Phat Cats Megaways, developed by Kalamba Games, features 6 reels with variable rows ranging from 2 to 8. Instead of traditional paylines, the game offers up to 200,704 ways to win through the Megaways mechanism. Players can place bets from a minimum of 0.20 to a maximum of 50. The game boasts an RTP of 96.15%, slightly above the industry average, and offers high volatility, potentially leading to a maximum win of 20,000 times the bet.

The game's setting appears to be an office environment, characterized by subdued lighting and a slowly burning cigar. However, the atmosphere undergoes a dramatic transformation when the game's music is enabled, featuring an upbeat tune with a prominent bass line, enhancing the overall experience.

The game depicts analog phones, vintage radios, and city skylines visible through office windows, suggesting a nostalgic era. Phat Cats Megaways is accessible on various devices, including mobiles, tablets, and desktop computers. Winning combinations are formed by landing 3 or more matching symbols on consecutive reels, starting from the leftmost reel.

Lower-paying symbols consist of classic royal symbols: 10, J, Q, K, A, each paying 0.2 times the bet for six of a kind. Higher-paying symbols depict stylishly dressed fat cats, with six-of-a-kind combinations offering payouts ranging from 0.75 times to 3 times the bet. Additionally, several special symbols may appear. Wild symbols substitute for all regular paying symbols, while Scatter symbols depict a car with the word "bonus" underneath, triggering the Free Spins feature when 3 or more land. Golden Coin symbols award prize values, and Mystery symbols reveal a joint symbol. Let's delve into the features.

Wild Symbol: Wild symbols substitute for all other symbols except Scatter, Coins, and Mystery symbols, increasing the chances of forming winning combinations.

Scatter Symbol:

Landing 3 or more Scatter symbols (Bonus) triggers the Free Spins feature.

Mystery Symbol:

Mystery symbols reveal either a regular paying symbol or a Coin. During a spin, reels with Mystery symbols nudge down one position.

Upgrade & Lock Symbol:

The Upgrade symbol (key) appears on the special reel above the slot and locks the reel below it, increasing the number of rows on the reel by one for the next spin. The Lock symbol only locks the reel below it.

Coin Symbol:

Each Coin symbol features a random multiplier. Players receive a prize equal to the sum of all multipliers attached to Coin symbols multiplied by the bet value.

Free Spins:

Landing 3 or more Scatter symbols triggers the Free Spins feature. The bonus starts with 4 active rows on reel 2 and reel 5, both filled with Mystery symbols. The feature continues until no Mystery symbols are visible on the reels. After each spin, the win multiplier increases by 1.

Bonus Buy:

For those looking to jump straight into the Free Spins feature, it can be purchased for 149 times the bet.
