Purrfect Pets: A Bonus That Fires When Nothing Else Does

The most interesting mechanic in this cats-versus-dogs slot is a fallback. If a normal spin does not trigger either of the two main features, the Cats vs Dogs bonus can appear, letting you pick between them or a third option.

That is an inversion of how bonus triggers usually work. Normally a spin either produces a feature or it does not, and an unproductive spin is simply unproductive. Here the absence of a trigger is itself a condition that can produce a trigger, which means the game has a mechanism aimed squarely at spins that would otherwise have delivered nothing.

What the fallback offers is not a lesser consolation either. You can pick Doggy Dollars, Wild Cat, or the Random Riches Feature, and that third option is available only through this route. Random Riches can award seven, ten, twenty or even fifty free games with doubled wins and a 6x multiplier on any wild-involved combination, which is a considerably longer and better-multiplied round than either of the standard features.

So the fallback can deliver the game's strongest bonus. A player who never triggers a feature conventionally may reach a better round than one who does.

The two standard routes are simpler. Three or more Dog scatters trigger Doggy Dollars, ten free games with every win doubled, and those scatters convert into extra wilds after paying out. Three or more Wild Cats open the Wild Cat Feature, another ten free games where any prize involving a wild is tripled and no dog scatters appear.

A Cat wild substitutes for everything except the scattered Dogs across the twenty-five paylines, with the Dogs paying from any position.

Two progressive jackpots, a Major starting at $1,000 and a Minor at $250, trigger randomly after any spin including those played during free games. That last clause matters, since many jackpots are excluded from bonus rounds.

No volatility rating is listed. The listed top award is 30,000 times your bet per line.

Purrfect Pets suits players who value a game that actively addresses unproductive spins, and who will note that Random Riches is only reachable through the fallback. Anyone judging this game by its two named features is missing the route to its longest round.
