Big Win Cat Slot Review

How to Play

Before you can spin the reels, you must first select your coin-size and betting range. The minimum bet is just 5p a spin while the maximum is £100. For a new slot, Big Win Cat is slightly unusual as it uses a 3×3 set of reels as opposed to the regular 5×3 format. However, this doesn’t mean you’ll win or lose more often, and the fast-paced gameplay may appeal to many slots players. All the game’s symbols match the theme, with the maneki-neko is the game’s wild symbol and it can substitute for any other symbol in the game. The aim is simple: just match symbols across the fixed paylines which forms winning combinations. It’s also the game’s highest value symbol, match 3 in a row to win 24x your initial bet.

Jackpots

You may think that a cartoonish, playful slot won’t have too much to offer in terms of big payouts, but you’d be wrong! Big Win Cat’s special features can award up to 800x your stake on every spin. Admittedly, the winnings in the base game aren’t particularly exciting, the most you could win is 24x your stake, however, winning combinations come thick and fast and the special features are triggered regularly. The slot has a medium volatility and the return to player (RTP) currently stands at 96.2%

Special Features and Bonuses

• Respin of Luck feature: The Respin of Luck feature is triggered whenever the same symbol appears stacked on any 2 reels and there aren’t any other winning paylines. The stacked symbol will remain fixed during the Respin of Luck round which gives you a much better chance of landing a winning combination.
• Wheel of Multipliers bonus mini-game: This is the game’s standout feature and it’s also the one that provides the biggest wins in the slot. To activate the Wheel of Multipliers mini-game you need to land the same symbol in all reel positions at the same time. When this happens, the screen changes and a giant prize wheel appears. Each dial on the reel contains a multiplier and you have one chance to win. The multiplier will then be applied your original stake or win in the base game. The highest multiplier is 10x.

Graphics and Sounds

If you’re looking for a video slot with HD graphics, cascading reels, 3D visuals and film clips then Big Win Cats probably isn’t for you. However, if you prefer a fast-paced game with lots of wins, simple bonus features, and cutesy graphics which don’t detract from the gameplay you should give it a try. The game is set in a novelty, Asian themed shop which specializes in selling adorable Japanese cat figurines, known as Maneki-Nekos, and the audio track is fun, upbeat, and really adds an element of fun to the game.

Conclusion

Truthfully, this may not be one of Play ‘N Go’s finest slots, it’s not the most innovative in their back catalogue and there’s nothing especially unique about it. However, wins in the base game and the stacked respin feature do occur regularly and you can expect to win often, if in lesser amounts. The bonus mini-game prize wheel is a delightful extra but it’s extremely hard to activate it. The graphics are well drawn and colorful but they aren’t overly exciting. Overall, we think this is more of an introductory slot for new players, or for players who prefer their slots a little out of the ordinary.
