Special Features and Up to 5,000x in Max Wins
Played over a 5×3 matrix which features the main set of reels plus a five-position TopHit row above it, the game creates 20 potential winlines from left to right.
Players enjoy numerous ways to score wins. Landing five matching royal symbols (10 to A) triggers rewards ranging from 1x to 1.2x the bet. Higher-value symbols including Cash Fish, floats, reels, tackle boxes, and boats pay 1.6x to 5x the bet.
Wilds can appear on all reels, substituting for regular symbols and offering the same payout as the boat symbol when completing wins.
When collected on the TopHit reels, the wilds build Wild Multipliers for expanded gameplay and higher win potential.
Players who land the Fisherman symbol fully on the TopHit reels will see it collect all the cash prizes from the main reels’ fish symbols. The cash prizes are added together to form a bigger win.
Cash Fish symbols carry values ranging from 0.5x to 200x the bet.
Nudge symbols, that can appear on the rightmost reel, activate a feature that pushes all partially visible symbols on the special reels into full view.
Free Spins, Free Spins Gamble, and Golden Bet Features
Landing at least three scatters in the base game, including on the TopHit reel, triggers at least eight free spins.
All TopHit features remain active during free spins. Each scatter symbol adds +1 free spin, and landing a minimum of six high-paying symbols on the TopHit also grants +1 free spin.
A Fisherman symbol in this round catches visible Cash Fish, increasing the Cash Fish Multiplier by +1 with each landing. The values of caught Fish are multiplied, and the multiplier carries over to the next spin, with the highest recorded multiplier at x22.
Before free spins start, players can gamble for additional spins on a gamble wheel.
For 70x the bet, players can purchase eight or more random free spins.
Yggdrasil’s head of Masters, Zoe Bird, described the new slot as “another excellent Reflex title that blends exciting mechanics and features made popular in the land-based space with a red-hot theme” while also praising the “toe-tapping soundtrack and bright visuals.”
Reflex Gaming’s chief product officer, Mat Ingram, explained that the land-based game variant “has outperformed” the game that was their “previous top title for decades, setting a new benchmark for success.”
Ingram took the opportunity to express their thrill for being able to bring the experience online, calling it a “testament” to their ability to “strike the perfect balance of playability and volatility” that meet the expectations of players.
In December 2022, Reflex Gaming and Yggdrasil formed a partnership aimed at introducing innovative mechanics to the land-based gaming sector in the United Kingdom.
