Watch the corner of the screen, not just the reels. That small live-updating bingo card is the tell that this is Class II, and the progressive won't pay unless you bet max.

Known quirks
Cool Catz is a real, currently-tracked casino-floor machine: URComped's slot-machine locator database shows the cabinet has been tagged by members, most recently at River Spirit Casino (Tulsa/Bixby, OK).
On the newer 'Melodie & the Cool Catz' version, a player's firsthand description confirms the small bingo card that determines outcomes is displayed 'clearly in the left corner of the video screen,' and that players can bet any amount to trigger bonuses but must bet max to be eligible for the progressive jackpot.
AGS's own SEC registration filing (AP Gaming Holdco, Inc. Form 10, filed Dec 19, 2013) states: 'We partnered with Bluberi beginning in 2002... This collaboration resulted in the development of successful core titles, such as Royal Reels, Cool Catz and Liberty 7's, which are among the top ten Class II games in the market today... as of September 30, 2013, represented 52% of our installed base and 61% of our total revenue. In May 2012, we negotiated a purchase agreement with Bluberi for the licensing and royalty rights to Royal Reels, Cool Catz and Liberty 7's.'
One player's dated firsthand account (posted March 2012, framed as a single session, not a documented rule): while playing max bet on Cool Catz's 10-cent 20-line progressive game at Grand Lake Casino, the author describes hitting 'five white cats' for the first time, naming 'white cats' as an actual winning symbol combination on the reels.
Global Gaming Business (GGB) trade-press magazine confirms AGS's institutional relationship with Bluberi and Cool Catz's industry standing: AGS 'had been the exclusive distributor in North America for the Canadian company [Bluberi],' which 'created some of the most iconic and enduring Class II games in the industry -- Royal Reels, Cool Catz, Liberty 7's, Diamond Lotto.'
