Wild Catch
The wombats says: Ever wanted fancied a spot of angling, but simply couldn’t be arsed to leave your sofa? Then Wombat Fans, we have the perfect slot for you; check out this fishing-themed slot from Microgaming- those designers behind the Santa’s Wild Ride slot. Wild Catch takes the perfect fishing trip and adds some big chunky payouts to it so there really is no need at all to get your fishing rods out and pack your tupperware full of bait. Instead you can cast your nets for the massive jackpots on offer, all with your feet up over a nice cup of tea. After all, there’s no plaice like home.
Had enough of the fishing puns yet? We’ve only just started… Heh heh. When we first heard about Wild Catch we immediately thought of the Ladies Nite slot, also from Microgaming, but then we quickly realised it wasn’t that kind of catch.
Game Play
Wild Catch slot from Microgaming has 5 reels and 3 row and uses their signature ‘243 ways to win’ feature. ‘But what does that actually mean?’ I hear you ask. Basically, that you don’t need to worry about pay-lines like in some of their earlier games. Simply line up matching symbols anywhere on the reels from left to right and you’ll scoop a win. Hurrah! Some of their games have even more, like the Secret Santa slot that has 1024 Ways to Win (it’s got 4 rows of 5 reels).
Your symbols on the reels include a big weighing scale, the fishing boat, a weird-looking squid thingy and a fishing trophy as your high paying symbols, plus the usual playing cards 9, 10, J, Q, K & A symbols that will pay out some smaller wins.
Wild Feature
The Swordfish icon will act as the Wild in this game and other than substituting for all other symbols in the reels, it will also dish you out some mini free spins when you spot it. The Wild feature becomes active if you land 3x or more of the Swordfish Wilds on the same spin. Any extra Wilds that lands on the reels during the bonus round will dish you out yet another free spin, and at the end of your go, and all your wins will be tripled too! Are you squidding? Water you think about that Wombat Fans? Sorry.
Free Spins with Increasing Wilds
The Fisherman in the Lifebuoy symbol is the Scatter in Wild Catch slot, and this cheerful-looking dude will ensure you catch some whopping Free Spins. Reel in 3x of the fishy icons and you’ll be given 10 extra goes. Land 4x or 5x scatters and you can win 15 or even 20 free spins. Nice one Microgaming!
Sadly there is no multiplier on offer in this round, but with every winning spin the Wild will increase the value of multiplier, and if you are very fortunate you could get up to a 10x multiplier by the end of the round.
Conclusion
This slot might not win any awards for its graphics which are a bit on the tame side if we are honest (although we do like that fishy animation), BUT it does have 2 very decent Bonus Features which is a big plus – both of which are pretty easy to trigger and lucrative to boot. Give it a spin Wombat Fans and see if you can’t reel in a big one! That’s offishally the end of the puns…
Wombat score: 4/5

Who’d have ever thought that Microgaming would ever develop an online slot, where the primary theme would be about catching fish? Well, believe it or not.
Here it is! Wild Catch is exactly that. In the foreground is a boat, and the reels represent what lies underneath the water. The basic premise is that you are casting off; trying to obtain what would be some very welcome treasure from beneath the waves. Wild Catch is certainly original, when it comes to its theme.
Based on the adventurous life of fishing/angling, the theme of the game is fun and the thrill of catching a good fish will be the last thing on your mind when hitting one of the pretty massive wins available in this game.
The symbols on your reel will be therefore a Marlin, an Angler, a boat and more images under the same theme. Even though personally I find this unimaginative on Microgaming’s side, the standard symbols are as in most pokies, the 9, 10, J, Q, K and A.

How to play Wild Catch online
Wild Catch is one of Microgaming’s 243 ways to win slots, so players cannot set up their bet on a wager per line basis.
However, they can choose their coin values and the amount of coins that they wish to stake per spin. Coin values start out at just £0.01, and can go as high as £0.50 if they wish. Up to 10 coins per spin can be staked by the player. The cheapest stake available in the Wild Catch slot is just £0.30 per spin. The most expensive wager will set a player back a whopping £150 per spin.
The high playing card icons represent the lowest paying symbols in this slot game. For those icons, you can win anything from 25 coins up to 500 coins, which is pretty decent going!
The most profitable icons are the weight icon, the giant squid, the fishing trawler, and the golden trophy for landing the biggest catch. The trophy icon could see you land 5,000 coins, if you match 5 symbols on any payline.
The Wild Catch scatter
Wild Catch uses a fisherman (and a lifesaver) as a scatter symbol. When the scatter appears 3 times or more, you will trigger free games. The scatter icon is also responsible for the largest pay-outs in this online slot game.
Landing 3, 4 or 5 of the scatter icons anywhere on the reels, will trigger 10, 15 or 20 free spins, respectively. During the free games round, players can acquire multipliers of up to 10x, by winning with wild icons. The free spins round can be retriggered during the free games round.
The wild symbol
Wild Catch Slot Machines
The blue marlin is the wild icon in this game. If the player lands 3 or more of the wilds, they will trigger 5 free games, with all wins multiplied by 3x.
During the wild feature free games round, an additional free spin is added for every wild found on the reels. The wild icon substitutes itself for every other icon in the game, barring the scatter symbol. It only appears though, on the second, third and fourth reels.
The Wild Catch jackpot
The largest win that a player can possible acquire is 7,500 coins. This is done by matching 5 scatter symbols anywhere on the reels.
The jackpot in the Wild Catch slot is a non-progressive one. Without the scatter icons, the player can still win 5,000 coins by matching up 5 of the golden trophy icons on a payline.
Other notes on Wild Catch
As far as theme goes, Microgaming’s Wild Catch is a pretty original title. Not many developers would be brave enough to create such a title, and make it a 243 ways to win feature.
It is also a very nice touch to have two ways to land free spin games. So, all summed up; what you have here is a slot that offers you two ways to trigger free spins, a pretty fair jackpot, and it can be played for moderately cheap stakes. What’s not to like about that?
