Play King of the Catch Slot Game

Not every fishing trip comes with the promise of jackpots, but Eyecon’s King of the Catch makes an exception. This title casts its line in the waters of cartoon-style fishing, complete with a boatload of bonus mechanics and one very determined fisherman named Larry. It’s not the first angling-themed slot to hit the iGaming scene, but it does manage to stand out thanks to a few humorous touches and some nicely layered mechanics.

Beneath the cheery animations and bobbing soundtrack sits a 5x3 grid with 20 paylines. Players can cast their first spin from a minimum bet of 0.20. The mechanics revolve around wilds that come sailing in from above and a bonus round driven by golden fish and trophy collections. The game’s prize structure also includes colour-coded jackpot fish, which adds a bit of extra purpose to the reel-five fishing action.

Eyecon, known for mixing traditional layouts with quirky mechanics, has delivered a wide variety of themes over the years — from Shaman’s Dream to the toy-filled Fluffy Favourites. King of the Catch follows in their footsteps by having an approachable concept with a decent sense of humour, even if it’s not quite reinventing the reel.

Here’s how you can get started and play King of the Catch for yourself:

1. Sign in to your account at Heart Bingo.
2. Head to the online slots page.
3. Search for “King of the Catch” and click the game when it appears.
4. Once it's loaded, click on the pile of coins to find an appropriate stake size.
5. Click the Spin button to get the reels moving.

If you aren't already registered, click on the green 'Sign Up' button in the top right corner and fill in the required fields. You can then verify your account and make a deposit if you want to play King of the Catch with real funds.

The symbol lineup is made up of classic fishing imagery and playful nods to slot staples. Low-paying symbols are your expected card ranks, while the high-paying ones add a bit more character with fishing-related items and trophies. You’ll find the complete payout table below:

Special symbols include the Wild Boat, which spells out ‘WILD’ when it floats above and drops letters onto the reels. It substitutes for regular pay symbols to help form winning lines. The Golden Fish Bonus Symbol triggers the Free Spins round, and the Jackpot Fish on reel five play a role in unlocking fixed jackpots during the bonus.

Wild Boat Reels

The first feature to look out for is the Wild Boat Reels. At random, a fishing boat floats across the top of the screen and throws over letters to land on one to three reels. If the letters spell W-I-L-D, the affected reels become fully wild. This can lead to full stacks of wilds, depending on how generous Larry is feeling up top.

Championship Free Spins Bonus

Triggering the Free Spins round requires at least three Golden Fish Bonus symbols in view. The number of symbols you land determines how many free spins you’ll get:

• 3 Golden Fish = 5 Free Spins
• 4 Golden Fish = 6 Free Spins
• 5 Golden Fish = 7 Free Spins
• 6 Golden Fish = 8 Free Spins
• 7 Golden Fish = 9 Free Spins

During the bonus, the spotlight turns to reel five, where coloured Fish symbols can swim into view. Catching these contributes to one of three fixed jackpots:

• Bronze Jackpot: Catch 4 bronze fish = 50x total bet
• Silver Jackpot: Catch 6 silver fish = 100x total bet
• Gold Jackpot: Catch 8 gold fish = 500x total bet

Each time a fish potentially lands, it’s counted toward your total. Once the required number is caught, the corresponding prize is awarded.

King of the Catch comes in with its own quirky take on fishing with a few fun features built into its bonus round. If you enjoy this slot, Eyecon’s other whimsical releases like Fluffy Favourites or Prize of the Nile might be worth a spin too. Of course, both are available at Heart Bingo.
