Locally famous media like LINE (in Japan), WeChat (in China), Naver’s application Band (in South Korea), VKontakte (VK- in Russia), Filipinos (in the Philippines) and others, together with the international SMS (Social Media Sites) – Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, Twitter etc. all convey, encompass and celebrate colourful graphics like Emoji’s, Emoticons and KaKao friends.
The latter are the popular characters, released in 2012 in South Korea (designed by the illustrator Hozo), and used in the KaKao talk exchanges with emoticons. A dog, cat, crocodile, mole, rabbit, duck, lion and more are some of the Little Friends (with distinctive names), included in the KaKao stylized line.
This is a Medium Volatility video game with 40 paylines and a betting zone up to 200 CAD. While these technicalities along with the RTP of 95.94% may seem so common, the slot is exceptional in many ways. Firstly, due to the strange reel configuration – 6×3.
Secondly, due to the super high hit rate of near 60%. But most importantly because of the tempting maximum prospect of 7500x the total bet (unusual for this type of variance). The Taiwan-based developer included several interesting elements in the SNS Friends slot, worth noting in advance:
- The game includes 6 main symbols (all Wilds), which are represented by the animal headshots. They are all unpaid and each one of them can participate in the game as a single or as a full reel (within the Wild Re-spin feature). Each Wild reel activates a Re-spin and includes an amusing little animation on a winning spin.
- The 5 standard paying symbols are represented by the cards A/K/Q/J/10 in combination with a duo of friends behind the card. Although looking kinda busy and similar, they are fun to watch and you can quickly learn to distinguish them by the cards. The highest paying symbol among the paired friends is the “A” with the dog and cat (who by the way, form a romantic couple in the KaKao line), bringing 5x/2.5x/2x/0.5x for combos of 6/5/4/3OAK.
- The above-mentioned values are not particularly generous but work quite well in the math model constructed by KA Gaming, blending nicely high hit ratio, moderate risk, the frequent appearance of the Wild Re-spins and the Multipliers (x4) for all wins in the Bonus round.
In a nutshell, if you put the kiddish topic aside and set off the sounds (irksome piping and buzzing), SNS Friends can be one exciting and considerably rewarding pastime for all players. We recommend it to everyone who favours average chance spinning with a slow but steady increase of the bankroll, rather than dramatic wagering with a vague shot at a massive win.

Fun facts about the KaKao Friends
There is ongoing controversy regarding some additional characters in the KaKao line, for example:
- The Panda personality – said to have narcissistic and discriminative hot-head nature (wishing to be the only bear in the world, loudly saying “let’s dry out the polar bears”); or
- The detective duo Cobb and Pania – who in their day-to-day pattern tend to be stalkers, sending the wrong message because the KaKao buddies are mainly used by youngsters.
All the pedagogical thoughts aside, even the disputes evoked by those personalities are capricious and zany.
Bonus Features of SNS Friends slot
- Wilds & Wild Re-spins – The 6 headshots of the animals are all Wilds. They have no value on their own but serve as a substitute for the standard symbols. Any 1 of the 6 animals can drop as a single or a full reel. Landing anywhere on the reels (during base and Bonus spins), each stacked Wild triggers the Wild Re-spin feature. You get 1 Re-spin with the triggering Wild reel sticking in its place. The Re-spins continue if you get another Wild reel. Should you be lucky enough to get all 6 reels full of Wilds, KA Gaming has promised a mysterious Jackpot.
- Scatters & Free Spins – The small Wi-Fi radar symbol is the Scatter. It is the top icon on the paytable with 50x/10x/5x/2x for respectively 6/5/4/3OAK, and the same combinations of adjacent Scatters, starting from reel 1, will activate the Bonus round. It consists of non-re-trigger-able 10/15/20/25 FS. The Wild Re-spins function is active here, and besides, all wins have a Multiplier x4 attached to them.
