The Boat Bonanza Down Under slot by Play'n Go is a fishing-themed game with three distinct ways to win prizes in the main game. The bonus round comes with upfront modifier selections, as well as upgrades to modifiers, extra spins, and multipliers.
While the regular pay symbols may not be the most alluring in a fishing/money-themed game, they include card ranks from 10 to Ace, goggles, flip-flops, a canned tentacle, and a bird on a float. Hitting 5 of the royal card symbols pays 10 times the original bet, while 5 of the premium symbols award 50 to 200 times the stake. The fish money symbols can also form winning lines, worth up to 40 times the bet for 5 of them, with individual prize values ranging from 1x to 50x.
Triggering 3 or more scatter symbols awards 10 free spins. During the free spins, a 12-position trail is added to the game. Collecting scatter symbols allows progression along the trail, including from the special scatter generated by the Under Reel Collection feature. At every 2 steps on the trail, players are granted another pick or additional free spins, with positions 2, 6, and 10 offering picks, and positions 4, 8, and 12 retriggering free spins, +10 each time.
The online slot game offers various multiplier levels, such as x2, x3, and x10. Scattered symbols are only eligible for collection if they appear alongside the fisherman symbol, as part of the "Surf n Catch" or "Under Reel Collection" mechanics. Once the 12th position is reached, no additional free spins will be awarded, with the maximum number of free spins capped at 50. Multipliers in the feature only apply to "Catch" wins, and not to regular line wins.
At the start of the free spins round, players can select a bonus modifier from a set of 8 options, each with a standard and an upgraded version. These modifiers can enhance the free spins experience, such as providing extra free spins, increasing the frequency of "Catch" triggers, adding more "Catch" symbols, removing the lowest-paying symbols, ensuring at least one "Catch" symbol per spin, boosting the "Catch" multiplier, or making one "Catch" symbol sticky for a single spin. Additionally, the progression through the game's trail can grant the player more bonus picks.
Spin the reels without any risk of losing, with the Catch Multiplier boosted up to 5 times the original value. Alternatively, 2 randomly selected catch symbols will remain sticky for just 1 spin. During the free spins round, a maximum of 4 modifiers can be in play, and each type of modifier can only be active once, preventing the simultaneous use of both standard and enhanced versions of the same modifier.
