Come and have a fish with the Reel Strike Video Slot created by Microgaming. It is a 5 reel with 15 paylines game. It also has a wild symbol, scatter symbol, bonus game, free spins, multiplier and a maximum jackpot win of $50 000.

The fishing and boating theme is portrayed by utilizing symbols like a fishing rod reel, a boat, a propeller, boat accelerator along with different types of fish. The paytable colours are vibrant and fresh to create the freshness of sea breeze and the ocean with a lot of blues, although the background colour of the reels are white.

The coin bet range is from $0.01 up to $0.50 making the betting range from $0.01 up to $75 per spin, which is not too bad when taking into consideration the whopping $50 000 maximum jackpot.

Wild Symbol:

The Reel is the wild symbol and will substitute for all symbols except for the scatter to complete a winning combination. The wild actually substitutes for the bonus symbol which gives an added benefit to all players. It’s not everyday a slot allows the wild to substitute for the bonus symbol, except for when 5 wild symbols appear.

Scatter Symbol:

The sunset scatter symbol with the shadow of the fish does not have to land on an enabled payline to pay out. It can land anywhere on the reels as long as a minimum of 3 symbols appear. Scatter wins will be added to payline wins and is multiplied by the total number of credits initially staked.

Bonus Feature:

5 Bonus Propeller symbols on an active payline will trigger the bonus feature. 5 symbols may seem like a lot to achieve for the feature but the symbols come quite often. In the bonus round you will be asked to choose a boat from the six which will appear on your screen. Your first choice will reveal the number of free spins you get awarded. You will then be taken to another screen and you will have to pick a boat again to reveal your multiplier.

Free Spins Feature:

You will have the chance at winning up to 7 free spins and up to an x6 multiplier. If you do not win from a payline combination during the free spins, Reel Strike will still reward you for the feature. How good is that? This slot is a very generous one indeed. All bets and lines will be played at the same triggering bet and line amount during the free spins. The free spins feature cannot be re- triggered.

Overall this slot is not just for the fishermen out there, it is a whole new experience without getting your hands dirty with bait.
