Free Spins – The signature feature of the franchise – the Free Spins! You can win either 10, 15, or 20 Free Spins, depending on how many scatters you land. We are also assisted with obtaining these Scatters as the game has a few ways of tipping the scale. Randomly, when 2 Scatters land, but not a third, 2 things can happen. If the 2 Scatters can move down a position each, a respin can be triggered to reveal a third, or, a hook can appear and pull a Scatter into the reels!
Before the round starts, you stand a chance to collect some great modifiers that will enhance the round. You can earn between 0 – 5 of the following:
- More fish
- More Fisherman
- More Hooks, Dynamite and Chainsaws
- More Free Spins
- Starting from level 2
As you spin, the Wild symbols catch the Money symbols, collecting all the cash values within. Sometimes, when the Wild Symbol hits, but no Money symbols are around to be collected, fate intervenes and exposes some juicy cash-filled fish for the fisherman to snatch up! This also works in reverse – when we have Money Symbols and no Fisherman, a hook can pull a Wild into Play. Lastly, on the extra random events – at the end of a spin that has a Wild, but no fish, the Fisherman will chainsaw up the grid, revealing fish to catch!
Every successful haul the fisherman gets, the special meter, fills up at the top of the reels. This special meter grants bonuses, each one better than the last as it progressively fills during the Free Spins round. As far as mechanics go, this means every 4th Wild collected adds 10 Free Spins and increases the multiplier applied to the Money symbols collection to 2x. Then 4 more will get you another 10 Free Spins and a 3x multiplier. The ultimate boost is another 10 Free Spins and a whopping 10x multiplier – imagine the payouts!
Buy Free Spins – Triggering the Free Spins can also happen with the Bonus Buy option, activating the bonus round for 100x total current bet.
