Book of Cats MEGAWAYS (BGaming) – Review & Demo Play

Book of Cats Megaways - Game Overview

I’ve spent time with Book of Cats Megaways, and the Ancient Egypt theme lands well enough. Cleopatra is the top symbol, while Bastet shows up across premium positions. The Megaways setup shifts the grid to six reels with two to seven rows, giving up to 117,649 ways to win. The base game can feel as dry as a desert walk, which fits the genre. Presentation sits in line with other book slots, but the RTP sits high at 96.95% and volatility is punchy.

This follow-up strips away the extra reel gimmick from the original and leans into the dynamic grid. The whole experience feels larger without changing the core flow. Cleopatra even throws a cheeky wink on wins, which adds a touch of life. The real twist arrives in the feature, where multiplier book wilds up to x10 change the pace. That single shift makes the bonus more engaging than the base, and it supports the headline 10,000x potential.

Book of Cats Megaways Slot Features

The book symbol does double duty as wild and scatter, landing on reels two to six. As a scatter it pays 5x, 25x, or 100x your bet for three, four, or five in view, and it triggers twelve free spins regardless of the number that launch it. I’ve retriggered by landing three or more books during the feature, which simply adds the same twelve spins. As a wild, the book substitutes for regular pay symbols to help build combinations.

During free spins, each book wild carries a random x2, x3, x5, or x10 multiplier. If more than one wild helps a single win, those multipliers add together before the payout is applied. Before the round starts, a special expanding symbol is chosen. When enough of that symbol lands, it expands to fill its reels and pays without needing to sit adjacent, which is the classic book mechanic working neatly with Megaways.

Between base spins I can activate Chance x2, which increases bonus frequency for a cost of fifty percent extra per spin. Where allowed, there’s feature buy as well. Paying 100x the bet triggers the standard bonus, and paying 150x starts a bonus where the expanding symbol is guaranteed to be premium. UK players do not get access to feature buy, so the only route there is organic triggers or using Chance x2 if available.

Symbols and Paytable in Book of Cats Megaways

The premium symbols pay between 2x and 10x the stake for six of a kind, with Cleopatra as the top symbol and Bastet represented in several premium forms. The book counts as both wild and scatter on reels two to six, paying 5x, 25x, or 100x for three, four, or five in view. In the feature a special symbol is selected to expand when enough land, and those wins pay on any reels rather than requiring adjacent positions.

RTP and Max Win in Book of Cats Megaways

Book of Cats Megaways runs at 96.95% RTP with no ranges advertised, paired with high volatility and a max win of 10,000x the bet. The grid is six reels with two to seven rows enabling up to 117,649 ways. Hit rate sits at 24.81%, while free spins arrive on average about once in 189 spins in long play. With Chance x2 or feature buy active, RTP is listed at 96% in the data, so factor that into your approach.

The 200 Spins Book of Cats Megaways Slot Experience

Across a two hundred spin session the base game gave me long stretches of dead spins, which matches the high variance tag. The shifting ways can help, yet the grid often cools off between teases. I opted to buy the top-tier bonus in the test clip around the forty five second mark and landed the round with three book scatters. That mirrors typical triggers I’ve seen when it drops naturally as well.

The feature opened with twelve free spins and the selected expanding symbol doing the heavy lifting when it lined up. Multiplier book wilds made the better hits, especially when two or more added together on the same win. Outcomes swing a lot from round to round, but the mechanics align with that 10,000x ceiling. The highlights show the flow without spoilers, and they reflect how the bonus can outshine the base when the setup lands in step.

Review Summary for Book of Cats Megaways

Compared to the original, Book of Cats Megaways trades fixed lines for a larger, flexible grid and ditches the extra reel wrinkle. Symbol values are lower to fit the 117,649 ways model, but the headline prize stays at 10,000x. Audiovisually it sits close to its roots, while the gameplay leans on the bonus for excitement. Base spins can feel arid, so I toggle Chance x2 when the bankroll allows sometimes.

The twist that matters is the random x2 to x10 book wilds in free spins, layered on top of the familiar expanding symbol. That pairing gives the feature its bite without turning the slot into hard work. With 96.95% RTP and high volatility, I treat it as a game where patience and feature timing pay. If you want a Megaways book slot with a tidy tweak, this one holds its own.
