It’s certainly different, but DJ Cat is simple to follow once you’ve played a few spins with its ‘win what you see’ pay model and multiplier features. Here is how it works.
Win What You See
The only symbols you see in the game are CDs, VIPs, Double VIPs or duds. CDs carry a value of 0 to 9. Wins are calculated as 10% of the values displayed on the CDs. However, values are NOT added together, but read from left to right. Whilst keeping in mind that a ‘dud’ will block the sequence.
So, if you see a 5-0-dud-dud on a row then the payout would be 50 x 10% of your bet, which would be £5 from a £1 bet. However, if you see a 5-dud-dud-0 from your spin, the payout is just 5 x 10% of your bet because the duds block the sequence. At a £1 bet that is a 20p payout.
The payout changes when more than one number greater than 0 is present. So, if you have a 5-dud-3-dud sequence on a row, then the 5 and the 3 are ADDED together. That gives you an 8 x 10% of your bet, or 80p from a £1 bet.
And if you had a sequence like 1-7-8-0 from your spin, then the total win would be 1,780 x 10% of your bet. That would be £178 form a £1 bet.
In simple terms you are looking for as many numbers as possible to land without duds between them for the biggest wins.
VIP Symbols, Multipliers and Re-Spins
The other feature in the game is the VIP symbol which comes as regular or double. This activates row multipliers located on dials to the left of the reels. So, when a VIP symbol appears on an active row it will increase your multiplier for that row to the next level before a re-spin is awarded during which only dud positions re-spins whilst CD symbols are locked.
Once the re-spins are done, then your wins are calculated and multiplied by the highlighted multiplier value on the dial for their respective rows.
It is possible to land more than one VIP symbol on an active row. In fact, you can land as many as are required to boost each row’s dial to its maximum level.
These are the multiplier values associated with each row:
- Row 1 (bottom row): 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x
- Row 2: 1x, 3x, 5x, 10x
- Row 3: 1x, 5x, 10x, 15x
- Row 4: 1x, 10x, 15x, 20x
- Row 5: 1x, 20x, 50x, 100x
Finally, the DOUBLE VIP symbol causes the multiplier dial to increase by two positions rather than one.
Push Up For More Active Rows
You can also play with more than one row active on your initial spin by activating the Push Up feature. This requires an increased stake as follows:
- 2.5x your stake: 2 rows active on initial spin (96.39% RTP)
- 5x your stake: 3 rows active on initial spin (96.27% RTP)
- 7.5x your stake: 4 rows active on initial spin (96.25% RTP)
- 10x your stake: 5 rows active on initial spin (96.37% RTP)
