Play Fisherman's Luck™ for Free

Layout, Betting Range, and Payouts

The Fisherman's Luck™ online slot plays out on a 5x3 grid matrix with an additional top row that I particularly liked for its lethal play-making capacity. As expected, given that there are no base game symbols to line up on the grid, I did not find any paylines. So, my only path to unlocking wins was via bonus features, and they came through with consistent assists from the top row.

I enjoyed the wide betting range that starts from 0.40 coins to a whopping 5,000 coins in a spin. As such, this online casino game is a perfect choice for high rollers and players with limited gameplay budgets alike. I can also confirm that the listed 96.13% RTP appears to be accurate enough, as my returns per gameplay session were above average compared to slots games with lower RTP ratings.

Volatility, on the other hand, comes with three adjustable levels, from low to medium and high. As a result, the pace of excitement levels was at my fingertips throughout. To get the best of both worlds in terms of payout size and win frequency, I played with medium volatility. Payouts max out at 2,500x the bet in the Grand Jackpot prize, which kept me spinning, hoping to get lucky. Six main elements drive this exciting online slot machine game:

Gainer™ and Cash Out Symbols

Gainer™ and Cash Out icons exclusively land on the top row. They both bear a countdown, 10 for the Gainer™ and 10 to 20 for Cash Out, with the number reducing by 1 per spin. These top row icons stay sticky throughout their respective countdowns, and I was impressed by how often the two icons popped up. With each spin, the Gainer™ collected all the values displayed on the Cash and Jackpot reels in the 5x3 grid matrix below till the countdown completes. The said values carried by special icons are as follows:

Multiplier symbols also landed to boost the total prizes garnered on the respective reel by x2 to x10. But then, strangely enough, no matter how many Cash and Jackpot icons I collected on the Gainer™ above, I did not automatically earn a payout from them as I had initially expected. This was rather disappointing as it created a false momentum that got me all excited, only to take me back to square one despite racking up huge values before the countdowns ended. The only way to bag a win here is when you trigger reel re-spins or unlock the free spins bonus game.

Reel Respins

To my relief, I eventually unlocked 3 reel respins when the countdown on one of the Cash Out icons hit 0. I finally bagged a win after a pair of Cash symbols and a Jackpot icon filled the 3 spots on the reel right below the Cash Out icon, before the respins counter got to 0. The value of the bonus symbols was summed up and paid out, then the respins were reset to 3 to start the process all over again. But this was just the beginning, as the action was only getting started after a long wait.

Free Spins Bonus Game

This is where the fishing experience got real. The free spins bonus game is the star of the show here, and it certainly upped the ante when I finally unlocked it. I activated 10 free spins by landing a free spins bonus symbol on the same reel as an active Gainer™ icon. All special symbols (Cash Out, Cash, and Jackpot) were then removed from the grid, but were restored after the bonus round.

At the end of the bonus round, the Cash and Jackpot prizes collected under an active Gainer™ were added to my balance directly. I enjoyed some really heavy hits here that grew bigger when the Gain™ Booster icons landed to increase the Gainer™ countdown figure by 3.

Better still, I was lucky enough to strike the Gain™ to Infinity symbol. It changed the countdown numbers to infinity so that I could keep collecting special symbol prizes to the end of the free spins. At this point, things would have gotten even more explosive had I retriggered 10 more free spins, as the Gain™ to Infinity symbol would still be active. The maximum prize listed for the entire free spins feature is 2,500x, which you earn when you land the Grand Jackpot icon.

Gamble Risk Game

This feature allowed me to double my payout by correctly guessing the color (red or green) of the hidden symbol. However, the downside was that an incorrect guess meant that I lost my initial payout. Interestingly, if you get lucky, you can keep going for a total of 7 times as long as you make the correct guesses with wins capped at 12,500,000 coins.

That said, I was too worried about losing my initial win to try the gamble risk game beyond the second or third try in most cases. Playing on to the seventh gamble was just too risky for my liking. Nonetheless, if you have a higher risk appetite, you might enjoy the thrill of going all the way to the seventh, and the payout will certainly be worthwhile.

Chance Level™

You have to be patient when you play Fisherman's Luck™ slot online, especially if you pick the high volatility option. However, if that’s not the path you want to follow, the Chance Level™ option will come to your rescue if regulation allows premium features in your region. Here’s what’s on the Chance Level™ menu:

When I tried out Chance Level™ x2, the impact on the game was barely noticeable, but bumping things up to Chance Level™ x5 appeared to reduce the wait for free spins. However, I felt the pinch on my budget and had to switch back to the standard play mode as I was burning through my balance too quickly.

Buy Feature

Well, if you feel like the Chance Level™ still takes too long to trigger free spins, you can jump right in with the Buy Feature if available in your region. I took the standard volatility option, which cost me 100x my wager for instant access, and things got intense right away. It was ultimately a worthy venture for me as I ended up getting 240 coins after spending 200 coins to instantly trigger the free spins. While that might not always be the case, it was certainly a risk worth taking. Here is the range of options available when I hit the Buy Feature button:
