Cat in Vegas Slot Machine

Pros

• 20 fully customizable paylines, as well as three different bonus games activated by three separate Scatter symbols (discussed further on in the review);
• Graphics fitting of the year it was released in – when it comes down to it, the Cat in Vegas Slot game has some gorgeous graphics;

Cons

• The game music is uninspired and can be a little repetitive. That shouldn’t stop you from pumping out your own tunes and winning some big money at the slots.

Top Jackpots & Other Bonus Features

The progressive Jackpot can take a value between $15,000 and a whopping $200,000. More on how to activate it, below. Otherwise, your biggest win should be 20x 1500 coins (the highest win for the Felix + Casino Chip symbol) – a total of 30,000.

As for the bonus features, they are activated by three separate scatter symbols: “The King Show”, “The Wheel of Luck” and “Vegas Slots.” Here’s what to expect:

• The King Show – by getting this symbol on reels 2, 4, or 5, you get 20 free spins and up 5 sticky Wild symbols for the duration of the bonus rounds. (Note: you can’t trigger the other two scatters during the free spins.)
• The Wheel of Luck – the mini-game is activated by getting the Wheel symbol on the center reel. Felix invites you to spin the wheel for up to x5 your line bet in cash prizes. You keep spinning until the indicator settles on a bonus you’ve already won. This is a great opportunity to max out your profits or recover from a really bad series of spins!
• Vegas Slots – land 3 slot symbols on the first, third, and fifth reels (any line), and you activate the progressive Jackpot. Felix proceeds to play four Vegas Slots (talk about Inception-level slot machines!) which increase your profits exponentially. When they run out of order, the round ends.

Cat in Vegas Slot – Regular Symbols

It seems to be a traditional Playtech thing to have Poker cards (10 through Ace) as regular symbols. At least this time it fits in with the overall Vegas atmosphere in the game. The Poker symbols are not as high-paying as the others (as one might expect).

The alternatives consist of Felix in three different poses. Here they are in order of their value on the reels:

• Felix holding a cocktail – he’s down to party at the pool (even got his rubber ducky floater prepared!) A max win for this symbol is 500 coins.
• Felix holding some cash – he’s worked his way up the Vegas ladder and already seeing the results – a max win with this symbol is worth 1000 coins.
• Felix holding a casino chip – his snazzy dress speaks volumes about his Vegas winnings. Felix has become top cat of the casino. A max win using this symbol yields you 1500 coins!

The Wild symbol is easy to identify by the giant golden “WILD” letters. Otherwise, the rest of the symbols (King Show, Wheel of Luck, and Vegas Slots) were discussed in the previous section

Betting Limits

High-stakes bettors will be happy to know that a betting coin can reach up to $100! The minimum coin value is $0.01, so if you’re not rolling in cash at the moment – you won’t be left out. Since there are 20 paylines, the maximum bet per spin is $2000. Quite a lot when compared to other slot games (even others in Playtech’s roster.)

What We Think

What can we say about the Cat in Vegas Slot? Graphically, it looks wonderful. The bonus games work in your favor and add a little extra incentive for your spins. The progressive Jackpot is huge, though the conventional Jackpot is a bit on the lower side of things.

Can’t complain, seeing as the bonus games more than make up for any wins and losses you incur. The 20 paylines are also nothing to sneeze at. Combine that with the huge $100 max coin value and you’re in for some great wins. If you’re lucky, that is. Try it out, see what you think – it certainly hasn’t disappointed us. Except maybe those bland Vegas tunes.
