Wild Catch Slot Review

Bonus Features in Wild Catch

Considering the rather simple fishing theme, there’s a surprising amount of variety on offer from the gameplay in Wild Catch. You’ll find Rolling Reels, wild extras, free spins and multipliers in this angling extravaganza.

Rolling Reels feature

The Wild Catch slot uses a Rolling Reels game engine. Land a winning combination and the successful symbols are removed. New ones drop in and replace them and a new payout combination is made. The symbol drops keep on coming if a new winner is formed.

The Rolling Reels feature has been used in plenty of Games Global slots such as Aliya’s Wishes.

Splashing Wilds feature

The Splashing Wilds feature can trigger randomly on any base game spin. When they appear, they will turn the whole of reels 2, 3 or 4 wild. The whole of the reel remains wild for the duration of any successful Reel Rolls that follow. The Splashing Wild disappears following an unsuccessful Reel Roll.

Free Spins feature

The Free Spins feature is triggered by landing 3, 4 or 5 of the golden fish scatter symbol on the same spin. You’ll receive a payout of 5, 25 or 250 times your total stake.

There are 3 different free spin options which offer different combinations of spins, multipliers and expanding Growing Wilds stacks. The Growing Wilds increase by 1, 2 or 3 with every free spin.

Option 1 is unlocked immediately. To unlock options 2 and 3, you’ll need to trigger the free spins round 5 and 10 times respectively. Here’s a table highlighting the number of free spins, potential multipliers and max win:

Option	Free Spins	Multipliers	Growing Wilds	Max Win
1	15	1x, 2x, 3x, 5x and 10x	Increases by 1	3,600 x stake
2	10	2x, 3x, 5x, 10x and 15x	Increases by 2	5,400 x stake
3	5	3x, 5x, 10x, 15x and 25x	Increases by 3	9,000 x stake

Jackpots feature

Wild Catch also offers the chance to land 1 of 3 potential jackpot prizes. Wild symbols are collected after a spin and any subsequent Reel Rolls. The more wilds collected, the better the chances of winning a prize:

• Bronze Jackpot = 10 x total stake
• Silver Jackpot = 100 x total stake
• Gold Jackpot = 2,000 x total stake

The jackpots can strike in both the base game and the free spins round.

Wild Catch Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Wild Catch slot is played on 5 reels, 5 rows and a total of 50 paylines. A win is created when you get matching symbols from left to right on any of the paylines.

You can cast away from between 20p and £20 per spin. Autoplay is possible too. You can also set quick play with the turbo spin feature. Click on the lightning bolt to activate this option.

Fishing is said to be a tranquil and relaxing pursuit. You wouldn’t say that about Wild Catch though. This is a volatile slot and the variance is high. With a hit frequency of 29.56%, you’ll get a winning combination every 3 in 10 spins approximately.

The Wild Catch RTP is 96.3%. That’s not quite whopper territory but it’s not a tiddler RTP either. The max win is 9,000 x stake per free spin though which is good.

Wild Catch Theme – Audio and Design Features – impressive visuals reminiscent of Wild Alaska

You’ll get a real sense of the rugged outdoors in the Wild Catch slot. With a blue lake, forests and mountains in the background, it has the feel of wild Alaska.

There aren’t any playing card symbols on the 5×5 reel grid. All the symbols relate to the fishing theme. They’re very well put together too and have a comic book feel about them. You’ll see 9 standard symbols in all including flies, reels, tackle plus fishermen (and women) in an assortment of poses.

The top standard symbol is the bearded man holding his catch of the day. Land 3, 4 or 5 of these in combination and you’ll win a payout of 0.5, 2 or 10 x your total stake.

Microgaming has created a Wild Catch mobile version. It works very nicely on the smaller screen devices. The impressive visuals are fine and you’ll find the same volatile gameplay if you’re using your tablet or mobile.

Wild Catch Review Summary – far more entertaining that a cold, wet day by the canal

Despite the best efforts of Paul Whitehouse and Bob Mortimer, we’ve never really seen the attraction of fishing. This virtual trip to the wild was more to our liking. The design in Wild Catch is superb. Those impressive visuals are matched by the volatile gameplay which can deliver some pretty wild action, especially if the multipliers work their magic in the Free Spins feature.

To get the bigger rolling reels multipliers in the Free Spins feature, you need to trigger the Free Spins feature 5 or 10 times. This is just like the Immortal Romance slot where the Chamber of Spins has 4 levels. The potential 9,000 x stake max win can only be won if you choose option 3 in the Free Spins feature and get a perfect combination with the 25x multiplier.

If you fancy sampling the great outdoors from the comfort of your own home, the Wild Catch slot is a good place to start. Another option is Fishin’ Frenzy by Blueprint Gaming which is a very popular slot.
