Pragmatic Play · 2023
A fishing-themed Pragmatic Play video slot on a 5x3 grid with high volatility. This page sets out its figures, bonus modes and market rules before you spin.
Symbols land on five reels with three rows each, and ten fixed paylines pay from the leftmost reel to the right. Two matching symbols on a payline can already pay, so small wins count too. The fishing theme runs through the symbols, alongside the card symbols A, K, Q and J. Three or more Money symbols start Hold & Spinner, a money round on a fishing net.
Three, four or five Scatter symbols award 10, 15 or 20 Free Spins. During Free Spins, the Fisherman Wild appears on every reel and replaces every symbol except Scatter and Money. Each Wild collects a fish money value on a 12-slot meter, and every fourth one adds 10 spins. Hold & Spinner starts with four respins, which reset on each new Money symbol.

Three Bonus Modes Ahead
If you wonder how a bonus starts, the modes below show each trigger and its award.
3, 4 or 5 SCATTER symbols award 10, 15 or 20 free spins. WILD Fisherman replaces all but SCATTER and MONEY. WILDs fill a 12-slot FISH MONEY meter. Every 4th WILD collected adds 10 spins, with x2 at 4th, x3 at 8th and x10 at 12th. Max 3 retriggers.
Base Game reelsFree spins, multipliers
3 or more MONEY symbols trigger the round. The grid turns into a fishing net; non-MONEY cells become filler. The round starts with 4 respins. Each new MONEY hit resets respins to 4 and adds its value to the total. The total is awarded when respins run out.
Base Game reelsTotal money prize
Each spin lands symbols on a 5x3 grid. 10 fixed paylines pay from the leftmost reel to the right. Three or more MONEY symbols trigger Hold & Spinner, and three or more SCATTER symbols trigger Free Spins.
Placing a betWins on paylines
Pressing the buy starts the bonus round directly, at 100 times the total bet, which is A$500 at the A$5 example bet.

Each spin on the reels returns a share of what was staked, and the RTP is that share over time, measured per A$100 staked. The version we run is shown in the game rules.
| Version | RTP | Yes or no |

| Version 1 | 96.09% | Excluded |
| Version 2 | 96.07% | Available |
Five steps to start
You will know how a round runs, from the bet you pick to the limit you set.
You choose a bet between A$0.10 and A$375 before the first spin. The paytable shows what each symbol pays on that bet so you can read it before any spin.
Wins are read left to right from the leftmost reel, across ten fixed paylines. Two matching symbols can already pay, and three or more MONEY or SCATTER symbols trigger a bonus.
In the base game, SCATTER and MONEY symbols trigger the two bonus rounds. Multipliers only come into play in Free Spins, rising from x2 to x10 as Wilds are collected.
Three, four or five SCATTER symbols award 10, 15 or 20 spins. Then the Fisherman WILD appears on every reel and collects FISH MONEY values on a 12-slot meter.
Set your limit before the first spin, since neither bonus round can be timed or predicted. Stop when the limit is reached, whatever is on the reels.
Three or more Money symbols start Hold & Spinner, and three or more Scatter symbols start Free Spins, on the 5x3 grid. How often either one lands is not known in advance. Every spin is random, so one session can bring several bonus rounds or none at all. The result of one session is random whatever the RTP version.
Each spin on the 5x3 grid runs on one of two RTP versions. Which version 888 Casino runs is shown only in the game rules. The version decides the long-run return, so the rules are where to look before the first spin.
Landing the best combination on the reels can pay up to x10,000 of the bet, and that ceiling is reached very rarely. At an A$5 bet the ceiling is A$50,000, a limit and not a plan for any session. Read it as the highest possible payout, never as an expected one.
Find a Better Fit
Useful when you want to compare other reels before you pick the next game to try.
Each round on the reels is for players 18+ only. For help, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, or self-exclude through BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Each spin on the reels draws from your balance, so set a budget before you start. Once it is spent, close the game, whatever the reels showed.
A big win on the reels is when stopping gets hardest, so decide your end point first. Keep to it, even after a good run.
Every round on the reels takes money from your balance, so set deposit and loss limits in your account before you play.
A pause away from the reels is the simplest step once the game stops being fun. If you need more time, self-exclusion is the longer option.
Four questions
At 888 Casino we answer the questions before the first spin, with the figures as they stand.
A spin on the reels can be placed from A$0.10 up to A$375. The A$0.40 and A$5 examples on this page sit inside that range, and the paytable uses A$0.40 as its stake. Higher bets raise every payout in the same proportion.
A winning spin on the reels can pay up to x10,000 the bet. At A$5 that is A$50,000, and at the top bet of A$375 it reaches A$3,750,000. Reaching it depends on the random outcomes of the reels, so it cannot be planned.
Three, four or five Bass fish Scatter symbols on the reels award 10, 15 or 20 free spins. Each fourth Wild collected adds 10 more spins, and the collection multiplier climbs to x10 at the twelfth.
Spins on the reels return a share of each stake, and RTP is that average over a very large number of spins. This game has two RTP versions, 96.07% and 96.09%; the table shows money returns for A$100 staked. Any single session can end above or below that average.
