Meow Janken Slot by Habanero

Every spin ends with a hand of rock-paper-scissors. The reels stop, the base payline either pays or doesn't, and then a cat astronaut throws rock, paper, or scissors against a grinning star floating off the right side of the cabinet. Win the throw and your base payout multiplies by 9. Tie and it doubles. Lose and you keep what you won, no penalty. That's the entire premium structure layered on top of an otherwise classic 3-reel single-line slot.

The base game is deliberately bare. Three reels, one row, one payline running straight across the middle. The symbol set sticks close to fruit-machine convention with sevens, BARs, and a small fruit family, dressed up in cartoon-neon outlines to match the space-arcade theme. Wins resolve as three-of-a-kind across that single line. There's no scatter pay, no ways math, no cascading anything. Whatever the reels do, the rock-paper-scissors round decides what it's worth.

The base-game multiplier sits in a hexagonal chip at the top left and starts at x1. Land a Wild on the centre reel and the engine pulls a respin sequence: the Wild locks, the outer two reels respin, and the multiplier ticks up. Up to three respins can chain before the round resets. There's no traditional Free Spins mode here, which is unusual for a slot release of this vintage, and the Wild respin chain is the only sustained-play feature. Super Bet at 3 coins boosts the rock-paper-scissors win frequency, and a Buy Feature at 70 coins jumps straight into a guaranteed boosted round if you don't want to wait.

The presentation is unabashedly kawaii. A small grey-and-white cat in an oversized astronaut helmet sits to the left of the reels with whiskers poking out the visor, the Janken star sits opposite him with a wide cartoon grin, and the cabinet itself is rimmed in pink neon piping with a deep purple star-field behind it. Distant flying saucers, a bright Saturn-with-rings off the top right, and a small planetary horizon at the bottom complete the retro-arcade space aesthetic. The wordmark uses chunky cyan and yellow neon letters with a VS chevron underneath, framing the whole thing as a contest between cat and star rather than a reel layout.
