There are 25 paylines, 3 rows, and 5 reels when playing the Fishin' for Gold slot machine. Three or more matching symbols on any one of the 25 paylines can result in a winning combination. However, all winnings must start on reel 1; this is a typical left-to-right pay game.
Low value A, K, Q, and J royals can be seen on the reels. In addition, boots, fish buckets, penguins, and polar bears are present. For a combination of 3, 4, or 5, the latter pays 4, 8, or 40 times your stake. Oddly, the wild symbol is absent until the Free Spins function is activated. The scatter and key to the three bonus features is the gold fish symbol.
When the goldfish bonus symbol appears on reels 2, 3, and 4 at the same time, the Fishin' for Gold Bonus feature is triggered. Then, when the search for gold commences, you select your devoted fisherman. To win multiplier wilds, extra wilds (for the free spins), or free spins, you make picks and reel in fish.
You get to play with extra wild symbols and multiplier wilds of two, three, or five times when you're in the Free Spins feature. Symbols that are caught during the feature are wild and can substitute any other symbol—aside from the Gone Fishin' signs—appearing as golden symbols. Two more free spins will be awarded to you if you manage to gather three of these.
The bonus chance metre will increase if you land two bonus symbols in the base game. After that, you can spin the wheel whenever you want to try and land the third and last scatter, which will launch the Fishin' for Gold Bonus feature. The only thing the wheel will cost per spin is 1 x stake. As the green segment grows, your odds of getting the third bonus scatter rise the more times you get the first two.
