Fish Tales Double Catch Slot

Fish Tales Double Catch is a 5-reel, 3-row slot from Booming Games with 10 active pay lines. The game can be played from a minimum bet of 10 cents, and you can win a maximum of 10000x your bet size. The game has 3 major symbols that pay from 200x to 50x your bet size and 5 minor symbols that pay from 10x to 5x your bet size on connections of 5 symbols. Fish symbols with values from 1x to 100x are also part of the game, and 3, 4, or 5 of them will give you 1x, 5x or 20x win. On any spin, you will get a net on the screen, and this net will collect all fish values on the screen and give you a win. The game has a barrel boost feature as well, where every time you get less than 3 bonus symbols, they will be collected in a barrel right above the slot screen. The fisherman is the wild symbol and substitutes all symbols apart from fish and scatter symbols. On any random spin, or when you have two scatter symbols on the grid, the barrel may break, giving you bonus symbols and, in the process, triggering free spins.
Landing 3, 4 or 5 scatters will trigger 10, 15, or 20 free spins, and you will get two progress bars on top and bottom of the slot grid. Every time you have the fish symbol on screen along with the fisherman symbol, the number of fish collected updates the multiplier progress bar, and the fisherman symbol collects the free spins bar. Collecting 8 fish symbols every time will increase your multipliers in order of 2x, 3x, 5x, and finally 10x. The collection of 4 fisherman symbols every time will award you 5 extra free spins. To trigger the bonus quicker through the base game, you can pay 50% extra of your base bet. If you don’t want to play the base game and head straight into the bonus, you can do that by paying an amount of 75x your bet. By paying 150x your bet, you can activate the gold bonus where all fish symbols have 2x the value.

The base game isn’t wager-friendly, and a major chunk of the spins cause you to lose. Even when you make a winning connection, you still end up losing money, as symbol payout values, apart from the major symbols, are really low. The bonus, 9 out of 10 times, ends without making any progress to the next level.

A slot from Booming Games and has a fishing theme as the title would suggest and comes with 5 reels, 3 rows and 10 fixed pay lines. Min bet is just 0.10 but can depend on the currency you're playing with. There is an option to play with ante bet on which costs 50% more and that gives you some extra chance to get the features.

Speaking of features, there’s actually two features, one is the base game net feature and the other is the free spins feature. The net feature just collects all the fish which have money values and the free spins feature well that is the main feature of the game and you need those 3 scatters to trigger it which I tried to get but wasn’t able to do so yet. But if do get at least 3 then you get the 10 free spins, if you get 4 of them then you get 15 spins and if you get 5 then you get 20 free spins to start with. One day I hope to achieve that.

The music is country music style easy going and sound effects are fish related water sounds for any time something happens on the reels such as a win, not bad I would say as good as other providers.

Had a few sessions on it trying to get the bonus feature and nothing has showed up yet so will have to try again another time to see if the fish show up to take the bait. Best base win was 10x and I am sure it can do more so will see if I get around to playing it again.

The bonus buy has 3 options actually and they are 75x, 150x, and 250x. There is everything for everyone that wants to try a bonus buy and those that want to spend big. The 150x just gives you 2x multiplier on all fish prizes while the hefty 250x gives you a mystery multiplier on all fish prizes. I think it should be tried out in demo before investing any real money on those bonus buys so keep that in mind.

Another positive about this slot is that it has a hefty max win cap of 10000x and that makes it worth to give some spins in case you get lucky to hit that big win.

Haven’t been able to get a bonus feature yet on this slot so that is one area that I could say I don’t like about it but I also haven’t gotten around to doing any bonus buys and will only play slots naturally the way they are meant to be played.

Fishing themes are not my favorite themes when it comes to slots so that is another thing.
