A Big Catch – HOLD & WIN Review

EXTRA FEATURES

A Big Catch is really big on big catches – and the game has a max win capacity of 3, 254x so expect some hefty catches. The game features in A Big Catch include Hold & Win, a Reset Symbol, Wilds, and a Buy Feature option.

Wilds

Wilds in the game appear on the three central reels (reel 2, 3, and 4). They can replace any icon save for Reset and BONUS.

The Reset Symbol

This is a golden shark Reset Symbol that appears in the HOLD & WIN feature. Whenever it happens to land on the grid, it collects all prizes (either prizes or bigger jackpots) and combines them into one prize, and then doubles the values of all incoming prizes that will land on the grid until the end of the round. The Multiplier can also go up if you land another Reset shark, and the maximum value for the Multiplier is 5x.

HOLD & WIN

HOLD & WIN is the titular game feature for A Big Catch. It starts with 6 or more BONUS symbols (a barrel full of fish). When it starts, you have 3 Respins where the entire grid is cleared of other icons except for BONUS symbols. The triggering symbols are locked in place on the grid, while new 3 Respins spin the rest of the grid in the hope of landing additional BONUS symbols. Besides BONUS Symbols that now carry a random prize (0.60 – 12.00 depending on triggering bet) or a bigger prize (Mini, Minor, Major). The values of the bigger prizes are 15, 30x, and 200x, respectively.

The round ends when you either fill the entire grid or run out of Respins. At the end of the round, all payouts are paid out and you get your winnings easily.

Buy Feature

You can purchase access to HOLD & WIN. If you choose to buy the feature, you will have to pay 83x for 3 HOLD & WIN respins. The bet for each spin will be the current bet you are using.

OUR EXPERIENCE WITH A BIG CATCH

Fishing is not a common theme in Betsoft’s repertoire, but A Big Catch is here to rectify that. The slot is a 5×3 slot with 243 ways to win, a high RTP (96.50%) and high variance. All good, right? It’s also a solid game in terms of payouts, as you can win up to 2,254x the stake.

The features are what makes the game so interesting. You have the HOL D & WIN feature, which is the staple of Betsoft slots now, a Buy Bonus for said feature, and Wilds. It’s not that exciting when we list them like this, but the gameplay is indeed fun and playful.

Visually, the game is also very appealing. All in all, an okay release – nothing grand, nothing terrible, just a cool slot from Betsoft perfect for the summer.
