If you’re under the impression that cats are cute, cuddly balls of fur that spend their lives basking around on sofas and posing for viral Youtube videos; then you are, apparently, just another one who has been fooled by these criminal masterminds! That is what the developers at Pragmatic Games would have us believe with their new slot game, The Catfather. Launched in early 2016, this slot is already making plenty of players purr thanks to its appealing theme and great features.
Theme
As if you hadn’t already guessed from the title, The Catfather is a thoroughly feline adaptation of the gangster blockbuster, ‘The Godfather’. Symbols on the reels depict a gang of moggy mobsters who have been designed in a bright cartoonish style. These well-animated characters seem to meet in a cosy living room to plot their criminal undertaking, as this is where the reels are set. Other images in the game include boxes of cats and a terrified mouse that has been tied up and kidnapped.
How to play
There are five reels and a fixed amount of nine pay lines to play with in The Catfather. Although you can’t alter the number of pay lines that are active in your game, there is plenty of room for variation when it comes to setting your betting stakes. Coin values range from 1p to 50p and between one and nine coins can be placed on each line.
Bonuses and extras
The Wild Night bonus is triggered by finding the wild symbol on the second, third and fourth reels simultaneously. This bonus works by turning the middle three reels totally wild, therefore guaranteeing you at least one winning spin. Then there is the free spins bonus, triggered by the mouse scatter symbol you will be treated to 10, 15 or 25 free spins with a 4X multiplier, depending on how many scatters you find.
