The Catfather: Part II Slot Review

Pragmatic Play’s new Catfather: Part II slot machine is a sequel to their already much-loved slot machine game, The Catfather. As you may have guessed from the title of this game, it is a cat-based, gangster-themed video slot, and a comical one at that.

The Catfather slot machine contains plenty of kitty bling but is otherwise devised as a standard Pragmatic Play developed slot.

In short, don’t expect too much in the way of originality save for this slot’s theme. Although the number of casinos carrying games from Pragmatic Play is limited, you should be able to find the slot at all casinos which do offer their titles.

Developers

Pragmatic Play has had an up and down relationship with the online casino world. In some regards, they are considered one of the least trustworthy developers, given that their games are often not as user-friendly, or as fair as other developers slots.

They have tried to change the imagine, though, and certainly, not everybody believes it to be true. What you get with the Catfather: Part II slot is a more balanced game, which should be agreeable to most players in the online casino gaming world.

Gameplay isn’t too different from their previous efforts like we’ve said, but they have made amendments to the amount you can win, and how frequently wins occur.

How to play

The Catfather: Part II contains a standard menu bar. It is not glorious or even visually appealing by any standards. It is enough to get the job done, though, as is often the case with some many elements of Pragmatic Play games.

The Catfather: Part II’s wagering menu can see you select coin values which range from $0.01 up to $0.50, and you can bet as many as 10 coins per line.

All 30 lines on this 5-reel video slot are fixed into place, though. Expect to be able to wager anything from $0.30 per spin, up to $150 a spin on this slot.

Features

Wild symbols: The two black cats act as a wild symbol in this slot machine. Wild symbols can substitute for all other icons, save for bonus symbols, and double up as the best paying symbols in the slot machine game. Before any spin, wilds may expand to occupy whole reels at random.

Bonus symbols: Bonus symbols appear as golden briefcases. These symbols can trigger a free spins feature if 3 or more land anywhere on the reels.

As well as triggering the free spins bonus, the symbols will also offer players scattered wins worth 1x, 5x, and 15x their total bet, when 3, 4 or 5 appear in any position on the screen during a spin.

Free spins bonus: Players will begin the bonus round with 10 free spins no matter how many scattered bonus icons they land on the reels of the base game. During the feature, another 10 free spins can be won by landing 3 more bonus icons during gameplay.

There is no limit to the number of times you can retrigger the free spins bonus. During the free spins bonus, every spin will see the randomly triggered stacked wild feature appear on at least one of the 5 reels in the game.

Maximum pay-outs

As we said earlier on, the wild symbols are the best-paying symbols in this slot machine. If a player is fortunate enough to land 5 of them on any payline in the game, they will win 5,000 coins.

Of course, if you manage the same with stacked wilds, the total amount you win will be considerably greater than that.

Summary

Truth be told, although Pragmatic Play has made visible efforts to provide more frequently occurring wins in their games, and The Catfather: Part II’s theme is original and creative; the slot is still a little bit behind the quality most of us have come to expect.

It doesn’t break any new ground in terms of features, leaving it a basic, and standard run-of-the-mill video slot if we’re being totally honest.

Credit to Pragmatic Play for upping the bar in their own games, but The Catfather: Part II isn’t likely to have too many developers jealous, envious, or quaking in their boots.
