SLOT REVIEW
Written by Stephen Cummings
Push Gaming is really hot right now. Having released Samurai’s Katana less than a month ago, they are now pushing another slot release. Just like its predecessor DJ Fox, DJ Cat comes with a groovy music theme, a “win what you see” feature and a top prize of 10,000x the bet.
In this review of DJ Cat we will look closer at the slot’s RTP, features, payouts, the good and the bad and some strategies that you can use. Join us!
DJ CAT RTP AND FEATURES
The most important part to highlight of DJ Cat is its RTP as you can get different RTP rates depending on where you play. While the default RTP of DJ Cat is 96.32%, most online casinos will use the lowered RTP version of 94.03%. Since the online slot average is around 96%, we only consider the default RTP version to be good.
It is also worth highlighting that DJ Cat has a slightly higher RTP than its predecessor (96.32% vs 96.28%), so it is a tiny bit better from that perspective. Compared to other Push Gaming slots, DJ Cat is somewhere in the middle as there are many that have both higher and lower RTPs.
As for features, there are plenty, but all of them are pretty straightforward. We have covered them below.
Features in DJ Cat:
- Free spins
- Respins
- Bonus game
- Multipliers
- Scatter symbols
- Wild symbols
- Dud symbols
- Arrow symbols
- Win what you see
- Push up
WIN WHAT YOU SEE
The “win what you see” feature is back, and it works exactly the same as in DJ Fox. The regular symbols are displayed as numeric values between 0x to 0.9x the bet and are calculated from left to right. If two or more regular symbols land next to each other, you win a 2 or more multi digit payout. There are also Dud symbols in play which carry zero value and work as blockers.
ARROW SYMBOL
When an Arrow Symbol lands it activates the next row and then disappears from the reels.
THE VIP SYMBOLS AND THE MULTIPLIER METER
When a VIP or Double VIP Symbol lands on the reels, it is collected to the Multiplier Meter. Depending on how many rows you are playing, you can get different multiplier values. These are the possible outcomes:
- Row 1 – 1x, 2x, 3x, and 5x multipliers
- Row 2 – 1x, 3x, 5x and 10x multipliers
- Row 3 – 1x, 5x, 10x, and 15x multipliers
- Row 4 – 1x, 10x, 15x and 20x multipliers
- Row 5 – 1x, 20x, 50x and 100x multipliers
THE PUSH UP FEATURE
The Push Up feature lets you activate more rows by paying an additional fee. This is how it works:
- 2 rows – Pay 2.5x the original bet to activate row 2
- 3 rows – Pay 5x the original bet to activate row 2 and 3
- 4 rows – Pay 7.5x the original bet to activate row 2, 3 and 4
- 5 rows – Pay 10x the original bet to activate all 5 rows
DJ CAT MAXIMUM PAYOUTS
The maximum payout in DJ Cat is 10,000x the bet. We consider this to be a respectable top prize as it is above the market average. At the same time, it is not anything outstanding as there are many online slots on the UK market with payouts above 50,000x the bet.
STRATEGIES FOR PLAYING DJ CAT SLOT
DJ Cat is a completely luck based slot, so there are no strategies that will guarantee wins. There is only one active feature that will change the gameplay, and that is the Push Up feature.
By using it, you increase the number of active rows which increases your chances of hitting big wins. However, it comes with an added cost of between 2.5x to 10x your original stake, so that is something to keep in mind as it can easily become a very expensive strategy.
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
Like most slots, DJ Cat has both pros and cons. The best part about it is that you can get a pretty decent payback percentage if you stick to the default RTP version. The worst part is obviously that some casinos will lower the RTP.
Advantages:
- Above average RTP if playing the default version
- Payouts of up to 10,000x the bet
- Multipliers up to 100x
- Enjoyable music theme
- Lots of fun features
Disadvantages:
- Adjustable RTP ranges
THE SLOTSHAWK VERDICT
“A nice music themed online slot with respectable RTP and potential for some decent payouts. Almost identical to its predecessor which was one of our favourite Push Gaming releases of last year.”
