Nice Catch DoubleMax

Nice Catch DoubleMax Review

The number of fishing slots being released has grown recently. The DoubleMax system can be a bit confusing at first, but it requires getting fish prize symbols on consecutive reels from left to right. You need the Fisherman to collect the prizes, which can lead to solid payouts in all stages. The default multiplier can be upgraded in the bonus round, and it doubles per Fisherman you land. The 23,972.80x potential is high for this genre.

Nice Catch DoubleMax Slot Features

You can turn on the Golden Bet between base game spins, paying 50% more per spin. This increases your bonus round chances. The premium symbols pay between 1 and 8 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and you can also land cash fish.

You need the Fisherman symbol on reel 5 to reel in the cash fish prizes, ranging from 1x to 100x your stake. You can only land 1 Fisherman Collect symbol at a time. Landing fish symbols on consecutive reels from left to right activates the DoubleMax Multiplier feature.

The DoubleMax multiplier starts at x2, and increases to x4, x8, x16, x32, x64, x128, and x256. While only cash fish symbols activate the DoubleMax Multiplier feature, the multiplier boosts all wins on the current spin, including regular line wins.

You win 8, 11, or 14 free spins from 3, 4, or 5 scatters, and you can gamble for more spins before the Bonus Round starts, risking losing the whole feature.

Landing the Fisherman awards +1 extra spin and doubles the default win multiplier. You can still get a higher multiplier via the fish symbols, but it will reset to your achieved default.

The Bonus Buy menu may be available in some regions. If eligible, you can purchase the bonus round for 100x the stake, guaranteeing at least 3 triggering scatters. Alternatively, you can pay 500x the stake to get 5 triggering scatters, for 14 free spins.

The 200 Spins Nice Catch DoubleMax Slot Experience

You get to see the base game in action briefly, before the bonus round is triggered. You'll see some decent multiplier-boosted fish prize wins.

Review Summary

The fishing slot genre is competitive. It’s hard to tell how Nice Catch DoubleMax will be received, but it offers a unique angle. The multiplier can double up to a high level in all stages, but you need fish symbols on consecutive reels to progress in the base game.

It’s frustrating when you land fish prizes and the Fisherman isn't present. He doesn’t always appear often in the bonus round, making it hard to elevate the default DoubleMax Multiplier. The 23,972.80x potential is a good selling point, but other fishing slots offer solid max wins as well. Overall, the Double Max system is a bit clumsy, and hopefully this is improved in future releases.
