Why our name is on this page
Reviewing a title like Cats sounds simple until you try to confirm a single RTP figure and find three different numbers across eight sources. We put our names on this page because we did that work for this exact slot: cross-checking IGT's split-symbol mechanic, the paw-print scatter trigger, and the bet ranges quoted by Canadian operators against each other. Where sources agreed, we wrote it plainly. Where they didn't, we said so once, clearly, instead of pretending certainty we don't have.
How we build a page like this one
Our process for a title like Cats starts with the provider's own material when it's available, then moves through independent technical reviews, regulator listings, and casino game libraries in provinces where the slot is actually offered — British Columbia, Manitoba, Alberta, Quebec, and the Atlantic provinces among them. For Cats, IGT itself doesn't publish the figures we'd normally cite first, so we relied on multiple third-party technical breakdowns instead.
That mattered here specifically. The RTP for Cats isn't a single tidy number — it ranges from roughly 93.04% up to 94.93% depending on how an operator configures it, with 94.93% showing up most consistently across the sources we checked. Rather than pick whichever figure looked cleanest, we reported the range and told you which value comes up most often.
The same approach applied to bet limits and hit frequency. Minimum and maximum bets on Cats vary a lot between operators — some list a 0.30 total minimum, others go as low as a cent per line with very different caps at the top end. We didn't average these into a fake universal number; we noted that the spread reflects casino-specific setup rather than one fixed game math.
We also flag when a title could be confused with something else. IGT has released several feline-themed slots — Cats Diamond Spins, Fort Knox Cats, MegaJackpots Cats — and mixing them up would mean reporting the wrong max win or feature set. Keeping those straight is part of the job, not a footnote.
What we won't do, and how we're funded
We don't invent numbers to fill gaps. If a provider hasn't published something, or if sources genuinely disagree beyond what a simple range can capture, we say so and move on — we don't dress up a guess as a fact because it reads better.
This site earns money through affiliate links to partner casinos. If you click through and play, we may receive a commission. That arrangement doesn't change which slots we cover or what we write about them; the review of Cats reads the same whether or not a given operator is a partner. We think you're entitled to know how the site is funded, so we're not burying it in a footer.
Gambling is entertainment, not income, and it carries real risk. In Canada, the legal minimum age is 19, except in Alberta, Manitoba, and Quebec, where it's 18. If gambling stops being fun or starts feeling necessary, provincial resources like ConnexOntario, Gamblers Anonymous chapters, or your provincial responsible gambling program are there to help.
We update pages like this one when new information surfaces — a regulator filing, a provider disclosure, or simply enough independent sources agreeing to narrow a range we'd previously left open. If you spot something that looks wrong or outdated, we'd rather hear about it than leave it uncorrected.
