Catch the Luck Game for Free – Demo & Review

This release certainly falls behind other animal-themed slots like Fortune Mouse (RTP 96.96%) or Fortune Ox (RTP 96.75%) in terms of the RTP rate and the general payout potential. At the same time, unlike Chicken Road by In.OutGames or Pirots 3 by ELK Studios, the game features a Bonus Buy option, allowing players to jump straight into the heart of the action. In terms of the max win, which sits at 1,784x the bet, the game is within the average range for its genre, with most games not exceeding 2,000x in terms of the top reward.

At first glance, it doesn’t look like the slot brings anything new to the genre. And, unfortunately, this turns out to be true. After a relatively short gaming session, we realised that this is just a well-designed, beautifully crafted wrapping. There are all the same features we are accustomed to: sticky Wilds, multipliers (and relatively low ones at that), and free spins. While still being advantageous, these perks barely bring anything new to the gameplay, nor make it more interesting.

The game’s RTP sits at 94%, which is lower than the industry median. Besides, unlike in many other slots, the return rate doesn’t change if you opt for the Buy Bonus. Paired with medium volatility, this percentage can possibly pave the way for frequent small and average rewards.

The slot operates with well-known bonus features and mechanics: first of all, there are Random Wild multipliers, in which Wilds appearing on reels 2-4 can bear a random multiplier between x2 and x3. Then, the Bonus Symbols in combos of 3 trigger the Kitchen Bonus Game: there, the player must pick overturned cat bowls from the reels to determine the number of free spins. It is essential to collect the free spins until the red X appears on the reels, as this will award a total of 9 to 27 Sticky Wild Free Spins. During the Sticky Wild Free Spins round, any Wilds that land on the grid stay stuck in their positions for the duration of the round.

The game’s paytable features five low symbols, representing card values from 10 to A. Then, there are medium-paying ones, such as a hard-shaped ball of yarn, a carton of milk, and an open can of tuna. The high-paying symbols include three multicoloured cats: blue, purple, and orange. Finally, Wilds in the game substitute for all symbols, appear on reels 2-4 and carry multipliers, while Bonus symbols, shaped as golden mice, appear on reels 1, 3, and 5 and activate the Kitchen Bonus Game.
