The Catfather Slot

The Catfather is video slot with 5 reels and 9 active pay lines. It is created, powered by Pragmatic Play software provider. I tried this video slot just recently while i was playing at Videoslots casino. I found The Catfather under the new games tab, so I guess it is one of the newest video slot provided by Pragmatic play company.

Here you will find two different features: first feature which occurs randomly is random stacked wilds. It can occur on any combination of reels 2, 3 and 4 and when it occurs, designated reels are fully covered with wilds. Second feature is free spins feature which is triggered by at least 3 scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. For three scatters you get 10 free spins, for all five scattered symbols 25 free spins. All winnings during free spins feature are multiplied by x4, so that's not bad.

While I was playing it I was a little bit dissapointed about random stacked wilds feature. I had reels 2, 3 and 4 completely covered with wilds and my winnings were only around x20 bet. At that point, with 3 wild reels I expected at least some x100 bet win. But come on, only x20 bet, really?!

Bad thing about this feature is also that it could appear only during base game, you can not triggered it during free spins where is x4 multiplier. Free spins are ok, but the paytable isn't so good. I never got any decent winnings from this game, even during free spins. 10 free spins at x4 sounds good enough to get a big win, but I had no luck on my side while I was playing. I think I will stay away from The Catfather slot, the only reason is because I do not like the pay outs here. Because of that I will rate it low, with 5 stars.

Again the Mob takes control over the streets of Chicago and this time, cats are the protagonists of the wildest nights that have recently taken place in this territory.

The previous is the story that “Pragmatic Play” has wanted to tell us through the theme of “The Catfather” slot, which has a structure of 5 x 3 reels and has been provided with only 9 pay lines.

There is no doubt that this is a fairly dynamic slot because it has been configured to pay for lines formed in both directions from left to right and from right to left, and also due to the “Random Stacked Wilds” feature which is randomly triggered by the machine and when this happens, any or all of the reels from 2 to 4 can be converted into wild reels.

Unfortunately, in this case, these powerful features came with a really tight paytable, to the point that achieving a line of 5 of a kind does not cause any emotion on the part of the player; for example, if your bet per spin is $0.09, a line of 5 of a kind, with the symbol of the jack with a mask, it will only generate a payout of $0.30, not to mention symbols depicted with letters.

The round free spins for its part, it is a breath of fresh air for our balance as this feature is usually triggered with a relatively good frequency, and also because during these spins all the wins are multiplied by x4, in addition, this is a feature that can be re-triggered.

My best round of free spins has delivered me gains up to 20x my total bet, and this has happened in a round that was extended from 10 to 20 spins with the appearance of 3 new scatters during one of the spins; not too much but it’s OK.

During my session I was able to form all kinds of long lines and sometimes even got the 3 central reels simultaneously converted into wild reels, sometimes with my bet increased by 3 or 4 levels, but in the end, nothing was enough to overcome the impact that the poor prices per line usually have on the result, and of course, I had to end my session with some losses reflected in my balance.

I think at best, “The Catfather” slot can be used to meet wagering requirements, this is if you are willing to sacrifice some of your money in the process, and obviously this is not a recommendable game if you are a gambler who loves big wins, because if that is the case, there is no doubt that you will be very disappointed playing this video slot.
