The latest slot release from Maltese gambling software provider Playson is titled Bozo Cats, and there’s something about it which just feels strangely familiar. Is there another online slot based around a popular pet animal that uses an almost identical visual style, maybe? I can’t quite put my finger on it. Ah well, I’d better get on with the review – I don’t want to end up in The Dog House. This 20 payline slot has a top jackpot of 10,000x the total stake, and whilst the developer has yet to publish the RTP data, I feel confident in predicting that it will be right around 96% based on the stats attributed to Playson’s previous 20 releases.
Almost all of the noteworthy features included in Bozo Cats are contained within its two free spin modes, each of which requires a slightly different combination of symbols to activate. The reels include two different variants of scatter – normal and golden –and you’ll need at least one of the golden variety to trigger the enhanced ‘super’ free spins. I didn’t have much luck hitting any golden scatter myself, so I was pleased to see that a gamble feature has been included, which offers the chance to upgrade a set of the regular free spins. A bonus buy facility has also been built into the game, which may come in handy if even the regular scatters are proving to be elusive!
Which type of animal is your preferred four-legged friend? Whether you are a cat person or a dog person, either kind is a huge responsibility – thankfully, our free demo slot of Bozo Cats cleans up after itself! You can find it below, but be warned, it still needs feeding!

Bozo Cats Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
Who are you calling a bozo, Playson?! My beautiful cat Eliot probably wouldn’t appreciate such a nickname! She is a little menace though, if I’m honest, and I’m not sure that nickname would fare much better with her! Here in the United Kingdom, cats and dogs share roughly equal popularity as household pets. This makes a sharp contrast to many other countries, where dogs outnumber their feline cousins by almost two to one. The same seems to be true regarding online slots, too – we’ve reviewed countless dog-themed games here at Demoslot, but only a handful of cat-based machines such as Cats of the Caribbean or Phat Cats Megaways. I thought that the cat was meant to be the internet’s natural spirit animal. Come on slot developers; you’re letting the side down!
The reels in Bozo Cats are packed with cute-looking cats, starting with a very serious-looking black and white specimen with a payout of 30x the total bet for a full payline of five of a kind. A big, blue-eyed smiling cat takes the second place spot with a return of 20x for all five of her symbols. Then we have a rather startled-looking ginger number boasting a 12.5x return for a complete payline. The final high-paying cat symbol is one of the rare breeds, I believe – a Bengal maybe? If my poor description is failing you, then you can spot him by his green border or perhaps by his payout of 10x for a five of a kind combination. Next, there are two medium pays – a fabric mouse and a ball of wool – and these offer returns of 7.5x and 5x, respectively. Finally, the low-paying royal symbols are divided into two groups, with the Ace/King paying 2.5x and the Queen/Jack/Ten all sharing identical returns of 1x for all five symbols.
Two buttons underneath the playfield allow you to increase or decrease the current bet, or you can click between them to open a quick-bet selection page. There are roughly two dozen wagers to choose from, with minimum/maximum limits of €0.20 and €100.00, respectively.
Base Game & Modifiers
After loading Bozo Cats, you will be presented with a typical 5×3 video slot layout spanned by 20 fixed paylines. Wins are awarded for three or more matching symbols in succession starting at the leftmost reel, except the scatters, which pay independently of the paylines.
Multiplier Wild Symbols
Wilds only appear on reels two, three, and four, which means it is impossible to hit a full payline of these symbols. Don’t be too disappointed though, as each wild will randomly take a 2x or 3x multiplier immediately after landing.
When a winning payline includes more than one wild symbol, the total win will be multiplied by the product of all wild multipliers. For example, three 3x multipliers = (3x3x3) = 27x total multiplier.
Bozo Cats Slot Bonus Features
Bonus scatter symbols are present on all five reels, but only three are required to trigger the free spin bonus round. A three-scatter trigger will award nine free spins, while four or five scatters award 12 or 15 free spins. If one or more golden scatters are featured within the triggering combination, the enhanced Golden Free Spins will activate instead.
Free Spins / Super Free Spins
Before you start your free spin bonus round, the game will offer you the chance to risk your spins for the chance to activate up to five win-boosting upgrade features. This allows you to upgrade a set of regular free spins to the super variety or even upgrade a set of super free spins even further with bigger multipliers, extra spins, or guaranteed wilds.
It’s often tempting to take a risk for the chance to activate some additional bonus features, but in the case of Bozo Cats, I genuinely feel that the risk probably isn’t worth it! My justification for this is that every set of free spins includes sticky wild symbols anyway. So if you hit a large number of these, you will score a big win regardless of whether you activate all five possible enhancements!
Bonus Buy
The bonus round is easily the most exciting aspect of Bozo Cats, so it’s great to see that Playson has included a bonus buy facility allowing you to go straight there. There’s no option to purchase the super free spins, unfortunately, but 80x the normal price per spin will get you 9, 12, or 15 of the regular ones.
Bozo Cats Slot Review Final Thoughts
Bozo Cats is close to being a carbon copy of Pragmatic Play’s The Dog House, but that won’t stop you from having fun playing it! The bonus round is exciting too, and the best part of all is that the jackpot offered here – 10,000x – is roughly 33% higher than what was available in Pragmatic’s original.
