Game Rules

The Wild symbol substitutes for all symbols in the paytable.

FS symbols cannot land during the STONE COLD, ICE BREAKERS, and CATCH AND RELAX bonuses.

MARLIN Symbols and LootLines

Marlin symbols are dynamic winning symbols that display cash values.

The cash value shown on the symbol represents the payout awarded if the Marlin symbol is part of a LootLine or is collected by the Fisherman. Marlin symbols carry values ​​based on the following bet multipliers: 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, 9x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 250x, 500x, 1000x.

A LootLine is formed when a winning line of Marlin symbols appears on the game board. The payout for a LootLine is determined by the values ​​of the Marlin symbols involved in the win.
If a Marlin symbol’s value is too large to be displayed in full, it is truncated to two decimal places. The displayed value represents the minimum possible win, although the actual amount may be higher. For example, 12,500,000 might be displayed as 12.50M.

Fisherman Symbols

When a Fisherman symbol lands, it collects all Marlin symbols on the game board. Each Fisherman symbol on the board collects one Marlin symbol, moving from top to bottom and left to right. Fisherman symbols activate after standard wins and LootLine wins have been awarded.

Fisherman symbols can land with a multiplier value. Once all Marlin symbols have been collected, the Fisherman symbol multiplies the collected value to determine the final awarded win. Fisherman symbols can carry the following multiplier values: x1, x2, x3, x4, x5, x10, x15, x20.
Each Fisherman symbol on the reels awards the collected value as a final cash prize. A maximum of three Fisherman symbols and two Ice Fisherman symbols can land on the reels during a single spin.

Ice Marlin And Ice Fisherman Symbols

Four Ice Marlin symbols appear outside the main reel area and remain inactive until activated by an Ice Fisherman symbol. Ice Marlin symbols carry a cash prize value that changes randomly with each spin. Ice Marlin symbol values ​​are based on the following bet multipliers: 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 250x, 500x, 1000x.

When the Ice Fisherman symbol lands, it can activate between 1 and 4 Ice Marlin symbols during the spin—after standard wins and LootLine wins are awarded, and once all Fisherman symbols have finished collecting. Upon activating the Ice Marlin symbols, the Ice Fisherman symbol collects all Ice Marlin and Marlin symbols present on the reels.
Ice Fisherman symbols can land with a multiplier value. After all Ice Marlin and Marlin symbols have been collected, the Ice Fisherman symbol multiplies the total collected value to determine the final payout. Ice Fisherman symbols can carry the following multiplier values: x1, x2, x3, x4, x5, x10, x15, x20.
Ice Marlin symbols do not contribute to standard wins or LootLine wins.

Bonus Game

Stone Cold

Trigger this bonus, which awards 8 free spins, by landing 3 FS scatter symbols simultaneously during the base game.

This bonus game retains the mechanics of the base game. Additionally, an Ice Meter is displayed outside the game grid. Each time a Fisherman or Ice Fisherman symbol appears on the grid, the Ice Meter rises by one level. This increase occurs regardless of whether any Fisherman symbol collects Marlin or Ice Marlin symbols.

A new level on the Ice Meter is reached for every four Fisherman or Ice Fisherman symbols that land:
Level 1 awards 5 additional free spins and guarantees that all subsequent Fisherman and Ice Fisherman symbols will land with a multiplier of at least x2.
Level 2 awards 5 additional free spins and guarantees that all subsequent Fisherman and Ice Fisherman symbols will land with a multiplier of at least x3.
Level 3 awards 5 additional free spins and guarantees that all subsequent Fisherman and Ice Fisherman symbols will land with a multiplier of at least x5.

Throughout the bonus, Ice Marlin symbols have a minimum value of 5x.

Ice Breakers

Trigger this bonus with 10 free spins by landing 4 FS scatter symbols simultaneously in the base game.

This bonus retains the same mechanics as the STONE COLD bonus. Additionally, once activated, Ice Marlin symbols remain active for the duration of the bonus. Ice Marlin symbols carry a minimum value of 10x.
If both Fisherman and Ice Fisherman symbols appear on the reels simultaneously, Fisherman symbols collect all Marlin symbols and activated Ice Marlin symbols. Then, Ice Fisherman symbols activate any available Ice Marlin symbols before collecting them.

Hidden Epic Bonus – Catch And Relax

Trigger this bonus, featuring 10 free spins, by landing 5 FS scatter symbols simultaneously in the base game.

This bonus retains the mechanics of the main game. In addition, one Fisher symbol and one Marlin symbol are guaranteed in each spin. Once activated, the Ice Marlin symbols remain active until the end of the bonus. Ice Marlin symbols will have a minimum value of 10x.
If the Fisherman and Ice Fisherman symbols are on the field at the same time, the Fisherman symbols collect all Marlin symbols and activated Ice Marlin symbols. The Ice Fisher symbols will then activate the available Ice Marlin symbols before collecting them.

How To Win

The requirements for winning combinations in the base game also apply during bonus features or free spins, unless stated otherwise. Each bet qualifies for all winning combinations, unless stated otherwise.
You win if matching symbols appear on one of the designated paylines across adjacent reels from left to right, starting with the leftmost reel. There are 9 paylines in this game.
The number of symbols required for a win is specified in the paytable.
After every win, the symbols forming the winning combination are removed and new ones drop down. This process continues until no new winning combinations remain on the reels.

Information

The early morning sun is barely peeking over the mountains as Big Bob sets out across the ice. His boots crunch in the fresh snow with every step. With a tackle box under one arm, a fishing rod under the other, and a steaming cup of coffee in hand, he heads toward the ice shack.
Will Bob be lucky enough to catch the frozen frenzy lurking beneath the ice, or is a cold the only thing he’ll catch?
