Xmas Kenocat

Xmas Kenocat Slot Review — Evoplay

Xmas Kenocat was released by Evoplay on 23 December 2020. Evoplay, the Cyprus-based studio founded in 2017, frames the format around a Christmas theme, with a cat and a decorated tree standing in for the usual reel symbols.

Core Gameplay Experience

Xmas Kenocat’s playing field holds 30 numbers, and before each round the player chooses how many to back — from one up to five — either manually or through the Auto Pick option. Once the round starts, the system reveals the winning numbers, and every match against the player’s selection moves the payout up the pay table; backing fewer numbers changes which match counts actually pay, since the table is built around the exact count committed for that round. Autoplay runs multiple rounds in sequence without re-entering the same numbers each time.

The visual theme places the action inside a decorated room for the season: a cat moves between gift boxes and a lit Christmas tree, matching the Christmas theme Evoplay built the release around for the December 2020 launch window.

Features and Mechanics

Xmas Kenocat’s Bonus Game centers on a Gift Collection mechanic: gift boxes appear during play, and once the player has gathered five of them, a separate festive event triggers, in which the cat climbs toward the top of the Christmas tree and lights the star. Completing that five-gift collection also applies a multiplier, in the 5x–10x range, to the round’s prize. The Bonus Game feature is the only bonus round built into this title; Xmas Kenocat carries no Wild or Scatter symbols, since those belong to reel mechanics the number-draw format does not use. The RTP Range tag on the game means the return percentage can be configured by the operator; which version is active at a given casino is .

RTP, Volatility and Payout Model

Xmas Kenocat carries an RTP of 96.68% and a high volatility profile, which on a number-draw game shows up as payouts concentrated on rounds where several of the backed numbers come up, with longer gaps between those rounds than a low-volatility title would produce. Among the 4,486 slots in the catalog with a published RTP, 96.68% ranks above 86% of them, against a usual value of around 96%; on $100 of total bets, the theoretical gap between 96.68% and 96% works out to roughly $0.68, a modest difference rather than a reason on its own to choose the game. High volatility is not a rare profile either: it is the recorded profile for 47% of the catalog’s 4,744 titles, so Xmas Kenocat sits alongside a large group of similarly streaky games rather than an uncommon outlier.

Within Evoplay’s lineup, high volatility is the shared profile across comparable titles: Elven Princesses: Crown Quest, Goblin Run, Magic Chests, Courier Sweeper and Perfect Fishing all carry the same high-volatility rating as Xmas Kenocat. On RTP, Xmas Kenocat’s 96.68% is the highest of this group: the gaps to the other five titles are all small in theory — about $0.43 per $100 of bets against Elven Princesses: Crown Quest’s 96.25%, $0.64 against Goblin Run’s 96.04%, $0.65 against Magic Chests’s 96.03%, and $0.68 against Courier Sweeper’s and Perfect Fishing’s 96%. Mechanically the comparison carries a caveat: those five titles run on paylines, with Goblin Run adding cascading reels on top, while Xmas Kenocat’s number-draw format has no reels or paylines at all.

That mechanical split matters less for the size of the theoretical return, where every gap above is small, and more for how a session actually plays out: a player who wants the spin-and-cascade rhythm of a reel title is better served by Goblin Run or Elven Princesses: Crown Quest, while someone drawn to a pick-and-draw round with its own separate gift-collection bonus is the one for whom Xmas Kenocat’s format, not just its RTP edge, is the real difference.

Verdict on Xmas Kenocat

Rather than a traditional reel slot, Xmas Kenocat is built on a Keno format. That format suits players who want a quick, round-based game with a 96.68% RTP and a published high-volatility profile, and who are comfortable with a payout model that pays on number matches rather than lines or cascades. It is less suited to players specifically looking for reel mechanics, Wild or Scatter symbols, or multi-line slot structures, since none of those are part of how this title pays.
