Natal Cats Slot by Riddec Games

Every other Riddec slot runs on one of two engines - Multiwheel for the fruit games, Bet Ways for the expanding-wild chains. Natal Cats throws both out. This is a Hold & Win game with three fixed jackpots and a dual bonus system, which is a first for the studio on every count. Scatter symbols (orange crystal balls on tarot cards marked "Skatter") trigger free spins where the low-pay symbols vanish entirely - only the cat characters, wilds, and scatters remain on the reels. Money coin symbols, meanwhile, trigger the Natal Respin round, which locks coins in place and awards 3 respins. Each new coin resets the counter. Mini pays 20x, Major 100x, Mega 1,000x, and all three sit above the grid as crystal balls that scale with your bet. The feature trigger rate is around 1 in 98 spins, which is aggressive compared to anything else in the Riddec catalog.

The witchcraft setting has nothing in common with the steampunk hamsters or Victorian fruit machines. Deep purple reels framed in ornate gold-purple scrollwork sit on a wooden table cluttered with potion bottles (one pink, one green with a mouse floating inside it, one with purple tentacles), an animal skull, cinnamon sticks, dripping candles, and a gold pentagram medallion on a chain. The cat characters are drawn as fortune tellers on tarot-style cards - one in a green witch hat stirring a cauldron, one in a blue wizard hat holding a potion, one wrapped in pink roses. Low-pay symbols are the backs of those tarot cards: paw prints, pentagrams, crescent moons. A purple third-eye symbol is the wild.

Buy bonus sits on a pink paw-shaped button to the left of the grid. And because the game splits its bonus into two separate rounds - free spins for big symbol hits, Natal Respin for coin collection and jackpots - you're essentially playing toward two different triggers at once, both pulling from the same 1-in-98 frequency pool.
