Cat Wilde and the Pyramids of Dead Slot Review

Cat Wilde and the Pyramids of Dead Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Cat Wilde and the Pyramids of Dead slot has 5 reels, 3 rows and 10 fixed paylines. To get a winning combination, you will need 3 or more matching symbols from left to right, beginning on reel 1 and across any of the paylines. For the 5 higher value symbols, only 2 are needed.

Bet wise, you can spin  away from 10p to £100 a spin. As usual for a Play ‘n GO slot machine, there are 5 available stakes below the reels. Use the plus and minus buttons either side to change your bet accordingly. You will also find a Turbo Mode and Autoplay function outside the UK.

The Cat Wilde and the Pyramids of Dead RTP is 96.2% which is the go-to rate for Play ‘n GO. Importantly, it’s higher than the 96% slots average. The volatility is very high and ranked as 8/10 by the provider.

Unlike other ‘Dead’ series slots, you can win up to 10,000 x your total bet on each spin. This is double the max payout offered in the iconic Book of Dead slot. The bigger wins will come in the free spins. Just hope you Cat and the pyramid is an expanding symbol and you plenty of the female adventurer.

Theme – join this intrepid adventurer in the forbidden tombs

With an ancient Egyptian theme, the Cat Wilde and the Pyramids of Dead slot is another game in the ‘Dead’ series that features Rich Wilde’s intrepid daughter Cat. In this adventure, Cat steps into the forbidden tombs and could be her last venture. Her aim is to find the secrets that were never meant to be discovered.

Visually, you will see the pyramids in the backdrop as well as hieroglyph-rich temple columns. The soundtrack is intense yet traditional. It does feel like the setting of an Indiana Jones movie.

Symbols include A, K, Q, J and 10 royals as well as scarab beetles, jackal god Anubis, Tutankhamen and Cat Wilde. Cat Wilde is the best paying symbol with 2, 3, 4 or 5 in combination awarding 2, 20, 100 or 1,000 x your total bet.

The pyramid is the wild/scatter symbol and substitutes for all symbols mentioned above. Like Cat Wilde, it pays up to 1,000 x your total stake for 5. They don’t need to appear on a payline either. 3 or more will trigger 1 of the 3 bonus features (more details below).

Cat Wilde and the Pyramids of Dead Bonus Features

The Cat Wilde and the Pyramids of Dead slot benefits from 4 bonus features. Yes, it comes with expanding symbols in the free spins but there are also instant prizes and fixed jackpots. To play 3 of them, you need to land 3 or more pyramid wild/scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. Which feature you then play is chosen randomly:

Jackpot feature

The Jackpot feature sees you pick from 12 urns. Each urn will contain 1 of 4 fixed jackpot spirits. When you find 3 matching spirits of the ancient pharaohs, you’ll win the corresponding jackpot. Here’s what they are called and worth:

Instant Prize feature

The Instant Prize feature sees the triggering pyramid wild/scatters give you an instant prize of 5, 10, 20 or 100 x your total bet. If you land 5 wild/scatters with a 100 x bet prize, you’ll pocket 500 x your total bet.

Free Spins feature

Lastly, you have the Free Spins feature. 3, 4 or 5 pyramid wild/scatters will give you 8, 10 or 15 free spins respectively. Like with other ‘Dead’ series slots, a special expanding symbol is chosen randomly before the free spins begin. When this symbol lands, it expands and takes over the reel.

Now, landing 3 or more wild/scatters will retrigger the feature. As well as extra free spins, you will play with an additional special expanding symbol. With various retriggers available, you can play with 9 special expanding symbols in total.

Whilst this is great, filling all 5 reels with certain symbols will result in a payout ranging from 60 to 10,000 x your total bet. Here’s what a screen full of any symbol will award:

Gamble feature

Finally, there is a Gamble feature which comes into play when you get a win or finish a bonus feature. Successfully picking the suit colour of a card will double your payout. If you pick the right suit, you’ll quadruple your payout. You can gamble up to 5 times in a row. Lose the gamble and you’ll lose your initial win.

Cat Wilde and the Pyramids of Dead Review Summary – more of the same

Play ‘n GO are best known for their ancient Egyptian or ‘Book of’ style games. The Cat Wilde and the Pyramids of Dead slot is no different to its predecessors, in essence. Visually, I can hardly tell the range of games apart anymore.

In terms of the gameplay, Play ‘n GO has added a couple of extras that you don’t see in other slots. The Jackpot and Instant Prize features are a welcome addition but they are hardly unique or appealing.

The game centres on the Free Spins feature which can reward you with up to 9 special expanding symbols if you manage retriggers. This concept has been used in Legacy of Dead for example.

In summary, Cat Wilde and the Pyramids of Dead is too similar to other ‘Book of’ slots to make it stand out. On the payouts front, yes, it’s double of that on offer in Book of Dead. That said, Cat Wilde and the Lost Chapter also comes with 10,000 x bet max wins.
