The Karen Maneater slot begins with 6 reels and 486 ways to win. The reel layout appears in a 2x3x3x3x3x3 format. To land a winning combination, you need 3 or more matching symbols on successive reels, beginning from reel 1.

The bet levels range from 10p to £70 per spin. Click on the Dollar sign icon to see all available stake options. If you use the xBet feature, your bet will increase by 30%. This means the stake range is 13p to £91 (more details on this below). Players not from the UK can use Turbo Mode (by clicking the Lightning Bolt icon) and Autoplay. In the latter, up to 1,000 autospins can be selected as well as balance and single win limits.

The Karen Maneater RTP is 96% which is exactly the online slots average. 55.59% of that return is for the base game and 40.41% for the bonus features. There is a 94.09% version though so best check at your chosen online casino before you play.

Wins will land every 4 spins on average (4.06) as the hit frequency rate is 24.58%. As to be expect, the volatility is classed as insane by Nolimit City (10/10).

Now, the max win is 11,757 x your total bet per spin. Oddly, the max payout is the amount of sh*t in kilos a lady produces in her lifetime! This will be won once every 330,000 spins on average which is a lot lower than all other Nolimit City slots. If you want higher win potential, Tombstone RIP comes with 300,000 x bet max wins

Theme – join Karen and her raccoon gang in post-apocalyptic America

With a post-apocalyptic theme, the Karen Maneater slot is based on Karen and her raccoon gang who loot the town to establish order. She first made her appearance in xWays Hoarder xSplit by the way. In this game, Karen is stirring the pot and has taken bone broth to a whole different level.

The game pokes fun at the preconception of a Karen which is an entitled or demanding white woman. The concept has become an internet meme and phenomenon which even saw The Guardian referring to 2020 as the year of Karen.

Visually, you are taken to a fallen America. In the backdrop, it appears to have New York city buildings, the Stratosphere from Las Vegas, the head of the Statue of Liberty and the Golden Gate bridge. There’s also a fast food restaurant which resembles McDonalds. The soundtrack has a Western feel to it.

On the reels, the low value symbols are represented by toilet paper, beer mugs, syringes, battery and AK-47 icons. Then you have the higher value survivor symbols. You have a bearded man sitting on the loo (who looks like the guy from the Capitol Hill riots), a drunk redneck, a steroid junkie, a demonic Shaman and Karen herself. Karen is the best paying symbol with 3, 4, 5 or 6 in combination awarding 0.5, 0.7, 1 or 3 x your total bet.

The gas canister is the wild symbol and is actually an Infectious Wild (more details below). It substitutes for all symbols mentioned above. Other symbols you’ll come across include xWays and Raccoon scatters.

Karen Maneater Mobile

Produced using the latest HTML5 technology, Karen Maneater is available to play on all devices including mobiles, tablets, laptops and PC. The unusual reel layout is well suited to smartphone devices but a bigger screen (laptop or PC) is always recommended for the full immersive experience.

Karen Maneater Bonus Features

The Karen Maneater slot has 6 bonus features. With xWays, Infectious xWays and Infectious Wilds, there are Bonus Meal features which are played with Sticky xWays symbols as well as increasing multipliers and a huge number of ways to win.

xWays and Infectious xWays feature

The xWays symbol will only land on the middle 4 reels. When they appear, they transform into a randomly chosen symbol and reveal a symbol of 2-4 in size. This increases the number of ways to win.

Infectious xWays symbols land only on reel 1 and reveal a symbol of 2-7 in size. Now, it will affect all instances of that chosen symbol on the reels to become 2-7 in size. These 2 symbols only appear during the base game and will all reveal the same chosen symbol.

Infectious Wild feature

Any gas canister wild symbol landing on reel 6 will trigger the Infectious Wild feature. The wild nudges to the bottom position with each nudge increasing the wild multiplier by 1. The wild multiplier value is then applied to each symbol on reel 6. If 1 of the symbols on the last reel is affected by an Infectious xWays symbol, the multiplier value doubles.

Bonus Meal features

The Bonus Meal feature is activated when landing 3 or 4 Raccoon scatter symbols anywhere on the 4 middle reels. Appearing only on the 4 middle reels, 1 or 2 scatters will convert to xWays symbols. Anyway, 3 or 4 scatters will award you with the following outcome:

Once in, the triggering Raccoon scatters transform into Sticky xWays symbols for the whole feature. These are represented by burgers. Beginning 2 symbols high, it increases by 1 in size after every winning free spin to a maximum of 42 high.

Look out for Infectious Wilds on reel 6 as this triggers the Infectious Wild feature as sees the wild multiplier increase by 1 with each nudge. Raccoon scatters will only appear on the 4 middle reels. When a scatter lands, you will play the Deluxe Bonus Meal version and get 3 extra free spins. The scatter also becomes a 4^th Sticky xWays symbol.

To increase your chances of playing the Bonus Meal feature, you can use the xBet feature. This is done by clicking on the xBet button above the reels. Your bet level increases by 30% from 13p to £91 per spin. If you do so, a guaranteed Raccoon scatter appears on reel 2 for each spin. The RTP also increases up to 96.34%.

Nolimit Bonus feature

As with all Nolimit City games, there is a Nolimit Bonus feature. Not available in the UK, you can buy your way into the Bonus Meal feature with 3 different options. These vary between 100 and 542 x your total bet with the RTP also increasing:

For the Random Bonus Meal version, you will play either the Value Bonus Meal version with an Infectious Wild or Deluxe Bonus Meal version with an Infectious Wild.

Karen Maneater Review Summary – Karen is back and crazier than ever

With yet another controversial backstory, the Karen Maneater slot serves up quite the treat. Visually superb, the colourful characters are odd and unique and pay homage to a fallen America in a post-apocalyptic world.

Big wins see superb graphics of Karen acting as Salt Bae oddly. If you manage the hit the top payout of 11,757 x bet, a scene depicting the Last Supper appears where Karen appears as Jesus with raccoons at the table.

The game’s predecessor, xWays Hoarder xSplit offers 11,030 x bet max wins which is slightly lower. This is because the amount of poop a man produces is less of that of a woman (a woman typically lives longer). Oddly, no other provider bases the max win of this kind of information. This is the sort of thing that I love and relish.

In terms of the gameplay, you need xWays and Infectious xWays symbols to do their thing and increase the number of ways to win significantly. If you combine the xWays symbols with Infectious Wilds and increasing multipliers, big wins are possible.

The bigger wins will come in the Bonus Meal features with the Sticky xWays symbols guaranteeing more ways to win on every free spin. Whilst the max win is lower than many Nolimit City games, the max payout will occur once every 330,000 spins which dramatically improves your chances of winning big. In comparison, the max win in Remember Gulag will occur once every 17 million spins (that’s 51.5 times as many spins).

In regards to the top win, it will be won once every 21,000 spins with 3 Raccoon scatters and once every 1,000 spins with 4 scatters. The Bonus Meal features will take 204 spins approximately to trigger and an upgrade will occur every 29 spins (on average).

Whilst demo mode is recommended, Karen Maneater is a little chaotic, like the world it’s set in. The gameplay is explosive and can deliver big payouts on any spin or free spin. In summary, it’s another solid offering from Nolimit City which is controversial, intriguing and genuinely bizarre.
