Cats comes to us from International Gaming Technologies and is a 5-reel, 30-payline slot involving an entire world overrun with a bunch of wild cats.
These cats have superpowers because they can double your wins. Like most great online slot games, Cats has exciting features like scatters, wilds, free spins and split symbols. This game loads quickly and can be played on both Mac and Windows computer operating systems.
The theme of this game is obviously cats, and these are wild ones. The setting seems to be someplace in the continent of Africa, maybe the savannah plains.
You should understand that most, if not all, wild cats prefer living in hot areas with little vegetation so they can see their prey from miles away. Should you ever travel the savannah grasslands, you might find that the grass very easily hides the colours of the wild cats.
But don't worry, you don't have to travel thousands of miles to play this great IGT slot machine.
Cats slot features
IGT has done a great job creating the features in Cats. The Auto Play feature automatically lets you make from 10 to 50 spins, meaning you are not required to stop playing each time you want to take a break.
All you need to do is use Auto Play, and your wins will automatically be added to your account. Due to legislation, UK licensed slots casinos have disabled the autoplay option.
Another great feature is the Split Symbols, whereby every Cat comes in two variations, either single or double.
The singles have just one cat, and the doubles have two cats. Each reel displays both versions of every cat. The number of matching cats popping up on a line determines all winning combos in the main game, not just the number of matching symbols you get.
Double symbols are, of course, the most profitable since five popping up on an active line gets you ten cats that match.
IGT's Cats slot bonuses
You can trigger the Free Spins by having five or more Paw Prints pop up on reels 2, 3, and 4.
The Paw Prints, like the Cats, come in both singles and doubles.
If four Paw Prints pop up on reels 2, 3, and 4, you win 2X your stake. With five Paw Prints appearing on reels 2, 3, and 4, you win 5 free spins. If six Paw Prints pop up on reels 2, 3, and with four, you win 10 free spins.
All bets and paylines played during the bonus round are the same as the bets and paylines that activated the feature. During the Free Spins mode, all the control buttons are inactivated. When the free spins run out, or you happen to win the big prize of 10,000 coins, the bonus round ends.
If you get a Split Symbol in a winning combo, it counts double, acting as two symbols. All your bonus and scatter wins get added to your payline wins.
Cats slot: our verdict
