Symbols

Bonus Symbol

The bonus symbol is a scatter symbol. In the main game, three or more bonus symbols will activate the free spins feature.

Net Symbol

The Grid symbols represent an overlay. They appear on the reels in stacks of 4 symbols and can appear anywhere in both the main game and the bonus game with free spins. During the bonus game, after all wins have been counted and the spin button is pressed again, the Grid symbols are shifted down one position while all reels are spinning. This process is repeated until there are no “Grid” symbols left on the reels.

Fisherman Symbol

The Fisherman symbol is available in the main game and in the free spins mode. In the main game, the Fisherman symbol is a wild symbol that substitutes for all paying symbols except the Bonus symbol and the Grid symbol. When the Fisherman symbol falls in the Grid symbol in the main game and Free Spins mode, it collects all instant prizes landed on the reels, whether they fall in the Grid symbol or not.

Fish Symbol

Fish symbols are paying symbols with instant prizes. The fish symbol is available in the main game and free spins mode. In the main game, matching at least three of the same symbol in a row from the leftmost reel will bring line wins. An instant prize tied to the fish symbol is awarded when the fish symbol falls on the net symbol. The instant prize for the fish symbol is awarded when the fish symbol falls on the net symbol, regardless of whether the fish symbol falls on the net symbol or not. If both the fish symbol and the fisherman symbol fall on the net symbol, the instant prize for the fish symbol is awarded even after the fisherman symbol is captured. Available values for fish symbols are x0.5, x0.8, xl, xl.2, x1.5, x1.8, x2, x2.2, x2.5, x3, x5, x6, x8, x10, x12, x15, x18, x20, x25, x50 and x100.

Free Spins Feature

When 3 or more bonus symbols appear during the main game, the free spins feature is activated.

• 3 bonus symbols trigger the free spins feature.
• 4 bonus symbols trigger the free spins feature with an initial multiplier of x5.
• 5 bonus symbols trigger the free spins feature with an initial multiplier of x10.

Only the following symbols are available during the free spins feature: fish, fisherman, boat, booster and junkyard. Above each reel are a lock counter and a multiplier counter.

The free spins feature will start with reels 2 and 4 being filled with grid symbols and all 3 lock positions being filled on the lock counter. For each spin, the lock on the lock counter is removed. Once all locks have been removed from the counter, the net symbols will move down 1 position for each spin. The free spins feature continues as long as there are net symbols on the reels. Net symbols can also land on the reels in stacks of 4 during each spin. The fisherman symbol works in the free spins feature in the same way as it does in the main game – it collects all instant prizes on the reels when it lands on a net symbol, whether they are in a net symbol or not. If there are fish symbols in the nets, they also pay out to the net symbol. Fish symbols do not pay out line wins during the free spins feature. Reel multipliers only apply to fish symbols on the corresponding reel. All reel multipliers in the multiplier counter are applied before the fisherman symbol collects any fish symbols in the nets.

Boat Symbol

In the Free Spins feature, the boat symbol acts as a special symbol to add and lock the “Grid” symbols. The effect of the boat symbol on the reel depends on the state of the lock counter and the presence of “Grid” symbols:

• When the lock counter is inactive and there are no “Net” symbols, the counter is activated with 3 active locks and the reel is filled with “Net” symbols.
• When the lock counter is inactive and there are “Grid” symbols, the counter is activated with 3 active locks and the rest of the reel is filled with “Grid” symbols.
• When the lock counter is active, it resets to 3 active locks.

Boost Symbol

The Boost symbol is only available during the free spins feature. It increases the multiplier on the multiplier scale above the reel by 1 step. Boost symbols are activated before the winnings are counted.

Dud Symbol

The Invalid symbol is only available during the free spins feature. The Invalid symbol has no value.

Paytable

The payout table reflects the current betting configuration based on the base bet.
