DJ Cat (Push Gaming) Slot Demo & Review

If you enjoy the combination of exciting slot gameplay and electronic music, there are a few good DJ-themed slots you could check out. However, none offer the same production quality as the two offerings from Nolimit City. If you thought the soundtracks provided by DJ Fox and DJ Cat were good enough to have you contemplating a night out at your local nightclub, wait till you hear what’s offered on The Rave and DJ Psycho.

Let’s get back to DJ Cat and see what you can expect regarding payouts. Well, at this point, I should point out there’s no paytable in sight. Like DJ Fox, this slot utilises Push Gaming’s Win What You See mechanic to determine payouts. That mechanic debuted on the developer’s Generous Jack slot and returns for the third time on DJ Cat. There are five rows of four positions, but you’ll only win from those that are active. The four positions can spin in Duds, which are worthless, or numerical values of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9, and you get to win what you see divided by 10. For example, say it’s a 9; you’ll win 0.9x your stake. However, two numbers next to each other combine. So, for example, a 3, 0, Dud, Dud is 30 and will pay 3x the stake. If a Dud breaks up a sequence of numbers, each number is treated as an individual, and their payouts are added together. For instance, a 3, Dud, 3 Dud would be 0.3x + 0.3x = 0.6x.

I know it isn’t very clear, but after a few spins, you’ll start to understand how this mechanic works. The bets you can make range from €0.10 to €100.00 as standard, although the Push Bet feature I’ll discuss later can drastically change the price to play.

The reel levels vary depending on the amount you are currently betting, but on a standard spin, you start with just the bottom row unlocked. However, as you play, you can unlock further rows and even trigger win multipliers.

Arrow Symbols

Aside from the Duds and numerical values, it’s possible that Arrow symbols can land on the reels. These unlock the next row above and reward a respin of all unlocked rows.

Multiplier Meters

The most significant difference between DJ Cat and DJ Fox is that this title has individual win multipliers instead of a global multiplier for the reels. The higher the row, the larger the potential multipliers.

• Row 1: 1x, 2x, 3x, and 5x
• Row 2: 1x, 3x, 5x, and 10x
• Row 3: 1x, 5x, 10x, and 15x
• Row 4: 1x, 10x, 15x, and 20x
• Row 5: 1x, 20x, 50x, and 100x

At the start of a spin, those multipliers start at 1x, but VIP and Double VIP symbols can increase those values whenever they land. A VIP symbol on a row increases that row’s multiplier by one position. As you might have guessed, a Double VIP moves the meter up two positions. Each time either of those symbols lands, all Dud positions on all rows receive a respin.

All the features take place throughout the base game, so there isn’t a main bonus game as such. There is a Push Up feature, however, that allows you to pay more per spin to start with additional rows unlocked.

Push Up Feature

For an increased spin bet, you can choose to unlock between 2 and 4 of the rows above the default single unlocked row. The more you unlock, the more you’ll have to play, and the more you can potentially win.

• One additional unlocked row costs 2.5x your current bet
• Two additional unlocked rows cost 5x your current bet
• Three additional unlocked rows cost 7.5x your current bet
• Four additional unlocked rows cost 10x your current bet
