18+ Only. Play Responsibly.
The fisherman collected three fish without casting the rod.
They were already sitting across the first three reels.
One carried €2.
Another had €4 printed on it.
The third was worth €3.
Then the Fisherman landed with x2 beside his face.
All three Fish Cash symbols disappeared.
€18.
The lake had apparently removed bait, patience and most of fishing from the fishing process.
Fortune Bass Hot Pot Collector 100,000 had replaced them with fish that arrived wearing prices.
I had €183 and was playing at €1.
The water was calm.
Mountains sat in the distance.
The reels floated underwater among coral, bubbles and fishing equipment.
There was a Golden Bass.
A weight.
A float.
A rod.
An Anchor Wild.
The actual Fisherman appeared inside a circular symbol looking considerably more muscular than seemed necessary for collecting fish that had already labelled themselves.
The Hot Pot sat off to the side.
At first it was barely warmed.
A Scatter Coin landed.
The pot moved.
A few spins later, the Golden Rod appeared.
It expanded to fill its entire reel.
The Hot Pot moved again.
That became the second thing I started watching.
First: were there enough Fish Cash symbols from the left to give the Fisherman something to collect?
Second: had somebody added anything else to the pot?
The connection between bass fishing and maintaining a persistent cooking vessel was never questioned by anyone on screen.
The fisherman caught them.
The pot waited.
A Mystery Pearl appeared.
It opened before the win was settled.
Scatter.
The Hot Pot advanced.
The pearl had gone into the ocean as shellfish and come back as cookware fuel.
Fine.
A few ordinary wins kept the damage controlled.
Golden Bass paid €7.
The Anchor Wild helped a line reach €5.
Another Fish Cash sequence stretched across reels one through three.
The values were €1, €2 and €5.
Fisherman.
x1 this time.
€8.
He collected the lot.
No visible struggle.
No net.
The fish simply ceased to exist near him.
That was probably why he had time to maintain the pot.
The balance moved through €160.
Then €149.
More Scatters arrived.
Another Expanding Wild filled a reel.
The Hot Pot kept climbing.
At one point I looked at the higher stake buttons.
The pot had its own progress for the €1 bet.
Moving away now meant leaving a nearly boiling fishing pot behind and starting with a colder one somewhere else.
I stayed at €1.
The fisherman had already spent too long heating dinner.
The next Scatter pushed the Hot Pot to full.
It glowed.
That did not immediately open the bonus.
Now a new Scatter or Expanding Wild could launch it.
Could.
The first Scatter after full landed on reel four.
The pot flashed.
Nothing opened.
Next qualifying symbol was another Scatter.
Again, no bonus.
The pot was completely full and had entered the stage where additional ingredients merely asked permission.
A Golden Rod arrived several spins later.
It stretched from top to bottom across reel two.
The Hot Pot lit.
This time the lake changed.
Bonus Game.
The cards appeared in an arc over the reels.
I clicked.
One turned.
Reel & Deal.
Then came another card.
Boost.
Five extra Free Spins.
The feature began with ten.
The Fisherman returned.
First spin brought two Fish Cash symbols, €2 and €3, plus the Collector.
He gathered both.
€5.
The next spin gave him €1, €4 and €2.
Collected.
His multiplier was still at the opening level.
The third spin produced Fish Cash but no Fisherman.
Three perfectly priced fish floated around the reels with nobody prepared to remove them.
Then the Collector landed again.
Sweep.
The money disappeared into him.
Fourth Collector came a couple of spins later.
That mattered.
The progress meter moved.
Ten more Free Spins were added.
The Fisherman multiplier stepped up.
The original ten spins had just discovered another ten hiding underneath a man with a beard.
Reel & Deal had become less of a bonus duration and more of a fishing trip that kept refusing to pack up.
At x2, the next collection was better.
Fish Cash values of €2, €5 and €3 appeared.
The Fisherman arrived.
€20.
Now the mechanics were finally starting to match his arms.
Another spin gave only one small Fish Cash value.
He collected it anyway.
A fisherman capable of multiplying €1 by two was still apparently unwilling to throw anything back.
Then several Fish Cash symbols landed with the Collector.
Enough of them.
The Bomb Feature hit.
Ordinary symbols were still sitting across parts of the reels.
They did not remain ordinary.
The screen flashed.
A Q became Fish Cash.
A fishing weight became Fish Cash.
A card symbol elsewhere changed too.
The fisherman had apparently reached the stage of the trip where insufficient fish could be solved with explosives.
The new Fish Cash values joined the ones already visible.
Then he collected everything on the same spin.
€2.
€4.
€3.
€1.
€6.
x2 across the haul.
That became the best collect so far.
The reels returned.
The ocean continued looking peaceful.
Nothing in the background acknowledged that several non-fish objects had just been converted into fish using a Bomb.
More Collectors arrived.
The progress meter crept toward the next step.
One Fisherman landed with only a €2 Fish Cash symbol.
x2.
€4.
Another came with four values and produced €24.
The free-spin counter had stopped feeling urgent.
There were still plenty left from the first extension.
Then Epic Fortune activated.
The multiplier ladder changed.
Every tier moved upward.
The Fisherman had already been collecting cash-fish quite efficiently.
Now the entire future of his multiplication had been upgraded.
He remained inside the same circular portrait.
Same folded arms.
The ocean had altered the mathematical structure of his career and he did not change expression.
The next Collector came in at the stronger level.
Three Fish Cash symbols.
€1, €3 and €5.
The upgraded multiplier turned them into a much better catch.
Then another Collector.
And another.
The eighth arrived with seven spins still showing.
The meter advanced again.
Ten more Free Spins.
The Collector multiplier strengthened again.
This bonus had now added twenty extra spins because the same fisherman kept turning up for work.
At this point the session should have become enormous.
The multiplier was strong.
Epic Fortune was active.
The counter had been extended twice.
Fish Cash symbols kept appearing.
Instead, the lake became extremely committed to small fish.
€1.
€2.
€1.
Collector.
Multiply.
Another screen offered €3 and €2.
Collected.
A lone €1 Fish Cash landed with the Fisherman at a multiplier that deserved considerably more ambitious seafood.
He took it.
There was no minimum size requirement in this lake.
A Mystery Pearl appeared during one spin and revealed a regular symbol.
No extra Scatter drama.
No new Hot Pot.
The bonus remained entirely focused on fishing.
Another possible Bomb setup nearly formed, but only two Fish Cash symbols accompanied the Collector.
No explosion.
He collected the pair normally.
The feature still paid regularly.
It simply refused to produce the one dense screen that would make the upgraded multiplier dangerous.
With twelve spins left, the Fisherman collected four Fish Cash symbols for a useful hit.
Then came two empty-ish spins.
Another small collection.
The multiplier was doing far more work than the fish.
The ninth Collector arrived.
Then the tenth.
Eleventh.
The next milestone needed another.
The feature had time.
The twelfth never came.
Instead, one spin landed Fish Cash without the man.
Another landed the man with one €1 fish.
The final few reels drifted through anchors, Golden Bass and card symbols.
Epic Fortune remained active all the way to the end, magnificently upgrading a multiplier structure that the lake was now feeding with pocket change.
Final Free Spin.
Two Fish Cash symbols.
€2 and €3.
Fisherman.
Collected.
The bonus finished a little above €70.
Long.
Active.
Two ten-spin extensions.
Bomb Feature.
Epic Fortune.
A stronger Fisherman multiplier.
And still mostly a repair job.
The session had recovered almost everything the long Hot Pot build had consumed.
Almost.
Back in the base game, the Hot Pot was empty again.
All that persistent progress had been boiled away by the bonus.
I stayed at €1.
A few ordinary spins followed.
Anchor Wild.
A small Golden Bass line.
One Fish Cash without enough consecutive reels.
Then the Golden Rod landed.
It expanded over an entire reel.
The freshly reset Hot Pot moved up its first step.
The fisherman remained nearby.
The lake was calm.
The pot had already started heating again.
Apparently nobody was waiting to find out whether the previous batch had been worth cooking.
