Fishing paraphernalia is replaced by horseracing symbols, with the champagne bottle being the top-paying symbol on the reels.
Match 3 or more regular pay symbols along one of the game’s 10 fixed paylines to score payouts unless it’s the champagne, which awards a 0.50x prize for landing 2 of a kind on a payline.

As with the rest of the series, the bonus round in this high-variance game is where the action gets going, as the money symbols, which don’t usually offer payouts in the base game, unleash their instant cash values.
In this edition of the series, Fish Money Symbols are replaced by Horse Money Symbols, which can award instant cash prizes up to 1,000x.
Although matching Horse Money Symbols in the base game won’t award any prizes, they can occasionally be collected in the base game and awarded with random multipliers applied up to 50x.
Landing 3 or more of the game’s scatter symbols will trigger the game’s free spins bonus, awarding 10 free spins in the bonus. This time, the iconic fish scatters are replaced by jockeys on horseback but in the same design style.
On some base game spins where only 2 scatter symbols drop, there is a chance a cowboy’s lasso will randomly drag a third scatter symbol into view to trigger the bonus.
Before the bonus launches, you are taken to the racing form pick bonus, where you can see a list of the runners for the next race. Pick horse names one at a time to reveal game modifiers to take into your bonus. You can keep picking until you reveal the words “and they’re off,” which will trigger the bonus.
If you triggered the bonus round with 4 or 5 scatter symbols, one or two of the modifiers are already revealed for you. Modifiers include:
Our off-duty fisherman is still the game’s wild symbol, appearing on all reels in the bonus, substituting for regular pay symbols to help you complete paylines.
Our protagonist’s other major role is to reign in the horses and collect their instant cash values each time he lands with Horse Money Symbols on the reels.
The bonus arena also sees a return of the game’s progression meter along the top of the reels. Every fourth wild collected awards an additional 10 free spins and ups the universal win multiplier that is applied to all cash prizes collected.
You’ll also see the bonus modifiers you entered the round with displayed above the progression meter.
