Game Overview
I was wondering when there would be a theme that would give Egyptian slots a run for their money as the famous book games like Book of Ra and Book of Dead have run riot in online casinos since, well, as far back as I can remember. The semi-submerged lake view fishing style slot theme appears to be slowly taking over, and it all started with the success of Pragmatic Play’s Big Bass Bonanza. Play’n GO soon jumped on the bandwagon with earlier releases Boat Bonanza, Boat Bonanza Down Under, Bonanza Down Colossal Catch, and now we have Boat Bonanza Christmas, which is a 5×3 12-pay line slot with a 96% RTP and a 5,000x spin bet maximum win.
Even Pragmatic has released a Christmas version of Big Bass Bonanza, so it looks like we have another clone of sorts, but with a few slight differences, as Play’n GO was biding its time so the software provider could make this one special. Boat Bonanza Christmas brings to the reels Catch symbols with multipliers, free spins with increased boat multipliers and the chance to earn more free spins. There’s also a Mega Catch feature that helps you land big wins during the base game.
If you are just as impressed with fishing-themed slots as the army of Egyptian-themed fans out there, give the Boat Bonanza Christmas demo slot and see if you can reel in that 5,000x top payout!
Gameplay & Features
When you hit the picturesque lake slap bang in the middle of the festive season, you’ll row your way through 5 reels with 3 symbols per reel and 12 pay lines to line up wins of 3 to 5 symbol combinations. The highest paying symbol brings in a 200x spin bet win, while the second in line could catch you 100x your spin bet, so you could say I am already impressed with symbols’ payout values.
Catch Symbols
If a fishing boat happens to sail onto one of the reels, any of the Catch symbols, which are the crayfish, cod, green bluegill, and mackerel worth. The crayfish is worth a 1,000x multiplier, while the cod has a value of 3x, and you’ll land +1 or 1,000 for the green bluegill and mackerel.
Free Spins
To trigger 10, 15, or 20 free spins, you’ll need to roll in the scatter boat symbol 3, 4, or 5 times, respectively. With the array of features available in this bonus, you could catch up to 5,000x multipliers thanks to the special fish symbols with random multipliers applied.
Cash Catcher Multiplier Boats
The same fishing boats that collect Catch Symbols in the bonus round can appear at the top of the reels, and if the reel has a fish symbol, the boat’s multiplier will increase the fish symbol’s value.
Respins Cash Catcher
When a boat increases the multiplier via the Catch Catcher feature, the slot will also award a respin, which does not affect your free spins count.
Extra Symbols
During the free spins bonus, the number of green bluegill fish and mackerel on the reels increases. Spin a green bluegill fish for extra free spins, while the bluegill fish will increase the Boat Multiplier above the reels.
Mega Catch
If two active boats are moored up on the same reel, a Mega Catch net from the single reel will cast out across all 5 reels and collect all multiplier symbols, adding them to your total before the free spins bonus ends.
Pros
- Excellent combination of features to enhance multiplier wins
- Both the base game and free spins use features to enhance your chances of netting combination wins.
- The high-paying symbol combination wins.
Cons
- It is yet another remake of a fishing-themed slot, which may not impress some players.
- The features may be complex for new slot players.
Boat Bonanza Slot Review Final Thoughts
In my opinion, this is one of the best fishing-themed slots that have been released for a while. Its features don’t exactly bring anything new in terms of multipliers, but the way the game uses its features to enhance existing multipliers, especially the Mega Catch, is ingenious. While some will feel this is just more of the same, those who are already avid fishing slot fans won’t care. Plus, let’s not forget the symbols combination wins on this slot are already very good!
