Cat Wilde and the Lost Chapter Review

Cat Wilde bursted onto the “Book of” scene in mid-2020, picking up the gauntlet from her more famous explorer father, Rich Wilde. Cat Wilde and the Lost Chapter is more innovative than the first release, Doom of Dead, as you will now benefit from a different expanding symbol on each free spin. While this is not completely unheard of, it’s done in a simple and unique fashion here, which adds a new dimension to the standard book slot bonus round.

Visually, we are also pretty impressed by what Play’n Go has put together in this follow-up title, and the soundtrack adds a dramatic sense of urgency to the gameplay. The game feels very alive due to the animated symbols, and the 10,000x potential makes this a no-brainer to check out for fans of the “Book of” genre. It’s not as revolutionary as say, Book of Dwarves, but it does bring the series forwards without blowing up the original framework.

Cat Wilde and the Lost Chapter Features

Unlike most book slots, the wild symbol is separate from the scatter symbol here, and why will become apparent as we talk about the bonus round. The wild is a W printed on a golden scroll, and it will step in for all regular symbols to help you form winning combos. It pays 1,000x for 5 on a payline, just like the highest value Cat Wilde symbol does.

No twist has been added to the base game here, but the bonus round has definitely gone through some interesting modifications compared to the standard “book of” slot formula.

The blueish 3D Eye of Horus pyramid is the regular scatter, and you need to land 3 anywhere to trigger the free spins round.

You will be granted 8 free spins, and a regular pay symbol will be selected randomly on each spin. Usually, the special expanding symbol is selected up front, but here you get a new selection on each spin. You need at least 2 premium symbols (and 3+ royals) anywhere to trigger the Expanding symbols win. This means that expanded symbols don’t need to be adjacent to win.

During the bonus round, the pyramid scatter will also act as an extra wild. When you land 2 pyramid scatter/wilds on the same free spin, you are granted 2 Pyramid Spins.

These spins do not subtract from your regular free spins tally, and you play with whatever expanding symbol was chosen on the triggering spin. Each scatter/wild you land on a Pyramid spin adds another Pyramid spin to your tally.

The 200 Spins Cat Wilde and the Lost Chapter Experience

Nothing much happened for us in the base game, and you can skip to 0:45 into the 3-minute highlights video if you just want to see the bonus round. We got plenty of Pyramid Spins though, and managed to land some pretty decent payouts overall. You can check out how it all played out by smashing that play button.

Review Summary

Play’n Go has done an excellent job with the audiovisual experience in Cat Wilde and the Lost Chapter. Many Ra clones come across as too static and boring, but this is not the case with Lost Chapter. The level of detail and the neat symbol animations make the game come alive. This makes it a far more pleasant experience than merely staring at some dead reels in yet another dusty tomb.

It’s a very refreshing touch to make the chosen expanding symbol alternate on each free spin. Similar things have been done before, but not quite like this.

Play’n Go is responsible for launching the Book of concept into mainstream stardom with Book of Dead, and with Lost Chapter they have included enough clever innovation to bring the series a step forward. To top it all off, they have doubled the standard 5,000x potential up to 10,000x your stake.

Pros

• Bonus round with a randomly chosen expanding symbol on each spin
• Get extra Pyramid Spins within the bonus round
• Win up to 10,000x your stake (instead of the usual 5,000x)

Cons

• Only available at 4 exclusive casinos

If you love Cat Wilde and the Lost Chapter you should also try:

Cat Wilde and the Doom of Dead - is the predecessor game, where we were first introduced to Rich Wilde’s adventurous daughter. You will benefit from expanding wilds on all reels, and the bonus round comes with the standard chosen expanding symbol for wins up to 5,000x.

Mysterious Egypt - is a Pragmatic Play powered book slot where each base game spin comes with a random Expanding symbol. The bonus round Expanding symbols are chosen up front though, but you get 2 instead of the usual 1. The volatility is high, and you can win up to 5,533x your stake.

Ali Baba's Luck - was the first book slot to allow expanding symbols also in the base game. Each winning symbol becomes highlighted, and will potentially expand on the next spin.

This gets even better in the bonus round, as the highlighted symbols don’t reset between spins. The max win is also a bit higher than the regular 5,000x.
