Golden Catch slot review
Big Time Gaming released Golden Catch in May 2022, putting the fishing money-collect idea on a Megaways grid. Its six reels show between two and seven symbols each, for up to 117,649 ways, and boats anchored above the reels collect Fish Bonus Prizes that surface during Reactions. The maximum win is 31,430x stake.

How Golden Catch plays
Reel heights, and with them the number of ways, change on every spin. Each win starts a Reaction: the winning symbols are removed and new ones drop into the gaps, which can create another win on the same spin.
- Card values from 9 to A are the low pays.
- Green, blue, red and purple high pays sit above them, with purple the most valuable.
- An anchor wild substitutes for the paying symbols.
When a Reaction removes winning symbols, one or more Fish Bonus Prizes are revealed, and each can be worth up to 500x stake. They only pay if a boat is anchored above the reels: every boat in view collects them, and in the base game a Golden Boat multiplies its catch by 10. Boats then shift one reel to the left after each Reaction, so the same boat can collect again.
Most fishing slots need a collector symbol to land on the reels. Here the collectors wait above the grid, and the prizes appear only when a win is cleared away.
Free spins and Boat Multipliers
Three or more scatters start 10 free spins, plus 2 for each scatter beyond the third. Boats turn up far more often here, each with a Boat Multiplier: the first is x1, the second x2, and each new boat adds one more, with no upper limit.
Fish Bonus Prizes are multiplied by the Boat Multipliers on display, so a late catch can be worth much more than an early one. Three or more scatters during the free spins add 4 more spins, plus 2 for each scatter beyond the third.
