Astro Cat slot review
Astro Cat slot would never indicate it's an oriental-themed game by reading the title, but have no doubt we are in China here with a slot that's a sister game to another 'Reelfecta' one, Druidess Gold. The game is set over a scenic Chinese lake with junks and smaller boats afloat under a night sky and of course it wouldn't be complete without the wheedling Eastern pipe and cymbals music while we play. If you aren't familiar with 'Reelfecta' slots these have asymmetric reels that have different amounts or rows on, like WMS' Bruce Lee for example so will Astro Cat be a case of hiss and scratch or purr-fect for our balance?

On the reels..
The Reelfecta means we get reels 1, 2, 4 and 5 with three rows on each and the centre reel has sixteen symbols in 4x4 grid so 3x3x16x3x3 gives us a 1296-way game. So if you get a similar symbol on the the two outer pairs of reels, you only need it to appear once in the 4x4 block reel to get a 5-of-a-kind win. The best one of these cannot be Wilds as they only appear anywhere on the 4x4 reel and reel 4, but the Dragon pays 5x our 50-coin stake, the Frog 3x, Fish 2x, Lotus Flowers or Fan 1.5x with five card values either paying 40 or 25 coins. Symbols can appear singly or in pairs too.

If you get to see 5 or more Firework symbols anywhere in the 12 positions on the edge of the Reelfecta 4x4 grid you'll trigger a unique bonus spins round. Nine or more in these 12 positions will alos award the top possible pay of 500x stake. A minimum of three free games are granted and you will see Astro Cat Wild only land in the top left of the outer 12 positions going clockwise. Each time it appears it becomes a Sticky Wild but beware! from the fourth spin onwards a Poison Flask my appear instead and that ends the games.

The objective is to fill all 12 positions with Astro Cat Wilds as not only does that keep the free games with an ever-increasing amount of sticky Wilds going, but you get a special bonus if you do last 12 spins without seeing the Poison! If you make the 13th. and final spin the whole 4x4 Reelfecta will become a sticky Wild for one last Mega Spin and then you just hope you get a match on reels 1 and 2 for it, but to be fair it usually does pay something decent.
Siberian tiger slot machine. Our View..
Astro cat slot has a unique design with very good graphics, effects and animations and the 96.15% RTP is none too shabby either. Yes, it's the second identical game from Lightning Box to accompany Druidess Gold and the pays aren't huge for this lower volatility game but it is fun to play and often puts decent strings of wins together. The slot isn't brutal on your bankroll at all and after a session on it you may well look like the Astro Cat that got the cream..

The Reflecta Reel Setup of Astro Cat
There are 1296 ways to win on this slot, which uses a specially updated version of the ‘all-ways’ system. The layout has 8 reels, with reels 1, 2, 7 and 8 each having 3 rows of symbols – and the middle 4 reels all having 4 rows of symbols.
The twist in how this works is that all of those middle 4 reels are separate reel 3’s.
If you get a symbol in reels 1 and 2, then 7 and 8 – then any one of those symbols on the 4×4 grid in the middle makes a 5 of a kind. If you get one more in the middle this does not make a 6 of a kind win (5 is the max), instead this means you have 2x 5 of a kind wins. If you are lucky enough to get some wild symbols, then you’ll often hit a lot of wins at the same time using this system. As I said in the intro, it might sound complex, though in reality you will tune in very quickly and start enjoying the frequent (albeit smaller) wins.
Astro Cat Winning Combinations
Your biggest wins will come from scatter symbols, rather than regular ones. These are fire crackers which only appear in the outside positions of the 4×4 grid of the middle reels. 9+ of these in a single spin will get you a generous 25000 credit pay out, while 8 are worth 1250. These pay down to 5, which will get you 50 credits. Scatter symbols also trigger the free spins bonus game – though for reasons explained below they do not appear on the reels during the bonus game.
Regular winning symbols have smaller wins attached, the big prizes come when you hit multiple wins at the same time (which is reasonably common). The best paying is the colourful Chinese dragon, worth 250 coins for 5 of a kind. Next comes the frog at 150 for 5, then golden carp at 100, bonsai tree and fans will win 75 coins. Playing card symbols with golden edges make up the smaller wins.
Astro Cat Slot Big Win Bonus
The cat symbol has the word ‘wild’ written on it. This substitutes for the regular symbols (though not the fire crackers) to create more wins.
