About Rat King
Released July 14, 2023, Rat King is a Push Gaming Pay Anywhere slot with a distinctive 8-bit retro sweets-factory look, setting it apart from the usual Sweet Bonanza-style competitors. Format 6x6 / Pay Anywhere (scatter pays), RTP 96.3% top tier (degraded versions down to 88.19%), high volatility, max 10,000x. The math model rewards sessions where escalating multiplier symbols and the continuous-build free spins open the door to the maximum win.
The visual world is a retro 8-bit pixel-art candy factory featuring a rat king in royal costume, giant donuts, giant lollipops and a candy pink-purple, neon pixel-cyan, banana-yellow 8-bit palette. Cinematic pixel-art animations show the rat king cackling, multipliers descending toward the collection boxes, and sweets exploding into pixels on wins. Sound design features 8-bit chiptune music, rat squeaks and Push Gaming's signature arcade jingles.
The signature mechanic is a cascading wins system where winning symbols are removed and fresh symbols drop in from the top. Multiplier symbols appear randomly on the grid with values up to x500. The unique twist: multipliers must reach the collection boxes at the bottom of the grid to activate. If a multiplier is removed in a cascade before reaching the bottom, it is lost.
Standout feature: during Free Spins, the multiplier builds continuously without resetting between spins (unlike most classic slots). Every new multiplier symbol that reaches the bottom adds to the persistent global multiplier — theoretically unlimited escalation. Free Spins run for up to 20 spins. Rat king symbols landing during the bonus award additional spins.
Bonus Buy is available at 100x-500x the stake depending on the target level. Compare it with Goat Getter (Push 5x6 Pay Anywhere 2023), Big Bite (Push 5x3 collector 2024), Fire Hopper (Push 7x7 cluster) and Jammin' Jars (Push cluster Pay Anywhere 2018).
