THE SYMBOLS
Low value symbols in the game come in the form of the high end of a deck of cards, with 10 through to A. These symbols can offer between x0.08 and x0.8 the player’s stake, depending on the amount of winning combinations that land on a single spin.
Next up, medium value symbols are represented by fishing rods, worms and boats. These symbols can offer between x0.2 and x2.4 the player’s stake.
The highest-paying symbol is depicted as a pelican. If the right amount of winning combinations land at once then these symbols can offer between x1 and x6 the player’s bet.
Fishing boat scatter symbols can land on reels three, four and five. Landing one on each reel, three in total, will activate the free spins bonus.
Wild fisherman symbols can also drop into play on reels one and two. If two wilds land on the same spin, this will trigger the wild fishin’ feature.
Finally, varying fish symbols can appear on reels three, four and five, showcasing cash prizes as a multiple of the player’s stake. These prizes can be won with the wild fishin’ game mode.
THE DETAILS
During the wild fishin’ feature, fish found on reel three can be caught by the wilds on reels one and two. If the third reel fish is caught then any fish on reel four can also be caught next. If this fourth reel fish is caught then any fish on the final fifth reel also becomes available to catch.
Fish on reels three have a value between x0.5 and x4 the player’s bet, while fish on reel four can be between x4 and x10 and fifth reel fish can be between x10 and x100.
Landing two wilds in the first two reels and a bonus scatter on the third reel will also trigger the free spins bonus game, which is then possible to activate during wild fishin’ rounds.
With the free spins mode, 10 spins are awarded to the player. If a player lands enough symbols to activate the wild fishin’ mode during the free spins, then an additional five spins will be awarded with the game completing the free turns before going to the other game mode.
When wild fishin’ is activated during the free spins, then reels three, four and five can expand up to 6 rows high.
