Cats and cats
In Cats and Cash, Play'N GO has focused on the classics Wheel of Fortune and Deal or no deal. If you are a little lucky with the bonus features, you will get to spin a wheel of fortune and choose from bags on a staircase.
If you imagine the character in gameshows, you probably think of just shows with glitter and glamor, constant applause from the audience, jazzy background music, fancy hostesses and presenters with swagger. This is exactly what Play'N go has in mind in its Cats and Cash. The idea is that two characters are invited to participate in a game show. The background music is pleasantly jazzy and the graphics are of the more colorful kind.
Stakes and winnings
The upgraded version of 2012's Cats and Cash offers a game idea typical of Play'n go. The game has 15 adjustable lines across five reels and three rows. Three in a row$is normally used for a win, but some symbols also pay for two in a row.
In Cats and Cash, you can adjust all three possible bet parameters. You can play anywhere between 1 – 15 lines with coin values of between 10 cents – 10$ and with between 1-5 coins per line. This allows you to play for between 1.50-750$ per game round. Autoplay and Play'N go's new automatic feature for Quick Play are included in the palette.
Cats and Cash is a slot that can bring really hefty winnings. For example, the Joker pays up to 10,000 coins on his own. Five in a row with the Joker gives this huge win. Even the two bonus games can bring real winnings. With high maximum profits, it almost automatically follows that the ”risk” becomes of the higher kind. Cats and Cash is not a slot that gives you winnings in every second spin. Rather, it is rather stingy in this regard. However, being patient can pay off. Sooner or later, the game will slam shut and give you a big win. However, the payback should be said to be very modest. An RTP of 96.07% is not an impressive figure.

Symbols
Deliciously, there are not a lot of ”fill-in symbols” of the playing card type on the reels. In Cats and Cash, instead, all symbols are uniquely designed. There are four icons that can be said to be character symbols. They represent the host of the show, his assistant, as well as two contestants. Interestingly, these symbols are not the more high-paying ones. This role goes instead to the gold bars, the diamond jewelry and the bundles of banknotes.
In addition, there are four special symbols. One is a multiplying joker. Another is a scatter depicting a goldfish jumping up and down in its bowl.
Functions
There are some delicious bonuses I Cats and Cash. However, Play'N GO seems to have forgotten to add freespins. You have two bonus games to play, but no classic round of Free Spins is offered to you!
Jokers
The presenter doubles as the joker and can substitute for all icons except for the scatter. As I said, The Joker is a generous symbol in its own right. With several jokers in a row on one line, the winnings will be clearly pleasant. If the symbol participates in a winning combination, it also gives a generous 2x on the entire win.
Scatters
The goldfish, which tirelessly jumps into its bowl, is the scatter. If you put your paws on at least two of these, you win a cash prize. Five pieces give the maximum win 400 times the bet. Because the game has no free spins bonus the symbol is only paying.
Lucky wheel bonus
One of the two bonus symbols represents a wheel of Fortune. You don't have to be Einstein or Tesla to understand that this particular icon shows the way to the bonus game in which you get to play on a wheel of Fortune. Three or more bonus symbols landing on a Payline will give access to the bonus. Note that the symbols must be consecutive on reels 1-3.
On the wheel of fortune, many different coin wins are deployed. With a little luck, you will win up to 5000 times the line bet. With a bit of bad luck, your reward will be reduced to 100 times. Good to know is that some fields are provided with stars. If you land on one of these, you get to spin again.
Choose a gift-bonus
The second bonus symbol depicts a package beautifully wrapped in red paper and with a gold-colored bow. Also for this symbol, it must appear consecutively on an active Payline, starting on the first reel.
In the creation of the select a gift Bonus, Play'N go has pretty much skimped on the deal or no deal TV format. You should simply choose a box of ten pieces on a staircase. Here you can win up to 2000 times your line bet.
Summary
Cats and Cash has always been a pretty popular slot from Play'n go. Since its launch in 2012, millions and millions of spins have been played on the slots. What attracts with the game are the big wins that are available to play home in the bonus rounds. One lucky hit here and your game balance literally explodes in a rain of coins.
We think Cats and Cash is a decent slot in terms of graphics and sound. It is also delicious that Play'N GO has taken out the turns in the various bonuses. However, it is a bit of a shame that there is no free spins round. It can also feel a bit annoying that most of it is about the bonus features. The symbols that activate them take up a lot of positions on the reels, which simply makes it harder to take home a ”regular” win.
