This slot is based on an Asian cartoon, of which I have little knowledge of. As such, it is hard to say if it pays proper homage or if it is just a cheap knock-off. The quality of the slot would argue for the former. Indeed, looking at the reels you do get a feeling of a cartoon slot.
Top Trend Gaming is one of the best gaming companies to come out of Asia, and it is proven time and time again through their slots. Big wins and a world of free games awaits you here. Even if you are unfamiliar with the theme this slot might be worth a look.
Theme
So, the series is originally from the 80s and the graphics and animations in the game fit this. Although, I would argue that the graphics look way more sharp, which makes them especially fitting for mobile devices. The theme would be best described as a game of cat and mouse.
The audio effects are a bit more aged than the updated graphics here, but still entirely fitting for the game. Also, unfortunately, most of these only come into play when you roll the reels and are somewhat shortlived. A little bit more content would have gone a long way here.
Betting Options and Functions
The playing field is a bit larger than the norm, offering twenty symbol positions across five reels. The paylines have been extended to take advantage of this. The betting level is a bit higher than normal, starting from 0.80 coins per spin. Though this might change from casino to casino.
With the lowest bet levels, the returns are still pretty decent. Catching the thieving mice will net you a thousand times your line bet, with other symbols paying between five and 250 times your line bet.
Features
During the basic game, the Detective works as a scatter and a wild, showing up in the middle reels only. As a wild the symbol substitutes for all others, whereas as a scatter it triggers numerous bonus spins. When in bonus mode the Detective shows up as a wild only, showing up on all reels except the first one.
Between six and 12 scatters will trigger between three and 21 free games, with each extra scatter adding three games to the mix. Besides the wild acting a sticky, there’s not much more to the feature than this.
Our Take
Having watched a few episodes of the cartoon (research!) I much prefer the slot over it.This game is one of those games where the source material is inferior to the derivative work. The game itself is mainly a mix of bonus games and a chase for five symbol combinations. Nothing extraordinary in a sense, but something that you might want to check out for the unique theme, or simply to get to know Top Trend Gaming better.
