Big Game Fishing Rapid Riches Slot Review
The waterline cuts straight across the middle of the screen: pine shoreline and morning sun above, deep turquoise water below, a carved wooden plaque reading LEGENDARY CATCH hanging off to the left. Big Game Fishing Rapid Riches from Reflex is a collect game wearing a ways slot as a disguise. The win ways count up to 1125, but they’re the least interesting thing happening on this lake; the real game is the fish, each one carrying a cash value, and the fishermen who take them off the grid.
The numbers are a 5×3 grid with 1125 win ways, a total return of 94.0% on a high volatility maths model, and stakes from 0.10 to 100. Sister titles from the same studio include 2 Fast 2 Fruity, Get Kraken and Fat Cats DoubleMax. It’s the collect-and-hold half that does the real angling.
Base Game & Features
The grid is an odd construction. Reels two to four sit together as the main cluster, with reels one and five standing apart as single reels on either side, and the win ways count shifts as those outer reels expand and shrink between spins.
Ways can drop as low as 48 or run up to the full 1125. Wins pay left to right on adjacent reels, and only the highest combination per way counts. The paytable keeps things simple, with seven pay tiers. Values are multiples of the line stake:
- Rapid Riches logo – 1.2x, 4x, 10x for three, four and five
- Boat – 1x, 3x, 5x
- Tackle bag – 0.6x, 1.5x, 3x
- Fishing reel – 0.5x, 1x, 2x
- Bobber and Fish – 0.4x, 0.6x, 1.2x
- A and K – 0.2x, 0.3x, 0.6x
- Q, J and 10 – 0.1x, 0.2x, 0.4x
Prize Collect
Land a Fisherman symbol on reel one or reel five, with Prize symbols anywhere on the other reels, and the Fisherman collects the total of every Prize symbol in view. Cash Fish award the cash value printed on them. If a Fisherman lands on both outer reels in the same spin, every Prize symbol on the grid is collected twice.
That double-collect is where the outer reels earn their keep. A single Fisherman is a tidy top-up; two of them turn one good grid into two payouts of it. Prize symbols don’t pay on their own, so the Fisherman is the only route to that money.
Rapid Respins
Rapid Respin symbols land on reel five and add one, two or three points to the Rapid Respins meter. Every Cash Fish that lands anywhere feeds a separate counter, and when that counter reaches its displayed target, the respins begin.
During the feature, every reel position that doesn’t hold a Cash Fish spins again. Any Cash Fish that lands is held in place for the rest of the round. The feature runs until the respins are used up or the entire grid is full of fish, at which point every displayed Cash Fish prize is collected.
It’s a hold-and-fill round with a meter in front of it, and filling the grid is the goal the whole base game is quietly building towards.
Golden Bet
Golden Bet is a standing option rather than a triggered feature. With it active, Rapid Respins need only 25 collected Cash Fish to fire instead of the standard target, and it costs an extra 50% on every spin.
For players chasing the respins specifically, it’s the difference between a long grind and a shorter one. For everyone else it’s a price hike on the way to the same features.
Free Spins & Jackpots in Big Game Fishing Rapid Riches
Bonus symbols are the ticket into the free spins round, and the entry is unusual: each Bonus symbol collected awards seven free spins, so the round can begin with seven, fourteen or more depending on how many you’ve banked. Free Spins can be triggered with up to 42 free spins.
Sliding Fisherman
Inside the round, the Fisherman changes character. Any Fisherman landing on reels one or five slides down one position on the following free spin, staying in play instead of vanishing.
A Fisherman parked on the grid keeps collecting every spin it survives, so the round rewards building a crew of them and keeping them alive. A Fisherman at the top of a tall stack of fish can pay out several spins in a row before it slides off the bottom.
Golden Spins
Every collect during free spins feeds the Golden Spins counter. After a Fisherman Collect, the Cash Fish positions spin again as many times as the counter shows, and each Golden Spin is guaranteed to land a Cash Fish.
The possible values run from 0.5x the base bet up to 500x, stepping through 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x and 100x along the way. A guaranteed catch on every Golden Spin makes the counter worth watching, and a long round with repeated collects can stack it high enough that the final payout dwarfs everything the round paid on the way through.
Jackpot Reel
Land a Fisherman together with a Jackpot symbol and the Jackpot reel spins, awarding one of four fixed jackpots: Tiddler, Lunker, Whopper or Monster.
The maximum win is stated as €200,000, a multiplier of x2,000 the base bet. The naming does the sizing for you: a Tiddler won’t change your day, and a Monster might.
Bonus Buy
The round can also be bought outright, with a choice of buy length at whatever stake you’ve set:
- 7 free spins
- 14 free spins
- 21 free spins
Buying skips the Bonus symbol collection entirely and drops you straight into the round with the Sliding Fisherman and Golden Spins mechanics in play from the first spin.
Our Honest Verdict
Overall Rating: 7/10
You spend most of your time on this lake counting fish. The ways wins tick over, but what keeps you watching is every Cash Fish that lands, because each one is a small step towards a respin round and money in the net. That patience loop is the reason to cast a line here at all, and it’s a good one.
The best thing Reflex have built is the free spins round, where sliding Fishermen keep collecting and every collect banks a guaranteed Golden Spin. Stacked properly, that counter pays far more than anything the round hands out along the way.
The worst is that the base game is thin, and the 94.0% return is low for the patience it demands. Players who enjoy a long build towards one big haul will be happy here; anyone after frequent ways wins or quick rounds has better water elsewhere.
