Fish values matter in both the Big Net modifier and Free Spins, while collected Fish and Wilds can improve the remaining bonus round. The Max Scatter also gives the initial trigger more importance than a standard Free Spins entry. We would say that the main weakness is that several counters and symbol roles need to be understood at once. Fish have ordinary line payouts, displayed collection values and their own progress meter, which may feel busy during an early session. Still, the uncluttered artwork helps keep those elements readable. In our view, this game is best suited to those who prefer conventional paylines but want most of the payout potential concentrated in collection features and Free Spins.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e"}]}
