It's a good job that Egypt offers such rich pickings for virtual visits as players will be heading back out there again with Cat Wilde and the Lost Chapter. This online slot from Play'n GO once more delves into the dusty tombs hidden in the pyramids in search of the missing chapters in the ancient book. And while you're rooting around, you might find some prizes that may be worth your while with up to x10,000 that could potentially be won.
The name Cat Wilde might seem familiar to some, and that's because this isn't her first foray on the reels. The young explorer has already been on some intrepid adventures in games such as the Doom of Dead and Eclipse of the Sun God. Of course, she's not the first member of the Wilde family to grace the Play'n GO games, as Cat is the daughter of tough archaeologist Rich Wilde. He has plenty of slots under his belt, too, with a series that includes the Book of Dead, Aztec Idols, Tome of Madness and Pearls of India, to name just a few!
But back with the younger Wilde, this game is set over a 5x3 grid and includes ten variable paylines. Like some of the other online slots from Play'n GO, it's possible to adjust the number of paylines according to your budget, a helpful feature if you're a low roller. Betting starts from 0.10 for the full ten paylines, but can drop down to just 0.01. At the opposite end of the spectrum, those on a max bet can crank it up to 100.00. Similar to the other games in this series, volatility is high, so payouts may take a little time to start popping up.
You may have played many Egyptian themed slots before, and if so, you'll probably know what to expect. Nevertheless, Play'n GO have done an excellent job of creating detailed visuals with gold embossing and flickering flames, together with symbol animations that make the gameplay pop.
The low pays are the playing card royals, but as a nod to the opulence of the Egyptian surroundings, they're dripping with gold. The high pays include the Ankh cross, Anubis, scarab beetles and Cat Wilde herself. Prizes here are seriously impressive, with up to x1000 for a full line of five.
The large golden W looks like a symbol for Wonder Woman, but it's actually the wild, which can substitute for any of the regular pays.
A trip to Egypt would be meaningless without sight of the pyramids, but thankfully this is the scatter. Land three pyramids, and you'll win eight free spins in a bonus round.
During the free spins, a different symbol will be picked on each turn to be expanding. If they can make a win, they'll expand to stretch over the full win, plus they can be played any way. During the free spins, the scatter also takes on the same properties as the wild. And if all that wasn't enough, if you land two scatters during the free spins, you'll win an extra freebie known as Pyramid Spins, which provides eight more free turns, plus the expanding symbol is held while it plays out. Whew!
Daughters always like to outshine their parents, and with Cat Wilde and the Lost Chapter there's definite potential. The Rich Wilde series from Play'n GO was hugely popular, but the extra tweaks on this slot give players the chance to win even more.
