Wild Catch Slot Game Review
General Info
The Wild Catch slot game is a machine which was created by the wonderful Microgaming team. This machine was developed for the market back in August 2013, so it has been around for a fair while.
In keeping with a lot of the older Microgaming slots, the graphics are relatively basic here with the interface incredibly simple to navigate. Wild Catch is accessible on all desktop, mobile and tablet devices.
Gameplay
One of the things that Microgaming are renowned for is taking a theme which you wouldn’t necessarily associate with a slot game and turning it into exactly that. They do that again here with Wild Catch, which has a sea fishing feel about it. Wild Catch has five reels and 243 paylines.
Wild Catch is another slot that uses the playing cards as the lower value icons. .They are the 9, 10, J, Q, K and A in this game, while the better paying ones include the fishing boat, the squid, the scales and the trophy for the biggest catch. The Wild symbol is a swordfish with the fisherman in a buoy being the Scatter here.
Bonus Feature
Two bonus features make up the Wild Catch game with the first of those being the Wild feature. If you can land three of the Wild icons then you launch a small free spins game. You receive five spins and all the prizes within them are armed with a 3x multiplier. In addition to that whenever you land a win in them which involves that Wild icon you’ll receive another free spin, so you can quickly turn this into a lucrative time.
The other feature comes in the form of the Scatter feature free spins where again three of the Scatter icons are needed to launch the game. The more Scatters you get the more spins you will receive. Three Scatters will provide you with 10 free spins, four will get you 15 and the five will net you 20 free spins. The feature begins with wins having a 1x multiplier but whenever you win with the Wild icon as part of the combination that multiplier will increase by one until you get up to 10x, which is probably unlikely. Nevertheless, you can still pick up some nice wins from this particular feature.
RTP
The RTP rating for the Wild Catch slot game is 95.52% which is way below the average for a slot game these days and one which will go against the player.
CasinoNZ Verdict
Wild Catch is something a bit different. Microgaming deserves some credit for taking an unusual theme and turning it into a slot game which in the main is pretty enjoyable and can be quite lucrative if you can make full use of the features that are on offer to you. The graphics are pretty basic but to make up for that the machine is very simple to use. Wild Catch doesn’t wow you with anything but there is enough to it to call it a solid recommendation.
