Even if you have never seen The Godfather, you’ll recognize where Pragmatic Play is going with this slot idea. They’ve put a twist on this famous movie by putting cats in the roles instead. Some of them look shifty, too!
Let’s check out the original game and its sequel, The Catfather Part II. Which one is the winner here, and will you be a winner if you give them a try?
The Catfather
The original five-reel game packs a lot in, with nine paylines to bet on. There are two black cats as a wild, but you could get stacked wilds on reels two, three, or four – or a combination of them – if you get lucky. The scatter is cute, shown as a white mouse with glasses wrapped up in rope! Three or more will award a prize, and you would also get up to 25 free games for this. All wins are given a generous 4x multiplier as well.
The Catfather Part II
The sequel also plays out on five reels. You get an increased number of paylines though, with 30 in action. These also pay from right to left, as well as the more typical left to right. The random stacked wilds feature occurs just the same here as it did in the original game. You could also win 10 free spins whenever you find three or more golden briefcases. Another three or more in the free spins will award five more, and you can do this as many times as possible. Every spin will also guarantee at least one reel of stacked wilds.
Our verdict: Which game do we prefer?
We do like the original game, but this is a classic example of how an original slot game can be made bigger and better for the sequel. The Catfather Part II has the same familiar feel to it and retains the best bits of the first game. However, the free spins feature has been enhanced, even though you won’t win any more than 10 free spins initially.
It is this detail that makes the sequel the winner for us. If you haven’t tried these games yet, start with the original and then give the sequel a try. We think this is the best order to play them in. Hopefully, they will both be lucky for you when you play.
