Cats of Olympuss

Theme and Design

Cats of Olympuss mixes cutesy cats with an Ancient Greek theme. The action is set way up in the clouds, somewhere close to Mount Olympus where the gods lived we presume. The artwork is of a high standard, as we expect from Push Gaming. And there is a nice peaceful soundtrack to the game. Overall it’s giving off some nice friendly vibes. That might be at odds with the highly volatile game engine this studio usually produces.

RTP and Variance

Cats of Olympuss has four RTP rates – 96.31%, 94.26%, 88.67% and 85.61%. Most slot sites will run the game at 94.26%, which is Ok. But beware because some will push up their house edge by choosing one of the lower rates. You can check for yourself by hitting the hamburger icon – top right of the game screen – then the ‘?’ icon. Then, scroll down until you see RTP printed.

This is also a volatile game so keep that in mind when you choose your bet level. Push are known for producing games with a lot of volatility in their payouts so choose a sensbile stake to avoid burning out too quick.

Symbols and Paytable

Cats of Olympuss plays on a 5 reel 3 row reel set. It is a win ways game which means you need to land identical symbols on adjacent reels starting at the left most reel to trigger a win. For every symbol except the top paying premium you need 3 or more in your win way. The top paying premium requires just 2.

There are 9 pay symbols in the table. Low value ones are the card suits valued at from 0.1x for 3 diamonds up to 1x for 5 hearts. Premiums are the fish, harp, brown cat, white cat and king cat. These are valued at from 0.4x for 3 fish up to 10x for 5 king cats. The king also pays out for just 2 on a win way (0.5x).

There is also a wild, represented by a crown with a W on it. This lands only on reels 2, 3 and 4. It has no pay value but it substitutes for all pay symbols to complete win ways.

Features and Gameplay

The base game in Cats of Olympuss comes with stacked wilds with multipliers and instant prize coins. There is also a free spins round with added modifiers. Here is how it works:

Stacked Wilds With Multipliers 

Like standard wilds, stacked wilds substitute for all pay symbols. They may also come with a multiplier of 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x or 8x which is applied to any win they are a part of. And if they appear during free spins then they stay on the reel they appear on throughout the round.

Instant Prize Coins 

These can land on reels 1 and 5 only, carrying a multiplier value of 1x, 2x, 5x, 10x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 250x, 500x or 1000x. To trigger the payout you need to land at least 2 wilds on consecutive reels at the same time.

Free Spins Feature With Pick Me Upgrades

There are two types of scatters – the standard and the double scatter. These have the word bonus printed on them (twice for the double). Collectively you need to land 3 scatters on one spin to trigger the free spins round.

They only appear on reels 2, 3 and 4.

Now the game kicks into a new gear with up to 4 reel sets in play. How many are active depends on how many scatters you landed. 3, 4, 5 or 6 scatters will see 1, 2, 3 or 4 reel sets in play from the start of the round.

Before the round starts a Pick Me game plays out. You get to pick up to 5 cards from the screen, depending on how many scatters triggered the round. 3, 4, 5 or 6 scatters gets you 2, 3, 4 or 5 picks.

The first card shows how many spins you get – 6, 7, 8 or 10. All subsequent cards reveal either more Stacked Wilds in the round or removal of low paying symbols from the reels to increase your chances of landing high value win ways.

And finally, landing Instant Prize Coins on reels 1 and 5 triggers wins AND opens up further reel sets. Every 5 collected activates another reel set AND another Pick Me game for more free spins and features.
