Wild Substitute Symbols
The Cats Logo symbol in the Cats slot machine game is a wild symbol. This means that the Cats Logo wild symbol acts as a substitute for other symbols to complete winning combinations.
Multiple Cats Logo wild symbols on an enabled payline create winning combinations as shown in the "Regular Payout Schedule".
The Cats Logo wild symbol does not substitute for the Paw Print symbol to complete winning scatter combinations or to activate the Cats Free Spins Bonus Round game.
The Cats Logo wild symbol can substitute for the Cat (animal) symbols, and when the Cats Logo wild symbol substitutes in an Cat symbol winning combinations it counts as "double" the image symbol.
When substituting for an Cat symbol, the Cats Logo wild symbols are always evaluated using the Split Symbols™ feature, making the Cats Logo wild symbols extremely valuable.
Note: Only one winning combination is paid out per payline. If there is more than one possible winning combination on a payline, you are paid out the value of the highest combination only.
Scatter Symbols
The Paw Print symbol in the Cats slot machine game is a scatter symbol. This means that the Paw Print scatter symbol does not need to appear in a line on an enabled payline to win.
The Paw Print scatter symbols only appear on reels 2, 3, and 4.
The Paw Print scatter symbol can be scattered anywhere on reels 2, 3, and 4 to complete winning combinations, provided four or more Paw Print scatter symbols appear.
Winnings are calculated by multiplying the Paw Print symbol combination payout, as shown in the "Regular Payout Schedule", by the total number of coins bet.
Five or more Paw Print scatter symbols scattered anywhere on reels 2, 3, and/or 4 activates the Cats Free Spins Bonus Round game.
The Cats Logo wild symbol does not substitute for the Paw Print symbol to complete winning scatter combinations or to activate the Cats Free Spins Bonus Round game.
Note: If you have a scatter win and a regular win, you are paid out for both wins, as the Paw Print scatter symbol does not need to appear on an enabled payline to win. The scatter win is added to the payline win.

In the Cats™ slot machine game, each animal symbol comes in two varieties: "single" symbols, and "double" symbols.
The "Single" symbols have one "Cat" (animal) shown on the symbol.
The "Double" symbols, which use the Split Symbols Feature, have two of the same "Cats" (animals) shown on the symbol.
Note: There are "single", and "double" versions of each "animal" on every reel.
Winning combinations are based on the number of matching "Cats" on a payline (from left to right), not just the number of matching symbols.
Enjoy wins by getting as few as 3 matching "Cats", and as many as 10 matching "Cats" for huge wins. Similarly, you can win a 3-symbol pay or even a 4-symbol pay on just the first two reels.
This lucrative Split Symbols Feature is enhanced by the Cats Logo symbol. The Cats Logo symbol is wild and can substitute for the highest-paying animal symbol or highest-paying royal symbol that completes a win.
When substituting for an "Cat" (animal) symbol, the Cats Logo symbols are always evaluated using the Split Symbols Feature, making these wild symbols extremely valuable.
Cats Free Spins Bonus
Five or more Paw Print scatter symbols scattered anywhere on reels 2, 3, and/or 4 activates the Cats Free Spins Bonus Round game.
The Cats Logo wild symbol does not substitute for the Paw Print symbol to complete winning scatter combinations or to activate the Cats Free Spins Bonus Round game.
Just like the other Cat (animal) symbols, the Paw Print scatter symbols appear either as single symbol, or double symbols which use the Split Symbols Feature.
Two "Double Paw Print" scatter symbols, and one "Single Paw Print" scatter symbol equal "5 Dove" symbols.
Three "Double Paw Print" scatter symbols equal "6 Paw Print" scatter symbols.
Five Paw Print scatter symbols anywhere on reels 2, 3, and/or 4 trigger 5 Free Spins.
Six Paw Print scatter symbols anywhere on reels 2, 3, and/or 4 trigger 10 Free Spins.
