Something ancient and mysterious is coming to EnergyCasino, but not with Rich Wilde!
Over the years, we’ve seen this daring explorer go on all sorts of adventures. He’s gone toe to toe with ancient Egyptian gods, navigated the pearls of India and has even travelled beyond the tethers of our world to battle the great Cthulhu.
But, Rich Wilde is now passing on the explorer baton to his daughter Cat. Follow her first great quest in Cat Wilde and the Lost Chapter — one of Play’n GO’s latest slots to hit screens.
GAMEPLAY
Unearthing ancient Egyptian secrets and discovering lost treasures is the first step to becoming a fully fledged explorer. And Cat Wilde knows this all too well.
In typical Play’n GO fashion, Cat Wilde and the Lost Chapter is a high-quality slot with crispy clean graphics and top-notch game mechanics. Long-time Play’n GO fans may spot a number of similarities with the Book of Dead slot, but this game has a few features that set it apart.
ROWS, REELS AND PAYLINES
Cat Wilde and the Lost Chapter is far from your average joe, but players may find comfort in the fact that the general layout is pretty familiar. This slot features three rows and five paylines, very conventional traits in typical slot machines.
Here’s where things get a little more complex — the paylines are not fixed. This means that players can adjust their wager according to the number of active paylines. Players can select a maximum of 10 active paylines, giving the slot an RTP of 96.20% (this may change over time).
THE THEME
As players enter the pyramid, they’ll find a lavish tomb perfectly fit for a pharaoh. Each reel is adorned with ornate symbols and gold treasure. Eagle-eyed players will also nose out high pillars with hieroglyphics with two massive burning torches illuminating them all.
The artwork and design perfectly recreates the eerie atmosphere of a hidden tomb — but what else can you expect from Play’n GO?
SYMBOLS
This slot features 12 impressive symbols, each of which is elaborately designed. These include the classic A, K, Q, J and 10 to represent the lower-valued symbols; the jackal-headed Anubis, Ankhs, scarabs, followed by the heroine herself, represent the higher-valued symbols.
On top of that, the Cat Wilde and the Lost Chapter slot also includes three special symbols that trigger unique bonuses.
GAME FEATURES
Cat Wilde and the Lost Chapter comes with a Wild symbol, represented by a golden scroll. This symbol substitutes for all other symbols on the reels — with the exception of the two Scatter symbols — to help form more winning paylines.
The game also includes two Scatter symbols represented by a blue pyramid and a red pyramid. The red pyramid symbol will only be available during the Free Spins bonus round.
CAT WILDE AND THE LOST CHAPTER BONUS ROUNDS
Landing three or more blue pyramid Scatter symbols will activate the Free Spins bonus round in which eight free spins will be awarded. Before the round begins, a special Expanding symbol will be selected at random to expand over multiple positions on the reels in the hopes of forming more winning paylines.
During this time players might also be able to activate the Pyramid Spins feature which awards additional free spins. This bonus is triggered by landing at least two red pyramid symbols on the same spin. The Expanding Wild featured in the Free Spins bonus round will also be active in the Pyramid Spins feature.

OUR THOUGHTS
Cat Wilde and the Lost Chapter acts as a sequel to the adventures of Rich Wilde — and we have to say we’re impressed. The graphics in this game are a great step up to those in the Book of Dead slot, and the overall Egyptian theme is pretty spot on.
The game features and layout aren’t all that revolutionary compared to other complex slots out there, but Cat Wilde and the Lost Chapter offers excellent win potential nonetheless.
