Fishin’ Reels Bonus Features

If you want to go fishing for some epic wins, then you’ll need to cast your way out of the base game and hook in some bonus features. Thankfully the Fishin’ Reels video slot has a two-sided bonus game, one with an extra mini bonus round, to help you haul in some sizable prizes.

Wilds

The wild can only land on reels 2, 3 and 4 and will substitute for all paying symbols, excluding the bonus, fish money or fisherman symbols.

Scatters

The scatter in Fishin’ Reels comes in the form of a spiky nosed marlin, the prize catch of the ocean. It’s known as the Bonus symbol in this slot, and landing 3, 4, or 5 of these on the reels in the base game will trigger the free spins feature and award 10, 12, or 15 free spins respectively.

Free Spins

Once you’ve triggered the free spins feature in this slot, you get a choice of which version you wish to play. You can click on either Reel’ Em In (win often) or The Big Catch (win big) to start using your spins in that variant of the bonus game. Here’s how each one works:

Reel’ Em In – friendly looking fish symbols will land across the reels with cash values of between 0.5x up to 250x your stake attached. If they appear alongside a fisherman symbol on reel 5, then he’ll start reeling in all the values on the reels from that spin and total them up as a single win. Any can of worms symbols that get reeled in will give you 2 additional free spins each.

The Big Catch – in this version, a special Big Catch symbol can appear on top of the slot’s reels. Landing 3 of these will award you 2 additional free spins and trigger a mini bonus game. The screen changes to show 8 jolly-looking fish, each with a value between 0.2x and 250x your total bet attached. Whichever one is caught by the fisherman has its value-added to your free spins prize pot. No more Big Catch symbols will appear if all the fish have been caught.

Fishin’ Reels Jackpot

There’s no jackpot present in Fishin’ Reels, so if you’re looking for some epic wins, you might have to go elsewhere. The top potential here is a modest 1,200x your bet.

RTP and Volatility

You’ll be able to go fishing with a slightly above average RTP of 96.50% in this slot. It’s rated as a highly volatile game so you might be waiting a while for any substantial payouts here.
