What actually happens in free games
The mechanic worth understanding before you play the demo.
Trigger
3, 4 or 5 boat scatters anywhere on the grid award 10, 15 or 20 free games. There's no separate scatter payout beyond the games themselves.
The catch mechanic
Once free games begin, fish carrying cash values of 20 to 500 sit on the reels. Whenever a fisherman lands in view, he collects the value of every tagged fish showing at that moment, in addition to any line wins he completes as a wild.
Fisherman payouts
He also pays for himself: 2 fishermen on screen award 10, 3 award 100, 4 award 500, and 5 award 5,000.
No retrigger, no extra stake
Free games cannot be retriggered, and your stake isn't deducted again during them – they play at the bet that won them, on all 10 lines, until the count runs out.
How lines and wins are calculated
Left to right, consecutive reels
Winning combinations are read left to right, starting from the far-left reel, across reels that sit next to each other.
Highest win per line, then added together
Each line pays only its single highest-value combination. The amounts from every winning line are then added together for the round's total win.
