Game Overview
Those of you who reside in the UK and regularly gamble in the bookmakers or arcades will be more than familiar with several Light & Wonder slots that can be found on the betting terminals in those premises. Many of these games are incredibly popular with players, so, unsurprisingly, the provider has decided to develop these games in an online format, too, so punters can choose whether to visit their local arcade or play from the comfort of their homes instead. The latest game to make the transition over is Monster Catch, a 5-reel game with 10 fixed paylines, an RTP of 96.17%, and a maximum win of 736x the bet.
Monster Catch, just like its land-based counterpart, offers several features throughout the gameplay. For starters, there’s a pie gamble that allows you to risk wins of 5x and over for more cash or even a chance at triggering the bonus round. We also have the premium play feature, where all wins of 2.5x or more are taken to a wheel that can multiply the win by up to 5x or award free spins instead. Finally, there is that free spins bonus round where mighty reels can come into play when a golden fisherman lands, unlocking all positions and awarding any special cash symbol in view.
Has this been one of your go-to games when playing in the bookies? If so, you’ll want to see what the online version has to offer and through our free Monster Catch demo slot, you can do just that below.
Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
Having your favourite land-based slots available to play online will be a big plus point for many punters, so if you fall into that category and are wondering what else is available to play, you’ll be pleased to know we have several other free games you try here at Demoslot to compare the differences. While there are too many to list here individually, I’d suggest taking a look at Moon Shadow, the excellent Rainbow Riches Midnight Magic, and if you’re more into table games, our 20p Roulette demo and Key Bet Roulette demo games are good options to consider.
Let’s return to Monster Catch now and learn more about the awards offered in the pays section. At the top of the paytable and the most valuable symbol in the game, we have the Seagull worth 200x the bet for a winning connection of five. This is followed by the Worm at 100x, with the Buoy and Anchor sharing returns or 50x, and the Mixed Fish symbols completing the premium section with a payout of 20x the bet for a full line of five. That only leaves the low pays left to cover represented by the royals, where the Ace, King, Queen, Jack, and Ten all have equal awards of 10x if five form part of a winning combo.
The last thing to discuss in this part of the review is the potential betting options on Monster Catch. The low rollers among you will be pleased to see the minimum stake set at €0.20 a spin, whilst the other end of the staking spectrum allows those with bigger budgets to spend up to €10 a press.
Base Game & Modifiers
There are super complicated payline structures to face in the Monster Catch slot, with gameplay taking part over a 5×3 reel configuration. All paytable symbols, except the Seagull (two symbols), will need to land as a minimum three of a kind symbol win across one of the 10 active paylines for its corresponding win to be awarded.
Gamble
You can opt to leave the gamble option switched off or toggle it on so that wins of 5x and over can be risked for more substantial rewards. If you do choose to gamble, two wheels are available for you to choose from. The left side presents the opportunity to win more cash, while the right side will give you a shot at winning some free spins.
Premium Play
The premium play option can be selected at the additional cost of 50% on top of your normal stake. Once in play, any win of over 2x will give you a spin on the bonus wheel, where you can multiply your current win by up to 5x or win up to 20 free spins.
Monster Catch Slot Bonus Features
If you try to trigger the bonus round organically in Monster Catch, you’ll need 3, 4, or 5 of the bonus scatter symbols to land anywhere in view, which will award 10, 15, and 20 free spins, respectively.
Free Spins Feature
When the free spins bonus begins, the size of the reels expands to a 6×5 configuration thanks to the Mighty Reels feature, and two new bonus symbols are added to the reels. The first symbol is a standard wild, and every time it lands, not only does it substitute for all regular symbols, but it will also collect and fish money symbols that are in view on the standard 5×3 reel set. The 2nd symbol is the golden wild, and when this lands, it will unlock the netted area above the standard reel set and collect all fish money symbols on the reels, along with awarding 2 extra free spins.
Pros
- A higher jackpot than its land-based counterpart.
- Excellent graphics and brilliant gameplay.
Cons
- A low max win if you're used to playing online slots.
- Variable RTP models are on offer.
Monster Catch Final Thoughts
There will be many of you turning your nose up at the maximum win of 736x on Monster Catch, but you have to remember that in the arcades and bookies, the jackpot is capped at 500x, so it is an improvement.My one piece of advice, however, if you do choose to play this online, would be to check the RTP of the game, as some of the versions reach as low as 87%, whereas, in general, you should be playing with at least an RTP of 90% in the bookies, although I have seen lower on occasion.
