Graphics

Visually, the graphics are bright and colourful, with no fancy bells and whistles. The artwork is simple but well designed and it suits the game down to the ground.

The reels are submerged underwater, and the surface peeps out just above the top of the reels, with boats bobbing about. In the distance, you can see a traditional seaside town with a Ferris wheel, a pier and a few high-rise buildings.

By the sound of that music, we are in Ireland somewhere. Cork, maybe? That’s a good fishing town.

The symbols are sea and fishing themed, with a Red Buoy, a Fishing Reel, a Lobster Pot, a Sea Gull, the Fishing Boat Scatter and Catch Symbols with different fish plus a Golden Lobster.

The layout is a standard five reels and three rows. Above the reels are boats that play an essential part in the base game and the feature: more on that later.

The only symbol noticeably missing is a Wild symbol. However, the fish and catch symbols are where all the fun happens and can make the game very interesting.

Boat Bonanza Slot Game Play

Boat Bonanza slot is a five-reel, three-row game with twelve pay lines. The minimum bet is 0.20 coins and up to a maximum of 50.00 per spin. This is a high-volatility slot, and there is a maximum win of 5000 times your bet on any spin.

The higher paying symbols are all themed on the sea:  land five matching symbols on an active pay line and you’ll trigger a win between 50x and 200x your bet. Lower-paying symbols are the usual deck of playing cards: A, K, J, and Q.

The highest-paying symbols are the Catch Symbols (fish and lobsters). Land the Golden Lobster in the Mega Catch to win 1000 times your bet. Five Catch Symbols on a pay-line will trigger a 40 times your wager win.

Bonus Features

Although Boat Bonanza only has a couple of features, you can win up to 5000 times your stake, which is what makes this game so popular. And even if you don’t, the game is great entertainment.

Catch Symbols

Catch symbols appear across all the reels, and feature a selection of fish.  To collect the cash catch symbols, focus on the boats above the reels as this is where they come into play. When the boats appear greyed out, they are inactive, and no Cash Catch symbols can be caught. However, when the boats get some colour, they are active, and any Cash Catch symbols that land on the reel beneath an active boat get collected (or caught!) and added to your balance.

If two boats become above a reel, they will trigger the Mega Catch, and this feature collects all the cash symbols on the reels. If you catch the Golden Lobster Symbol in the Mega Catch your win will be multiplied by 1000x

Free Spins

Landing three or more Fishing Boat Scatters on the reels will trigger the Free Spins round.   Three, four or five Fishing Boat Scatters trigger ten, fifteen & twenty free spins respectively.

Boat Multiplier

During the Free Spins, there are two active boats, with multipliers, at the top of the reels. They catch symbols and Cash Catch symbols which land on the reels below them. Extra symbols are available in the Free Spins round, giving additional chances and increasing the Boat Multiplier.

If two boats land together on a reel, their multipliers combine for a Mega Catch. When you collect all the cash symbols, re-spins are awarded during Free Spins. This is different from the base game where re-spins are not available. The re-spin feature deactivates all regular symbols, and only cash symbols will appear. Re-spins will continue as long as the boats are collecting these symbols. When no catches are left, you will go back to regular play.

Summary

The Boat Bonanza slot might look like a simple slot, but plenty is happening on the reels when the catch symbols or the scatters land. This is when this game comes into its own.

We know there are a bunch of fishing-themed slots out there, but we like this one: the features are different from the usual stuff you see. This is a simple game but it’s fun and exciting to play.

Play’n GO has done a great job designing this game, it’s very entertaining!
