There are several bonus features in Book of Cats. One of them is the Winline Expanding in the main game. The 6th reel is locked during it except for one cell. You trigger the Winline Expanding feature by creating a winning combination when on the 6th reel you have the same symbol as that in your win. Then, the symbol on the 6th reel expands and covers 3 rows. It complements the combination increasing the number of winning symbols.
If you land 3 to 6 Golden Book symbols in a spin you trigger the Free Spins and win the corresponding cash prize. The double scatter/wild symbol pays from 0.20 to 40 times your stake for 3 to 6 symbols. These rounds you will play with an expanding symbol. This is the one that appeared on the opened cell of the 6th reel in the triggering spin in the base game. It can be any except for the Golden Book.
You will play the free spins with unlocked 6th reel. The expanding symbol will cover a whole reel when it lands in the free spins. It ensures its normal symbol payout. This symbol will create winning combinations and pay even if it is not on adjacent reels or pay-lines. It pays in the following cases:
When on the reels land 2 and more premium and medium-value symbols (the Cat Queen, Bastet, Key of Nile, Cat mask);
When the reels hit 3 or more low-value symbols (10, J, Q, K and A);
You can retrigger the free games while playing it many times without limits. The Golden Book cannot substitute for the expanding symbol during free spins.
The last extra in Book of Cats game is the Gamble feature that becomes available after every win in the base game. You can bet on the colour of the face-down card with a cat. Another option is to try to guess its suit picking hearts, spades, clubs or diamonds. If you have guessed its colour – red or black, you will double your win. If you have guessed its suit, your payout will be multiplied by 4.
If you fail to guess, you will lose your bet and/or the increased after guessing reward and return to the base game. You can give up the Gamble game at any time and collect your reward by pressing the bag symbol.
If you are into Egyptian slots and like cats, Book of Cats is the best choice for you. It uses similar features to most games on this topic – the expanding symbol during free spins. In this one, you have a slightly different feature with the activation of the extra 6th reel in the base game. Other titles that may interest you are Book of Queen, Desert Cats and Book of Sheba.
