Frequently Asked Questions

The theoretical Return to Player percentage is 96.50% across all game modes. This RTP remains consistent whether you play the base game at normal 10x multiplier, activate the 15x Ante Bet, purchase Free Spins for 100x total bet, or purchase Super Free Spins for 300x total bet.

Land three Scatter symbols (jumping bass fish) anywhere on the three reels during a base game spin. You receive 10 base free spins, plus two additional spins for each Scatter landing on the top row and one additional spin for each Scatter on the middle row. Alternatively, purchase instant Free Spins for 100x your total bet or Super Free Spins for 300x total bet using the buttons in the left panel.

The fish symbols act as Money Symbols, displaying random cash values every spin ranging from 2x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 200x, 500x, 1666x, 2500x, up to 5,000x your total bet. During Free Spins, any Wild symbol landing on the reels collects all visible Money Symbol values, with collection multipliers increasing to 2x after the first retrigger, 3x after the second, and 10x after the third (or 20x in Super Free Spins mode).

The maximum win is capped at 5,000x your total bet. If your total win during any round reaches this 5,000x limit, the round immediately ends, you are awarded the full 5,000x amount, and all remaining free spins or features are forfeited. At the maximum bet of $375, this equals a $1,875,000 maximum payout.

The Ante Bet (labeled "Higher Chance to Win Feature") increases your bet multiplier from 10x to 15x, meaning you wager 50% more per spin. In return, more Scatter symbols appear on the reels, significantly increasing your probability of triggering the Free Spins feature naturally during base game play. When Ante Bet is active, the Buy Free Spins button is disabled.

During the Free Spins feature, every Wild symbol that lands is collected and persists for the entire round. When you collect your fourth Wild symbol, the feature retriggers: you receive 10 additional free spins and the Money Symbol collection multiplier increases to 2x. The eighth Wild collected triggers another retrigger with 3x multiplier. The twelfth Wild triggers the final retrigger with 10x multiplier (or 20x in Super Free Spins). After three retriggers, no further retriggers are possible.
