Play Cats and Cash Slot

Cats and Cash Review

My first thoughts on seeing this slot were ‘oh no, another kitsch cat slot!’ In the tradition of IGT’s Kitty Glitter or Aristocrat’s Miss Kitty – Play N Go have created a cross between a cat slot and a gameshow theme. Compared to many of their games, this is not the most impressive graphically – though I will say it has got some appeal, if only for being such an odd mix.

The full title of this slot is ‘Rich Wilde and the Aztec Idols’, and the smooth intro video gives you a flavour of the production quality. The symbols are exactly as you’d expect, different face-masks are mixed with card symbols with stylised carvings. There is an explorer (presumably ‘Rich Wilde’ himself) which acts as the wild. There are some animations on the reels, though these are not overdone – for example the sparking of the golden temple or rotation of the ancient calendar. Sounds are a mix of drums, pipes and upbeat tones when you hit wins. When you stop spinning you’ll hear crickets and background jungle sounds. These are good quality effects, though the levels of the ‘win’ noises could do with being lower in the mix.

This game does have a bonus game, which involves a wheel-of-fortune type spinning reel. This can be accessed via two different bonus symbols, which determine how big the prizes on the wheel will be.
