Amazing Link Catalleros Slot Review
Three suited cats preside over a coin-stacked card table in Amazing Link Catalleros, a backroom den of red deco wallpaper and whisky glasses that SpinPlay Games has drawn with real affection. The gamble the studio has taken here is that a free spins menu can be the whole game: there’s no retrigger, no second-chance mechanic, and the three rounds on offer differ in kind rather than in number, which is rarer in this series than it should be.
The numbers underneath are familiar: a 5×3 grid, 20 fixed paylines, high volatility and a 96.33% RTP, with bets from 0.20 to 50 per spin. Sister slots like Amazing Link Medusa and Amazing Link Apollo tread the same ground, and a jackpot ladder tops out at a MEGA worth 5,000x the bet. The cats, at least, dress the part.
Base Game & Features
Wins land the traditional way here: matching symbols on a payline, running left to right from the first reel. If multiple winning combinations land on a single payline, only the highest one is awarded, and the total payout is the sum of every payline win from the spin.
The number of paylines is fixed at 20, so every spin plays the full grid. The total bet works out as an equal initial stake on each line, and payline wins are paid against that initial bet rather than the full spin cost. Wins aren’t constant – the hit rate sits at 28.74% – and a banner over the reels advertises wins over 5,000x.
The Catalleros symbols are wild, substituting for everything except the Bonus and Amazing symbols, and they can form their own winning combinations on a payline. The reel spins themselves can be stopped early or sped up, though neither changes the result of a spin.
Amazing Link Feature
Landing six or more Amazing symbols anywhere on the reels triggers the Amazing Link feature. You get three respins, with every triggering symbol locked in place while the rest of the grid spins again.
Each new Amazing symbol that lands locks in place too, and resets the remaining respins back to three. Every locked symbol carries a cash prize based on the total bet, and all prizes pay out when the feature ends – either when the respins run out or when the grid fills completely.
Fill all fifteen positions and the MEGA prize is awarded on top, which is the feature’s whole endgame.
Pick Feature
Amazing symbols that land during the base game collect above the reels, and that collection can randomly trigger the Pick feature after any spin or after an Amazing Link round. It’s a simple match-three: pick icons until you match a trio, and win the corresponding prize.
It can’t trigger from inside free spins, and if the Amazing Link feature fires, all its symbols collect on completion. There’s a Pick Feature Autoplay option that selects the icons for you, though it doesn’t change the outcome.
The jackpot ladder behind both features pays as a multiple of the total bet, and it’s the same ladder whichever route gets you there:
- MEGA – 5,000x the total bet
- MAJOR – 500x the total bet
- MINOR – 50x the total bet
- MINI – 20x the total bet
Amazing Link Catalleros Free Spins
Three Bonus symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 – the only reels they appear on – trigger the Free Spins Selection. The Bonus symbols don’t pay anything themselves; they’re purely a key to the door.
Behind that door is a choice of three rounds, each named for one of the suited felines, though some selections have to be unlocked by playing the feature first:
- Tabby Catallero – 10 free spins, with one randomly selected reel containing only Wild Amazing symbols on every spin
- Tuxedo Catallero – 10 free spins, with all royal symbols (A, K, Q, J, 10, 9) removed from the reels
- Calico Catallero – 3 free spins, with the royals removed and one randomly selected reel of only Wild Amazing symbols per spin
During free spins the reels switch to Amazing Reels, which carry only Wild and Amazing symbols, and the Wild Amazing symbol substitutes for everything except the Bonus symbol. The round plays out at the bet and lines of the triggering spin, and it cannot be retriggered – what you pick is what you get.
Buy Feature
If waiting for the Bonus symbols isn’t your style, the Buy Feature instantly triggers Epic Free Spins – upgraded versions of all three rounds:
- Tabby Catallero – upgraded from 10 to 15 free spins
- Tuxedo Catallero – upgraded from 10 to 15 free spins
- Calico Catallero – upgraded from 3 to 5 free spins
The buy costs 100x the total bet and runs at the same 96.33% RTP as the base game, so there’s no mathematical penalty for skipping the queue. It’s available in the base game only, isn’t offered above a certain bet threshold, and some Epic selections again need unlocking through play.
Our Honest Verdict
Overall Rating: 7.1/10
This is mostly a game of sitting at the table and waiting for the boss to deal. Spins are quiet, the artwork makes the waiting easier than it has any right to be, and the reason anybody pulls up a chair is the free spins menu: three rounds that differ in kind, not just in count.
The best thing here is the Calico round, and it’s the braver design for it. Three spins, every one carrying a guaranteed wild reel and no filler, is sharper and more honest than ten spins of hoping.
The worst is the Pick feature, a three-tap jackpot flip with no decision in it, and it stings more because a free spins round that can’t retrigger means a good pick is all a session ever gets. This one’s for jackpot hunters who already like the Amazing Link engine and want it dressed by a decent tailor. Line-pay chasers will find this table pays its regulars in respins rather than five-of-a-kinds, and the cats keep their chips for the bonuses.
