Doom of Dead

Cat Wilde and the Doom of Dead from Play ‘n’ Go invites you to join Cat Wilde the daughter of the infamous Rich Wilde, in their new release that is a ‘Book of’ styled slot and follows on from the slots that starred none other than Rich Wilde.
If you are familiar with the book of slots then you will know what to expect, however is it only the lead character that has changed in this latest offering? Read on to find out.

Cat Wilde and the Doom of Dead Slot Overview

The theme is as you would expect based around Ancient Egypt so prepare yourself for a new adventure courtesy of this 5-reel, 10 pay line slot. The slot is packed with temples, pillars, snakes, and deities, which have all been executed to the highest of standards that which players have come to expect from Play ‘n’ Go. The expanding wilds in this slot are rather creepy and the developers have managed to get this vibe across. The slot is set within a burial chamber in true Egyptian style and if you have played the other slots in this series you will be familiar with everything. The visuals are executed perfectly with superb animation and well thought out designs.

Gameplay

Before you can begin to play you need to select your bet range and this starts from as little as 10p per spin to a maximum of £100 per spin making the slot appealing to a multitude of players. Once you have decided on the bet you are comfortable with you are ready to set off with Cat Wilde to explore and hopefully pick up some fabulous winnings along the way. The default return to player stands at a solid 96.29% but you need to check this as some casinos will have this lowered, and the Book of Dead slots can be found in the mid to low 90s so it is vital to check the pay table before you start to play.

Cat Wilde and the Doom of Dead Symbols

There are a wealth of Egyptian themed symbols that go perfectly with the dusty background with the exception of the usual lower paying card symbols 10 through to Ace, although the developers have chosen a style that makes them less conspicuous. You can expect to come across scarabs, a Sphinx, Anubis, and Cat Wilde which make up the premium symbols. This series of slots offer good symbol values, and this is no exception as the reward for landing five of the premium symbols vary from 7.5x up to 100x for the heroine Cat.

The slot has a standalone wild and a scatter which is rather unusual and when you land the 1x1 wild it will expand into a complete wild reel which displays an Egyptian God. The wild can substitute for all the other symbols to create winning combinations and landing five will pay you 100x your stake.

Special features

Not only does Cat Wilde and the Doom of Dead have expanding wilds there is also a free spins feature for you to play. This feature is legendary and is activated when you land three of the compass scatters on your 1st, 3rd and 5th reels at the same time. For this you are rewarded with 10 free spins however, before they get underway one of the regular symbols either from the high or low end of your pay table is randomly selected to become your special expanding symbol.

Where it is possible the special symbol will create a winning combination and go on to expand to cover full reels. These expanded symbols can pay from anywhere and they do not have to land next door to one another. Therefore, if you were to land them on your 1st, 3rd and 5th reels they would pay you out as if they had landed on the 1st three reels. During the free spins, the scatters can also come into play which means that this feature can be technically reactivated with no limits.

Conclusion

It has been quite a long time since the first slot featuring Ricky Wild was introduced and the series has been running successfully ever since. In this series of slots Ricky has been sent to all types of destinations and now his daughter Cat has taken over the running of their family business.

Fans not only of this series but of this style will be happy to find out that although the main character has changed, the potential in gameplay remains as excellent as ever. It appears that Cat did not take too long to take over from her dad since they split after working together in Rich Wilde and the Shield of Athena. Possibly, Cat felt she needed to step out from her father shadow and show her potential and worth.

This slot can provide you with the potential to land 5,000 times your stake however, one thing you should remember is that due to somewhat limited values of the symbols it will not be possible to land 5,000 times your stake on a single spin . As usual it is the bonus round that will provide you with the opportunity to land the higher wins.

I really enjoyed playing this slot, it is another superbly executed and highly entertaining slot in this hugely successful series. With all manner of gameplay which is available to all players, thanks to the wide bet range, this is one slot that you will certainly want to give a spin. I urge you to try the Doom of Dead for yourselves and set off on an adventure with Cat as I really do not think you will be disappointed.
