Desert Cats is powered by WMS and has 7 reels and 50 paylines. Playable from 50p to £100 a spin on all devices, this ancient Egyptian themed slot comes with 1x1 and 2x2 wilds and a Free Spins Bonus feature where up to 55 free spins can be won and you’ll benefit from wilds on 2 sets of 2 adjacent reels. There’s also 5 fixed jackpots with a top jackpot of 2,000 times your stake.
With so many reels to play on, the chances of hitting even a small win in Desert Cats are high. That means the range of payouts is pretty flat in the game.
However, you will only need to hit a three-of-a-kind to earn a real cash prize at all. The low-value symbols are the royal icons of 10, J, Q, K, and A. They all pay 1x the line bet for three of a kind, and up to 15x line bet for seven of a kind.
If you were expecting a war film theme in Desert Cats, think again: the desert cats refer to the revered felines of ancient Egypt. That's why players will find familiar Egyptian symbols representing the high-value symbols. The stone tablet, green ankh, and Pharaoh's head all pay 2x to 20x for hitting three of a kind to seven of a kind. The cat statue pays a bit better at 3x to 50x.
The jackpot symbol is Bastet, the goddess of warfare in ancient Egypt. The sleek goddess pays the jackpot of 200x your line bet if you line up seven symbols on one of the active win lines.
A similar 200x jackpot can be won if you land the wilds. These are represented by the gold cat symbols and will replace all other icons other than the scatters. There are two wild symbols to look out for: a regular wild that takes up one reel position, and two wilds that take up four positions (2x2).
If you look closely, you will notice that one 2x2 wild has gems in its eyes. The other does not. During base game spins, it is possible to find two adjacent reels being replaced entirely with 2x2 gem wilds. If you hit six or more red gems, you will win yourself a jackpot.
The corresponding jackpot is displayed above the set of reels, with six red gems awarding you the Minor jackpot, worth 10x your total bet. Meanwhile, seven gems will get you the Medium jackpot, which is worth 40x the player's total bet. The Major jackpot (80x total bet) and Super jackpot (600x total bet) are awarded for hitting eight or nine gems. Finally, the Mega jackpot is won when you collect 10 colored gems on the wilds. This is worth a massive 2000x your total stake.
If you like free spins, there is an exciting bonus feature to trigger. Watch out for the majestic lions. These are the scatter symbols and they'll trigger free spins if you hit three, four, or five on the reels in any position. If you trigger the feature with three scatters, you will win five spins with a 1x multiplier. Four scatters will award you 15 spins with a 10x multiplier and five scatters will get you 50 free games with a 15x multiplier.
During the free spins game, you will find that the 2x2 wilds don't contain any colored gems. There is no jackpot for the free spins players, unfortunately. However, you can retrigger the bonus game by hitting three further scatters.
