching icons on the payline. 

A small caterpillar with a BAR symbol is the lowest paying one in this slot, giving up to 400, 600, and 1.000. Grubpays a bit more – up to 600, 800, and 3.000, while blue butterfly pays up to 600, 1.000, and 4.000. 

Caterpillars with colorful leaves pay even more. If playing with the highest bet, the caterpillar with purple leaf gives 1.000, 3.000, and 6.000, while the one with red leaf pays 2.000, 4.000, and 20.000.

There are also birds and frogs that bring higher payouts. Birds pay up to 4.000, 8.000, and 20.000, and frogs give up to 4.000, 20.000, and 40.000.

The highest paying symbol is a big caterpillar with the title, which pays 20.000, 200.000, and 2.000.000 when the highest bet is set. 

Special Features

Yellow-black, big caterpillar plays as a Wild symbol and substitutes for all regular symbols in order to form longer winning combinations. Also, this caterpillar gives amazing payouts – up to 20.000, 100.000, and 500.000.

When three lanterns land on the reels, the Apple Bonus is triggered. Picking the holes, players reveal different awards: wins, from 10 to 25 Free Games, or Lanterns Bonus. The feature ends when the frog eats the caterpillar, but players have the option to stop the frog once by choosing the crow. The crow appears only when the bet is higher than 45. 

In the Lanterns Bonus, players are supposed to pick the lamp, and firefly will reveal the cash prize. 

After those bonus games, Free Spins will start automatically with one random reel covered with Wilds. The Wild reel shifts one place to the left or right on each spin. 

Before the game, players can choose one of two risk games or turn them off. In ‘Card double with the dealer’, the win can be doubled if the opened card is higher than the dealer’s card. If it is not, the win is lost. The other game, ‘Red-or-Black’, offers the possibility to double or even quadruple the win by guessing the color or suit. Also, the wrong choice nulls the win.

Collecting JP points by playing rounds, players get a chance to spin the Wheel of fortune and win the Jackpot.

Conclusion

The gap between bigger wins can happen as this is a game with medium to high volatility, so patience is needed. Regular symbols give solid payouts, Wilds will also pay besides they substitute for other symbols, while scattered lanterns can award cash prizes or free rounds. In the end, we can say that the game has what to offer, so it deserves its chance.
