Six reels, each 2 to 7 symbols tall, give Book of Cats MEGAWAYS up to 117,649 ways to win. The game mixes cat and Egyptian themes on one board. Wins form on adjacent reels, read from left to right and starting on reel 1. Three matching symbols are enough for a win. Only the highest combination on each way counts, and wins on different ways are added together.
12 free spins start when three or more Golden Book scatters land anywhere on the board. Each retrigger adds 12 more spins. A random paying symbol becomes the Expanding symbol and fills its whole reel on a win. Each Book landing during a round carries a random x2, x3, x5 or x10 multiplier, and Books on one spin add their multipliers together.

Many players want to know what the bonus looks like before they stake any money.
Five steps per round
Many players fear they will not know what each spin costs, so each step names the money.
A$0.10 is the lowest total bet and A$25 the highest, so set your stake before you spin. Every win in the round scales with that stake, so a bigger bet pays more.
Up to 117,649 ways open on each spin as each reel shows 2 to 7 symbols. Wins start on reel 1 and run left to right over at least 3 reels.
3 Golden Book scatters anywhere on the grid start Free Spins, while Megaways changes the grid height on every spin. Expanding symbols and multipliers appear only in the bonus round.
12 free spins begin when 3 or more Golden Book scatters land anywhere, and a retrigger adds 12 more. Then one random paying symbol expands across its whole reel on a win.
A$0.10 sets the lowest stake, so pick a budget you can afford to lose before the first spin. Nobody can know how a session ends, so stop when the budget is gone.
A 97.07 percent RTP means that, for every A$100 staked, the game pays back A$97.07 over a very long run. The version running here is shown in the game rules.

Three scatters just landed
Not sure how a bonus round starts or what it costs before you spin?
Three or more Golden Book scatters start Free Spins: 12 spins, retriggerable for 12 more. One paying symbol is chosen randomly as the Expanding symbol, never the Book, and fills its reel on a pay. Each Book landing gives the spin a random x2, x3, x5 or x10 multiplier.

3 Golden Book scatters start the Free Spins, but nobody can say in advance how often they will land. One session can bring a long bonus run or none at all, because each spin is random whatever the RTP. The RTP describes what happens across a very large number of spins, so it cannot tell you how the next spins will go.
A$100 staked is the basis of the RTP figures on this page, but which RTP version runs in a given game is shown only in the game rules. Read those rules before you start, since they name the version that applies to the game.
10,000 times the bet is the top prize the game can pay, a ceiling that is reached very rarely. Whether a session gets near it cannot be known in advance, and the maximum win is a limit, not a target.
