Cat Wilde is a new member of the Wilde family, the archaeologists who Play’n GO send around the world on historical expeditions with slot games attached.
Rich Wilde is the father of Cat, and he has starred in some of the biggest slots in UK history, most notably the Rich Wilde and the Book of Dead slot that is probably one of the favourite free spins games in the UK online casino market.
You’ll recognise the style of this game from the series – why change a winning formula – though with Cat’s freckled face standing in for her dad as the digger.
The main bonuses are free spins, expanding wilds, and more.
Play’n GO have a massive hit on their hands with the Rich Wilde series, but will slots players want to follow the adventures down the family tree to Cat?

The Game
Play’n GO games tend to use a standard set-up for their games, and Cat Wilde uses the same controls.
At the bottom left is an information button to open further menus including the pay table. Then there’s a Window fr balance. In the centre is an information window, under which is the Play’n GO betting control, which is a single sliding scale (not completely linear). The spin control is a big, friendly green button and after that, there’s an auto spin feature (allowing you to stop spins after set wins, losses, and feature triggers).
The pay table opens up on a run of cards from 10s to aces. The top-paying symbols are a scarab beetle, an Anubis, a Sphinx, and Cat, who pays out 100-times stake for a full set. High payers pay out from sets of two-up, low payers from three up.
This game features Wild Reels, an Eye of Horus that serves as a wild and can expand to fill wilds.
The free spins round is triggered by scatters in sets of 10 that can be retriggered with no limits. Before the round starts a symbol is selected as an expanding symbol for the round. It will grow to fill a reel whenever it appears. This could be wilds, which is where you’ll hit really big wins.
The Verdict
This game will be a hit. IN fact, it already is! With the history of the rich Wilde series and the might of Play n GO behind it Cat Wilde and the Doom of Dead was bound to go down well with players. But will it last?
That’s the question, because of the Rich Wilde games only one has been a long-term blockbuster – the Book of Dead – because it’s been such a favourite for free spins rounds in casino sites all over the UK market.
We think it might. It’s nice that there’s a female protagonist, which is unusual, but increasingly less so as more and more women play slots, and that will win it some fans. The Rich Wilde series have proven playability and proven prize potential, and this continues down the family tree to Cat.
It’s a shame that the RTP is low here, but it’s the big bets and the big prizes that will likely attract a lot of high-rolling players to give up on blackjack and take up archaeology.
