How the Payout Structure Plays Out
Book of Cats is built as a classic high-variance 'Book' slot: long stretches with little movement, then a single feature trigger or premium symbol hit accounts for most of the payout. This matches BGaming's own 'very high' volatility label and is echoed across independent reviews describing the game as swingy rather than steady.
The free spins round is where the payout structure concentrates. Expanding symbols drive the larger outcomes once the feature triggers, and one third-party database estimates the trigger frequency at roughly once per 140 spins — a figure not confirmed by BGaming directly, but consistent with the very-high volatility rating.
Most of the win potential sits with the top-paying themed symbols rather than the base-game line pays. Independent paytable coverage points to the premium cat/queen-style symbols as the main contributors toward the x8,202 ceiling, with lower-value royal symbols filling in smaller, more frequent hits.
At low stakes the session tends to feel slow: many spins pass without meaningful return until the bonus round lands. At higher stakes the same math produces sharper swings, since the €246,060 cap and x8,202 multiplier scale directly with the amount wagered per spin.
The RTP figure itself needs a note: BGaming's own site states 96.99%, while several third-party trackers list 94%. This split likely reflects different game configurations or outdated listings rather than an error on either side, and it is the only source discrepancy worth flagging on this page.

What Very High Volatility Means Here
Very high volatility means the bankroll experience is dominated by dry spells punctuated by occasional large hits, mostly during the free spins round. Sessions without the bonus feature tend to produce thin, inconsistent line pays, while a single feature trigger can carry most of the return for that session. Players should size bets with this swing pattern in mind rather than expecting a steady hit rate.

Official RTP Reading
96.99%
BGaming's own game page lists 96.99% as the RTP for Book of Cats. Some third-party trackers report 94% instead, which may point to a different configuration; the figure above reflects the studio's own published value.
Bet Range and Availability Notes
Minimum and maximum bet figures are not published by BGaming or confirmed elsewhere, so exact stake limits should be checked directly at the casino before play. The studio's own listing also notes that Book of Cats is distributed on limited servers, meaning availability can vary by brand and region; Canadian players should confirm the title is live at their chosen operator rather than assuming universal access.
Payout Questions
Why do some sites list Book of Cats at 94% RTP instead of 96.99%?
The 96.99% figure comes from BGaming's own game page, while several independent trackers cite 94%. This likely reflects a different game build or outdated data rather than a single confirmed rate across all versions.
How is the x8,202 max win actually reached?
The multiplier applies to the stake wagered per spin, with a hard cap of €246,060 regardless of bet size. Reaching it typically requires the free spins feature combined with premium symbol hits.
Does the very high volatility rating match how the free spins round behaves?
Yes — third-party sources describe the bonus round as infrequent but capable of large payouts once triggered, which lines up with BGaming's own very-high volatility label.
Is the hit frequency for the bonus round confirmed by BGaming?
No. One third-party database estimates roughly one trigger per 140 spins, but this figure is not published or confirmed by the studio itself.
Can Canadian players check the exact bet limits before playing?
Minimum and maximum bets aren't published in BGaming's official materials, so it's worth checking the in-game paytable at your chosen operator before wagering.
