100 Cats Pokie Machine
100 paylines stretch across the 5 reels of the 100 Cats pokie by EGT. Fans of all things feline will enjoy seeing various types of domestic cat spinning up wins, while fans of bonus games will still have something to gain from playing this online casino pokie, as there are some extra features such as free spins, stacked wilds, a gamble option and the Jackpot Cards system that can lead to any of 4 mystery jackpot prizes.
Before starting the game, players will need to decide how many lines to activate, with the options being 1, 20, 30, 50 or all 100 of them. To qualify for all potential wins, they will need to place the low limit bet of 1.00 per spin, which can be adjusted up from there, but for anyone unsure about placing so much on an unknown game, there’s free 100 Cats video pokies at many of the casinos that carry games from EGT, so they can test it out before making real money wagers.
Gaining a winning combination is simply a matter of lining up between 3 and 5 of the same symbol type across any payline, in an unbroken row running from the left side, although wild and scatter symbols can help players to get some real cash awards in other ways.
Playing 100 Cats
A city at night sits behind the reels, and maybe this is supposed to show the cats’ hunting grounds when we are all asleep, but there’s no obvious connection to the theme. The lower value symbols have no connection to it either, as they are simply the playing card icons J, Q, K and A. These pay from 5, 25 or 100 coins, up to 5, 50 or 125, so while they may tend to make up the majority of the winning lines, players won’t be getting much return on their wagers when these generic symbols turn up.
Things get much more interesting when the various cute cats stop across paylines, and EGT have named each of these nicely drawn moggies, with Toby the tabby and Prince the Persian cat being valued at between 10 and 200 coins, while Fluffy is worth 25, 150 and 350 when landing on 3, 4 or 5 reels of a payline.
Blue Eyes the Siamese will reward players with as much as 400 coins, but the best rewards are paid out by Minstrel or Pearl, the flat-faced black and white cats that will pay 50, 200 or even 600 coins when they land in the right places.

Bonus Features
The biggest payouts however, come from the Cat Lady, who rather than being some old woman surrounded by cats and smelling a bit, is a beautiful blonde who clearly likes to pamper her pets. As well as awarding wins of up to 1000 coins, she is also a wild symbol, able to acts as all except the scatter symbol if she can then complete a winning combination, and she’s even stacked on the reels to make that job a little easier.
The Cat Family symbol pays 200 coins when it lands anywhere on reels 2, 3 and 4 at once, also triggering 10 free spins, which is the main bonus feature of 100 Cats video pokies. A different set of reels is used here, with the potential for some higher payouts during the free games, and they can be retriggered if 3 or more Cat Family symbols appear again.
Any winning spin, whether it’s in the main game, or bonus rounds can be gambled, with players needing to correctly guess if a playing card will be a red or black suit. A correct pick can either be banked, or gambled again, but any wrong guess will lose the triggering win along with anything gained by the gamble round.
Jackpot Cards
A randomly triggered feature can lead to any of 4 progressive jackpot prizes, and takes players to a new screen where 12 cards are lying face down. The Heart, Spade, Diamond or Club jackpots are won once 3 matching cards are found, although the lowest value Club jackpot is the one that’s most likely to be found, and the highest Spades prize will be the least likely.
The Verdict
It isn’t just cat lovers that should play this online casino pokie, as it has plenty of rewards waiting for gamblers who line the right symbols up across the paylines. The main issue here is the sheer number of lines though, as a low limit of 1.00 per spin is needed to activate them all, and many people like to play with smaller stakes than this.
But anyone happy to wager at least this amount will find a top quality pokie filled with cute cats and sweet bonuses.
