Game Overview

Australian slot provider Big Time Gaming has made its name synonymous with innovative mechanics, especially with the introduction of the Megaways feature, and Golden Catch Megaways is a perfect example of what the developer continues to do well. While BTG has had some hits and misses over the years, this release brings a fresh and exciting twist that manages to keep you engaged. Golden Catch Megaways has 6 reels with up to 117,649 ways to win, a solid 96.53% RTP, and a 31,430x the stake maximum win.

Golden Catch Megaways is all about the dynamic features during the base game and, of course, the free spins feature, which truly lets the multiplier mechanic shine. First up, there is an extra layer of excitement with the Fishing Boat Feature, where boats appear randomly to collect cash prizes of up to 500x the stake. During the free spins bonus, the Fishing Boat feature is also active, but now a global win multiplier increases 1x with each fish caught.

If you want a modern BTG experience that still respects the Megaways tradition while adding something new, then Golden Catch Megaways is definitely worth your time. Check out the demo below to give it a spin.

Golden Catch Megaways Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols

The Megaways mechanic is now responsible for 100s of slots spanning multiple genres across iGaming, with inevitably, some of these being far superior to others. BTG’s release of Golden Catch Megaways is a return to form for the provider who themselves have been guilty of releasing some questionable slots in this niche, ahem, Holy Diver Megaways, Spicy Meatball Megaways, so even though it is based on the oversaturated fishing slot genre, it’s one of the better games to be introduced into both the fishing and Megaways categories of late.

Let’s get into what you can win next, and when it comes to payouts on Golden Catch Megaways, the game offers a nice mix of high-value symbols represented by fish and lower-value symbols represented by the usual playing card icons. The Purple Fish is the highest-paying symbol, offering up to 50x the stake for a 6-symbol combination. The Red Fish rewards up to 2x, the Blue Fish pays up to 0.8x, and the Green Fish tops out at 0.6x. The low-value symbols are the Ace and King, with maximum returns of 0.5x, the Queen and Jack offering up to 0.4x, and the Ten and Nine, which can return as much as 0.25x.

The staking options on Big Time Gaming slots are what I’d call normal, but some players, especially those with a considerable sized bankroll, may disagree and complain that the upper limit is restricted. For all of us ordinary folk, though, I think there are plenty of options to choose from on Golden Catch between the minimum of €0.20 a spin and a maximum of €15.

Base Game & Modifiers

Golden Catch Slot base game

The Megaways mechanic in Golden Catch gives players up to 117,649 ways to win on any given spin, depending on how many symbols land on each reel. The number of symbols per reel ranges from 2 to 7, changing with every spin to keep things interesting. This randomness, combined with cascading reels (where winning combinations are replaced by new symbols), creates plenty of opportunities for multiple wins on a single spin.

Fish Bonus

When the winning symbols are removed following a win, one or more Fish symbols holding cash values as a multiplier of the stake can appear in the vacant positions. They will hold a multiplier value that is dependent on the number of symbols on the reel it is on:

2 or 3 symbols: Cash prizes can be as high as 500x the stake.
4 or 5 symbols: Cash prizes can be as high as 3x the stake.
6 or 7 symbols: The maximum cash prize will equal your current stake.

You’ll only win those cash prizes if a Boat is above the reels. If there are multiple boats, you’ll receive those prizes multiple times. If Golden Boat is above the reels, it multiplies the cash prizes it collects by 10x.,

Win Exchange

Whenever you win a payout of 100x or more, you’re given the option of exchanging it for 10 free spins. Alternatively, if you win between 25x the stake and up to 100x, you can exchange that win for a chance of triggering the free spins bonus.

Golden Catch Megaways Slot Free Spins Feature

Golden Catch Slot free spins feature

Landing 3 or more scatter symbols in the base game on Golden Catch Megaways will trigger the free spins feature, rewarding you with ten spins for three scatters plus two additional spins for each extra scatter that hits thereafter.

Free Spins Feature

What makes this feature special is how the Fishing Boat Feature carries over into the bonus game but with a twist: a global win multiplier increases by 1x every time a boat catches a fish during the free spins. This can lead to hefty wins if you frequently land fish symbols. You can also re-trigger the free spins by landing additional scatter symbols during the bonus round, giving you even more chances to build up that multiplier and reel in a big catch.

Bonus Buy

Those wishing to bypass the base game on Golden Catch can purchase the free spins outright at the cost of 100x the bet.
