Top Cat Most Wanted Jackpot King Slot – Free Demo

Blueprint Gaming
The sequel keeps the cartoon and throws out the machine. Where the original hides five bonus rounds behind a blind pick, Most Wanted prints cash values on the gang's mugshots and pays you for collecting them — half the paylines, a different engine, and three points more return than the game it…

Most Wanted is a different machine to the Top Cat slot it shares a licence with
Blueprint released Top Cat Most Wanted Jackpot King on 21 November 2020, five years after the original Top Cat, and the sequel keeps almost nothing but the cartoon. The line count drops from 20 to 10. The Master Plan bonus board is gone. In its place is a cash-on-reels engine: the gang appear as police mugshots with a cash value printed across the nameplate, and the money is what you are chasing rather than a payline multiplier. The reported RTP moves the other way to the usual sequel pattern — 95.47% here against 92.48% on the original build we tested.
Minty’s Closing Thought: Read the mugshot values before you read anything else — Spook posts 4.00 and 10.00, Fancy-Fancy 20.00, Brain 30.00, Choo-Choo 40.00, Benny 50.00 and Top Cat himself 100.00, all at a 2.00 stake. That ladder, not the paytable, is where this game's variance lives. The 95.47% RTP is three points better than the original Top Cat build, which is unusual for a Jackpot King title and the main reason to pick this one over its predecessor.
Every character on the reels carries a price tag
The reel set is busier than the line count suggests, because the character symbols arrive as stacked wanted posters and each one carries its own cash figure. Around them sit the low-value card royals, a fish-bone plate, a Top Cat trash can and a money-bag symbol. Overhead, the Jackpot King frame shows the Royal Pot and Regal Pot meters, both sitting empty.
The stretch I recorded went one way only. The balance walked down from 1,000.00 to 882.00 with line pays of 2.00 and 4.00 breaking the fall, and the Top Cat poster at 100.00 landed twice without ever completing into anything. The big numbers stay visible whether or not they are doing anything, and that is the design working as intended.
Three Bonus symbols, and Officer Dibble finally does his job
The feature trigger is three Bonus symbols — the one showing Top Cat being chased by Officer Dibble. Mine landed on reels two, four and five with the balance reading 882.00, and the game cuts to Dibble chasing the whole gang down the alley before the free-spin round loads.
Ten free spins, and a police badge that changes the maths
The round is called Dibble Trouble Free Spins and it opens with a fixed ten spins — three counters run along the bottom of the frame for spins used, bonus winnings and spins left, so there is no ambiguity about where you are in it. The part that matters shows up on the fourth spin: a Police Badge symbol carrying its own figure, 28.00 in my round. Between that spin and the eighth the winnings counter moved from 2.00 to 33.00, which reads as the badge collecting the posted mugshot values rather than a run of ordinary line pays.
The round closed on spin ten at 35.00 with the counter at zero spins left. Against the 2.00 stake that is 17.5× from one trigger, and the balance bar told the same story on the way out: 882.00 when the Bonus symbols landed, 915.00 when the base game resumed. Not a session-defining hit, but enough of the feature to see how it pays.
Ways in, and one thing that does not carry over
There is no buy option, so the only routes into a feature are the three Bonus symbols or the Jackpot King ladder, which triggers independently of the free spins and feeds the Royal and Regal pots displayed above the reels. My recorded stretch behaved the way the mid-volatility label promises: a slow bleed across ten paylines, broken once by a feature worth roughly seventeen stakes. Blueprint has the game geo-blocked in Australia and Israel. Worth flagging for anyone arriving from the Top Cat original: the mugshot values shown on the reels are cash figures tied to your stake, not multipliers of the line win, which is why the paytable comparison between the two Top Cat titles does not transfer.
Which of the two to load
On the numbers this is the better-built of the two Top Cat slots: three points more return, and a feature whose progress you can read while it runs instead of a blind pick between five rounds you cannot see. The cost is that there is only the one feature, always ten spins, with nothing branching off it. I have not seen the badge land on a full screen of high-value mugshots, and that is the version of this round worth waiting for.
