In 440 spins at 1.00 the balance never once got above its opening 1,000.00, and 51.1% of the stake came back. The Fisherman Wild only shows up in Free Spins, where he collects every Fish value on screen; my one round paid 24 times the bet.
Catch Of The Day is a 5-reel, 3-row slot with 10 pay lines, and its RTP is 95.05%. The Fisherman Wild collecting Fish is an idea it shares with Big Bass Bonanza Megaways and Fishin' Frenzy Megaways. It takes wagers between 0.10 and 30.00 per spin. I played it at 1.00 per spin from a starting balance of 1,000.00.
When it arrives to the symbols there are no surprises entailed, and on the reels you will spot the usual royal ranks as well as the trio of fishing symbols - Lifebuoy, Hook and Boot. The Fish pays on the lines as well, and the low end is made up of A, K, Q, J and 10. The most profitable, however, is the Trophy. It will grant you 200 times the stake should you hit 5 across a complete pay line in the base game. Five Lifebuoys pay 100 times the stake, five Hooks or Boots 50 times, five Fish 20 times and five of any royal 10 times, so a full line of Aces is enough for a 10x hit in the base game.
Hit 3 Scatters. They count from any position on the reels. You'll be given entry to the free spins round with 10 spins from the outset. Four Scatters raise the count to 15 Free Spins and five raise it to 20.
Now, every time a Fisherman Wild drops on the reels, it will collect the cash values of all Fish on display, and as the Scatters are eliminated during the free spins round, retriggers are not possible. Fish land with values from 2x to 50x the bet, and with more than one Fisherman in view the Fish are collected once for each of them.
The Minty Summary: 51.1% came back over 440 spins against a printed 95.05%, and the single bonus I triggered paid 24 times the stake while the game advertises a cap of 8,333. A fisherman with that kind of reach should have caught more than one fish supper.
Having tested Catch Of The Day for 440 spins, I recovered 51.1% of what I bet. Only 136 of the 440 spins paid anything, 80 of those paid less than the 1.00 stake, and the one Free Spins round, on spin 389, returned 24.00 as my biggest win. The balance never climbed above where it began.
