King of Cats Megaways™

Theme and Design

Two Game Modes With Superb Audio-Visual Production

Big Cat and Safari slots are one of the most common types of online slot game so if you want to make one that stands out, it better look the part. Big Time Gaming have satisfied that requirement by creating a beautifully rendered backdrop that switches between African Savannah for Lion mode, all golden grasslands, and deep, dark jungle with turquoise sunlight for Puma mode. In the background a relentless, pounding African drum and electro soundtrack accompanies your spins and every time a big cat wild lands it gives a menacing growl. It looks and sounds great and signals another top quality game from a top tier developer.

RTP and Variance

King of Cats Megaways has two modes, each with a very slightly different RTP. The lion mode has a 96.72% RTP and the puma mode has a 96.7% RTP. Both are above average for an online slot game and give a good potential return on your wagering. This is also, as you would expect from a Big Time Gaming slot with the Megaways engine, a high variance game, so it will be volatile with an uneven pay distribution. However, it does have the potential to kick out some massive wins too!

Maximum Win

The top payout here is 56,620x which is big, even for a Megaways slot. You can find more games like this in our list of slots with the highest maximum wins.

Symbols and Paytable

King of Cats Megaways plays on the standard Megaways reels set with 6 reels, each displaying up to 7 rows of symbols on each spin. This is a Win Ways game which means you only need to land 3 or more identical symbols on adjacent reels, regardless of their row position, from left to right starting at the left most reel, to trigger a win.

That creates up to 117,649 paylines per spin (7x7x7x7x7x7).

The paytable has 10 symbols. There are 6 low value symbols which are the cards, 9, 10, Jack, Queen, King and Ace. These are valued at from 0.1x for 9 9s up to 0.8x for 6 Aces. The premiums are the four gemstones, green, blue, red and purple. These are valued at from 0.25x for 3 greens up to 25x for 6 purples.

There are also Wilds that substitute for pay symbols to complete paylines but have no pay value of their own. These appear only on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Features and Gameplay

The extra features in King of Cats are limited. There are no Cascading Wins, which is unusual for a Megaways slot. However, there are TWO play modes which you can switch between at your leisure on every spin. Each mode has its own configuration of Wilds and Free Spins which work as follows:

Lion Mode – Supersized Wilds and Free Spins With Progressive Multipliers

The Lion Mode is all about super-sized wilds that appear as a lion. These can be 2x2, 3x3 or 4x4. The good part is, they come with multipliers of 4x, 9x or 16x respectively.

If you land 3, 4, 5 or 6 scatters on one spin then you will get 8, 12, 16 or 20 free spins. And now, the same wilds as from the base game come with a 2x, 5x or 8x multiplier and now those numbers INCREASE by 2x, 5x and 10x every time a wild lion lands. That gives you the chance to REALLY build some BIG wild multipliers values.

And finally, you can re-trigger the free spins simply by landing 3 or more scatters once more.

Puma Mode – Fully Wild Reels and Free Spins With Progressive Multipliers

In Puma Mode the set-up is different. Now you have up to THREE full reel wilds that appear as the puma. These come with their own multipliers of either 2x, 3x or 4x.

This time the free spins configuration is a little different too. Landing 3, 4, 5 or 6 scatters will get you 15, 18, 21 or 24 free spins. When a Puma Wild lands on any spin it will show a 2x, 4x or 6x multiplier. And these grow too, so that each time one appears on the same reel, then the multipliers grow by 1x, 2x or 3x respectively.

And again, it’s possible to re-trigger the free spins simply by landing 3 or more scatters once more.
