Kitty Glitter runs nine regular symbols across a 5x3 grid: four cat premiums that outrank five card symbols (A, K, Q, J, 10), plus a Wild and a Bonus/Scatter symbol. The cats sit clearly above the royals, the Wild substitutes for any paying symbol except the Scatter, and the Scatter triggers free spins rather than paying directly on its own line.

  • Wild substitutes for regulars, not Scatter
  • Bonus symbol lands only on reels 2-4

How the paytable spread plays out

medium

A medium volatility rating fits a paytable where the top cat symbols do the heavy lifting and the card royals fill in the gaps between them. Line wins on cards land often enough to keep the reels moving, but the real payout swings come from full lines of the top cats or from stacking wins during the free spins feature, when cats can be upgraded into Wilds. That structure means the base game feels steady rather than explosive, with the bonus round carrying most of the payout variance.

Reading the Kitty Glitter symbol set

Kitty Glitter's paytable is built the way most classic IGT line slots are: a small tier of premium symbols sitting well above a run of card values. The four cat symbols occupy the top of the ladder, and reviews consistently place a white cat above an orange or ginger cat, with a calico and a Siamese-style cat filling out the remaining premium slots. Exact payout figures for each cat differ slightly between review sources, so the safest statement is about rank order rather than specific multipliers — the game itself and the code powering this page will show the confirmed numbers.

Below the cats, the paytable drops to the five standard card ranks: Ace, King, Queen, Jack, and 10. These are the low-value fillers typical of a five-reel line slot, and they land often enough to keep the reels active between the bigger cat combinations. There's no secondary tier of thematic low symbols here, no candles or bells standing in for cards — Kitty Glitter keeps the low end simple and card-based, which is a fairly common IGT design choice from this era.

The Wild carries the Kitty Glitter branding itself and appears on reels 2 through 5, never on reel 1. It substitutes for any of the nine paying symbols, cats and cards alike, but it does not substitute for the Bonus symbol, which is described across sources as a bowl or basket of diamonds. That Bonus symbol only appears on reels 2, 3, and 4, and landing three of them triggers the free spins round.

Inside the free spins feature, a second special element comes into play: a diamond symbol that isn't part of the base paytable but accumulates during the bonus round. As diamonds land, cat symbols on the reels are progressively converted into Wilds, which is the mechanic that gives the free spins round its escalating feel compared with the flatter base game. The exact numeric thresholds for this conversion aren't consistently documented across sources, so this page describes the mechanic qualitatively rather than attaching specific counts to it.

Taken together, the paytable tells a fairly clear story: cats carry the payout weight, cards keep the reels ticking over, the Wild helps stitch together partial lines, and the Bonus symbol is the gateway to the feature where the diamond mechanic does most of the interesting work. There's no cluster pay, no cascading reels, and no jackpot tier layered on top — Kitty Glitter's paytable stays close to the traditional nine-symbol, line-pay format IGT built its reputation on.

Paytable terms explained

Premium symbol

A higher-paying symbol on the reels; in Kitty Glitter, the four cat characters occupy this tier above the card royals.

Scatter/Bonus symbol

The diamond bowl symbol that doesn't need to land on a payline to pay or trigger; here it appears on reels 2-4 and starts the free spins feature.

Wild symbol

The Kitty Glitter logo symbol, which stands in for any regular paying symbol but not for the Bonus symbol.

Accumulator mechanic

A bonus-round feature where collecting a specific symbol (diamonds, in this case) gradually upgrades other symbols into Wilds.

Line pay

A payout structure where matching symbols must land consecutively from reel one along an active payline, as opposed to ways or cluster pays.

Questions about the Kitty Glitter paytable

Does the Wild symbol substitute for the diamond Bonus symbol?

No. The Kitty Glitter Wild substitutes for any of the nine regular paying symbols, but it does not replace the Bonus symbol needed to trigger free spins.

Which cat symbol pays the most on the base game reels?

Sources consistently place a white cat symbol at the top of the four premium cats, ranked above the orange, calico, and Siamese-style cats, though exact payout figures vary between review sites.

Can the Bonus symbol land on reel 1 or reel 5?

No. The diamond bowl Bonus symbol is restricted to reels 2, 3, and 4, so three-of-a-kind combinations always sit across the middle of the grid.

What does the diamond symbol do inside free spins that it doesn't do in the base game?

During free spins, collected diamonds progressively convert cat symbols into Wilds, a mechanic that doesn't exist at all in the base game paytable.

Are card symbols (A, K, Q, J, 10) worth chasing on their own?

They form the low end of the paytable and pay less than any cat symbol, so they're best treated as fillers between the bigger cat-based line wins rather than a target on their own.

Why do some paytable summaries online disagree on exact cat payouts?

Review sites describe the rank order of cat symbols consistently, but the specific payout figures attached to each cat differ across sources, likely due to different game configurations or versions.
