The Catfather Demo & Review

The Catfather review

The Catfather is a 2016 Pragmatic Play slot with a 3x5 layout and nine lines that pay both left to right and right to left. A gang of cats are the symbols, and the double-direction lines increase how often wins land.

The Wild Night feature can randomly add fully expanded wilds across any combination of reels 1, 2 and 3. In free spins, every win is multiplied by 4x. The standout statistic is the published RTP of 98.1%, unusually high for any slot. Pragmatic Play doesn't list a max win. It's an older game, but that RTP makes it a notable pick for long, low-stakes demo sessions.

The Catfather RTP, volatility and max win

RTP: the default return to player is 98.10%, meaning that over a very large number of spins the game is designed to pay back around 98.1 units for every 100 wagered. Some casinos may run a lower configuration; the info screen inside the game shows the exact figure. How RTP works.

Volatility: The provider hasn't published an official volatility rating for The Catfather, so we don't label it. Judge it from the demo: if wins are rare but bonus rounds carry most of the value, treat it as a higher-variance game and size your stake accordingly. Volatility explained.

Max win: Pragmatic Play doesn't publish a max win figure for The Catfather on its website; the paytable inside the demo shows any win cap. What max win really means.
