Alley Cats slot combines the worlds of ten-pin bowling ("Alley," right? Alley! Hey, that’s hilarious) and cartoon felines, and proves to be a fairly standard, five-reel, nine-payline online slot game/fruit machine that makes for a success ... provided you’re a kitty kat kanoodler.

And then there are the rest of us, and as far as we’re concerned the concept doesn't quite get off the ground. Like, really, how can you have a kitty kegler theme without the absolutely essential bad-taste bowling shirts? What about those eyeball-burning pink-and-purples and yellow-and-greens and with stitched logos reading Pins & 'Nip or Four Kool Kats? The best graphic we found in this game: The cute little high-paying chihuahua all tied up and serving as a pin. More, please.

Musically speaking, Alley Cats is below par but we love some of the sound effects: The purring cat sounds fabulous on decent speakers, and one wonders what sort of sound the jackpot makes. And with Alley Cats’ truly loose feel, plenty of time can be had before busting to hit the big score.

But for felinophiles and/or those who worship mighty Bubastis for the luck-bringing qualities of kitty kitty kitty, we’re going to give this one from Micrograming software 9/10. Try these and other animal slots with BunnySlots.
