Conclusion
Many prefer dogs over cats, but you can’t deny the majestic presence of our furry feline friends. They strut elegantly through the room safe in the knowledge that they own you, and they’re unapologetic in their reluctance or outright refusal to show you the affection that dogs hand over easily.
Push Gaming’s latest feline fiction puts cats on the highest pedestal there is, the pristine marble columns of Olympus. It’s a new experience from Push Gaming thematically, but elements of the game feel fairly familiar with features that are reminiscent of the popular Dinopolis series. The big difference here is the 4-reel feature set, which has been tried previously by Pragmatic Play‘s The Dog House Multihold, and Thunderkick’s Fortune Cats Golden Stacks, which coincidentally also featured cats.
Unlocking further reels makes Cats of Olmpuss quite exciting, though it can be extremely disheartening when you don’t unlock them. Some slots have the potential to kick off on any given spin, and Cats of Olympuss does too to an extent, but you’ll want those extra reel sets to see its true capabilities. Speaking of capabilities, Cats of Olympuss features a very satisfactory max in of 13,195x the bet.
Overall, Cats of Olympuss isn’t a headline act from Push Gaming, but it’s not at all disappointing either.
