Kasharoo appears to be a game that is heavily inspired by Australia’s Outback, featuring a lot of animals from that continent, including Koala bears, kangaroos and even some native people, decorated with tribal drawings and holding boomerangs. The game looks decent enough, especially since I haven’t seen many titles out there with a theme inspired by the native people of Australia. It’s also a slot machine which comes from IGT.
You have access to 30 lines on 5 reels when you play Kasharoo. The game also has free spins, multipliers, a scatter symbol and a wild. You can win $4,000 at most while you play it.
Features of Kasharoo
Part of the list of features that Kasharoo offers would be the wild symbol, the free spins, multipliers and something called a Mystery Prize Multiplier.
We have the Kangaroo symbol for one of the major roles of the game, the wild symbol. It’s often used in modern slot machines, so it’s no surprise that it makes an appearance here as well. The limitations it comes with are the surprise though, the symbol being only allowed on the 2nd and the 4th reels.
However, there is something that the developer did to make up for that. Get both the 2nd and the 4th reel wilds to appear at the same time, and a multiplier will be offered. A Mystery Prize Multiplier, when triggered, will give you a prize worth between 1x and 30x the round’s wager.
The scatter symbol, which is represented by the image of a Crocodile, will be useful in a couple of ways. First of all, you will get paid whenever 2+ such symbols appear. The payouts vary between 5x and 100x the bet value. Second, you can use it to get access to the free spins.
Free Games Feature
The presence of 3 or more Crocodile symbols on the reels will bring you the free spins feature, in addition to the cash prizes I mentioned above. You are given a fixed number of free spins, 20 rounds being part of the feature. You also get 2x multipliers for most wins, with the exception of the ones from the last three spins, which get 3x multipliers.
To retrigger this feature, with another 20 free spins, all you need is an additional 3+ Crocodiles scattered around.
Once the free spins end, you get the option to gamble half of your wins, on a wheel of fortune.
Betting options and jackpots
It’s not a very expensive title, requiring only up to $0.40 per line. Since 30 lines are available, you can place a bet of up to $12 on a single spin.
The top reward of Kasharoo is worth 10,000 coins, coming from the Native symbol. It will be worth up to $4,000.
Design and symbols
The game clearly tries to make its characters and wild animals cute to look at, and it largely succeeds at that. The theme is clearly inspired by the aboriginal people of Australia, especially when you look at some of the letters and numbers which appear among the symbols. It’s not a great looking title, but it does OK enough.
Symbols: Kangaroo (wild), Crocodile (scatter, 100x bet), Australian Aborigine (10,000 coins), Guide (3,000 coins), Koala (300 coins), Grilled Meat (250 coins), Beer (250 coins), Hat (200 coins), Ace (200 coins), B (150 coins), 1 (150 coins), 2 (100 coins) and 3 (100 coins).
Is It Worth Playing?
Don’t expect to be impressed with the design, but you will not have to wager a lot of money and the rewards are quite good.
This Kasharoo slot is offered by all online casinos with IGT software, playable either in practice or in real money mode.
