THE SYMBOLS
Low value symbols come in the form of the high end of a deck of cards, from 10 through to Ace. These symbols can offer between x0.2 and x10 the player’s bet.
Moving up the paytable, horses, binoculars, beers, fishing tool boxes and champagne buckets depict the high value symbols, offering between x1 and x200 the player’s wager.
While the horse symbols can contribute to payline wins, they will also showcase monetary prizes, which can only be won in one of the free spins game modes. These prizes range from x2 and x5,000 the chosen stake.
Horseracing scatters are also available, triggering 10, 15 or 20 free spins or access to the golden cup game mode when three, four or five scatters land on the same spin, respectively.
Finally, wild spectators can appear, substituting for all symbols other than scatters while collecting the monetary values of all fish symbols that appear on the same spin in the bonus game modes.
THE DETAILS
Throughout the base game, landing two scatters on either the top or middle row without a third appearing to activate the free spins will cause a nudge and respin feature to occur.
This causes the scatters to nudge down one row as the rest of the reels respin, giving the player an increased chance of triggering one of the free spins game modes.
When three or more scatters land on the same spin, players are taken to one of two bonus game modes. The game mode that is chosen is decided as the player selects one of 12 cards on the screen, either revealing a ‘bonus’ card for the free spins or a ‘golden cup’ card for the golden cup game mode.
For the golden cup game mode, only money symbols, wilds and blanks can appear on the reels as players are given 10 spins. Payline wins can be formed by the horse symbols in this game mode and wilds can appear to collect their values.
In either of the free spins features, collecting wild spectators will enhance the feature. Not only will they collect all fish symbols that appear on the reels on the same spin, but they will be attributed to a meter above the reel set.
Once four spectators have been collected in the meter, the feature will upgrade to the next level, awarding a x2 multiplier for all fish collections and 10 extra spins.
This can be repeated with four more spectators offering a x3 multiplier with 10 extra spins, and another four after that awarding a x10 multiplier with a final 10 spins.
Furthermore, players can activate an ante bet feature, increasing their stake by 50% in order to gain a higher chance of landing scatter symbols.
Players can also buy access to the free spins feature for the price of x100 their bet.
