Copy Cat Fortune

The Cat'S House Full in Full View

Load Copy Cat Fortune and you get a cat's house full of mirrors before you get anything else. Top of the paytable and top of the artwork, the same motif: a cat reflected in two mirrors at once. In Copy Cat Fortune that motif holds both together.

The rest of the high symbols in Copy Cat Fortune are a mirror, a ball of wool, a goldfish and a coin; card ranks handle the low end, as they do across most of the RTG catalogue. The colour work is silver, cream and turquoise highlights, and it is light-hearted rather than subtle.

Sound follows the same line — light-hearted, looping under the reels and stepping up only when a feature triggers. On a phone held upright the grid keeps the same proportions and the silver survives the shrink, which is not true of every title in the lobby — some lose their backgrounds entirely at that width.

Copy Cat Fortune identifies itself quickly, which counts for more in a lobby of this size than it would in a small one.

How Copy Cat Fortune Is Built

Strip the art away and Copy Cat Fortune is 5 reels, 3 rows and 25 paylines. Wins are read left to right from the first reel, and only the highest combination on each line counts, so a second cat further along the same line adds nothing. The cat is the top symbol, a mirror sits under it, and the card ranks below those are what most Copy Cat Fortune spins return.

Wild duty falls to Copy Cat Wild: the cat copies the symbol next to it. Top end on Copy Cat Fortune is 2,500× the total bet, and nothing on the base grid gets close to it — the number assumes Copy Cat Wild lines up.

Everything else on the grid is ordinary; Free Games is not: up to twenty spins with a whole reel copied each time. Practically, that means a session on Copy Cat Fortune divides into two very different modes, and judging the game on the base spins alone gives you half the picture.

What a Spin Actually Costs

Copy Cat Fortune is staked per line: pick a line bet, multiply by 25, and that is what a spin costs; every Copy Cat Fortune payout is quoted against that same line bet. That is also why 2,500× the total bet is written as a multiple rather than an amount — the Copy Cat Fortune ceiling moves with the stake.

Treat Copy Cat Fortune as a medium-volatility game — it balances regular small returns against occasional larger ones, which is the middle of the RTG range. Be careful with any RTP figure you find for Copy Cat Fortune elsewhere. RTG sets the return per operator, not per game, so Copy Cat Fortune runs differently from one casino to the next. The only figure worth trusting for Copy Cat Fortune is the one printed in its own paytable.

One practical note on staking Copy Cat Fortune: changing the bet between spins changes nothing but the price, and no state carries across — each Copy Cat Fortune spin is settled on its own. Autoplay handles the base grid of Copy Cat Fortune perfectly well. Set it to stop on Copy Cat Wild and you get the pace without losing the event.

Where Copy Cat Fortune Pays Its Best

Copy Cat Fortune carries three features, and they are where the game earns its place in the lobby rather than on the base grid.

Copy Cat Wild (the cat copies the symbol next to it). Everything else Copy Cat Fortune does on the base grid is a preamble to Copy Cat Wild.

Free Games — up to twenty spins with a whole reel copied each time. Free Games does not fire often on Copy Cat Fortune, and the game is built on the assumption that you are waiting for it.

Fortune Bonus. The paytable entry reads: pick a mirror for a payout. Watch for the Fortune Bonus trigger rather than the reels — on Copy Cat Fortune it is easier to miss than you would expect.

None of these fire on demand, and that is the point: Copy Cat Wild is worth having a balance left for, and the rest of Copy Cat Fortune is the wait.

Practical Notes Before You Spin

Size the stake on Copy Cat Fortune so the balance covers a few hundred spins — that is roughly the window in which the game shows you what it does. A limit set before Copy Cat Fortune loads is worth more than one set at the end of a losing run; the tools for it are in your account.

For wagering purposes Copy Cat Fortune counts as a slot, which means it contributes at the full rate, and the conditions are set out on the bonus page. Before staking Copy Cat Fortune, run it in practice mode until Copy Cat Wild has landed at least once — that wait tells you more about Copy Cat Fortune than the paytable does.

Resist the urge to raise the stake because Copy Cat Wild has not landed for a while: on Copy Cat Fortune it is no closer than it was, and the wait has just become more expensive. The responsible gaming page collects the limit tools and the independent support contacts in one place, and they apply to Copy Cat Fortune as to every other game here.
