There must surely be some tasty cheese involved in any slot game called Chase the Cheese. But do you need to chase it around the reels or is that the job of a mouse? You’re going to find out as you play this slot game, but don’t attempt to do that until you’ve explored the various elements in our game review here today.
Who came up with this tasty idea?
Once you see what the game looks like, you might think of any developer other than Betsoft. Yet this is an earlier effort from them, and it still has plenty of amusing and entertaining touches to it.
They still give us access to a demo version
They do, and as this has some tweaks from the usual type of slot you might play, we recommend this is the ideal place to begin.
Is the theme really based on cheese?
It is! You will see a mouse there too though, so we have the perfect combination for this slot game.
A more straightforward design for Chase the Cheese
Don’t expect lots of details or 3D imagery here – but do expect an entertaining cartoon appearance for the mouse and its surroundings. It’s an older game, yet we think it still looks delightful.
Let’s play Chase the Cheese
Would you be surprised if we told you that it had four reels? It does, and each one offers four symbols, so we have a square 4 x 4 appearance here. You even get the chance to play for a progressive jackpot.
The wild symbol says WILD and can replace all the other game symbols. You might also see the Chase the Cheese logo in action, and we’ll tell you more about that in a bit.
To snag that jackpot, you need to find a bowl filled to the brim with gold coins. Moreover, you need four on the reels and you must have wagered the maximum b
et amount on the same spin to qualify for the progressive jackpot.
How many lines does the 4 x 4 grid have?
It’s not obvious, is it, but the game does offer nine lines.
How many coins can you choose from?
There are plenty to look through, with one cent being the smallest and a dollar being the biggest. You can also choose to wager up to five coins on each of the paylines.
The game also has a paytable, of course
Look for the message that says, ‘view payout’ and select it to see more. If you look for the mouse hole, you’ll find it there.
Does the game include a bonus feature?
It does, and four of the game logos will take you there. However, our efforts didn’t manage to unlock it, so you’ll need to see if you can do better. It does mean we cannot reveal what happens once you reach that round.
Free spins don’t feature in Chase the Cheese slots
We’d love to say they do, but unfortunately no.
RTP facts
The game looks to be around 94% on the return to player front, so it doesn’t hit the heights a few other games have from inside the Betsoft range.
Our rating: Is it a high one?
We can give the game seven points out of 10, and it does stand out as an unusual entry in the Betsoft collection. That’s no bad thing either.
How many players might stand a chance of finding their way to the progressive jackpot?
Very few, we suspect, because the maximum bet is $50. We wouldn’t play that much per spin, and the odds of scooping the jackpot are still long anyway, even if you did go for that amount. It’s best to forget about that aspect and choose a smaller bet to play with.
Demo action gets things underway
Meet the mouse, chase the cheese, find the wilds, and see what else happens when you play the practice game.
Check out the real version but choose your bets wisely
If you do decide to play this Betsoft slot at casinos offering it, make sure you understand what you’re betting on each spin. We’d forget about the progressive prize and play far more affordable wagers.
Mobile action in Chase the Cheese
Look for the game in mobile casinos, where you should be able to see it on your mobile browser for Android or iOS, as relevant.
