How It Pays – Cash Fish and Jackpot Symbols
this slot strips away the wait-for-collector mechanic. Fish symbols land in different sizes across all 6 reels and carry cash prizes ranging from 0.2x to 100x your stake. When they line up, prizes sum and pay immediately – no scatter needed. This is the Cash Ways system at work, and it gives the base game genuine prize momentum.
Premium symbols – tackle boxes, rods, crabs, seagulls, and the fisherman – pay 30 to 100x for 6 of a kind. The fishing boat is Wild and completes regular pay lines. On reel 6 only, 4 Big Game Jackpot fish symbols can land: Big (100x), Super (500x), Mega (2,000x), and Ultra (10,000x your stake). These jackpots only trigger if the jackpot fish is part of a winning line.
The Giant Squid feature fires at random in both base and bonus modes. When it hits, it rearranges cash fish symbols from locked to active reels, guaranteeing or improving a prize win. Sharp tool when the board feels stuck.
Respins Bonus Round – Shark Clears and Sticky Fish
Land 3 or more Marlin scatters anywhere to trigger the Respins Bonus Round. All reels containing triggering symbols activate immediately; remaining reels are locked. You start with 3 respins. During the feature, only fish prize symbols and blanks appear. Each fish symbol resets the respins count to 3 again.
Fish symbols stick to active reels. When a full reel fills with sticky fish, a Shark clears it and multiplies all prizes on that reel by 2x – a hard boost that compounds across multiple shark hits. The Giant Squid can also trigger randomly during respins, moving fish from locked to active reels and chaining wins together.
Non-UK players and eligible jurisdictions may purchase the Respins Bonus for 60x the stake, bypassing the scatter wait. This is where the slot grows teeth.
