How to play Old Fisherman (members only)

Wins are paid when matching symbols land on an active payline, usually left to right starting from the leftmost reel. Your total stake is spread across the lines, and each line win is the line bet multiplied by the symbol's paytable value.

Old Fisherman is played on a 5×3 grid with 20 paylines.

Set your stake. Choose your total bet per spin. 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.

How winnings work (members only)

What 96.11% RTP costs per $100 wagered

What 96.11% RTP means

Expected return = stake × 96.11%
Over $100 of total bets, the long-run average loss is $3.89

RTP is a long-run average across millions of spins. Any single session can finish far above or below it, especially on a high volatility game.

Features explained (members only)

2 features explained: free spins, gamble feature

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.

Gamble feature

After a win you can risk it on a double-or-nothing guess, such as the colour of a card. It does not improve the game's long-term return.

Strategy tips (members only)

Size your stake to the volatility. High volatility concentrates the return in rare, large wins. Long losing runs are normal. Keep stakes small (around 1% of your session budget or less) so you can ride out the swings. A simple rule: bring at least 300 spins' worth of budget, so a $50 budget suggests a stake of about $0.17.

3 more tips and a session planner

Check which RTP version you're playing. Gamomat offers this game at 96.11%, 96.07%. Open the game rules at your casino and prefer sites running the 96.11% version.
Bonus wagering: at 96.11% RTP, clearing $1,000 of wagering costs about $38.90 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.
