Free slot: The Catfather

How The Catfather works

Before becoming one of the leading slot machine providers in the online casino world, Pragmatic Play started out with very simple and easy to use slots. This is the case with The CatFather. This slot was made available to players in 2016 and this one will transport you to the animal world where cats will want to catch the little mouse that is hiding in the heart of this slot at all costs. The animations are very simplistic, but they are funny effective. The CatFather is a slot machine that features a starting grid of 3 horizontal lines and 5 vertical lines. There is a feature to sink your teeth into, while bonus rounds can also be unlocked.

To trigger the only feature on this slot machine, two cats in a box must appear on a green background, as you can see in the following screen.

As soon as the symbol appears, the two cats will cling to the top of the wallpaper and the whole column becomes a wild symbol.

The different symbols of The Catfather

The CatFather is a slot machine that has several different symbols. First of all, you have the wild symbol that connects with all the other symbols in the slot, except the scatter. Then there are 5 premium symbols. These are called premium symbols because they appear less often than the other symbols, but pay more when they are part of a connection. They are represented by different breeds of cats. The following screen shows the values of each symbol for a starting bet of €1.

Then there are non-premium symbols. These are so called because they appear more often than the other symbols, but pay less consistently. There are three of them, and they are represented by the highest values in the deck: Ace, King and Queen. In the screen that are also represented the values of each symbol for a starting bet of 1 €.

The Catfather's different connections

The CatFather is a slot that has a very classic starting grid in the online casino world and its connections are just as classic. When you go to this slot, you will find 9 different paylines, which are broken down as follows.

For a connection to occur, a symbol must appear at least once on your first three connection lines. It is important to note that the connections on The CatFather slot machine work from left to right and also from right to left.

How The Catfather bonus works

As mentioned in the introduction to this slot, bonus rounds can be unlocked during your pay spins. To get them, you will need to see the scatter symbol appear at least three times on a single spin. This symbol is represented by a mouse with glasses.

By getting the three scatter symbols, you will be entitled to 10 free spins. It will be possible for you to get additional free spins, for this you will have to get at least three times the scatter symbol on a single game round again. There are no new features during your free spins and the connections always work from left to right and right to left.

Our opinion about The Catfather

For its time, The CatFather was an excellent achievement from Pragmatic Play. The animations were very well done and the concept of the slot machine with payouts on both sides was a great idea. Unfortunately, the evolution of the online casino has meant that these slots have fallen out of favor with players and when you see the low volatility of this slot, as well as its maximum payout of only 2,251 times the original bet, you can understand why they don't appear during the live streamers. As far as the theoretical return to players (RTP) is concerned, it is 96.52%, which puts it in the average range of other slot machines that are present on the market. As you might expect, the bonus purchase feature is not available to players.
