Top Cat Slot

Graphics

Hoagy’s Alley is the setting, with every inch of the cartoonish style brought to our reels and our backdrop. The city stretches off behind the reelcase, towering above Top Cat’s trash can home as an ever-present reminder of what TC dreams to achieve. Top Cat himself appears as the game’s super stacked top paying symbol and is joined by Brain, Choo-Choo, Benny the Ball, Fancy-Fancy and Spook.

More regular Jacks through Aces bring up the rear as the game’s low-paying symbols. The whole gang appear as a group in the Bonus Scatter, which leads us to a shady room in the Masterplan feature. We then choose our bonus round, during which we are treated to madcap animations and TC’s classic cartoon repertoire.

The randomly triggered Fancy Fancy Hot Dog Re-spins bonus offers yet more zany action as Fancy Fancy dangles a hot dog over the reels when we land a Stacked Hot Dog Scatter on reel 5. He dabs and dips the hot dog over the reels to substitute for symbols and complete extra winning combos in comedic fashion.

Gameplay

Blueprint Gaming loves a randomly triggered bonus feature, and the Fancy Fancy Hot Dog Re-spins game is not the only one on show here. It is joined by:

● Benny’s Colossal TVs - Benny sends stacked TVs onto the reels which turn into mystery symbols.
● Brain’s Water Wilds - Brain sets off fire hydrants underneath the reels to turn them Wild.
● Choo’s Piano Wilds - Random Wilds add to the reels to concoct extra wins.
● Spook’s Mice Is Nice - Cheeky mice appear on the reels to rearrange symbols into a guaranteed win.

But that’s just the random bonuses. We trigger the main bonus feature, the Masterplan, when we land three Bonus Scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5. We then pick a plan to reveal one of these bonus games:

● Cash Picker Bonus – choose from a selection of bins, unveiling multipliers until we reveal Officer Dibble.
● Diner Free Spins – collect wilds as we hunt for big wins on these free spins.
● Dibble’s Free Spins – a free spins round with additional Wilds thrown in.
● Construction Site Wilds – unlimited free spins until we collect five meal tickets.
● Maharajah Heist – a two-stage trail game offering multipliers and cash prizes throughout.

Verdict

While Top Cat is surely the indisputable, it is only right and fair that all of his gang, and even his nemesis, Officer Dibble, make appearances with their own bonus round or additional feature.

The fact that the Top Cat online slot forms the crowning jewel in Blueprint Gaming’s Jackpot King progressive jackpot series is both fitting and justified. Much like the original cartoon, Blueprint’s online slot version is both enjoyable and timeless.
