To play the game, the player presses the SPIN BUTTON. If playing on PC and if enabled in the game options menu, the space bar can also be used to spin the reels.
Winning symbols are raised over the reels when the spin stops.
Wins pay from left to right.
Simultaneous or coinciding wins on different ways are added.
Gigablox
GigaBlox are massive symbols on enlarged reels.
GigaBlox symbols can be up to 5×5 in size. GigaBlox symbols will be split into normal 1×1 symbols for the purpose of win calculation.
Money Ways
Fish symbols can land in view on any reel. Fish symbols land with cash prizes attached to them, and can win as per any other normal way win, on adjacent reels from left to right. When a win occurs, any Fish symbols involved in the win will award the total prize shown on the symbol.
Fish symbols can appear on GigaBlox reels. GigaBlox Fish symbols will split into 1×1 Fish symbols, all with the same cash prize. The total displayed on the GigaBlox Fish before splitting is the total of all the 1×1 cash prizes for all symbols that form the GigaBlox. Only the 1×1 Fish symbols that land in the reel area and are involved in a Ways win will be awarded.
Symbols
Wild
The Wild symbol substitutes for every symbol apart from scatters.
Wilds have no payout and can appear on any reel.
Respin Scatter
Landing 3 or more Respin Scatters in view on the reels triggers the Respin bonus.
Respin Scatters on GigaBlox reels will not appear as large symbols, but will appear as adjacent 1×1 symbols across the GigaBlox reel. Each 1×1 Respin Scatter across a GigaBlox reel will count as a separate scatter.
Seaweed
Seaweed does not award wins.
Big Game Fish
Big Game Fish can land as GigaBlox symbols:
- The BIG Big Game Fish will land as a 2×2 GigaBlox symbol.
- The SUPER Big Game Fish will land as a 3×3 GigaBlox symbol.
- The MEGA Big Game Fish will land as a 4×4 GigaBlox symbol.
- The ULTRA Big Game Fish will land as a 5×5 GigaBlox symbol.
The total values of these Big Game Fish can be found next to the reels, which are the total value of all of the component 1×1 symbols after the Big Game Fish GigaBlox symbol splits. Any of the 1×1 symbols that are involved in a Ways win will award an equal portion of the full Big Game Fish prize as part of that win.
Giant Squid Features
The Giant Squid may randomly appear on any spin in the base game and trigger one of the following features:
Squid Shuffle Feature
Seaweed will reveal symbols, guaranteeing a win.
Squid Shuffle Feature
The reels will shuffle into a new order creating a win.
Squid Swap Feature
Swaps symbols to create wins on the reels.
Giga Summon Feature
A large GigaBlox reel will be summoned, which will contain symbols sized 4×4 or larger.
Fishing Respins Bonus
Landing 3 or more Respin Scatters in view on the reels triggers the Fishing Respin bonus.
Each reel that a scatter lands on will be open; all other reels will be closed.
The top and bottom symbol positions on each reel will also be closed at the beginning of the bonus.
Any Fish symbols that land on the triggering spin will be locked on the reels, regardless of whether they land on a reel that is open or closed. If they land in the top or bottom positions, they will be moved to another position on the same reel.
All symbol positions will spin and any new Fish symbols that land on open reels will be locked in place. Fish symbols that land on closed reels will not be locked.
GigaBlox symbols up to 5×5 in size can spin into view. These will then split into 1×1 symbols – any of these 1×1 symbols that are on open reels in positions that do not already have a symbol locked in place will be locked as normal.
If a Respin scatter lands on a closed reel, that reel will be opened for subsequent respins. Respin scatters cannot land on already open reels.
The player will have 3 respins. If a new Fish symbol is locked in place or a Respin scatter opens up a closed reel on a respin, the number of remaining respins will be reset to 3. When the player runs out of respins, the bonus is over and the cash prizes from all Fish symbols that were locked to open reels will be awarded.
Shark Feature
If all open positions on an open reel are completely filled with locked Fish symbols, a shark will swim up that reel and collect the cash prizes from all of the Fish symbols. The total prize will be multiplied by 2x and held in a single position on the reel; the other reel positions will then be reopened for new Fish symbols to land in.
The first time that this occurs on a reel, this will open the top and bottom positions on the reel.
These positions have a symbol multiplier attached to them. Locking a Fish symbol into one of these positions will multiply its cash prize by this multiplier. This multiplier will only be applied to the first symbol that is locked in this position.
How To Calculate A Win With 46656 Ways
If any of the reels contain more than 1 instance of a symbol, the win will be multiplied.
