Slot machine provider Playson appeared in online casinos in mid-February 2023. The release immediately attracted the attention of hunters for large payouts: the maximum winnings are equal to 10,000 bets. Most sources on the Internet write about the high volatility of the slot. However, this is not entirely true. Payouts in the main game occur with a probability of 25%. And at least 1/3 of them – with a multiplier of x5 and higher. For this reason, the build-up of losses in Bozo Cats is not deep.

The main game
First impression: the slot “gives”. The minimum payout is 0.1 bet, but such occur rarely. Combinations happened almost every 3rd spin. It is in this slot is important average winnings from 3 to 8 bets. If they fall out often, it is possible to stay on the plus side without launching freespins. Such acceptable payouts are possible due to the replacement symbols (Wild) with multipliers x2 and x3.
Freespins
Free spins are activated traditionally – three scatter symbols (Scatter). The number of freespins: 9, 12 or 15. It depends on whether the usual scatter or “golden”. In the process of free spins, the wilds-multipliers become “sticky” – remain in their place until the end.
A win of 320 bets was obtained when the maximum number of freespins was activated – 15. At the same time in the first spins on the field were 5 wilds with a multiplier of x3.

An important feature is the risk game before entering the free spins. There are 5 stages in it. In each there is a choice of three items. One of them is empty. When hitting it, the freespins are canceled. In the risk rounds, the prizes are as follows:
- In the 1st, 3rd and 5th – adding 3 freespins each. The maximum you can get is 24 spins.
- The 2nd risk round wins 2 multiplier wilds (x2 or x3) appearing on the field at once.
- the 4th gives an increase in the multipliers of substitution symbols to x4 and x6.
According to the expert who conducted the test, the risk game is a profitable feature. Probably, you should try to play in the 1st round to get 3 freespins, and possibly in the 2nd round.
