Cat Wilde and the Doom of Dead slot review

About the slot machine

The acclaimed main character, Rich Wilde, whose nickname is The Curious, goes on a journey of discovery in several slot machines made by Play'n Go. Among these are Book Of The Dead, Pearls of India, and most recently, Cat Wilde and the Lost Chapter—a new variant of the same popular theme as in the Book of Dead. In this latest installment, we again go back in time and to temples and pyramids in Egypt. Again, we play as Rich Wilde, whose place this time is taken by Cat Wilde.

Bets & Winnings

Like most other video slots, Cat Wilde and the Doom of Dead requires you to set your desired coin value to play with. Play'n Go gives you quite a wide range of options, so this game is for all types of players. It's adjustable for both those who want to go all-in and those who want to conserve their bankroll.

Wagers range from 0.10 to 100.00, which provides a proper amount of leeway. We selected a relatively low stake of 2.50 to work with, which we can recommend for those who want to play for a while on a highly volatile slot. Cat Wilde and the Doom of Dead has received the highest rating of 10 out of 10 in volatility from Play'n Go. This means you can spin the reels for a pretty long time before you get any returns, but when you do, the wins are impressive and usually larger than in low-volatility slots. The maximum payout in Cat Wilde and the Doom of Dead is a staggering 5,000 times your stake.

Functions

Cat Wilde and the Doom of Dead isn't a slot machine stuffed with all sorts of bonus features. But the ones it does have are worthy of your attention—and are particularly welcome at any time they manage to show up in one of the game's bonus rounds.

Free spins

Who doesn't enjoy a bonus around with no-cost spins? When we first tested the slot machine, we had the pleasure of obtaining the Free Spins 2 times consecutively. It took us a lengthy 22 spins before inducing the 3 Scatter symbols to appear on the reels, leading to the activation of our no-cost spins.

In the game Cat Wilde and the Doom of Dead, the rules for free spins are quite generous. You can win new game rounds while already in the bonus feature, and the number of free spins rounds you can win is unlimited.

You get 10 free spins to start the Free spins round, which is more than what you get in many other video slots online. And what you spend to activate this bonus round is to have 3 Scatter symbols land on any of the 1A, 2A, and 5E reels. Look out for the symbol that shows a compass!

Expanding Wilds

Play'n Go has a number of games that offer a Free Spins feature. In these games, a certain symbol is chosen to become an expanding symbol that takes up more space on the playing field when it lands on one of the reels and the chosen symbol is part of a winning combination. The chosen symbol then really does expand and fills the entire reel. Cat Wilde and the Doom of Dead has this feature though, like many slots from Play'n Go, it might not be the best example.

Besides the special symbol that is chosen at random when the free spins begin, there are more Wild symbols in the game that are identical in this respect. They are representations of mummified pharaohs from Ancient Egypt. There are 5 of these Wild symbols in total. The game's expanding Wilds can show up anywhere on the reels.

Symbols

Thus, the theme is based on the previously launched slot machine, Book of Dead, and the symbols of the game complement the game's theme perfectly. In addition to the special symbols that are integrated into the slot machine, there are also some regular symbols, which can be nicely categorized into high payout and low payout.

The power symbols in Cat Wilde and the Doom of Dead represent not only cat Wilde, or the god Tutankhamun, but also Anubis and a scarab. Cat Wilde is the highest-ranking power symbol in this game, and power symbols drop in value in this game in the same order that good ol' Tut judges the recently deceased. Anyway, besides the power symbols and the other somewhat more rewarding ones (which are, to my shock, not more cats), the remaining symbols that spit out some kind of wins are eerily reminiscent of those from Book Of The Dead: the letters A, K, Q, and J, plus the number 10.

Summary

If you're a fan of the Egyptian theme and the Wilde series from Play'n Go, cat Wilde and the Doom of Dead should be on your list of slots to try out. The graphics, music, and features of the game have plenty of personality, and there are new features to experience, too. This is a highly volatile slot, as they call it, with wins coming in less frequently but in potentially much larger amounts. We recommend playing it with a smaller bet because not every round can you hold your breath waiting for a win to come up on this game. Cat Wilde and the Doom of Dead works grandly on all devices, from your phone to your laptop to a casino gaming rig.
