The Net Gains RTP is 96.1% which is just higher than the online average of 96%. High volatility, Relax Gaming classes this as 5/5. Expect a winning combination every 3.69 spins on average as the hit frequency rate is 27.03%.

Lastly, the Net Gains slot game comes with 15,000 x bet max wins. Bigger wins will come from the free spins where you play with Coin collection, sticky mystery or stacked wilds. However, the average win in the Free Spins feature is 96.5 x your total bet.

Theme – go in pursuit of the sea’s treasures

With a pirate theme, the Net Gains slot sees you go in pursuit of the sea’s treasures. Following on from the Beast Mode and Iron Bank slots, the Lion from Beast Mode has joined forces with the shark, croc and rhino.

Set in open waters, you trawl the sea for hidden riches in 3 different seascapes in the Free Spins feature. Excellently designed, the graphics are brilliant. With a pirate/fishing boat in the backdrop, you’ll see Captain Lion and his crew aboard the vessel.

On the reels, you’ll come across A, K, Q, J and 10 royals all on fishing hooks. The higher value symbols include gem necklaces, bottles of rum, an octopus, crabs and Captain Lion. Caption Lion is by far the most rewarding symbol with 3, 4, 5 or 6 in combination awarding 1, 2.5, 5 or 25 x your total bet.

The Shark is the wild symbol and substitutes for all regular paying symbols above. Other symbols include 3 mystery symbols (regular, octopus and bomb), the Ship’s Bell Bonus Scatter as well gold, silver and bronze coins. These are collected by collect or persistent collect treasure chests (more details below).

Net Gains Mobile

Created using HTML5 technology, Net Gains can be accessed on mobile, tablet, laptop and PC devices. It’s been optimised for smartphones using iOS, Android and Windows meaning it’s perfect for play on the open seas.

Net Gains Bonus Features

The Net Gains slot comes with 6 bonus features. With cascades, there are 3 different mystery symbols. It’s all about the 3 free spins modes which give you sticky mystery symbols, multiplier wilds or countdown wilds as well as coin collections where coins are worth up to 2,500 x bet.

Cascades feature

When a winning combination lands, the Cascades feature comes into play. Winning symbols are destroyed with new symbols falling down from above to fill the empty voids. Giving you new possibilities to win time and time again, this continues as long as new wins are being created.

Mystery Symbols feature

In the base game, look out for 3 different mystery symbols. Known as the Mystery Symbols feature, here’s what each of them will award:

Mystery Symbol	Description
Regular	All landed regular mystery symbols will transform to the same type of symbol
Octopus	Changes selected symbol into mystery symbols which then transform again
Bomb	Acts as regular mystery symbol but destroys all none mystery symbols after a win

If 2 Ship’s Bell Bonus Scatter symbols appear on the reels, 1 mystery symbol can transform into a third Ship’s Bell Bonus Scatter to trigger the Free Spins feature.

Free Spins feature

The Free Spins feature is triggered when 3 Ship’s Bell Bonus Scatter symbols appear anywhere on the reels. You then have 3 different seascapes to explore with 3 free spins choices. Here is what they entail:

In the Sticky Mystery free spins, mystery symbols are sticky. These are then added to the Mystery Meter which, when full, awards 1 extra free spin. You can also fill the Mystery Meter by 1 for each winning combination. Mystery symbols appear on reels 2-6.

When it comes to the Stacked Wilds free spins, 2 types of wilds can land. Multiplier wilds have a multiplier value between 2x and 5x. Countdown Wilds always begin with a counter of 3. When it’s part of a win, the counter drops down by 1. If Countdown Wilds are not destroyed, they remain sticky for the next free spin.

Lastly, the Coin Collection free spins sees gold, silver and bronze coins landing on the reels.

These are collected by landing Collect or Persistent Collect treasure chests. You can upgrade the coin values and win an additional free spin when you fill the Coin Meter. Each coin fill the meter by 1. If you land a Persistent Chest symbol, 5 extra free spins are awarded. Look out for a Coin Rain which sees 10 coins of the same type dropping onto the reels.

Additionally, the Hot Mode feature can trigger randomly at the beginning of any free spins mode. Basically, there is an increased chance of winning big.

Lastly, you can increase the chances of triggering the Free Spins feature by 82% for an extra 20% cost to your bet. Known as the Special Bet feature, it’s enabled by pressing/clicking the ‘Special Bet’ button to the right of the reels.

Buy Bonus feature

Players outside the UK have the option of the Buy Bonus feature. Guarantee entry into the Free Spins feature for 100 x your total bet. To help sweeten the deal, the RTP increases from 96.1% up to 96.5%.

Net Gains Review Summary – trawl unchartered waters with familiar faces

With familiar faces from Beast Mode, the Net Gains slot is an interesting open-water fishing adventure which looks superb. The attention to detail aesthetically is brilliant as usual from Relax Gaming. I love how the Lion, Shark, Rhino and Croc look like pirates off the coast of Somalia.

In terms of the gameplay, cascades are always welcome and so are mystery symbols. The best is the Octopus Mystery Symbol as this changes 1 randomly chosen symbol into a mystery symbol when then transforms again for a bigger win hopefully.

The main attraction is the Free Spins feature obviously. With 3 choices, like in the Iron Bank slot, my pick would be the Stacked Wilds free spins as wilds can come with multipliers up to 5x. That said, the Coin Collection free spins can see Gold Coins worth up to 2,500 x your total bet which is very high. I did find this mode to be the one that awarded the most extra free spins.

However, the high volatility will play a role. The average win in the Free Spins feature is 96.5 x your total bet which is quite low compared to the 15,000 x bet max wins available. Furthermore, the Iron Bank and Beast Mode slots offer top payouts of 49,999 and 25,000 x bet respectively.
