Wild Cats Multiline slot review (Red Tiger)

This wild cat doesn’t give a “roar” but rather a big “meow”

Wild Cats Multiline is a Red Tiger Gaming video slot that promises a lot, but in reality, it turns out to be a sweet kitty instead of a wild animal.

The biggest eye-catcher of Wild Cats Multiline is the random number of paylines per spin. You can get 4 paylines, or 49. This sounds more exciting than it is; 50 paylines is hardly sensational, don’t you agree?

It looks a bit like a zero-calorie, light version of a Megaways slot.

Then, there are free spins with respins, and you can win up to 2,000 x the total bet. That’s nice, but also far from spectacular.

How does the Wild Cats Multiline video slot work?

Wild Cats has 6 reels and a changing number of rows of symbols per spin.

And with the number of rows, the number of winning paylines also changes.

2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 rows of symbols will get you, respectively, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36 or 49 paylines.

Bets are made starting with $€ 0.10 per spin, which goes up to $€ 40 per spin.

The theoretical payout rate of Wild Cats Multiline is variable. We have seen variants with a Return to Player of 96.19% and an RTP of 94.2%.

Some versions also participate in Red Tiger’s Megadrop progressive jackpot. In that case, you will be able to win extra progressive jackpots, but it also means that a considerable chunk of the RTP will contribute to these jackpots.

The maximum win on this slot is 2,049 x the total bet. Wild Cats Multiline’s variance is medium.

Symbols and payouts

The lion, the jungle king, serves as wild and replaces all symbols except the scatter—spin 6 wilds for a payout of 50 x the total bet.

All premium symbols are stacked and consist of wild cats: the tiger, leopard, panther and lynx. These pay out between 6 x and 20 x the total bet for a 6-of-a-kind.

The low-value symbols consist of 4 card symbols and a circle. In of case of 6 identical cards, these are worth between 1 x and 3 x the total bet.

Royal Spins: Free spins with a twist

Spin 3 or more scattered Royal Spins symbols to activate the free spins bonus.

The more scatters you spin, the more free spins you win.

During the free spins, a unique booster is active. Every time you spin a wild symbol, it removes one of the lower symbols, and you get a respin, while the rest of the symbols will remain in place.

As long as you spin new wilds, the process repeats itself, and more and more low symbols are removed from the game.

With some luck and perseverance, you’ll be able to spin a screen full of wilds and the same premium symbols.

You always play the free spins in a 7 x 7 setup.

Our verdict of the Wild Cats Multiline slot

Red Tiger Gaming’s Wild Cats Multiline is a rather simple video slot, and we are not impressed at all.

We have seen the changing numbers of paylines before, and we’ve also seen far better execution of this feature. The bonus game is not very uplifting, either.

Red Tiger Gaming created the most beautiful stuff in the past, but they seem to have lost some of their magic touch over the past few months.

2.5 out of 5 stars.
