The tradition of the Fortune Cats dates back around 150 years in Japan and these little ornaments are believed to bring luck and wealth to the owner; Fortune Cats is also the name of this online slot machine from Aspect Gaming and it comes with an interesting sixth reel feature.

Fortune Cats is a five reel slot with four rows and fifty fixed paylines; behind those reels we can just about make out a hazy blue alleyway strung with wires and lights.

There are six higher value symbols and these include the left hand waving cat, the right hand waving cat, the gold coin, the lanterns and the fire crackers; 9, 10, J, Q, K and A make up the lower values.

The green cat’s head is the wild symbol and it will replace all others to form winning combinations except for the black cat scatter.

Bonus Features

Sixth Reel

To the right of the reel set you will notice that there’s a small one row reel with a red frame and this spins with every spin of the main set, revealing one of the following bonuses:

• 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x or 10x the total win amount for that spin.
• 1x, 2x, 4x or 10x the total stake.
• Expanding Wild – any wild symbols will expand to cover their entire reels.
• Right to Left – paylines pay from right to left as well as left to right.
• Free Games – awards the free spins feature.

Free Spins

This is triggered by landing three, four or five of the black cat scatter symbols anywhere in view (or via the sixth reel feature) and you will receive eight free spins ; there’s no extra multiplier on your wins here but the spins can be retriggered in the same manner.

Verdict

Fortune Cats is a colourful and enjoyable trip to visit this Japanese tradition and the sixth reel makes it seem like a bonus feature award is just around the corner; it’s good fun and it comes with an RTP of 94.99%.
