Cat Wilde and the Doom of Dead

Get to meet the exuberant daughter of famed Rich Wilde on the slot from Play’n GO.

Following in her father’s footsteps, Cat Wilde and the Doom of Dead is taking you back to the heart of Egypt on her own quest to uncover the lost treasures of the Pharaohs.

The developer clearly used 'Book of' slots as a source of inspiration, since their game is visually similar to other titles in the genre.

They rely on a 5-reel game area, which has a total of 10 paylines.

Cat Wilde's reel adventure is filled with expanding wilds and a free spins round with unlimited retriggers and a special expanding symbol that can lead to wins of up to 5,000 times your bet!

And What About The Theme?

The studio is sticking with the ancient Egyptian theme, with symbols that have new artwork and the background featuring great detail.

The background is set in a temple of some sort, with stone pillars filled with different carvings, and some small details like stone snakes and pots with sand covering.

Focusing on Rich Wilde’s daughter Cat, the graphics and animations are high definitions.

Symbols include A, K, Q, J and 10 royals, Anubis, Tutankhamen and Cat Wilde herself, being the most rewarding symbol.

The Eye of Ra symbol is the wild which substitutes for all symbols and expands to give you wild reels.

When the wild expands, it transforms into Egyptian pharaohs Ramses, Thutmose, Amenhotep and Hatsheput.

The title is also a mobile game which is available to play on smartphone and tablet devices, while the simple 5x3 layout works well on smaller screens.

How Much Can We Bet?

The grid used for the game is a 5-reel 3-row layout with 10 fixed bet ways. 

As little as 0.1$ is required to spin the reels, and the bets go all the way up to 100$ per spin. 

The game has very high volatility, as Play'n Go promises 10 out 10 ratings. However, the game features ranging RTP, depending on where you play, and yet the highest figures you can get is 96.29%!

The maximum payout for the game is 5,000x of the bet, meaning you can win an incredible amount of 500,000$ if you play with the max bet option available!

Complementing the dusty background is a host of Egyptian themed symbols. 

Well, maybe not so much the 10-A low pays, though a touch of styling helps them fit in with the bunch. 

The rest are the premiums, consisting of scarabs, Anubis, a Sphinx, and our heroine Cat Wilde with 2, 3, 4 or 5 in combination paying 3, 25, 75 or 1,000 x your total stake. 

Scatter symbol is a compass, and Wild is the Eye of Horus symbol. 

Moreover, we have a whole pharaoh dynasty here as Wilds. Whenever the standard Wild symbol lands, the grid expands to cover the whole reel displaying one of the Egyptian pharaohs.

What About The Special Features?

As for the features involved, Cat Wilde has nothing innovative to offer.

Though it’s not exactly a Book of Ra clone, it’s coming close enough, when we’re looking at its features, with the Free Spins feature being definitely the heart of the game.

With enough of the wild/scatter symbols in view, the game will trigger this feature for you. 

The Scatters only land on reels 1, 3 and 5, and whenever they do at the same time, you will be awarded 10 Free Spins.

As expected, a random symbol is chosen, and then, it receives the ability to expand on the reels. It’s a way for regular symbols to form combinations on all 10 lines, and if you’re lucky, it will be the jackpot symbol that is chosen. 

Along the way, there is also the possibility to retrigger the free spins for an unlimited number of times!

What Is Our Take?

Ever since Play’n GO sent Rich Wilde on his first reel adventure in 2012 on the Rich Wild and the Aztec Idols game, he’s been recalled virtually every year and sent to all corners of the planet in search of untold ancient treasures. 

However, despite the fact that this game reminds of the Rich Wilde collection, the Cat Wilde and the Doom of Dead title is still an amazing and an original game.

Play’n GO kept the design, features and payouts close to its large portfolio of Egyptian-themed slots, which is not a bad thing as such. 

The gameplay is highly volatile and comes with a capped win potential of 5,000x your bet!
