Funny and lighthearted game with less standard 5×4 playing field, unusual bonus feature, Medium Volatility and sufficient return (RTP) of 96.14% would be delighting everybody who launch the concert with Rat – Sinatra impersonators for the maximum ticket of 30 000 coins (translated as 400x the total bet via max stake). The characters in the game also have charisma and talent; only they are from the Rodent VIP family.
Don’t be fooled by their appearance; their style is smooth, polished and swingy, as much as the Crooner Sinatra performing style. Be sure to test The Rat Pack slot machine for free in the DEMO mode right here on our site, where the little performers are waiting deservingly for your applause.
Personal testers’ opinion about The Rat Pack slot
- The Rat Pack slot machine is not a revolutionary game, but we believe it doesn’t wish to contend for such a title. It withstood the test of time for over a decade, so it must be interesting enough to compete for its place in the global slot rank for so long. During our tests, we loved the soundscape, and despite the dated look, we admit there is a charm in this rat show. OK, this would not be our everyday pastime (to return to very often), but it is a decent machine with proper payouts.
- So, despite the basic graphics and the lack of WOW factor, the game is entertaining enough. Paytable-wise, need to mention: the Scatters pay the standard 100x the total bet for 5OAK; there are 2 types of Wilds: 1 brings 170x the total bet for 5OAK, and the other doesn’t pay only doubles the winnings. The rest of the symbols deliver amounts of 33.3x (for each of the Rats: 1, 2, and 3) to 1.6x the total bet (for the lowest card), all for 5OAK.
- It is one moderate (slightly inclining toward poor) provision, so the only way to increase your balance in the main game is via the 2 sorts of Wilds. When they create combos with high-value symbols and Multiplier, they will deliver decent wins (in the category of 30x to 80x the total bet).
- We managed to book a maximum of 138x the total bet in the Free Spins, but that was after a very long wait for triggering them. Now, this is an unusual type of bonus play we must grant to The Rat Pack. It might be a novelty (for a game released in 2009), but it doesn’t always deliver the anticipating outcome. Moreover, not knowing how many spins will be played is rather annoying (it could be 3 or 33 spins – you never know).
All things considered, The Rat Pack slot machine deserves neutral recommendations regarding the bonus money wagering, as it usually cannot sustain the balance for long sessions. Because the paytable is not great, the winning combinations are predestined to be of a small amount – insufficient for a large balance increase, i.e. neutral advice for playing with real money as well. The slot could only be a good option for players checking their luck in a short session and accidentally triggering the bonus round initially. Then ‘Hit and Run’ strategy is applicable after the Free Spins finish.
Bonus Features
- Wild 1 – the game logo – the paid Wild symbol (170x the total bet for 5OAK) drops only in the base game and substitutes for all but Wild 2 and Scatter.
- Wild 2 – the 2x symbol – it is not paid but obviously brings Multiplier 2x to the combination on the pay line, where it substitutes. It also drops only in the base game and cannot replace the Scatter.
- Scatter – the Golden Disk symbol, which pays from 2x the total bet for 2OAK to 100x the total bet for 5OAK.
- Free spins – 3+ Scatters will activate the bonus round, transitioning to a monochrome look. You don’t start with an initial number of Free Spins. You begin just with 1 Free Spin and can go on for an unlimited number of spins. In the bonus, only Scatter symbols matter. Once dropped, they will remain on their reels, just nudging down. The reels without Scatters will spin again. The round ends when no new Scatters are dropped.
