Top Cat Most Wanted Jackpot King Slot Review

Being a slot based on the 1960’s show, Top Cat Most Wanted Jackpot King obviously sticks closely to the cartoon aesthetic. The game’s setting is the dingy Manhattan alley Top Cat and friends call home, while the music consists of a jazzy number that is straight out of the source material. 

Top Cat and friends show up on the reels as paying symbols that double as prize symbols during the fishing-style bonus round. To trigger this you’ll first need to land 3 or more Top Cat scatters anywhere on the reels. 

As for the other paying symbols, you’ll find the Top Cat logo, bags of cash, a garbage can, fish bones, and the familiar A, K, Q, J, and 10 card royals. The reels lack a wind during paid spins, but this does show up during the free spins. This is Office Dibble, who not only substitutes for all the paying symbols but will also collect the cash values held by any cat symbols on the reels. 

Let’s check the values of the symbols on the reels: 

• Top Cat logo: 5 - 200x / 4 - 20x / 3 - 5x / 2 - 0.5x
• Cash bags: 5 - 100x / 4 - 15x / 3 - 3x
• Garbage Can, Fish Bones: 5 - 50x / 4 - 10x / 3 - 2x
• Top Cat and Friends: 5 - 20x / 4 - 5x / 3 - 1x
• Card Royals: 5 - 10x / 4 - 2.5x / 3 - 0.5x

Top Cat Most Wanted Jackpot King has a single bonus feature, the Dibble Trouble Free Spins. These will prove familiar if you’ve played any of Blueprint’s Fishin’ Frenzy slots, but just in case you’re not here’s what to expect: 

Dibble Trouble Free Spins

Land 3, 4, or  scatters anywhere on the reels for 10, 15, or 20 free spins respectively. This round sees the addition of the Officer Dibble wild to the reels. He will not only substitute for all the other paying symbols, but will also collect the values held by the cat characters for an additional payout. The free spins cannot be retriggered.

We’ve failed to mention a final symbol that may land on the reels - the crown. This is the Jackpot King symbol that will trigger this jackpot feature if you land 5 or more on the reels. The Jackpot King feature consists of a minigame that has you try to uncover as many more crowns as possible. The Jackpot King network offers 3 progressive jackpots, Royal Pot, Regal Pot, and Jackpot King. The Royal Pot must be won before it reaches £3,500, Regal Pot must be won before it reaches a total of £35,000, and the Jackpot King just keeps on growing indefinitely until one lucky player manages to hit it big. 

While the Top Cat Most Wanted Jackpot King update fails to add anything to the original slot other than the Jackpot King feature, it remains a solid slot based on the beloved cartoon. Admittedly that makes it a reskin of Blueprint’s Fishin’ Frenzy, but the payout potential is decent, the RTP good enough at 96.12% and, in our experience, the volatility manages to be just right at medium. It might not blow your mind, but there’s still fun to be had with Top Cat and pals here.
