About The Game

Big Game Fishing TopHit is a Video Slot with 5 reels and three rows incorporating 20 paylines. The game features 10 regular symbols that win if three or more are lined up on a payline, beginning with the leftmost reel. 

There is also a Bonus symbol that does not need to be on a payline to award a prize. In addition, if a Fisherman symbol lands fully in view on the TopHit reels, the cash prizes on any Fish symbols on the main reels are collected, added together and won.

TopHit

TopHit comprises an additional feature reel set which can help award wilds, multipliers, Free Spins and a fish catching Fisherman. When a high symbol lands fully in view on the feature reels, it turns all instances of that symbol on the main reels into Wilds. If multiple of the same high symbol land on the feature reels it also adds up to a 5x multiplier to all wins with those wilds (multiple wilds with multipliers on a single line multiply each other). 

Multipliers can be x2, x3, x4 or x5. Bonus symbols can also land on the feature reels and function exactly like Bonus symbols on the main reels. There is a Fisherman symbol which catches any cash fish on the main reels and a nudge symbol which can land on the 5th main reel and causes all partially landed symbols on the feature reels to nudge to be fully in view. 

Cash Fish prize values are based on the base bet and are displayed as cash values. They can be 0.5x, 1x, 1.5x, 2x, 2.5x, 3x, 3.5x, 4x, 4.5x, 5x, 6x, 8x, 10x, 12x, 14x, 16x, 20x, 28x, 32x, 36x, 40x, 48x, 60x or 200x the base bet.

Free Spins

Landing 3 or more Bonus symbols in the base game triggers Free Spins. A maximum of 20 Free Spins can be awarded. Free Spins are played with the same bet and lines as the base game that triggered them. All Wilds awarded from the TopHit reels are collected in Free Spins. Landing a Bonus symbol during Free Spins adds 1 additional Free Spin. Landing 6 or more of the same high symbol on the TopHit reels awards an additional Free Spin for each extra symbol. 

Each time a Fisherman lands fully on the TopHit reels, any fish present on the main reels are caught and their associated cash prizes collected. A fish prize multiplier is increased by 1 after any fisherman lands which is applied to any fish caught by subsequent fishermen. The maximum that the Fisherman multiplier can reach is X28 over 48 billion games. 

The multipliers can build up with each spin of Free Spins and if any multiplier reaches 5, any further matching symbols on the TopHit reels add an extra Free Spin instead. 

During Free Spin session when high paying symbols are transformed into wild and when it reaches the maximum wild multiplier i.e. x5, and if a new symbol appears it is also collected, but the wild multiplier range does not increase, instead the collected symbol is added as 1 additional Free Spin to the ongoing Free Spins session.

Free Spins Gamble

The Free Spins Gamble is triggered when 3 or more Bonus symbols land in view during the base game. The player is offered the choice of collecting their current Free Spins or gambling for more in an ‘all or nothing’ gamble. Choosing to gamble results in a pointer spinning. It can end up pointing to either green or red. Green is a win and steps the player up to the next level of Free Spins. Red is a lose and ends the game round with no Free Spins. 

The gamble ends when the top level is reached, the player collects or a lose results. The odds of winning the different levels of Free Spin gamble are displayed below. If 10 Bonus symbols land in view, the gamble is by-passed and the maximum number of Free Spins are awarded.

When entering a Free Spins session, players can gamble for more Free Spins (unless they already have 20 Free Spins). The chances of winning a Free Spins gamble with Golden bet (if available) OFF.

How to Play

How to Calculate Payline Wins

• To calculate your total payline win, calculate all payline wins and add them together.
• To calculate a single payline win, count the number of identical symbols lined up in sequence on the line starting from the left most reel.
• If three or more identical symbols are lined up, find the win value in the dynamic Pay Table. There you can find the value for all symbols for 3 in a row, 4 in a row and 5 in a row. Only the highest winning combination per line is paid out.
• Cash Fish prizes are paid when a Fisherman lands on the TopHit reels and Cash Fish symbols on the main reels. Each fish has an associated cash prize. These are totalled together and added to any standard reel wins.
• Any winning lines you have will be highlighted and your winnings will be credited to your winnings panel.
• At the start of the Bonus round, all wins achieved from the reels are added to the Bonus at the start.
• If the winning combination starts with three wilds, there can be many ways to interpret the win. In this scenario, only the highest win combination is paid out.
