To win big in the Fishin’ Reels slot, you can jump in a boat with the Fisherman and start fishing up multipliers and extra free games, or you can patiently wait for three symbols with the Big Catch layer to land in the Big Catch round. Regardless of what Free Spins option you pick, remember that fishing is the art of patience and timing.
The Free Spins Feature
Trigger this round with at least three Bonus symbols on the grid. Depending on the number of Bonus symbols that activated the feature, the game can award up to 15 Free Games:
- Activate the bonus round with 3 Bonus symbols, and play 10 Free Spins;
- Activate the bonus round with 4 Bonus symbols, and play 12 Free Spins;
- Activate the bonus round with 5 Bonus symbols, and play 15 Free Spins.
Before the feature starts, the game gives you two Free Spins options to choose from:
The Reel It In Round
This option takes you on the surface of the ocean, in the fishing boat of a skilled Fisherman. During this round, you will see the standard symbols from the base game along with the Money and the Fisherman ones. The Money symbols hit with a multiplier of up to 250x or with an extra Free Spins label. However, to get your hands on these wins, you will need the Fisherman symbol on reel 5. He will fish up and collect all winnings present on the screen, awarding you the total amount. If the Fisherman catches a Money symbol with the Extra Free Spins tag, the game offers two additional Free Games.
The Big Catch Round
During this bonus game, the gilded swordfish acts as an overlay on top of any of the standard symbols. When three or more symbols with the swordfish icon land on the reels, the game triggers the fishing mini bonus game, awarding two brand-new Free Spins.
The game takes us up again to find our Fisherman ready to fish a money prize out of 8 available. When you fish up a juicy bonus, the corresponding fish is collected in a special section on the right side of the screen. If you catch all eight fish in the same bonus game, the gilded swordfish overlay will not appear on top of the other symbols anymore during the round.
