Top Cat Most Wanted

Making a branded game based on an obscure 1-season cartoon most players today have hardly heard about is a somewhat strange and brave choice. However, the cheeky, trash-talking top cat has enough charm to make it work. As far as the first game is concerned, you would be too overwhelmed by all the features to really care. It’s therefore extra surprising that Blueprint has decided to go barebones with the sequel, and that they even made a sequel in the first place.
The original Top Cat was hardly a massive success, so perhaps the idea is to make a totally “opposite” game to see if that works better. Visually, not much has changed, however, but the math model has been given a significant overhaul. The bonus round is entertaining enough, but the cash prize collection feature is hardly original. We think some base game modifiers would have spiced things up a bit here, and we don’t see Top Cat being on the “most wanted” slot list of most players.
A lot of branded slots from Blueprint come jam-packed with features, but Top Cat Most Wanted is one of the exceptions. It’s really all about the Dibble Trouble Free Spins feature here, and it comes with cash prizes to collect.
You need to land at least 3 bonus scatters to trigger the bonus round, and you get 10, 15, or 20 free spins when you land 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols, respectively. Each of the cat mugshot symbols will now land with a random cash prize attached, and this is the reward you get for capturing them.
The only way to catch these outlaw cats is to land at least one instance of the Officer Dibble wild symbol at the same time. He will then blow his whistle, and collect all the cash prizes from any cat mugshot in sight. You can even land more than one instance of Officer Dibble, and this will effectively multiply your total cash prize. You will then see all instances of Officer Dibble take their turn to collect all the rewards from the mugshots.
You can also retrigger the free spins round, and you need only 2 scatters on the same spin to get another 5 spins added to your tally. You can fully retrigger the feature by landing 3, 4, or 5 scatters, however, and this gives you 10, 15, or 20 new spins, respectively.
We had a pretty good time testing this game, although the base game can be a bit of a grind. It took us a while to get to the bonus round, but the good news is that all the boring parts have been edited out. Only the fun stuff has been included in the 200 spins highlights video below, and you can check out how many cat rewards we captured by clicking the play button.
If you came to this sequel expecting a feature-rich experience like the first game offers, you might be disappointed. For whatever reason, Blueprint has decided to strip this game almost to the bone. The sole focus on the bonus round is a bit surprising, to be honest, given the almost unreal amount of bonus games, features and modifiers you benefit from in the original Top Cat.
However, sometimes it can be good to take things in a totally new direction, and it’s certainly a bold move. The math model is definitely a lot stronger in this sequel, as you will now benefit from a higher RTP and a 50,000x potential. The medium volatility makes it a bit rougher around the edges than the first game, but it’s still highly suitable for casual players. You get plenty of cartoonish fun here, with action commentary to boot, but it wouldn’t have hurt with a few modifier bones thrown into the base game also.
Pros
Cons
If you likecartoon-style games, you can check out more than 600 of them in our catalog at the time of writing. We have also taken the liberty of hand-selecting a few similar games for you below.
Top Cat- is not really an obvious choice if you like the game at hand. The 2 games might share the same theme, but they are very different in most other ways. This is a low-medium title with a 500x potential, though, it’s a part of the Jackpot King network, and it comes with so many bonus games, modifiers, and features that it’s overwhelming at first sight.
Claws vs Paws- is a Playson-powered feline slot, and it plays out on 5 reels with 20 winning ways. You will benefit from 3 randomly triggered base game features, and this includes respins with guaranteed wins. There are also 3 unique bonus rounds to trigger here, and this is a pretty fun cartoon-style game with plenty going for it.
The Dog House- might look cartoonish and cute with all the puppy dogs, but underneath is a brutal math model bearing its teeth. The game is packed with features, and the highlight is the bonus round with multiplier wilds. Payouts up to 6,750x your stake is possible here, and you’ll benefit from multiplier wilds in the base game.
