The Greatest Catch Demo Overview
The Greatest Catch puts its prizes on show long before it lets you collect them. Blue Fish swim across the 5×3 reels of this Evoplay slot with values on their banners, but the Wild that gathers those values appears in Free Spins only. That round is where a banner value can be won.
Above the water, a grey-bearded angler in a yellow cap and red shirt leans back in an orange-brown rowing boat, cap tipped over his face and rod held out to a red-and-white float on the pond. The reels are below the surface, a soft cartoon take on the fishing theme. Card letters are drawn inside soap bubbles, and the high symbols are a boot shown sole-first, a yellow bucket hat, a waving green frog, a purple backpack, and the Fish.
Free Spins
Three Scatters award 10 Free Spins, while four Scatters bring 15 and five bring 20. Drawn as a golden fish caught on a silver hook over a purple disc, the Scatter is a main-game symbol only, so it plays no part once the round begins.
Fish Banners
The Fish is a line symbol and a money symbol at once. On a line, a run of three Fish pays 1x, four pay 5x, and five pay 20x the bet. During the Free Spins, each Fish also has a random value: 2x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, and 50x, with 2,000x at the top. The main game shows the banners too, but the collecting waits for the Free Spins.
Collection is the Fishing feature. When Fish and at least one Wild land together during the Free Spins, each Wild on the reels collects every Fish value in view, not a share of them. The Fishing total is then added to any other regular wins in the round.
The Fourth-Wild Ladder
The game counts the Wilds that land in the round. Every fourth Wild adds 10 Free Spins with a higher multiplier on the Fishing feature, and each new batch plays after the one before it.
| Wilds landed in Free Spins | Extra spins | Fishing multiplier |
|---|---|---|
| First group of 4 | +10 | x2 |
| Second group of 4 | +10 | x3 |
| Third group of 4 (last extra batch) | +10 | x10 |
The third group is where the ladder ends. After it, the round adds no more spins, so a trigger of 10, 15, or 20 can grow by up to 30.
Dynamite
A losing Free Spin can still change the reels. If one or more Wilds are in view and no Fish are, Dynamite turns 3 to 6 regular symbols into Fish. It gives a Wild on an empty pond something to collect.
How to Play
Boots Pay for Two
The boot is the one symbol here with a win for two of a kind, 0.5x on a line. From three up, it pays the same as the Free Spins Wild, 5x, 20x, and 200x, so the two share the top of the table. That 0.5x for a pair matches what three card letters pay.
In Free Spins, the Wild can take the place of anything but the Scatter, and the main game has none. Outside the round, that leaves the boot with the top line pay, 200x for five. Wins count from reel 1 along the 10 fixed lines, and each line pays just its highest win.
RTP
Evoplay’s bet range covers stakes from €0.10 to €75. The game plays on a 96.09% return, the RTP for The Greatest Catch.
Free Spins wins are “limited to 10,000x bet”. Once the round’s total reaches that figure, the round ends, pays the 10,000x, and forfeits any spins still to come.
Paytable
Five card letters share one row of small pays, and the Fish is the lowest of the high symbols, at 20x for five. The frog and the backpack pay the same as each other in the middle of the table. All pays below are shown as times the total stake.
| Symbol | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wild (fisherman, Free Spins only) | – | 5x | 20x | 200x |
| Boot | 0.5x | 5x | 20x | 200x |
| Hat | – | 3x | 15x | 100x |
| Frog | – | 2x | 10x | 50x |
| Backpack | – | 2x | 10x | 50x |
| Fish | – | 1x | 5x | 20x |
| A, K, Q, J, 10 | – | 0.5x | 2.5x | 10x |
| Scatter | – | 10 Free Spins | 15 Free Spins | 20 Free Spins |
Ultimate Slots Verdict
A 3.9 for The Greatest Catch, and the Free Spins earn nearly all of it.
Every fourth Wild landed during Free Spins adds 10 spins and lifts the Fishing multiplier to x2, x3, and then x10, with each Wild collecting the Fish that land together with it. The main game has no Wild, so its Fish banners stay uncollected until the round starts.

Detailed Review
Our Review of Evoplay’s The Greatest Catch
10,000x is the Free Spins limit, and for this review it’s the number that explains the rest of The Greatest Catch. The top line pay outside the round is 200x, so the slot’s interest is in the round, and the ladder is the best part of it. Each group of 4 Wilds adds 10 spins and lifts the Fishing multiplier to x2, then x3, then x10, while every Wild that lands together with Fish collects all of them. A round that gets stronger as it goes is worth waiting for.
The main game is the counterweight. Evoplay’s April 2022 release gives it 10 lines, no Wild, and Scatters that only open the round, so the Fish banners drift past with nothing to catch them. Watching values that only the Free Spins can collect gets tiresome between triggers. A Scatter is a main-game symbol only, so once the round starts, the Wilds are what make it longer.
Players who know Bigger Bass Bonanza will recognise the setup, because Pragmatic Play’s angler Wild also appears only in free spins. The honest limitation is the same here. Between rounds, the Fish pay as line symbols and nothing more, while the banner values wait for the Free Spins. Judge The Greatest Catch on its round, and it holds up; judge it on the reels between rounds, and it’s a plain 10-line game.
