As the month of February winds down, we figured now would be a good time to compile our second slot of the month highlight. In January, we highlighted No Limit City’s San Quentin prison. We’ll be focusing on Play ‘n Go’s latest five-reel slot, Cat Wilde in the Eclipse of the Sun God, today. First, let’s examine the game’s overarching idea.
Cat Wilde in the Eclipse of the Sun God (henceforth Cat Wilde Eclipse) is the third in a series of novels with an Indiana Jones/Tomb Raider-inspired theme. The game’s protagonist, Cat Wilde (son of Rich), returns once again. Cat is a spoiled child who enjoys playing Lara Croft by traveling to far-flung locales to steal treasure from tombs.
Developers of slot machines sometimes draw inspiration from the morbid preoccupation with stealing rare relics; games like Rich Wilde, Legacy of Dead, and Book of Ra are just a few examples.
Cat Wild Eclipse, like Gonzo’s Quest, conveniently seems to be an adventure mission. The playing environment is a South American rainforest equipped with an Aztec temple, and it features five see-through reels. While you spin the reels, a dramatic pipe-driven orchestral soundtrack plays in the background, which is a little “overblown” for an online slot game. Despite that, the game’s visuals and audio are superb.
Playing Card Symbols in Stone Effect These represent the lower value symbols on the reels. Cat Wilde herself joins the compass, key, and skull that are all terribly derivative symbols. You’ll win 6, 12,5, 5, or 37.5 times your bet if you get five of them on an active pay line.
Wild symbols, here shown as a sun deity, may stand in for any other icon on the reels to help you win more money.
The Reels Came Down
The main game’s central mechanism is a set of cascading reels, which cause previously winning symbols to disappear and be replaced by new ones until no new winning combinations can be formed. The first four cascades are subject to a multiplier that rises by 1, 2, 6, and 10 respectively, as indicated by a meter located above the reels.
Extras – Totally Free Spins Bonus Game
If the moon goddess scatter symbol appears anywhere on reels one, three, and five on the same spin, the bonus game will activate. A total of 10 free spins will be awarded to you, with the cascading reels feature and win multipliers still active throughout.
Scatter symbols double as wilds during the free spins bonus round. If you manage to gather at least five of them, you’ll be rewarded with an additional five spins and a higher multiplier value. If you manage to gather 30, you’ll have access to 70x multipliers throughout gameplay. This is how it functions:
Five Scatters trigger 2, 4, 8, 12, and 20x multipliers and five free games.
Gain access to 3, 6, 12, 18, 30, and 5 more free spins when you collect 10 Scatters and play with them.
If you get 15 Scatters, you’ll get 4, 8, 16, 24, and 40 times your bet to play with plus 5 free spins.
Accumulate 20 Scatters for a chance at 5, 10, 20, 30, 50x multipliers and 5 free spins.
Get 25 Scatters and enjoy 6x, 12x, 24x, 36x, 60x multipliers and 5 free games!
If you get 30 Scatters, you’ll get 7, 14, 28, 42, 70x multipliers and 5 free games.
Conclusion
The fact that Cat Wilde appears in Eclipse of the Sun cannot be denied. Both the story and the gameplay of God are eerily similar to Gonzo’s Quest. In both the regular game and the progressive free spins bonus, the multiplier values are greater. With a possible x70 multiplier and re-triggers, here is where the real money is made. To sum up, Cat Wilde Eclipse has a lot going for it, not the least of which is a respectable RTP of 96.22%. If only Play ‘n Go hadn’t put a limit of 5500 on the maximum payout.
