Before you set in the Alaskan tundra, you should set your bets. By clicking on "+/-" you will set coins size which ranges from 0.01 to 0.05, and "Coins" is used to set the number of coins per line that you wish to bet. "Max Bet" is used to set the maximum bet available. "Spin" will set the reels in motion, and "Autoplay" option is used to turn the reels without interruption for a chosen number of times.
Wild symbol in the game is the game logo appears stacked on the reels and it substitutes for all the symbols except the scatter and bonus symbol.
If you hit fisherman symbols on the reels 1 and 5 you will trigger Fly Fishing bonus. Once triggered you will be taken to another screen where you will get to pick 5 posts to fish. You can be awarded with the bonus range between x2 and x15. Or wins in this round will be multiplied by the total bet staked.
Fishing tackle is the Scatter, and it can form scatter wins. You need to land 3 or more of these to trigger Free Spins feature. Once triggered you will be awarded with 15 spins. All wins during this feature are doubled. The feature can be re-triggered.

Alaskan Fishing takes the 243 way game right back to basics, there's way less bells and whilstles here than say, Thunderstruck 2, but the game still has a decent jackpot of 1,215,000 coins which remains tantalising close on every single spin as it is achieved by "simply" landing a full screen of the stacked wild symbols. Of course, like most games that feature these symbols it's a very rare spin when you get even three reels full of stacked wilds, but the fact you don't need to be in a bonus or free spins in order to land the games jackpot definitely creates a feeling of possibility and being "close" that you can't get by waiting around for the "Wild Desire" to drop in Immortal Romance every couple of hundred spins.
The rest of the wins in this game aren't quite so exciting, and you are definitely going to need to see a good number of those stacked wilds in order to have a profitable session - there is a second "Pick Me" bonus included but the maximum win from that is 45x your bet, or often less, as there are not always three picks with the maximum 15x bet waiting underneath. Five scatters is a little better, paying 100x stake, though four scatters is lower than average for a 243 ways game at just 10x stake. There are no extra free spins awarded for scoring more than three scatters. Free Spins wins are doubled compared to the base game which is a little low for a 243 ways slot - the base game wins are a little higher to compensate for this making Alaskan Fishing somewhat lower variance than other similar games, but this is still a monster that can eat your bankroll for breakfast when it's in that kind of mood.
