the greatest catch slot theme, stakes, pays & symbols

Ever since the creation of Big Bass Bonanza by Pragmatic Play, we have seen a number of these styles of fishing games released by multiple providers within the iGaming industry. Some of these have been quite good, and others have been nothing short of rubbish. So how does The Greatest Catch from Evoplay shape up in the grand scheme of things? I have to say I was pleasantly surprised when the game opened up, with the sharp and crisp graphics immediately grabbing my attention. The soundtrack is also enjoyable, although it makes me think I'm sitting outside a cafe in Paris about to tuck into a task croissant and enjoy a coffee. All in all, it's a pretty good start to the game.  

As always, our next port of call is the paytable. Evoplay has opted for the industry standard royal symbols 10, J, Q, K, and Ace to represent the lower pays, with these all paying a very respectable 10x bet if you hit a 5-of-a-kind win. On to the premium value symbols, where we have the fish, daypack, frog, hat, and finally the boot, the highest paying symbol at 200x if 5 land on a winning payline. The Greatest Catch comes fully equipped with a wild symbol too, which arrives in the form of the fisherman. Not only will he substitute for all other regular symbols, but he will also reward you with 200x your bet if 5 of him appear on a win line.

Sailing out onto the lake in your rowing boat for some real money play is going to cost you a minimum of €0.10 a spin. There's then a decent spread of bet sizes for you to choose from before the game maxes out at €100, so regardless of your bankroll, you'll be able to find something suitable to play at. The game may be classed as high variance, but on paper, you'll receive decent value for your money with the slot offering a fixed RTP rate of 95.98%.

base game & MODIFIERS

Dropping your float into the water on The Greatest Catch video slot will give you access to the slots reel format of 5x3 and 10 fixed paylines. There are no additional modifiers or features in the base game, so for any winnings to be credited to your account, you must land 3 matching symbols on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel first.

The main hook ( excuse the pun ) on The Greatest Catch online slot is the bonus feature, with 10, 15, or 20 free spins awarded when 3, 4 or 5 scatter symbols land in view. Upon activating the bonus, you are hoping to see the fisherman land in sight at the same time as any of the cash-bearing fish symbols. If this occurrence takes place, then the fisherman will reel in the cash wins and add them to your balance.

In addition to the fisherman reeling in the wins, each instance of him that lands will move you 1 position along the progressive meter at the top of the reels. For every 4th fisherman that lands, 10 extra spins will be awarded, and your win multiplier will increase in value. Reach the end of the trail, and you'll be playing with with a win multiplier of x10.
