The theoretical return on this slot is fixed at 96.12%, the figure Real Time Gaming published for the title.
Base spins let you pick anywhere from 1 to 10 lines; bonus rounds automatically activate all 10.
Wagering range spans 100 credits to 200,000, adjusted to whichever currency your casino uses.
A single spin can deliver up to 250,000 times your wager — that's the hard cap on any outcome.
Bonus round mechanics, step by step
Most reviews skim this part. Here's exactly how it works, reel by reel.
Triggering the bonus
Land 3 boat scatters for 10 bonus spins, 4 boats for 15, or 5 boats for 20. The boats don't pay cash directly — they simply unlock the round.
The fisherman wild only shows up during bonus spins. He's nowhere to be seen in regular play, which makes the feature feel like stepping into a completely different game.
The fisherman's role
While the bonus spins are running, each fish symbol holds a cash value of 20, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 or 500. Should a fisherman land, he collects the value of every fish on screen for that spin and also stands in for line wins.
The fisherman pays on his own too: 2 in view awards 10, 3 awards 100, 4 awards 500, and 5 awards 5,000.
What won't occur
Bonus spins don't retrigger. If more boats land mid-round, they do nothing — you play out the original 10, 15 or 20 spins at the stake that launched the feature, with no further bet deducted.
Win calculation method
Winning combinations are read left to right over neighbouring reels, beginning with reel one. On each active line only the highest-paying outcome is paid, and every line win from that spin is then added together.
Symbol values, one by one
Five-match payouts for the main symbols. The fisherman wild stands in for all of these except the boat scatter.

How to interpret a payline
Order and requirement
Each active line reads left to right, examining consecutive reels from reel one. Matching symbols must appear in an unbroken sequence starting at the leftmost reel to qualify.
Best win only, per line
When one line produces multiple possible combinations, only the top-paying match on that line counts. Your final payout is the sum of every winning line for that spin.
