Wild Catch, launched mid 2013, is a 5-reel fishing themed video slot from Microgaming. The slot benefits from wilds, multiplying free spins, a dedicated free spin bonus and a stupendously high number of pay lines
Wild Catch Theme
Wild Catch presents 5 reels in front of an expansive blue ocean. The slot is themed around sea fishing, which is why the reels give the impression you're on a boat. There's a few indicators on the reels too with icons including boats, swordfish, fisherman, fishing trophies, scales and colorful fishing lures.
As this is a traditional style slot, or pokie machine, you can expect to find a variety of classic icons. These include 9, 10, J, Q, K and A.
The sound-effects are rather underwhelming in comparison to other slots. They are rather generic, almost boring in fact. Their savings grace is that each spin of the reel sounds a little like a fishing reel, this is probably a coincidence but is a welcome factor all the same.
Betting Options and More Functions
Total bets (the amount gambled per spin) range from 0.30 to $150. This is pretty decent spread for a slot that offers up to 243 win-ways. As with other slots you can use either regular or automatic spins to play.
Wild Catch Slot Features
The smiling swordfish icon acts as a wild and will trigger 5 free games when three or more appear in any position. These free spins benefit from 3X multipliers and you will win an additional free spin for every wild icon that appears. These wilds can substitute for all symbols except the scattered fisherman.
Speaking of scatters, three or more of these boastful fisherman will also trigger a series of free spins. 3, 4 or 5 of these icons will award 10, 15 or 20 free spins respectively that begin with 1x multipliers (so a level playing field). Each wild win during these free spins will increase the multiplier by 1X, up to a maximum of 10X if you have 9 consecutive wild wins.
Our Take on Wild Catch
There's a surprising number of fishing themed video slots about at the moment. Wild Catch is certainly good enough to keep up with them in terms of features and we'd predict that the $7,500 jackpot will provide players incentive too. Try wild catch at any of the Microgaming powered casinos listed below.
