Phat Cats Megaways review

Theme and Storyline

Phat Cats Megaways is themed around a glitzy feline world.

Players will be transported to an alternative universe Las Vegas where cats are running the show. From slick gangsters to femme fatales, these kitties are ready for an evening of drinks, dancing, and a few games of chance.

This slot will appeal to cat lovers, especially those dreaming of a weekend in Vegas.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

The soundtrack has a vintage feel, bringing to mind a 70s night on the town. The reels spin with a subtle shuffling sound and land with a satisfying click.

The reels are filled with simple letter and number symbols that put a bit of a damper on the Las Vegas theme. It would have been interesting to add a little more embellishment to these low-paying symbols.

However, the personified cat symbols are delightful in their variety of elegant ensembles. A tiger in a golden suit stands out from the group, flames igniting behind him as he comes to life. There is no doubt that this formidable wild cat is a boss in this vision of Vegas.

Behind the reels, players will see a retro office with a view of neon-lit hotels. This creates the feeling that players have entered the inner circle of a casino owner.

Together, the soundtrack and animation create a whimsical world of cats, gambling and indulgence.

Gameplay

Phat Cats Megaways uses the Megaways system, with the number and size of symbols varying for each spin. Reels 1 and 6 will have a minimum of 2 symbols, and a maximum of 7 symbols. Meanwhile, reels 2-5 will have a minimum of 3 symbols, and a maximum of 8.

Wins are awarded for landing matching symbols in adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel and going towards the rightmost.

Players can buy directly into the Bonus if they wish by selecting the Buy Bonus option.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

The Wild symbol substitutes for all symbols except the Coin, Bonus, Mystery, Upgrade, and Lock symbols.

The Mystery symbol is a stacked symbol which has the special property of changing into the paying symbols after a spin. Reels that have a Mystery symbol nudge down by a position during the spin.

The Upgrade symbol has the ability to lock the part of the reel below its position, and increase the number of rows for the next spin. Meanwhile, the Lock symbol locks the reel below its position for the next spin.

Coin symbols always have an associated multiplier, and players will be awarded a payout equal to the sum of all Coin symbol multipliers multiplied by the value of the total bet.

When at least 3 Bonus symbols land on the reels, the Free Spins feature begins. The Free Spins feature starts with 4 active rows on reels 2 and 5, each entirely filled with Mystery symbols. After each free spin, a win multiplier increases by +1, and this multiplier is applied to each win.

The Free Spins feature continues until no Mystery symbols are left on the reels.
