Net Gains Bonus Features
Cascade Feature
When a winning combination is produced by combining identical symbols, those symbols will burst and disappear, making room for new symbols to fall into their places and increasing the player's chances of winning.
Mystery Symbol
There are 3 types of Mystery Symbols:
- Regular Mystery Symbol. There is only one kind of symbol contained inside each mysterious symbol that has been landed.
- Octopus Mystery Symbol. Transforms the randomly chosen symbol type into Mystery Symbols.
- Bomb Mystery Symbol. Performs the same function as a typical Mystery Symbol, but it also wipes out any symbols that are not Mystery Symbols once the total number of wins has been tallied.
If two Mystery Symbols are previously acquired, one Mystery Symbol may display a Bonus Symbol
Free Spins
When you collect 3 bonus symbols, you activate free spins of the game. You will have a choice between 8 Free Spins in Coin Collection, 5 Free Spins in Sticky Mystery or 7 Free Spins in Stacked Wild. At the beginning of any of the Free Spins modes, there is a random chance of activating Hot Mode. When playing in Hot Mode, there is a much enhanced potential for large wins. If you get a symbol that says Extra Spins, you get 2 more spins added to your total.
- Coin Collection. Coins of gold, silver, and bronze may be obtained by opening collection chests that have landed on a spot or by opening the persistent collection chest. The values of coin symbols are next: Bronze: 1-40x the bet, Silver: 3-100x the bet, Gold: 10-2500x the bet.
Increase the coin values, and if you fill up the coin meter, you'll earn an extra spin. The meter will advance by one step for every coin that successfully lands on the reel. When you land on a persistent chest, you are rewarded with 5 more spins. The gamblers could get fortunate and experience a "coin shower," which is when 10 coins of the same sort fall into the reel all at once.
When a player gets a Collector symbol, it eliminates all of the coin symbols that are currently on the reels and gives them the total worth of those coins. On future cascades, more coins have a chance of falling, and those coins will also be gathered. There is a unique variation of the Collector symbol that may appear, and that variant is known as the Persistent Collector. This operates in the same manner that a typical Collector would, except that it will drop to the base of its reel, where it will remain in place for the duration of any remaining Free Spins, and it will gather any coins that appear during those spins. When you land a Persistent Collector, you will get 5 more spins. There is a maximum of one Collector that may appear during any given spin. When there are 4 or more coins on the screen at the same time and there are no Collectors present, all of the coins are removed from play and the total of their values is recorded on the side of the screen.In the event that a collector lands in a later cascade, the player receives the amount that was previously saved. Each coin that successfully landed contributes +1 point to the meter. This occurs whether or not the coin is collected. The advancement of the meter, which can be seen on the coin symbols located adjacent to the reels, determines the range of possibilities that the various coin kinds will have in a single spin. When the meter hits 10, one additional spin is added to the player', and the ranges for each of the coin levels are raised. After you have completed 5 collections, the ranges will not rise any more, but you will still get one additional spin for each completion.
- Stacked Wilds. There are two different wild symbols that might appear on the reels. Countdown Wilds always begin with a number of 3, however Multiplier Wilds might have a multiplier that ranges from 2x to 5x attached to them. The countdown wilds lose one point from their total whenever they are used in a winning combination. They are eliminated from play once the counter reaches 1 they are a part of a winning combination.
- Sticky Mystery. During the course of the Free Spins, mystery symbols appear more often and remain in place. By filling up the Mystery Meter, you will get Sticky Mystery Symbols as well as an additional spin. After each win, the meter will advance by one step. Take note that Mystery Symbols may only appear on reels 2 through 6 at any one time.
Special Bet Feature
When players enable the Special Bet feature, their chances of activating Free Spins are increased by 82%, but the cost of doing so is increased by 20%.
Buy Bonus
You can trigger the Free Spins from the main game right away for the cost of 100x the bet.
Our Experience Playing Net Gains
When we launched the game, we were welcomed by comics-like reelsets and a soundtrack that was beautifully produced and not too overbearing. We anticipated to witness some exciting action when we were playing this slot machine since it boasts a wide variety of bonus features and a high degree of volatility. We strayed from our standard approach of making a deposit of 200 Euros, adjusting the stake to 1 Euro, and playing the slot machine for 300 times in order to examine the behavior of this video slot in terms of the rewards it offers. Instead, we placed a stake of one Euro and turned on the Special Bet Feature with the expectation that this would result in the activation of more Free Spins bonus rounds. The first hundred spins did not bring us the much coveted Free Spins Bonus round, and any substantial wins. The maximum payouts during it was around 8x the bet. As a result of the first try, we lost around 90 Euros. This was this slot’s high volatility in its full glory… During the next one hundred spins, we were fortunate enough to activate the Free Spins feature. We selected the Coin Collection option, and the game rewarded us with a sum that was generously equivalent to 120 times our original wager. In addition to the bonus round win, we managed to win a couple of decent sums during the main game ranging from 10-20x the bet and it allowed us to be 21 Euros ahead. During our final one hundred spins, we were lucky enough to once again activate the Free Spins bonus round twice. We went for the Coin Collection feature again, and it awarded 36 and 127 our original wager. Not bad at all… Overall, after 300 spins, we won 98 Euros and were pretty happy with how things turned out for us
Net Gains Verdict
This slot has all the chances to compete with other fishing-themed slots out there thanks to its pretty exciting gameplay and decent payouts during the Free Spins bonus features. Not a lot happens during the main game in terms of payouts, but when you finally trigger those Free Spins, things become a lot better. We strongly advise you to make use of the Special Bet Feature whenever you play the game since the majority of the game's earnings come from the bonus rounds. Good luck and have fun!
