Top Cat Cash
How well do you remember Top Cat? Made in the 60s, it was a cartoon about a set of alley cats set in New York and ran for 30 episodes. But while it may be 55 years old, it has always seemed as fresh as anything just released. After all, which of us hasn’t dreamed of thinking up some scheme to make us a fortune? And using our mates to be part of the fun. The schemes may have been illegal, but there was always a Del Boy and his market stall like charm to them.
So it’s great to see Top Cat and his friend licensed for the free Top Cat Cash game by Imaginative Gaming. There’s no slots and no reels but there is the chance to win £5,000. And Office Dibble won’t be able to take it off you. Oh boy!
Hat’s Off to Top Cat
You’ll feel the biggest pang of nostalgia when you see the alley way, where so many of the adventures took place. Things are kept simple. There’s no introductory sound music which is a pity, but the funky lettering in the logo is there. It’s on top left of the screen in small lettering. And all the show favourites are there. As all the characters are in bins, you can’t see them. And that adds an element of intrigue too, as well as encouraging you to play the game. You’ll also see 7 t-shirts with the 6 cats and Office Dibble being shown. The 50,000 credit prize is highlighted above the bins. A nice touch is the bins rattling, before a pair of eyes pop out of each rubbish bin. The noises are comedy sound effects. It will encourage you to play for sure.
Bin When You’re Winning
There are 9 equal sized bins on the online Top Cat Cash. Even after you click on one you will hear the same sound effects unless you switch them off. You can click on them on any order. Each time you do one of either Top Hat, Benny the Ball, Brain, Fancy-Fancy, Spook, Choo-Choo or Officer Dibble pops up. As the screen is small, there isn’t any space to label them, but diehard fans will already know them. Once chosen, the character stays out and matches with one of the 7 t-shirts hanging on the washing line. Unsurprisingly, Top Hat is worth the most at £5,000, with law enforcement only valued at £1. There aren’t any distinctive mannerisms from any of the characters. The values between are between £2 and £100. If you find an already eaten fish, you’ll pick up £5. When you get a winning set of 3 matches, the phone falls down from Dibble’s phone box. Unlike other games out there, there isn’t any reward for 2 of a kind, or the chance to get more than 3 of something. But it is fun and quick to play. There’s no download needed and you can play for free before you decide to play for real money.
Other Top Cartoons
While there are countless films represented in online games, especially regarding superhero franchises, there aren’t as many from TV shows. That isn’t to say they aren’t there, or that there isn’t a growing market. One of these is Casper’s Mystery Mirror. Set in a haunted house, it has 5 reels, 40 paylines and an RTP of 94.93%. The visuals are fantastic, the symbols well-chosen and the music suitably spooky. The Free Spins aren’t a high amount, but they can be retriggered. Within these extra spins, the Mystery Mirror symbols can appear and randomly change to one of those symbols, giving the opportunities for more wins.
Another to compare, American Dad, is a lot more recent. Indeed, though set up 12 years, the cartoon is still going strong. And the slot shows that energy. The music is there, as are all 6 members of the Smith family. There are 40 paylines and a maximum of 200 credits per bet. Where the game is best though, is on the bonus side. Not just for how varied they are, but for how they incorporate the tone of the show. One of these is Hayley collecting signatures (every signature is an increased multiplier) and Roger vomiting producing Wildcard symbols.
