This Classic 243 slot pretty much says it all in it’s title: it’s a classic 243 ways to win video slot.
The theme, we have to say, is very cool. A mix between classic symbols like 7s, stars, and high card symbols, with a space new-age vibe that makes it stand out.
The sounds are particularly interesting and really brings this Classic 243 slot into the modern age; if you can’t play with the sounds we’d almost say it’s not worth spinning.
And there’s nothing wrong with familiar. There’s a reason people have been playing games like Thunderstruck slot or IGT’s Pixies of the Forest for years.
You don’t have to be revolutionary to be good.
What you do have to bring is excitement; and there’s not a huge amount to be found here.
Because there’s so many symbols on screen, getting a 5 of a kind win on the first four symbols gets you less or your bet back.
Even the top win with the highest paying symbol only gives you 50x your bet.
We get more playing on any of the bonus features in middle of the range slots like EmotiCoins by Microgaming.
And who doesn’t love a good free spin bonus round, especially when they promise a whole host of stacked wild symbols.
Promise, but rarely deliver. At best you get one stack of wilds a spin, sometimes not even that.
The Stage 888 slot by Red Tiger Gaming gives you four stack symbols as standard in the base game.
Basically, it’s not that this Classic 243 video slot is bad, is just that you rarely get those edge of your seat moments that make spinning worthwhile.
It does keep your wallet fairly steady, so you can gamble a while. But with little hope of it actually filling your wallet, this Rabcat casino game mostly falls flat.

Wild: The neon sign with 'wild' on it is wild, and replaces all other symbols on screen, except the free spin scatter.
Scatter and Free Spins: The neon sign with 'free spins' on it (are you sensing a pattern yet?) trigger 10 free spins when you find 3 or more on screen.
During the 10 free spins you get stacked wild that are 2 to 3 symbol high and generally show up on most spins.
You can re-trigger the feature, which might get you bigger wins, because the most we could get out of it is about 20x your bet, as with no multipliers, the wins are still pretty small.
Gamble Feature: After any win, you can 'gamble' that win in a simple 50/50 game.
You basically have to choose between two glowing squares; one is green, the other purple.
If you choose the right colour you double your win, if you don't, you lose you win.
Rabcat Gaming need to look to the future and not the past when creating their games; after all their revolutionary Castle Builder II slot has got to be one of the best releases of 2017.
The same can't be said of this Classic 243 slot on mobile, which doesn't do anything wrong (per say) but doesn't exactly bring you tears of excitement.
The sounds are good, the graphics are sharp, and the free spins are decent, but the gameplay needs jazzing up and compared to other slots for tablet and phones, it just doesn't quite match up.
