Games Like Cats: 8 Similar Slots to Play Next

Great Rhino Deluxe by Pragmatic Play runs on five reels with 20 fixed paylines at medium volatility, matching the structural backbone of Cats precisely. The mechanic that drives its bigger moments differs: rather than the split-symbol system, it relies on free spins, respins, and sticky wilds. The stated maximum win of 6,242x gives it a clear ceiling figure. The RTP of 96.54% sits clearly above Cats', which matters over longer sessions.

For players drawn to Cats by its even, medium-volatility cadence on a fixed five-reel grid, this is the most structurally comparable alternative on this page. The mechanic is different but the format contract is the same.

Wolf Gold from Pragmatic Play is a five-reel animal-theme slot on fixed paylines at medium volatility, placing it in the same format class as Cats. Its headline mechanic is the Money Respin feature: when six or more money symbols land in the base game, three respins begin with those symbols held in place. That is a different trigger logic from the split-symbol system in Cats, but the shared volatility band means the outer session rhythm is comparable. The RTP of 96.01% is above Cats' rate, a meaningful practical advantage for longer sessions.

Players who come to Cats for its five-reel fixed format and animal-world setting will recognise the structure here immediately, even if the route to the wins is distinct.

Big Cat King Megaways by Blueprint Gaming is the most direct theme successor to Cats on this page, centering on big-cat imagery across five reels. The structural difference is significant: where Cats uses split symbols on a fixed-payline grid, this title runs the Megaways engine, with the symbol count on each reel varying spin by spin to produce an all-ways payline structure. Volatility is rated at 4, a step above Cats' medium classification. The RTP of 96.5% is above Cats' figure.

For players who want the feline visual identity alongside a Megaways format and a slightly higher volatility, it is the natural bridge in this list.

5 Wild Buffalo by 4ThePlayer keeps the animal theme and five-reel fixed-payline structure that Cats players will recognise. The key departure is the bonus buy mechanic, which lets players purchase direct entry into the feature rather than spinning through the base game to reach it organically. That shifts the session dynamic away from Cats' base-game split-symbol rhythm, where the mechanic is always in play. The RTP of 96% sits clearly above Cats' 94.93%, and volatility is rated at 4, a step above the medium band.

For Cats players who want the fixed-reel animal format but prefer to skip the base-game grind and buy directly into the feature, this is the clearest option in the group.

Safari Gold Megaways from Blueprint Gaming uses an animal-safari setting that overlaps with Cats' visual world, running on six reels with an all-ways Megaways structure. The RTP of 95.5% is the closest to Cats' 94.93% among the Megaways entries on this page, so the return profile feels less unfamiliar than the higher-RTP options for players accustomed to Cats' maths. Volatility is rated at 4, slightly above Cats' medium classification.

The six-reel all-ways format is a structural departure from Cats' fixed grid, and the Megaways mechanic replaces the split-symbol system entirely, but the safari-animal setting and the near-matching return rate make it one of the softer transitions into the Megaways category from Cats.

Almighty Bear Megaways from Blueprint Gaming takes the animal-world theme into a six-reel all-ways Megaways structure, moving substantially away from the five-reel fixed-payline format of Cats. Volatility is rated at 5, a clear step above Cats' medium band, so the session rhythm will be less even and the dry stretches longer. The RTP of 95% is close to Cats' figure, making it one of the nearer return rates among the Megaways options on this page.

For Cats players drawn mainly by the animal setting who want to explore a higher-swing Megaways format while staying close to Cats' return profile, it is a reasonable step across the format divide.

Buffalo Rising All Action Megaways from Blueprint Gaming runs on five reels like Cats but operates on an all-ways Megaways payline structure rather than a fixed grid, and volatility rises to 5 from Cats' medium band. The buffalo-animal theme keeps it in the broader animal category, but the session feel is noticeably more swing-heavy than Cats' steady split-symbol rhythm. The RTP of 96.5% is above Cats' rate.

For Cats players who find the medium-volatility pace too measured and want to step up the variance while staying within the five-reel animal-slot family, this is the higher-swing option in the group that preserves the reel count.

Gorilla Gold Megaways by Blueprint Gaming posts the highest return percentage in this group at 97%, a notable step above Cats' 94.93%, and runs on six reels with an all-ways Megaways format. Both the reel count and the payline system differ from Cats, and volatility is rated at 5, well above Cats' medium band. The animal theme is the primary point of continuity for Cats players.

If the lower RTP of Cats has weighed on your sessions and you are open to a structurally different format, this is the option in the group that offers the most improved return rate. The trade-off is a higher-variance Megaways engine on six reels rather than the even, fixed-reel split-symbol experience Cats delivers.
