The design in Fat Cat has a blingy if somewhat retro feel - the reels are set against piles of a gold, bags full of cash and a sky filled with private jets and helicopters. You’ll see lower value A to 9 balls spinning around the reels alongside a sack of money and a doggie butler, both of which offer awards of up to 25 times your stake per payline. The top paying standard symbol is the feisty female cat who will get you 75 times your stake if you land 5 on a payline.
The real big money comes via the flashy-looking Fat Cat which is the game’s wild - he replaces all other symbols bar the scatter and offers awards of up to 300 times your total stake! The Fat Cat is also the key to unlocking 1 of the 2 bonus features on offer here.
Bonus feature - this is triggered when the Fat Cat wild lands on reels 1 and 5 on the same spin. You’ll then be taken to a new screen and offered a selection of objects. Pick 2 that show the same amount and that’s what you’ll win. If you find a multiplier (which can reach 5x), that figure will be applied to your eventual cash award. You could win up to 500 times your total stake in this round.
Free Games feature - land 3 or more gold dollar scatter symbols from left to right and you can look forward to 10 free spins. All payouts during this round are boosted by a 3x multiplier and trebled. You can land the pick me round from within the free spins too. Re-triggers are also possible.
Fat Cat is a pretty basic game. The visuals are cartoon style and simply done. There’s nothing particularly flashy about the features either which we’ve seen many times before. It’s all perfectly decent though. The volatility is in the medium range with wins of just over 1,000 times your stake on each free spin.
The theme might be a bit silly but there’s some potentially serious action on offer in both of the bonus features here. If you fancy a simple, retro designed game that can deliver some very flashy action then Fat Cat could be one to consider. If you would rather something more complex, Not Enough Kittens by Thunderkick is 1 to purr at.
