Free Spins: To trigger Free Spins, three or more Bonus symbols need to land anywhere on the reels. You'll receive 10, 15, or 20 free spins for 3, 4, or 5 Scatters. During this round, each Fisherman Wild symbol collects the cash value of any Crustacean symbols visible on the screen. There are various Crustaceans, each with values ranging from 1x to 50x the bet. When a Golden Fisherman Wild collects them, these values receive an x10 multiplier. Additionally, for every 4 Wild symbols you collect, the lowest paying Crustacean upgrades to the next level, and you're rewarded with 5 extra free spins.

Lightning Spins: If 6 or more Crustacean symbols land, it'll activate the Lightning Spins feature, which begins with 3 initial spins. The Crustaceans that triggered this feature lock in place, while other positions on the reels may land more Crustaceans, Fisherman symbols, or valueless symbols. Each time a new Crustacean symbol appears, it resets the spin count. Keep an eye out for Crustaceans displaying Mini, Minor, Major, or Mega Cashpot, as they are worth 10x, 25x, 100x, or 2,000x the bet. Regular Fisherman symbols, when they land, stick, and collect all cash values visible.
