Top Cat slot: Blueprint's Jackpot King game, its bonuses and 92.48% RTP
Blueprint's 2016 cartoon-licensed slot on 20 lines, linked to the Jackpot King progressive and packed with five separate bonus features.
The first number worth knowing about the Top Cat slot is its listed RTP of 92.48%, which is lower than most games on this site. Part of the reason is that Top Cat is a Jackpot King game: Blueprint Gaming links it to a shared progressive jackpot, and the quoted return may not include what is paid into that pot. Released in 2016, the original game runs on five reels, three rows and 20 lines, with five bonus features alongside the jackpot link.

What the 92.48% figure means
RTP is a long-run average. Compared with a game at 96%, a 92.48% return keeps roughly three and a half pence more of every £1 staked over a very large number of spins. The note on the spec card matters here: for Jackpot King titles, the published figure may leave out the jackpot contribution, so the total return including jackpots could be higher. The in-game help states the figure for the version a casino runs, and that is the number to rely on. The RTP explained guide covers the difference between base RTP and jackpot contributions.
The hot dog wild and the bonus line-up
A hot dog wild on reel 5 triggers a respin bonus in the base game. Beyond that, the game lists five bonus features:
- Cash Picker Bonus
- Maharajah Heist
- Diner Free Spins
- Dibble's Free Spins
- Construction Site Wilds
The paytable explains how each one is reached and what it pays. Having several features rather than one tends to spread results across more events, but none of them changes the long-run return.
Jackpot King on top of the game
Jackpot King is Blueprint's network progressive. It sits on top of Top Cat's own features rather than replacing them, and the pot is shared with other Jackpot King titles. How the jackpot round is triggered and what it pays are set out in the game's help pages. Other progressive games are collected on the jackpot slots page.
Top Cat stakes in Great Britain
The card lists a stake range of £0.20 to £500 per spin. In Great Britain that top end is not available: licensed casinos cap online slot stakes at £5 per spin, and at £2 for customers aged 18 to 24. The £5 and £2 limits guide explains how they apply.
Which Top Cat, and where to see a demo
Blueprint's website shows the game, but no playable Top Cat demo appears here, and a licensed casino's demo mode is open only to verified adult accounts. This page covers the original 2016 game with 20 lines. Top Cat Most Wanted and Top Cat Dining for Dollars are later games with 10 lines and their own maths, so check the full title in the lobby. Sources disagree on the top win, so the card does not give one.
18+ only. A cartoon licence does not make the game any less risky; the responsible gambling page lists limits and free support.
