Golden Catch Review

The idea of catching fish has an archetypal quality to it, as people have been doing it for time immemorial. Perhaps this can explain why the fishing slot genre is so popular, and surely the concept also appeals to any player looking for that “big catch”. Big Time Gaming is bound to make waves with this release, as Golden Catch comes with a massive 31,430x potential and a clever cash fish catching feature in all stages of the game.

You can win big also in the base game, as x10 golden fish boats may appear to collect any fish revealed by Reaction wins. Each reaction is guaranteed to reveal fish, but you need boats to collect them. The boat multiplier keeps increasing per boat in the bonus round, and they also remain in play for potentially more than one reaction win. The semi-realistic visuals also make the game stand out, and it will be interesting to see if this one can dethrone Big Bass Bonanza.

Golden Catch Slot Features

The premium symbols pay between 0.6 and 50 x your stake for 6 of a kind wins, and the anchor Wild can appear on reels 2 to 5 to substitute for all regular pay symbols. All winning symbols are removed via the Reactions mechanic, and new and/or existing symbols will then drop down to fill the gaps.

The Reaction mechanic also reveals at least one Cash Fish symbol underneath the regular symbols, and the fish symbols come with random cash prizes. If one or more boats are present above the grid (reels 2 to 5 only), the fish prizes are collected by each of the boats. Boats move one step to the left per reaction win, so they can be used to collect prizes more than one time. Golden boats come with an x10 multiplier in the base game.

The Bonus Round triggers when you land 3 scatters anywhere in the same reactions sequence, and this awards 10 free spins. You get +2 extra spins on top of that for each triggering scatter above the minimum of 3.

Non-UK players, and anyone eligible, may purchase the bonus round directly for 100x the total stake. The Win Exchange feature is available for everyone however, also players that are unable to buy the bonus round. Whenever you land a win of 100x your stake or more, you can exchange 100x for 10 free spins. Any win between 25x and 99x can be gambled, giving you a chance to win 10 free spins.

Review Summary

Big Time Gaming lives up to their name once again, and we love how this studio is always looking to revolutionize anything they touch. They make it seem so simple, and perhaps it is, but Golden Catch has the potential to wipe Big Bass Bonanza from the coveted fishing slot throne. The more realistic, and less dated-looking, visuals are refreshing, and the whole concept of revealing cash fish underneath regular symbols is pure genius.

Many of the most popular fishing slots come with low potentials, but this is hardly the case with BTG releases.
