The Greatest Catch Slot by Evoplay

A sleepy fisherman sits in his wooden boat above the waterline while the 5x3 grid plays out below the surface. The background splits the scene into a sunlit pond on top and a murky underwater world underneath, with seaweed, rocks, and drifting plants framing the reels. Fish symbols on the grid carry random values - 2x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, or the big 2,000x your bet.

Wild symbols exist only inside free spins. When a Wild and at least one Fish symbol land on the same spin, the Fishing feature kicks in - each Wild scoops up every Fish value on screen. The collection multiplier scales with Wild milestones: after four total Wilds have appeared, you get 10 extra spins at 2x. Four more push the multiplier to 3x, and the final batch runs at 10x. A single Wild collecting several Fish at the 10x tier is how the 10,000x cap gets reached.

Dynamite covers the dead spots. If a Wild lands during free spins but no Fish symbols show up alongside it, 3 to 6 regular symbols explode and turn into Fish with random values. It keeps the collector mechanic alive even on otherwise empty spins.

This is the original version of The Greatest Catch series - same mechanics, same 10,000x ceiling, but no bonus purchase option. Free spins trigger through 3, 4, or 5 Scatters for 10, 15, or 20 spins respectively.
