Slot machine details and review The Greatest Catch Bonus Buy
One of Evoplayβs releases, The Greatest Catch Bonus Buy, is a fishing-themed slot, one of several you can find in their collection. As far as fishing-themed slots go, this oneβs a typical one, both as far as graphics and features are concerned. You will discover 5×3 reels that will spin for you, and the 10 active paylines reserved for winning combinations.
Every slot machine must be developed by a company that invented, designed and put it into operation. Many players eventually find that they only enjoy playing on machines from specific software provider, so they narrow down their selection by preferred brand.
A slot with medium volatility. Wins are less frequent, but more often of higher value. The game is less stable and you can expect longer periods without winning, suitable for players who can tolerate higher risk and are more after bigger wins. More about volatility here.
Slot theme and symbols
If the look of The Greatest Catch Bonus Buy is a familiar one to you, thatβs either because youβve played other Evoplay fishing slots in the past or because you just like the genre in general. The same exact symbols used in this game are also part of their other fishing titles, so that part doesnβt seem to change, just the mechanics and math of it. Visually, itβs a good-looking online slot with five reels, which uses 10 regular symbols for its winning combinations (half are themed and the other half are not).
The Greatest Catch Bonus Buy theme and symbols
The typical fishing-style slot is not going to take it easy on the player, and The Greatest Catch Bonus Buy doesnβt go that route, either. If in doubt, check out the slotβs demo first, but the Medium to High volatility rating is earned based on my experience. Itβs the type of game that will pay well, though, with a 10,000x top jackpot making it worth your time to check it out. The long-term expectation is that the RTP will be at 95.98%, which is acceptable, though plenty of other fishing slots will do even better.

WILD symbol
While the Fisherman Wild can make appearances on the reels, this is only going to happen during the gameβs free spins feature. Not only is it a substitute symbol there, but it also creates its own combinations when there are enough wilds on a payline, and itβs also a collector of prizes from fish symbols. Unfortunately, itβs not available during paid spins.
Scatter symbol
The way to get paid well in this game is by reaching the free spins feature, and for that, you will need the scatter symbol to make appearances on the reels. These are present only during the main game, and theyβre removed during free spins, so they canβt be used to retrigger the feature.
Fish symbol
Fish symbols are the stars of fishing-style slots, carrying prizes when landing on the reels. There are several variants, depending on the prizes they carry. The range for those prizes is between 2x and 2,000x the stake (a total of 8 values that they choose from).
Free Spins
Whenever you have 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols on the reels at the same time, youβre going to be rewarded with 10, 15, or 20 free spins, respectively. The Fisherman Wilds are added to the reels, ready to act as collectors of prizes from fish symbols. Wilds are also collected themselves, and for every 4 that are added to the meter, you get 10 extra spins and a higher multiplier for the fish prizes you collect. This can happen three times, so you get up to 30 extra free spins, and multipliers go to 2x, then 3x, and then to 10x.
Bonus Buy
In this particular version of the game, you will notice the Bonus Buy button on the left side of the screen. Click on it, and you will be taken to a screen where you can pick one of three options. You can get 10 free spins for 50x the stake, 15 free spins for 92x, or 20 free spins for 140x.

Our rating of the game
The Greatest Catch Bonus Buy
While I like the design quality and the 10,000x top jackpot thatβs advertised for it, The Greatest Catch Bonus Buy doesnβt really excel in any other areas. Itβs got the exact same fishing-style features as everyone else does, and theyβre only available during free spins (other slots collect prizes during paid spins as well). Its RTP is fine, at 95.98%, but once again, itβs not one of the best around. As for its volatility, itβs at a medium to high level, which tells us what kind of audience itβs designed for. I wouldnβt recommend it to a beginner for that reason.

How do we rate slot machines?
We evaluate slot machines based on multiple criteria, from which we make our final verdict.
A 10,000x top prize is always good news for a slot machine, even when itβs on the riskier side.
Good graphics, fishing-inspired, and with a slightly different selection of symbols than most competitors.
It has a popular mix of features, with free spins and a collection mechanic that can include multipliers.
Even regular symbols can form high-value combinations, paying up to 200x the stake.
You can trigger the bonus feature immediately if youβre willing to use the Bonus Buy options.
Cons
The Medium to High volatility of the game, while not at an extreme level, still carries significant risk.
A 95.98% RTP isnβt bad, but the majority of the fishing-inspired competitors do even better.
There are no fun mechanics to use during paid spins, so only during free spins do you get some excitement.
It has the exact same features as everyone else, so it doesnβt stand out in the fishing category.
