Fortune Cats Golden Stacks

In the mood for something cute and cuddly? For those of you without cats or dogs, Fortune Cats Golden Stacks slot from Thunderkick could be your cup of Darjeeling. Yes, my fine friends, with its transforming mystery symbols and low volatility game play I’m excited to try out this new release from those savvy Swedes.

Fire it up this minute!

The Graphics

The look and feel of Fortune Cats slot is Japanese with daruma dolls and kawaii illustrations, which are very nice to look at as the reels spin. As for the soundtrack, this catchy little number will have you tapping your feet in no time.

Thunderkick like to produce good looking games, and this one is no exception

The Play

Fortune Cats Golden Stacks slot has 5 reels with 3 rows and 40 pay-lines. Place your funky feline bets from 0.10 to 100 per spin. To make a win here, you’ll need to match 3x or more icons from left to right. 

Now, let’s turn our attention to the pay table shall we?

Your high-paying icons in the game are made up of the gold lucky cat, the lantern, the green bottle and the fish. Meanwhile, the lower paying reel icons are represented by the hearts, spades, diamonds and clubs playing card suits all done up in sweet-but-simple kawaii style.

The Wild icons are the gold and blue ‘Wild’ symbol and will do the usual job of substituting for all symbols except the cute cat Scatter, and the Mystery red fan symbols.

The Fortune Cats Golden Stacks Bonus Features

Mystery Symbols

The folding fan scatter icons can hit the reels randomly at any time during both the base game and Free Spins round. When they do, they will automatically transform themselves and all instances of another randomly chosen symbol, into the premium paying Golden Cat icon. 

Free Spins Bonus

Hit 3x or more of the cat scatters and you’ll set off the Free Spins round. Now you’ll get 10 or more Free Spins with from 40 to 120 paylines active:

3 Scatters = 40 paylines

4 Scatters = 80 paylines 

5 Scatters = 120 paylines

For each scatter that hits the reels during the round, you’ll be given another and unlock the remaining paylines.

And last but not least, the max amount of Scatters that can land on any one spin is 3.

Golden Stacks Feature. 

During Free Spins, if any of the reels become completely covered in Golden Cats icons, they will now be copied and move to the other reels, filling them with even more matching icons. Land a whole screenful, and you’ll scoop that 2,500x your bet top prize.

The Monkey Verdict

Fortune Cats Golden Stacks slot from Thunderkick will most certainly put a smile on your face. The graphics are fun and there’s plenty of action as you spin.

But, while the game looks and plays like a Japanese dream, the 2,500x your bet max win is a bit on the low side for me – however it is a low variance slot, so the maths balance themselves out nicely.
