Monster Catch

Monster Catch is a fishing-themed slot developed by Light & Wonder, featuring a retro-style design with an underwater backdrop. The game is played on a 5-reel grid with 3 rows in the base game, expanding to 6 rows during the free spins feature. The number of paylines varies from 10 in the base game to 20 when all 6 rows are active.

The symbols in Monster Catch include low-paying card ranks 10-A, as well as higher-value symbols such as anchors, floats, worms, and seagulls. The game also features fish symbols of various sizes (small, medium, large, and XL) that carry cash values ranging from 2x to 50x the bet.

Bonus features in Monster Catch include:

• Free Spins: Triggered by landing 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols, awarding 10, 15, or 20 free spins respectively. During this feature, the Mighty Reels mechanic is introduced, potentially expanding the grid to 6 rows high.
• Fisherman and Gold Fisherman: These symbols act as wilds during the free spins and can collect the cash values of fish symbols on the reels.
• Mighty Reels: Activated when a Gold Fisherman lands during free spins, opening up the upper 3 rows and awarding 2 additional free spins.
• Gamble Feature: Triggered after wins of 5x the stake or higher, allowing players to gamble their winnings or try for entry into the free spins round.
• Premium Play: An optional feature that increases the bet by 50% and provides access to a Bonus Wheel with multipliers and free spins when certain conditions are met.

The game's low volatility and relatively modest maximum win of 736x the stake make it suitable for players who prefer frequent, smaller wins over high-risk, high-reward gameplay. An interesting aspect of Monster Catch is its Premium Play feature, which adds an extra layer of excitement and potential rewards for players willing to increase their stake.
