Starlight Jackpots Captain's Catch Slot Review
You don't draw a wage on a commercial boat - the catch sells first, and then fuel, ice đ§, bait, food, gear and the boat's own cut come off that number before you get your share.
Whatever survives gets split, and a deckhand's piece is a fraction of the leftovers. You can watch a full hold of fish đ come over the rail, see it sell and still drive home with just gas money in your pocket.
Iâm hoping to make a boatload of money in Starlight Jackpots Captain's Catch slot from Novomatic, rather than a deckhandâs wages, but who knows if my luck will hold out? đ¤
Gameplay
Yeah, it's a fishing game. The reels are underwater. There are fish. Wow, how totally imaginative!
You fish a 5x3 grid and there are 243 ways to win. The bet ladder runs from $1 to $70 with no currency limits to argue about.
The RTPRTP stands for âReturn to Player.â 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 gameâs volatility rate. is 93.61% and the rating is medium volatility, which means the 4,462x max multiplier and $312,340 max win are pretty decent figures.
The Shell symbol tops the paytable at 2x for 5-of-a-kind, then 1.5x, 1x and 0.5x for 4, 3 and 2.
The Seahorse and Crab symbols share a payout row at 2x for 5-of-a-kind, then 1.4x, 0.8x and 0.4x. The Starfish and the Shrimp symbols share another at 1.4x, dropping through 1.2x, 0.8x and 0.2x.
The A symbol and the K symbol take 1.2x for 5-of-a-kind, then 1x and 0.6x with nothing for a pair. The Q symbol and the J take 1x, 0.8x and 0.4x, and the 10 symbol and the 9 scrape 0.8x, 0.6x and 0.2x.
The Wild symbol stands in for everything except the Captain Collector, Cash, Golden Fish, Octopus and Starlight Jackpots symbols.
The Cash Symbols are, of course, fish. They turn up on all the regular reels in the base game and in Free Spins, but never on the Enhanced Reels (more on the latter below).
Money in view is not money in hand until the dude with the net shows up. Land a Captain Collector symbol and all cash values are collected and awarded. In the base game he only works reels 1 and 5, and he can land more than once on a spin.
Above the grid hang the 4 jackpot tiers: Grand 1,000x, Major 200x, Minor 25x and Mini 10x.
Features
FREE SPINS:
A Golden Fish symbol landing on reel 1 or reel 5 gets thrown into a net, and each side of the dock keeps the ones they catch. Every fish added may increase the catch size and the net can burst randomly at some point.
Burst a net and you're handed 5 Free Spins. Burst both at the same moment and you get 10.
The Cash symbols keep swimming across the regular reels the way they did in the base game. An Octopus symbol landing unlocks the Enhanced Reel directly above it, and the Octopus only shows itself during Free Spins.
Captain Collectors can land up on those Enhanced Reels too. The session can be extended by a +1 Free Game symbol, landing only on Enhanced Reels you've already unlocked.
Enhanced Reels:
These open a single reel at a time, unlocked by an Octopus landing on the regular reel directly below.
The following can land there: Captain Collector, 2x Multiplier, 3x Multiplier, +1 Free Game, Mini Jackpot, Minor Jackpot, Major Jackpot and Grand Jackpot. No Cash symbols ever surface up there.
The multipliers multiply Captain Collector wins and nothing else. Land more than a single multiplier in view and they're added together before they multiply, so a 2x and a 3x in view make 5x on the sweep.
To win a jackpot, the Octopus puts a tentacle through the netting, the net falls away, and the star underneath reveals which jackpot it represents. It fills 1 of the 3 slots under that particular jackpot, and all 3 have to fill before the tier pays out.
Performance
Well, creativity certainly wasn't on the list for the game studio. At least they made sure that it runs across all devices and browsers.
Maximum Win
The max win here is $312,340, which comes off the 4,462x max multiplier at the top bet of $70. At the other end of the ladder the smallest bet is $1.
Conclusion
When the best swimming symbol returns 2x for a full 5 symbols, combinations arenât paying for your trip, and every dollar of consequence comes from the Cash symbols plus a Captain Collector arriving to sweep up every value.
Jackpots will help you make up your loot, but the Grand is less than a quarter of the max multiplierâs booty, so scoring that unicorn is only part of the job.
At 93.61% the return means the game is suited to shorter sessions, and considering thereâs no buy bonus or ante bet, it means things are gonna be challenging.
Low-bet players are the target, so anyone who needs long sessions, buy options, or crazy features should keep walking down the dock.
