cornelius slot theme, stakes, pays & symbols

The title of this game, Cornelius, is also the name of its protagonist – a huge, fat, orange-looking cat that strongly resembles Garfield to my eyes. You can see him chilling out to the left of the reel set during the base game, and he appears to be standing around in his kitchen the entire time waiting for more food… just like most cats then! Garfield did get a slot of his own several years ago titled “Garfield & Friends” and was supposedly developed by Bwin exclusively for their casino. I’m surprised there isn’t a bigger licensed slot than that based on the character, to be honest, as Garfield holds numerous records as far as comic books are concerned. That surprised me too, if I’m honest – Garfield sold more comics than Batman? Surely there must be some mistake!

Our eponymous friend Cornelius tops the paytable with a return of 40x your bet for a full pay way of five-of-a-kind – he looks rather happy with himself on his symbol, and I guess you can’t blame him… 40x isn’t a bad return for a game that has over 1,000 pay ways! A tin of food takes the second-placed spot, but there is a huge drop down to 20x for all five of those symbols – I guess Cornelius took up a whole bunch of this game's RTP! A jar of milk is next with a payout of 15x for five-of-a-kind, followed by a fish at 10x, then five royal symbols. The Ace symbol deserves a special mention as it has a return of 7.5x, whilst the rest of the royals are only worth 1x to 1.5x the bet for all five, which makes the Ace seem like it belongs in the high-paying group to me.

As for choosing your bet, clicking on the stack of coins to the left of the spin controls will open a whole screen of betting options – you can’t fault NetEnt for the level of choice given to players here, as there must be close to 50 intervals between the minimum bet of €0.20 and the maximum bet of €100.00 per spin.

base game & MODIFIERS

Most of your time playing Cornelius will be spent in the base game, which is a 5x4 grid featuring 1,024 payways. Any combination of three or more matching symbols on adjacent reels starting from the left will award a win, but it is the special symbols that you’ll be looking out for.

I would class all of the features triggered by those special symbols as bonus rounds, so we’ll move straight on to the next section; It’s a shame that NetEnt didn’t include a modifier or two, but between the Cash Drop and Free Spin features I can’t see many players getting bored whilst playing this game.

So many online slots contain just a single free spins bonus round, and whilst that can sometimes be a good thing – it means that the developer can make the bonus round particularly generous – it can also make games a little dull and predictable.

For me, NetEnt’s decision to include some special features in their Cornelius online slot is a good one. Yes, you have more than one set of scatter symbols, and yes, that means that special symbols can block some regular line hits, but that didn’t happen too often whilst I was playing.
