Come face to face with the most feared feline in town in The Catfather Part II. This Pragmatic Play slot machine follows a long line of novelty slot machines which parody the classic Godfather trilogy by Francis Ford Coppola, such as Microgaming's Dogfather, BetSoft's Slotfather and NextGen's Codfather.
This particular release isn't even the first of its kind, acting as a sequel to an earlier release by the same software company. So what has changed?
Well, this second instalment of the moggy mafia slot machine features many of the same characters and it still offers wins that pay both ways. However, the game has been upgraded with a whopping 30 paylines as opposed to its predecessor's 9 paylines. What's more, the game promises to boost lucky player's wins with a round of free spins that will multiply all wins by 15x.
It is one of the most contentious questions in the world of cinema: which is better, the Godfather: Part I, or The Godfather: Part II? Many fans of the excellent mafia movie will contend that the second instalment in the trilogy is the best of the bunch, revealing the early life of Vito Corleone as his son Michael takes on the role of Don in the crime family. Well, there is a new argument to be had about whether The Catfather Part II is better than its predecessor or not.
From a visual perspective, this game is certainly just as good as the one which came before it, presenting a full family of feline characters in stunning 3D detail. There is one notable exclusion from the reels, however, with no chubby faced ginger cat on the reels or mentioned in the paytable. Is this a nod to the fact that the chubby-cheeked Vito played by Marlon Brando popped his clogs at the end of the first Godfather film?
As far as gameplay is concerned, this slot machine offers a marked upgrade from the first instalment of The Catfather franchise. That is because the game has a total of 30 paylines on the reels as oppose to the 9 that were used on the original slot machine. The game even offers more valuable line bet multiplier prizes with the vast majority of cat characters returning bigger wins than they did before.
To give you an example, five bowler hat wearing cats would have got you a line bet prize of 200x in The Catfather I while the same combination will provide a prize of 500x in this game.
The top jackpot remains the same, however, with five wild black cat symbols paying a line bet multiplier of 5,000x. Players can play with up to 10 coins on each permanently fixed payline with coin values ranging up to 0.50 credits. That makes for a maximum total bet of 300 credits and grand jackpot of 25,000 credits. Not a bad return at all for a 30 payline video slot, especially one which pays wins in both directions.
Not only does the wild black cat icon offer the biggest wins in this slot machine, but it will also also help punters to create wins by substituting for any non-bonus icon on the reels. These wilds could be very rewarding indeed thanks to a “Random Stacked Wilds” feature that is arbitrarily triggered after every spin.
These stacked wilds are guaranteed on at least one reel during the slot machine's bonus feature. This bonus round is a simple set of free spins, triggered by finding at least three golden suitcase scatter icons in any position on the reels. There is also a possibility that these free games will be multiplied for even bigger bonus returns. The size of the multiplier depends on how many bonus scatters trigger the feature:
If you were a fan of the first Catfather slot machine, then it is safe to say that you are going to thoroughly enjoy what The Catfather Part II has to offer.
While the design and style is more or less the same in this sequel slot, the gameplay has been vamped up to include a total of 30 paylines, bigger base game wins and a potential to play some free spins with a 15x multiplier. Now that is an offer you cannot refuse!
