The Chinese lucky cat, or Maneki Neko, is the theme and the inspiration behind this online slot machine from Novomatic/Greentube; it has the slightly odd title of Scat Cat Fortune and it offers players free spins and some large scatter prizes.
Scat Cat Fortune is a five reel slot with three rows and fifty fixed paylines; those reels spin within a fairly plain gold frame but in the background there’s an artistic, red creation which brings to mind 1990s anime.
High value symbols include the gold ingots, the red temple (which can appear stacked), the golden Koi, the lily and the bamboo plant; 9, 10, J, Q, K and A make up the lower values. Our lucky, waving cat is the wild symbol, he/she appears on reels two to five and will substitute for everything else except the Yin Yang scatter to help create winning combinations.
Scat Cat Fortune Bonus Features
Free Spins
Landing at least three of the Yin Yang scatter symbols anywhere in view will award an initial ten free spins but there are five more available if you can repeat the feat when the round gets underway. Whenever the wild cat lands it will lock in place and stay there until the spins end.
Gamble Feature
If there’s a gamble feature on the version you’re playing you’ll get to risk your winnings in a red/black, 50/50 game in which wins will double up but a loss will lose it all.
Verdict
There’s not too much to get excited about in Scat Cat Fortune – the graphics are rather ‘ho hum’ and there’s not much in terms of bonus features to make up for that lack of quality and sophistication; try it out if you like but there are better Chinese-themed slots than this around.
