Push Gaming Unveils Its First 243 Ways Slot with Cats of Olympuss

Push Gaming's latest release, Cats of Olympuss, invites players to join a pantheon of divine felines in a quest for fabled treasures. The game combines a unique theme with engaging gameplay mechanics, while also being their first slot with 243 ways to win. Inspired by their previous game, Dinopolis, the developers at Push Gaming aimed to innovate by introducing new twists and features that will come out no later than the 20th of June 2024. Let’s take a sneak peek at all the bells and whistles.

Visuals and Theme

The game features a vibrant, mythical theme centred around powerful feline deities. The character design is whimsical yet detailed, with divine cats depicted in regal attire, reinforcing the game's Olympian theme. The overall aesthetic is top-notch, just as you’d expect from this UK-based studio which is now owned by LeoVegas Group.

• Theme: Cats, Greek Gods

Progressive Free Spins Feature

The highlight of Cats of Olympuss is the Progressive Free Spins Feature. It’s triggered by landing 3 or more Scatters on reels 2, 3, or 4. Depending on the number, players receive various card picks:

• 3 Scatters: 2 card picks (Spins Picker Card and Upgrade Card)
• 4 Scatters: 3 card picks (Spins Picker Card and 2 Upgrade Cards)
• 5 Scatters: 4 card picks (Spins Picker Card and 3 Upgrade Cards)
• 6 Scatters: 5 card picks (Spins Picker Card and 4 Upgrade Cards).

During Free Spins, collecting 5 special Coins opens up the next reel array and retriggers the Card Pick Feature, adding layers of excitement and potential for significant wins. The card pick mechanic can award Stacked Wild Symbols with up to a 2x multiplier per pick. If a duplicate Stacked Wild card is selected, the multiplier is added, offering the potential for up to an 8x multiplier on a Stacked Wild Symbol.

Did you know: Cats of Olympuss is Push Gaming’s first game to feature a 4 reel slot feature.

Coin & Wild Symbols

During both the Base and Free Spins Features, Coin Symbols can land on the reels. These contain multipliers of up to 1,000x. Wins are paid left to right, and landing at least three of a kind, including Wild symbols, will result in a payout.

Push Bet

The Push Bet mode increases the base bet by 20%, enhancing the chance of landing the Shield Symbol and triggering the Free Spins Feature.

Bonus Buy

Players can purchase the Free Spins Feature using the Bonus Buy option. The available options are:

• 3 Bonus Symbols
• 4 Bonus Symbols
• Random Bonus Symbols.

RTP Variants

The game offers different RTP (Return to Player) variants to cater to various player preferences:

• Cats of Olympuss Variant 1: 96.31% (+ Push Bet: 96.26%)
• Cats of Olympuss Variant 3: 94.26% (+ Push Bet: 94.29%)
• Cats of Olympuss Variant 6: 88.67% (+ Push Bet: 88.73%)
• Cats of Olympuss Variant 7: 85.61% (+ Push Bet: 85.54%).

Win Potential

One of the most impressive aspects of Cats of Olympuss is its win potential. The highest observed win is 13,194x the bet, while the theoretical maximum win is an astonishing 23,442x the bet. This has only been topped by a few of their games in the past, most recently in Boss Bear, which came out in November 2023, but it’s also more volatile.

Final Thoughts

We are fans of Push Gaming slots. While we’re yet to try this feline slot at a Push Gaming casino later next month, the fact that it’s based on one of our favourites from 2021 has high expectations. The relatively smaller payout is justified given its lower variance, but we recommend picking a casino that offers the slot at the highest RTP to lock in the best possible baseline for your wins. Until then, check out their new DJ Cat slot with a Win What You See mechanic or Retro Sweets with Cluster Links.

P.S. Other Push Gaming slots to look out this summer include The Grand Show (17 July) and Razor Ways (7 August).
