The Greatest Catch

The Greatest Catch Slot: Reel in Wins Up to x10,000 With Harry the Fisherman

A drowsy fisherman named Harry. A sun-drenched pond. And somewhere beneath the surface, a golden Scatter fish that could change everything. That's the setup behind The Greatest Catch slot by Evoplay — a 2022 release that's earned a loyal following among fishing-themed slot fans for good reason. We're proud to offer it at BetFury, and here's everything you need to know before you cast your first spin.

What Makes The Greatest Catch Worth Your Time

If you've spent any time with fishing slots — Big Bass Bonanza being the obvious comparison — you already know the formula: serene water, quirky characters, and a bonus round where the real money hides. The Greatest Catch slot follows a similar blueprint, but Evoplay sharpened a few edges that matter.

The game runs on a 5x3 grid with 10 fixed paylines. Bets start at $0.10 and cap at $100 per spin, which covers casual players and high rollers alike. Volatility sits in the high range, meaning dry spells happen, but they're balanced by the potential for serious payouts — specifically, a maximum win of x10,000 your total bet. At a $100 stake, that's a theoretical ceiling of $1,000,000 on a single free spins round.

RTP is set at 96.00%, putting the game right at the industry average. Nothing spectacular on paper, but competitive enough that you're not giving the house an unusual edge.

The Symbol Hierarchy: From Card Royals to Big Boots

Ten regular symbols fill the reels, split between low-value and high-value tiers. Here's how they stack up:

• 10, J, Q, K, A card royals make up the low-paying group — five of a kind pays up to x10 your bet per line
• A blue fish, violet backpack, frog, and hat form the mid-to-high tier with payouts climbing toward x100
• The boot sits at the top of the regular paytable — it pays even from just two matching symbols and reaches x200 for a five-of-a-kind line
• The Wild (Harry the fisherman) substitutes for everything except Scatter and only appears during Free Spins
• The Scatter (golden fish) triggers the bonus round from the base game — land three or more anywhere on the reels

That boot symbol catching your eye? Good. It's the one regulars watch for. A full line of boots at max bet delivers a x200 line win before any bonus multipliers even kick in.

Free Spins, the Fishing Feature, and Why Dynamite Changes Everything

The real action in The Greatest Catch happens once you trigger Free Spins. Three Scatters give you 10 free rounds, four Scatters award 15, and five hand you 20. But the number of initial spins is just the beginning.

During Free Spins, two mechanics work together to build your payout:

The Fishing Feature activates whenever a Wild and one or more Fish symbols land on the grid simultaneously. Each Wild collects all Fish symbol values on the reels — and those Fish carry random multipliers between x2 and x2,000 your bet. One well-placed Wild next to a cluster of high-value Fish can produce a payout worth hundreds of times your stake in a single spin.

The Dynamite Feature triggers after any losing spin that has at least one Wild but zero Fish symbols on the grid. When it fires, 3 to 6 regular symbols get replaced with Fish symbols. In practice, this means the game actively fights against dead spins during the bonus. You land a Wild, you don't catch anything — boom, Dynamite ensures Fish appear on the very next opportunity. It's a safety net with teeth.

There's also a progress bar with buoys at the top of the screen. Every Wild you land activates one buoy. Every fourth buoy awards 10 extra Free Spins and increases the Fishing Feature multiplier:

• First 4 buoys collected: Fishing multiplier rises to x2
• Second set of 4 buoys: multiplier jumps to x3
• Third set of 4 buoys: multiplier reaches x10

That x10 multiplier on top of a x2,000 Fish value is exactly how players hit the x10,000 max win cap.

How The Greatest Catch Compares to the Full Series

When you play The Greatest Catch at BetFury, you're getting the original version — but Evoplay built an entire family of games around this concept. We host every title in the series, and each one tweaks the formula in a specific way. Here's a side-by-side breakdown:

The BetFury Greatest Catch deserves a special mention. It's a product of our direct partnership with Evoplay — you won't find it at any other casino. If you've already clicked with the original's mechanics and want something tailored to our community, that's where to go.

Who Should Play This Slot (And Who Shouldn't)

The Greatest Catch works best for players who enjoy high-volatility slots where patience during the base game pays off with explosive Free Spins rounds. If you like the collect-and-cash mechanic popularized by Pragmatic Play's Big Bass series, Evoplay's version adds the Dynamite safety net and a tiered multiplier system that the Big Bass titles don't have.

That said, if you prefer frequent small wins and low variance, this isn't the slot for you. The base game can feel quiet. There's no bonus buy option in this version (the Bonus Buy edition exists separately for that). And 10 paylines on a 5x3 grid means fewer winning combinations per spin than you'd get on a Megaways or cluster-pays game.

A quick checklist to help you decide:

• You enjoy fishing-themed slots with a collect mechanic — yes, play it
• You want high max win potential (x10,000) with tiered Free Spins multipliers — yes
• You prefer buying directly into bonus rounds — try the Bonus Buy version instead
• You want a bigger grid with more paylines — check out the Mega version
• You need low volatility and consistent base game returns — look elsewhere

How to Play The Greatest Catch at BetFury

Getting started takes about ten seconds. Load the game page, set your bet between $0.10 and $100 using the coin slider, and hit spin. We support both demo mode (free play with virtual credits) and real-money play with crypto deposits. The slot runs on HTML5, so it works on desktop browsers, Android, and iOS without any downloads.

If you're new to fishing-themed collect slots, we'd suggest starting in demo mode. Run 50–100 spins to get a feel for the base game frequency, then trigger at least one Free Spins round to see how the Fishing and Dynamite features interact. Once you understand the flow, switch to real play at a bet level that lets you ride through at least 200–300 spins comfortably.

The Greatest Catch isn't the flashiest slot Evoplay has ever made. But the mechanics underneath — the Dynamite anti-dead-spin system, the triple-tier multiplier progression, the x2,000 Fish symbols — make it one of the more thoughtfully designed fishing games in the genre. Harry's been waiting at that pond long enough. Time to see what's biting.
