Fortune Cats: Golden Stacks Slot Conclusion

From an intense rock concert in the slot Gods of Rock and an adrenaline-filled fishing adventure at sea in the slot Big Fin Bay, we are this time treated to a much calmer gaming adventure. This time it's the fortune cats that are the focus of attention and their lucky qualities are really put to the test. You are playing on a slot with 5 reels and 4 rows, where you can land some decent wins, together with a bunch of Japanese inspired symbols, where the mystery symbols play a major part. But it's by activating the Bonus Game that the bigger wins can be scooped up, as you can manage to unlock 3 mini slots 5X4, which give triple opportunities to win bigger. You start with 10 free spins, but by unlocking more mini slots and landing scatter symbols, you usually get a lot of extra free spins along the way.

What makes this bonus game extra admirable is its Golden Stacks feature, whereby landing a full stack of golden fortune cats, you get this copied to the other mini slots. This can result in sudden bonanzas, and you realize why the game was named after this feature. On the whole, it's lighter spins that you take part in here, where a medium volatility is used, and you can win up to 2500X the bet. A potential maximum win that is considerably lower than what one is used to seeing within slots from Thunderkick. But a variety in the offer is never wrong and this one will certainly please many Japan lovers out there. The game's RTP is a good size, assuming the higher one is used, but this RTP can vary and when the lower ones are used, the game's conditions change considerably. It's a slot that from time to time provides some good entertainment, but it's not of the same caliber as the spectacular show that Gods of Rock offered.

Fortune Cats: Golden Stacks lets us take part in a Japan-inspired gaming adventure, where the fortune-bringing cats occasionally generate bigger wins.
