Slot Summary

An expanding Wild that turns a cat catching a mouse into a multiplied reel result gives Peek & Pounce its central idea. NowNow Gaming carries that chase from ordinary spins into Free Spins, where awarded multipliers accumulate in a meter. Medium volatility sits beside a 10,000x ceiling, creating a wide gap between the approachable Animals story and the game's upper payout potential.

How It Plays

The base game uses five reels and 20 paylines. Mice appear above the grid, creating possible targets for the cat represented by the Wild Symbol.

When that Wild lands below a mouse, it expands up the reel and applies a Random multiplier. Several successful catches on one spin combine their values.

Theme & Atmosphere

Animals provide the cast, with a house cat pursuing mice through a light hide-and-seek setup. The chase makes each expanding result part of the story.

Wild West influence appears through the cat's costumed character rather than a frontier landscape. The presentation stays focused on the rivalry above the reels.

Wild West Animals

Features & Win Potential

Between two and five mice can appear above the reels. A matching Wild catch creates an Expanding Symbol and awards a multiplier from 2x through 500x.

During Free Spins, Wild Multipliers are added to a persistent meter. The accumulated value applies throughout the remaining round rather than resetting after each catch.

Free Spins Scatter Symbol Wild Symbol Wild Multipliers Expanding Symbols Free Spins Multiplier Random multiplier Stack

Bonus & Free Spins

Three, four, or five Scatter Symbols award 10, 15, or 20 Free Spins. The possible starting length therefore depends directly on the triggering combination.

The Free Spins Multiplier increases whenever another Wild Multiplier is awarded. Expanded Wild results can occur without an existing line win during this round.

How this works

Each simulated spin either misses or returns a win drawn from a log-normal distribution, with the hit rate and spread set by the slot's volatility tier (Medium). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (96.32%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (10,000×).

This is a simplified, parametric model of the game's math — not its real paytable. It exists to make the house edge visible over many sessions, so the numbers above are averages across thousands of runs, never a forecast of one.

This is math, not a prediction. Real sessions vary wildly, and no strategy changes a game's built-in house edge. Play for fun, set limits, and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
