DJ Neko Demo (Pragmatic Play) Slot Demo & Review

Game Overview

Fat Panda has teamed up with Pragmatic Play to turn up the volume in DJ Neko, a neon-lit 3-reel slot featuring a cat DJ, pulsing beats, and big-money symbols that can be worth up to 5,000x your bet! It’s primarily a mobile-first game, but is it worth your time? Let’s find out in this detailed review.

Theme & Design

We have a soft spot for music-themed slots, and for us, there’s something quite appealing about those flashing lights and synth-heavy soundtracks. DJ Neko instantly gave us that same rush we got from titles like Club Tropicana Happy Hour and The Rave, but the unique Japanese twist makes things even more interesting, in our opinion.

Now, if you’re not aware, “Neko” means “cat” in Japanese, and Fat Panda (in conjunction with Pragmatic Play, who the game is powered by) has done a pretty good job of tying the theme together to the club/rave vibe. The slot is set inside a Tokyo-style nightclub, and you’ll see pink and purple strobe lights with a pretty funky-looking cat DJ bobbing its head above the reels.

DJ Neko Gameplay & Bonus Features

DJ Neko is designed around a pretty unique 3-4-3 reel setup. There are ten fixed paylines in play at all times. You can bet between €0.10 and €240 per spin. The game offers a slightly above-average RTP of 96.5%. Just be aware that Fat Panda, like Pragmatic Play, offers its titles in multiple RTP settings.

The heart of the gameplay revolves around Money Symbols. They appear on all reels and carry random cash values from 0.5x to 5,000x your stake. However, to get any of them to award a payout, you need to land at least five of them on the reels at once.

Now, any time you land a Money Symbol, there’s also a chance that the free spins bonus round can trigger randomly. When it does, you receive 8 free spins. During these spins only blank spaces and Money Symbols can land on the reels. That’s just about all there is to it, and it’s impossible to re-trigger the free spins feature, too, if you were wondering.
