Introduction
Bobbing along the five reels of Catch of the Day will immerse you in a highly fishy underwater world. With any luck, you won’t just catch fish but manage to trigger some of the bonus features, including free spins and an unusual format of gamble/risk game. Inspired Gaming have added a lot to the 10 paylines to make this slot more exciting.
Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack
With a name like “Catch of the Day”, you know there have to be fish in this slot. You’re not a a boat or the shore but swimming with fish at the bottom of the ocean. It’s a blurry blue world where you can just about make out the painted coral and strands of seaweed, but the bubbles that float by are clear. You can hear bubbles too, as well the gentle sound of waves, before you hit spin and a merry tune starts to play. The fish themselves swim on the reels (transparent to show the sea for the fish, solid blue for other symbols), but so do fishing hooks, as well as other important equipment like a life ring. There’s even a soggy algae-filled boot that obviously slipped off of a fisherman’s foot. As a whole, the theme may appeal to fans of the Fishin Frenzy slot.

Catch of the Day RTP and Variance
You can’t control where the reels land or how much you win, but you can set reasonable expectations and make sensible budget decisions. That’s easier with an idea of Catch of the Day’s average returns. You may be disappointed to hear that it’s 95.05%, which is somewhat low, but that doesn’t mean you’ll never find bigger wins. It is difficult to assess win frequency, because there doesn’t appear to be an official variance figure.
How to Play Catch of the Day
Are you ready to cast your line?
- Start to the left of the reels. You can adjust your bet using the up and down arrows or click to open all available bet options. If you’re not sure of the appropriate amount, take a look at your total balance at the bottom of the screen to figure out what you can afford.
- Just below the bet adjustor is a menu button. There are six items on the menu: game info, game history, sound, left-hand play, turbo and go to lobby.
- Game info is for the rules and paytable. Game history can give you a nice dose of realism by showing bets, wins and losses. Sound, left-hand play and turbo are on/off toggles.
- When you go back to the main screen, look right. The gamble bonus feature is optional and can be activated by pressing the button. Then it’s just the choice between regular spins and autoplay.
- Autoplay is the smaller button, but it does give options. You don’t just set up to 100 spins, and you can also include your loss and win limits as hard stopping points.
- As with all free play slots, we recommend setting limits like you would in a real money game to get into good habits. Take breaks too.
Always play responsibly. When the fun stops, stop.
Bet & Win Sizes
Opening the bet adjustor will reveal a reasonable but not remarkable bet range of between 0.10 and 30.00.
Regular symbols can be matched three, four or five times from left to right across adjacent reels. An exception is the trophy symbol, which also pays from two matches. The paytable reflects their value at the current bet, so a minimum wager will the following maximums:
10, J, Q, K, A - 1.00
Hook, Boot - 5.00
Life ring - 10.00
Trophy - 20.00
Mixed pays:
The fish symbols are mixed pays, meaning you can mix and match them and still have a winning line. Five mixed pays = 2.00 for a minimum bet.
Catch of the Day Bonus Features
Gamble
You have three options with gamble. You can just switch it off completely. You can set it to be active after any winning spin. Or, unusually, you can set it to activate only when your winnings are equal to or more than 5x your bet.
If you choose to gamble, you pick between two wheels. One offers the chance to add a third to or double or triple your prize. The other comes with the opportunity for up to 20 free spins. If the pointer lands on green, you win; on red, you lose.
Free Spins
3 scatters = 10 free spins
4 scatters = 15 free spins
5 scatters = 20 free spins
The wild symbol will only appear on all of the reels during the bonus round. The top prize for matching five wilds on a minimum bet is 50.00. You can also win between 0.20 and 5.00 for finding fish symbols, with larger fish paying more.
Catch of the Day Review
The graphics of Catch of the Day create the right sort of atmosphere, but they don’t set it apart from other ocean-themed slots. If you like your slots set underwater, that won’t be a problem. We always like to see free spins, but of particular interest is the gamble feature, which has a quite distinctive format that makes a refreshing change from the traditional flipping a card. It could “inspire” you to try more Inspired Gaming demo slots.
