More Unusual Catch Slot Review

Have you ever gone fishing and reeled in a rubber duck, an old boot, a soggy half-eaten sandwich, or a signed photo of Nick Cage? I haven't; I don't fishšŸŽ£.

You spend hours battling the elements, wrestling with tangled lines, and praying for a nibble, only to end up with a sunburn and a cooler full of disappointmentšŸ˜•.

From the state of the environment and the ocean, fishing is like a garage sale at the bottom of the sea these days, anyway. Much like gambling, fishing is a sport of luck. Sometimes you win, sometimes you losešŸ¤·.

Unless, maybe, your luck holds up in More Unusual Catch slot from Quickfire.

Gameplay

The More Unusual Catch slot has 5 reels separated by fishing lines floating underwater, with fish swimming around in the background. Each reel holds 4 symbols, and there are 20 pay lines to land winning combinations on.

The high symbols include a rubber duck, a cap and shades, a fishing lure, and a pair of beer bottles.

There are 3 Wild symbols: a mounted purple fish, which we'll call the Purple Wild; a blue mounted fish, which we'll just call a Wild; and the Angler Wild, depicted by this game's fisherman character.

All can substitute for regular pay symbols apart from the Angler Wild and Scatter symbols.
When a Purple Wild hits, it spawns additional Wilds or a Purple Wild that land in random positions. Each Wild that lands on the reels leaves behind a frame with a 1x Multiplier value.

If another Wild lands in a framed position, the multiplier increases by 1x up to 5x. The frames and their multipliers come into play when an Angler Wild hits, triggering the Angler Wild Bonus.

Scatters are golden fish symbols that only appear in the base game. Landing 3 or more triggers a round of Free Spins.

You can only play this game with fiat currencies except the yen and ruble. You can bet as little as $0.20 or as much as $15. The highest possible win you can land is 5,683.4x or $85,250.70 if you're wagering the biggest bet.

Before we get into the features, this game has medium volatility and boasts a 96.06% RTPRTP stands for ā€œReturn to Player.ā€ The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a gameā€™s volatility rate..

Features

BONUS PERK BAR

Above the reels is a progress bar, which you fill incrementally whenever 2 Scatter symbols land at once. When you fill the bar, you get an extra Bonus Perk Pick when you enter Free Spins. The bar resets after being completed and used in a Free Spins round.

Your progress is also tied to your bet level; changing your bet will mean starting again. But don't worry. If you return to a previous bet level, your progress is saved so you can continue collecting scatters.

NUDGING RE-SPINS

You'll trigger this feature if you land 2 Scatter symbols on the top 3 rows. The reels containing Scatters are held, and the Scatters will nudge down 1 position while the rest of the reels Re-spin.

This continues until the Scatters reach the bottom row, or you land 5 Scatters.

ANGLER WILD BONUS

When an Angler Wild lands, it adds Wild symbols to all the framed positions, hopefully resulting in a win or multiple payline wins.

In the base game, the frames are removed from the reels once wins are awarded and the feature ends. During Free Spins, however, the frames persist until the end of the Free Spins.

BONUS PERK PICK

When you trigger Free Spins, you're taken to a new screen to play the Bonus Perk Pick. You need to click on 5 fish to reveal the Perks you'll have during Free Spins.

  • Boost Perk: This eel symbol unlocks the first Big Bass on the Bonus trail, awarding 5 extra Free Spins with 2x Win Multiplier.

  • +2 Perk: This awards 2 additional Free Spins.

  • +Frames Perk: This 3-Frame symbol adds a random number of Frames onto the reels

  • +Wilds Perk: Increases the number of Wilds that appear during Free Spins.

  • +Angler Wilds Perk: Adds more Angler Wilds during Free Spins.

  • X: This big red X symbol ends the Perk Pick Bonus, and you start Free Spins.
    You're awarded an additional pick if you fill the Bonus Perk Bar in the base game.

FREE SPINS

Landing 3, 4, or 5 Scatter symbols will award 10, 15, or 20 Free Spins. Any framed positions will carry over into Free Spins.

Whenever an Angler Wild lands, it progresses to 1 position on the Free Spins trail. Collecting 5 Angler Wilds will get you to a Big Bass milestone, and you're awarded 5 additional Free Spins with a Win Multiplier.

The Win Multipliers increase from 1x to 2x, 3x, 5x, and 10x for each milestone reached.

At the end of Free Spins, there is a chance you can win 1 additional Bonus Fishing Spin, where an Angler Wild is guaranteed to land, triggering the Angler Wild Bonus if there are framed positions on the reels.

The Free Spins trail resets at the end of the feature.

JACKPOTS

During the base game and Free Spins, symbols randomly land with a Tacklebox overlay. Collecting these overlays can randomly trigger the Tacklebox Jackpot Bonus.

When this feature triggers, you're taken to a new screen with 12 Tackleboxes containing the Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand Jackpots. You can pick boxes until you reveal 3 matching Jackpots to win it.

  • The Mini Jackpot awards 20x your bet.
  • The Minor Jackpot awards 75x your bet.
  • The Major Jackpot awards 1,000x your bet.
  • The Grand Jackpot awards 5,000x your bet.

BUY BONUS

You can buy your way into Free Spins for 100x your bet. A random number of Scatters will appear on the reels on the very next base game spin. Any Sticky Frames and Bonus Perk Bonus Meter progress are not used when you buy Free Spins.

Performance

During my playthrough, I encountered no issues loading or playing this game on my Android phone or gaming laptop.

Maximum Win

The most you can win in this game is $85,250.70 or 5,683.4x the highest bet in the range. The bets range from $0.20 to $15.

Conclusion

This game is strikingly familiar to Pragmatic Play's Big Bass series.

They're both fishing-themed games. They also offer Free Spins with a progress bar to award additional Free Spins and higher Win Multipliers when you reach the milestones. The feature pick can spice up the Free Spins rounds more than Big Bass.

But ultimately, as much as I prefer this game, the top win is what it's all about. The Big Bass symbols usually offer maximum multipliers in the 10,000x range.

More Unusual Catch slot looks like a cooler version of Big Bass games. The fisherman in this game looks like a badass in a cap and dark shades. The fisherman in Big Bass looks like a bearded dork.
