The Gus Goes Fishing slot game is playable on any device with a bet ranging from 0.20 to 20 per spin. The game has a layout of 5 reels with 3 rows each and 20 ways to win. Matching symbols on a payline, starting from the leftmost reel, on adjacent reels, will get you a winning combination.
The symbols that you can encounter on the reels are made up of card royals for the low-pays along with higher-paying symbols such as a worm, starfish, boot, and a tackle box. Prizes worth up to 20x your stake may be won from landing a full line of matching symbols on a payline. The fisherman character of the game, Gus, serves as the game’s Wild and Collect symbols. He can stand in for any regular symbol to help complete winning combinations.
Fish symbols on the reels are collected when they land along with a Gus Collect symbol. Fish symbols are cash symbols with prizes worth up to 10x your stake for the blue fishes, and up to 100x your stake for the big fishes. Big Fishes also hold the game’s jackpots.
The modifiers of the base game are a fun addition to the game which make playing it more exciting. Depending on the active modifier, fish symbols may be collected, random win multipliers may be awarded, or extra bonus symbols may be added to the reels.
The Deep Spins feature of the game is activated by landing three or more Scatters on the reels. 8 to 12 Deep Spins free spins are awarded. Collected fish symbols are added to a progress bar during the feature. If you reach a multiplier on the bar, the fish symbols will be multiplied by this value. During the Deep Spins, Golden Fish symbols also come into play which stay on the reels until the feature ends.
