Temple of Paw Demo: A Lucky Cat, a Climbing Multiplier and a Wheel

Each tumble in the base game adds one, and every spin starts at x1

Base-game tumbles raise the multiplier by 1 each, however many lines won, and the next win on that spin is paid at the new value. All 500 spins of our log began at x1.

Most climbs stop early. Of 126 winning spins, 93 stopped at x2 with nothing from the tumble; 33 won again. Spin 294 went furthest: €0.75 at x1, €0.30 at x2, €0.30 at x3, €5.00 at x4, €1.00 at x5.

First-screen wins paid €89.85 of our €197.75, wins after a tumble €107.90. The best spin, 406, paid €1.10 at x1 and then €13.20 at x2, mostly hearts.

Inside the free spins every removed symbol counts

Pawsperity Free Spins change the step: +1 for every winning symbol removed, so a line of three that adds 1 in the base game adds 3 here, with no reset until the bonus ends. Quickspin's page speaks of unlimited multipliers, and the rules state no cap.

During the bonus, three to five Cat Scatters add 3, 5 or 7 spins. Twenty-two spins, the top rung, come only from the Gamble.

That frame comes from our bought round below, which opened at x1.

Gamble or collect: the rungs from 7 to 22 spins

The choice comes after the bonus is won and before its first spin. A player may keep gambling until six Scatters are held or a gamble is lost, and COLLECT is open at every stage; spins added by a later retrigger can never be staked.

Neither the paytable nor Quickspin's page prints the chance of winning, and a drawn wheel is no probability. If a bonus were worth an amount in step with its spins, going from 7 to 10 would need 70 wins in 100 to break even, 10 to 15 about 67, 15 to 22 about 68. Spin count is a rough measure, as the multiplier never falls during the bonus.

Ten free spins won on spin 323, and gone after one gamble

Our 500-spin log at €1.00 returned 39.6%, and not one free spin was played in it. Our hit rate was 25.2%, a little under the sheet's 26.64%; half the wins were worth 0.5x or less, and losses ran to 17 in a row at most.

The bonus did trigger once. On spin 323 a Wild and two diamonds paid €0.15, the tumble dropped three Cat Scatters onto reels 1 to 3 beside one on reel 4, and the server awarded 10 free spins. Nobody chose that gamble. Our logging software answers the screen by itself, and its default for this game, option 1, is GAMBLE (COLLECT is option 0). The server logged a lost gamble and closed the round without a single free spin.

At the sheet's 1 in 130 for a 15x win, 500 spins without one happen about 2 times in 100, and at 1 in 594 for 100x about 57 runs in 100 would hold one. Our best was 14.3x, and the balance ended on its low, €4,697.75.

A 100x purchase still ends at the wheel

The Buy Feature opens Pawsperity Free Spins on three or more Cat Scatters, at the frequency of a natural trigger, and the bonus then plays as usual. By the paytable it may be missing in some markets, and Quickspin gives the purchase no RTP figure.

Each of our two purchases took the balance from €5,000.00 to €4,900.00 and stopped on the wheel above, offering 10 spins for 7, so a bought bonus can be staked too. The second time we pressed COLLECT. The server returned the whole round at once: 13 free spins for €71.50, 71.5% of the price. By the retrigger table, only two retriggers of 3 turn the 7 collected into 13.

Over those spins the multiplier climbed from x1 to x39. They played on screen but were not filmed; the clip runs from the bought spin through the wheel and the COLLECT press to the first free spins screen.

Where the cat sits beside Eastern Emeralds and the Megaways wolf

Eastern Emeralds, also rated 5 of 5, asks for a decision before its bonus too: four Destiny cards trade spins for multiplier values, and none of them leaves you with nothing. Here only COLLECT is free of risk.

The Megaways wolf, Big Bad Wolf Megaways, also keeps its free spins multiplier from falling, but adds 1 per win, not per symbol, and its buy costs 90x the bet.

On our evidence the base game is quiet, 39.6% back with the multiplier rarely past x2, while the sheet gives the free game 48.14% of the RTP. How many spins you take into it depends on the Gamble, and the demo lets you try that wheel on play money.
