Game Overview

If you’ve been a regular online slot player for the last ten years, then you’ll have undoubtedly seen your fair share of Egyptian-themed slots, and I think I could confidently say that if you had no idea what any of the symbols were in the games initially, you could now reel off most of them and sound like an expert archaeologist. So, going under our review microscope today, we have the Play’n Go slot, Cat Wilde and the Doom of the Dead. This 5-reel game features 10 fixed ways to win, an RTP of 95.29%, and a maximum win of 5,000x bet.

Historically, the base game in the “book” style of slots can be very bland, but we do have a minor addition in Cat Wilde & the Doom of the Dead that helps break up the monotony. This comes in the form of the wild symbol, which will expand into a full reel wild anytime that it lands in view. The main feature to aim for, though, is the free spins bonus triggered when at least three scatters land in view. Once your expanding symbol has been randomly awarded, you’ll hope to see it land on as many reels as possible to rack up the wins.

With so many slot games to choose from in this genre, it can be a potential minefield regarding what you should play and steer clear of. However, as luck would have it, we’ve got a free Cat Wilde & the Doom of Dead demo slot you can try below to see if this is an Egyptian game that ticks all of the boxes for you.

Cat Wilde & The Doom Of The Dead Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols

Cat Wilde & The Doom of the Dead slot paytable

With 1,000s of free slots online for you to play on our demo platform, you’ll hardly be surprised to learn that we have a dedicated section for Egyptian slots, as there are just so many of them with pretty much every game provider you can think of adding at least one slot to their portfolio. As always, though, we’re ready to throw a couple of suggestions your way of games that we think you should try within this niche, so make sure you go check out the Legacy of Dead slot, or if you want to go back to where it all began, fire up the Book of Ra demo for some real retro gambling.

Let’s return to Cat Wilde and the Doom of the Dead and make our way to the paytable, where we can see that our trusty adventurer Cat is the most valuable symbol, returning 100x the bet for a five of a kind win. Next comes the Mummies Mask at 25x, with Anubis following at 10x, whilst the Scarab Beetle completes the premium paying section with a payout of 7.5x for a full line of five. Moving on down to the low pays, we have the classic royal cards in play with the Ace and King sharing rewards of 3x, and the Queen, Jack and Ten, all with equal payouts of 2x if five hit across a payline.

Starting your Egyptian adventure with Play’n Go and Cat Wilde and the Doom of the Dead can begin from as little as €0.10 a spin with the maximum price per play on the slot reaching €100. As with all PNG slots, there are plenty of options within this range, ensuring players of all budgets can find a comfortable entry point compared to their balance.

Cat Wilde & The Doom Of The Dead Slot Base Game & Modifiers

Cat Wilde & The Doom of the Dead slot base game

Played on a 5×3 reel matrix, Cat Wilde and the Doom of the Dead features 10 fixed paylines that remain active throughout the base game and free spins feature. A win is awarded when at least three matching symbols (two in the case of the premiums) land on a payline beginning from the leftmost reel first.

Expanding Wild

Whenever a wild symbol lands on the reels, it will expand the full length of that reel, potentially helping you to create more wins. Furthermore, the wild shares the top spot on the paytable along with Cat and will award 100x the bet if five lands in view.

Cat Wilde & The Doom Of The Dead Slot Bonus Features

Cat Wilde & The Doom of the Dead slot free spins feature

To enter the free spin bonus on Cat Wilde and the Doom of the Dead, you will need to land a scatter symbol on reels 1, 3, and 5. These are the only reels on which the scatters appear, and triggering the bonus will award you 10 free spins. Before the action gets underway, you will be taken to the symbol wheel. The pointer will spin and randomly stop on a symbol from the payable. This will be your expanding symbol for the duration of the free spin bonus.

Free Spins Feature

The main aim during the free spins is for your selected symbol to land on as many reels as possible. If you have a lower-value symbol, you will need to land one on at least three of the reels for the symbols to expand. If you were awarded a premium-paying symbol, you will only require two symbols to land for them to expand and pay you a win.

Slightly different to most slots in this genre, the wild symbols can also substitute for your selected symbol during the bonus. So if, like in our screenshot above, you land three symbols and two wilds, all of them will expand to pay you as a five of a kind win over 10 paylines. Finally, landing three or more scatters in view during the bonus will re-trigger the feature and give you ten more free spins.

Pros

Two bonus features to trigger.
Free spins seem to activate with relative frequency.

Cons

Below average RTP.
Low maximum win cap of 5,000x.

Cat Wilde & The Doom Of The Dead Slot Review Final Thoughts

Cat Wilde & the Doom of the Dead is a very tidy and graphically sound release, which you would expect from Play'n Go, but other than that we always think it is down to personal preference when it comes to games within this genre of slot. Yes the expanding wild is nice and it's good that it helps out in the bonus, but we've seen a version of this in Big Time Gaming's Book of Gods slot, so it's far from being ground breaking or original.
