Those who are secretly feeding their fantasy of getting into the world of crime somehow can relax and spin the reels of Cat Burglar slot. That way, they won’t do anything illegal and they even might benefit from the entire venture. All they need to do is follow a determined sneaky kitty with a plan to plunder a museum vault. The graphics are very well done, in high definition and with nice highlights, in a cartoonish style. The reels are set against a background of a museum chamber with artefacts such as a vase, an Egyptian cat statue and a dinosaur skeleton.
The symbols include playing card denominations, objects such as a jewelled collar and a grappling hook, characters such as the security guard (dog) and the professor/museum curator (fox) and an image of the museum exterior. The feline thief acts as Wild and she will replace all others to help form winning combinations. She looks well prepared and ready to go. Nevertheless, the Wild will not substitute for the Scatter symbol represented by an onyx cat idol.
Cat Burglar has 5 reels, 3 rows and 25 lines, fixed. The adjustments and buttons are neatly tucked under the reels and the big green Spin button puts the reels in motion, unless you want them to rotate automatically – in that case, the Autoplay button is in the lower right corner of the screen (the user can choose between 5 and 500 automatic spins).
The Scatter provides re-spins; the player must collect 3 or 4 of the onyx cat statues to receive a free re-spin with the Scatters in positions. More of them landing on the reels secure more re-spins. The great thing about this feature is that it does not end here, the feature flows into the Vault bonus which is a sort of picking game – in the beginning. When the bonus starts, you will get a choice of five vaults and a keypad. By picking a selection of numbers you will be able to open one or more vaults and receive free spins with multipliers. There are up to 190 free spins with a 16x multiplier to be won! Any retrigger adds 5 free games to the current feature prize.
GamesLab’s Cat Burglar is a good choice for players who prefer video slots with a light-hearted feel and an ability to still deliver a punch. This one has high volatility and an RTP above 96%, which means that it will give you a good return but only if you play long enough and have enough balance to power all those spins. A little bit of cat cleverness won’t hurt, and even though busting a vault takes a lot of skill, the luck is the biggest factor as always in games of chance.
