About the Game

Welcome to the Big Game Fishing Rapid Riches video slot from Reflex Gaming, featuring progressive quick respins and free spins with sliding fees!

Big Game Fishing Rapid Riches is a video slot with variable reel heights, ranging from 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 to 3 x 7 x 7 x 7 x 3. This game uses paylines, up to a maximum of 3,087. The game features 5 low-paying symbols, represented by card values, and 6 high-paying symbols.

Additional symbols include the Rapid Respin symbols (which add to the progressive respin counter), the Fisherman, which appears only on reels 1 and 5, and the Money Fish, Bonus, and Bank symbols, which appear only on reels 2, 3, and 4.

There is a Wild symbol that substitutes for all symbols except the Fisherman, Money Fish, and Rapid Respin symbols. Wild symbols only pay out for combinations of 5 identical Wild symbols; combinations of 3 or 4 Wild symbols do not pay out as independent wins and only substitute for other symbols, as described above.

Game Rules

Collecting the Money Fish

Locating the Fisherman symbol on reels 1 or 5, along with any Money Fish symbols in visible positions on reels 2, 3, or 4, collects those Money Fish.

The Money Fish pays the value shown on the Money Fish symbol. In the base game, the Money Fish can be 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, or 15x. In free spins, additional payouts are possible: 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x, or 500x.

The Money Fish can be won twice if two Fisherman symbols appear. Bank symbols award a spin of the bank reels, which will award one of the bank prizes. There are four prize pots to win: MONSTER, WHOPPER, LUNKER, and TIDDLER.

• The MONSTER prize is equal to 500x the base bet
• The WHOPPER prize is equal to 200x the base bet
• The LUNKER prize is equal to 50x the base bet
• The TIDDLER prize is equal to 10x the base bet

Bank prizes can be won twice if two Fisherman symbols appear. Multiple Jackpot symbols can appear in a single spin. Bonus symbols award 7 free spins for each bonus symbol collected. The bonus symbol can be won twice if two Fisherman symbols appear.

Multiple bonus symbols can appear in a single spin. If the Collect symbol, Cash coin, Bank coin, and Clover symbol appear simultaneously in a single spin, they are awarded in the following order: the Clover symbol adds to the respin counter, then a Bank reel spin is awarded, then Cash coins and the corresponding Bank prize are collected, and then free spins are awarded.

Quick Respins

The base game features a progressive Money Fish meter and a progressive Respins meter. To attract new players, the Money Fish meter is set to 5, and the Respins meter is set to 3 for each bet and game mode.

Each collected Money Fish is added to the Money Fish meter, and when 50 Money Fish are reached (or 25 if the Gold bet is active), Quick Respins are triggered. After the maximum number of Money Fish required to trigger Quick Respins is reached, any excess is not counted.

Quick Respin symbols (landing only on reel 5) add 1, 2, or 3 to the Respins meter. There is no limit to how many Respins can accumulate in this meter.

When Quick Respins are triggered, any visible Money Fish symbols are frozen, and the remaining positions on reels 2, 3, and 4 are spun for the cost of 1 respin. During respins, Money Fish, Bonus symbols, Bank symbols, or empty symbols (represented by Royal symbols) may appear. Any subsequent Money Fish, Bonus symbols, or Bank symbols are frozen in place.

When all positions are filled with Money Fish, Bonus symbols, or Bank symbols, or when the respin counter reaches 0, the feature ends and the final Money Fish, Bonus symbols, or Bank symbols are collected.

The Bank reels and free spins can be retriggered from Quick Respins. If more than 3 respins remain at the end of the feature, the respin counter retains this value; otherwise, it resets to 3 respins.

The Money Fish counter resets to 5 after the feature. The Quick Respins and Money Fish counters are only active during regular base game spins (excluding Quick Respins) and are not active during free spins.

Free Spins

Up to 42 free spins can be triggered. During free spins, any fisherman symbols that appear are sliding collections. They act like regular fisherman symbols, but move down one position on the next free spin.

Golden Spins are awarded after each Money Fish collected (the number of spins is shown on the Golden Spins counter).

Each Golden Spin awards a respin for each collected Money Fish. Possible results for the Money Fish are: X0.5, X1, X2, X3, X4, X5, X15, X20, X25, X50, X100, X500.

After each set of Golden Spins is completed, the counter resets to a new value (one more than the previous one). Each collected bonus symbol during free spins adds 3 more free spins. Free spins are played with the same paylines and bet as the triggering spin.
