Copy Cat Fortune by RTG

Join a mischievous group of cats for a night-time adventure in Copy Cat Fortune by RTG / SpinLogic. This colourful 5-reel slot combines Mystery Stacks with a clever Reel Copy feature, giving ordinary spins plenty of opportunities to turn into much larger wins. The game also includes several different Free Games modes, allowing players to choose how they want to approach the bonus.

The game uses a 5-reel, 3-row layout with 25 fixed paylines. Winning combinations are created when matching symbols appear consecutively from left to right. The theme includes cats, goldfish, parrots, toy mice, milk and balls of yarn, alongside traditional card symbols.

The Wild Cat substitutes for all regular symbols except the Moon Bonus symbol. This makes Wilds useful for completing combinations and can become particularly valuable when they appear inside the game's stacked features.

The first major feature is the Mystery Stacks feature. Each reel contains a consecutive stack of mystery positions that can be randomly activated during a spin. The mystery positions are then replaced by matching symbols, potentially creating a large stack of the same symbol.

Importantly, the Mystery Stacks can contain any of the game's symbols, including Wilds and Moon Bonus Scatters. This means a randomly generated stack can sometimes produce a much more valuable result than simply landing a few ordinary symbols.

The game's most distinctive feature is the Reel Copy feature. When matching symbols become stacked on reel 1, those symbols can be copied onto one, two, three or four additional reels. The copied symbols are then used to calculate the resulting wins.

This can produce some impressive combinations because a stack appearing on the first reel can suddenly be repeated across most of the game screen. A full stack copied across several reels can create multiple winning lines from the same feature, making this the main feature to watch for during regular play.

The Reel Copy feature is available during both the Base Game and Free Games, so it does not disappear once the bonus round begins. The feature is played using the bet from the triggering spin, with that bet remaining fixed while the feature is completed.

The Moon Bonus symbol acts as the game's Scatter. Landing 3, 4 or 5 Bonus symbols on a qualifying spin awards 5, 6 or 8 Free Games respectively. Scatter wins can also be added to line wins and are calculated using the total bet.

However, Copy Cat Fortune has a particularly interesting Free Games system. If multiple paylines contain winning Moon Bonus combinations, the awarded Free Games are added together. This means a single spin can award a much larger number of Free Games, with up to 200 Free Games potentially available from one triggering result.

Players who receive 10 or more Free Games get a choice between two bonus modes. They can take the standard Free Games or select 50 Lines Free Games, which increases the number of active paylines while reducing the number of spins.

The choices become even more interesting when 30 or more Free Games are awarded. Players can then choose between four options, including the regular and 50-line modes, plus Super Free Games and Mega Free Games.

Super Free Games provide fewer spins but add a 3x multiplier to wins. Mega Free Games reduce the number of spins even further but increase the multiplier to an impressive 5x. This gives players a genuine choice between having more opportunities to spin or taking fewer spins with a much larger multiplier.

The Reel Copy feature remains available throughout the different Free Games modes, meaning the bonus can combine its multiplier with copied stacks. This can create some very strong winning combinations when a valuable symbol is copied across several reels.

Overall, Copy Cat Fortune by RTG / SpinLogic has one of the more interesting Free Games systems in the RTG range. The Mystery Stacks and Reel Copy features already give the base game plenty of action, but the ability to choose between different Free Games modes adds another layer to the experience.

If you enjoy cat-themed slots, stacked symbols, and copied reels features then Copy Cat Fortune is well worth trying in free play. Watch the first reel carefully, because one lucky stack could soon be copied across the reels and turn a quiet spin into a much bigger win.
