How to play Catfish Hunters (members only)
Instead of fixed lines, matching symbols on adjacent reels pay in any position, starting from the leftmost reel. The more matching symbols there are on each reel, the more ways the combination pays.
Catfish Hunters is played on a 5×3 grid with ways to win.
- Set your stake. Choose your total bet per spin between $0.20 and $100. Wins are paid as multiples of this stake.
- Check the paytable. Open the game's info screen to see what each symbol pays and the exact rules for this version.
- Spin. Each spin's result is decided by a certified random number generator, independent of previous spins.
- Trigger the bonus. Land the required scatter symbols to start the free spins feature.
- Optional bonus buy. Where permitted, pay a fixed price to start the bonus directly.

How winnings work (members only)
What 96.03% RTP costs per $100 wagered, the 20,000x max win at a $1 stake
The top prize is capped at 20,000x your stake. On a $1 spin that is $20,000; on $0.20 it is $4,000. When the cap is reached the round usually ends immediately.
Multipliers are applied to wins as they land; in many games several multipliers add together or multiply each other, which is where the largest wins come from.
What 96.03% RTP means
Expected return = stake × 96.03%
Over $100 of total bets, the long-run average loss is $3.97
RTP is a long-run average across millions of spins. Any single session can finish far above or below it, especially on a very high volatility game.
The published hit frequency is 30.41%, meaning roughly one spin in 3.3 returns something — though many of those wins are smaller than the stake.
Features explained (members only)
5 features explained: free spins, multipliers, wild symbols, symbol upgrades and more
Free spins
A bonus round of spins played at no cost to your balance, usually triggered by landing three or more scatter symbols. Wins during the round are added to your balance, and many games let you retrigger extra spins.
Multipliers
Multipliers increase a win by a set factor, such as 2x or 10x. They can be attached to symbols, applied to a whole spin, or grow during a feature, and are a main driver of the biggest wins.
Wild symbols
Wilds substitute for regular paying symbols to help complete winning combinations. They do not normally replace scatter or bonus symbols.
Symbol upgrades
Lower-paying symbols are transformed into higher-paying ones during a feature.
Bonus buy
Lets you pay a fixed multiple of your stake to enter the bonus feature straight away instead of waiting for it to trigger. It raises variance considerably and is not available in every country (it is banned in the UK).
Strategy tips (members only)
- Size your stake to the volatility. Very high volatility means most spins lose and a large share of the return comes from rare big features. Treat it as entertainment with a strict budget and a stake of around 0.5% of your session budget or less. A simple rule: bring at least 400 spins' worth of budget, so a $50 budget suggests a stake of about $0.12.
3 more tips and a session planner
- Treat bonus buys as high-risk. Buying the feature concentrates your budget into a few large-variance rounds. Many results return less than the price paid. Read our bonus buy guide first.
- Bonus wagering: at 96.03% RTP, clearing $1,000 of wagering costs about $39.70 on average. Check the bonus terms, as some casinos exclude specific games. Run your numbers in the wagering calculator.
- Set limits before you spin. Decide your loss limit and session time in advance and stop when you reach either. No pattern or betting system changes the outcome of a spin.
