How to Play Fishin’ & Crabbin’

Fishin’ & Crabbin’ is a video slot from Iron Dog Studio, set across 5 reels with 4 rows each. The game includes 10 paylines that run from left to right. Bets start at £0.20 per spin, and the maximum bet per spin is £4.00. Payline wins form when identical symbols appear on consecutive reels, starting from the leftmost reel, following an active payline. Wins on several paylines are totalled and paid according to the total bet and the paytable.

All aspects of gameplay, symbols, and special features adhere strictly to paytable rules, with the current RTP displayed within the game interface.

Symbols and Winning Combinations

• The reels feature an assortment of standard and special symbols, including single, double, and triple Fish and Crab symbols.
• Combinations featuring any mix of single, double, or triple Fish symbols result in a three-of-a-kind payout, determined by the lowest-value Fish symbol present in the combination. For example, a payline with two single Fish symbols and one double Fish symbol pays the same as a line of three single Fish symbols.
• The Crab symbols work in the same way—mixes of single, double, or triple Crab symbols pay as a 3-of-a-kind, based on the lowest-value Crab symbol in the combination.

Wild Symbols

• Wild symbols can land on any of the five reels.
• Wilds substitute for all non-special symbols, helping to form winning combinations.
• If a sequence of Wilds is interrupted by a special symbol, the win is calculated according to the paytable.

Hold & Win Feature

The Hold & Win round enhances the game with a dynamic bonus event:

• The feature begins when either Fish or Crab Pot symbols trigger a shower of matching symbols onto the reels.
• During this round, only the type of symbol corresponding to the triggering Pot appears:
  • If activated by a Crab Pot: only single, double, or triple Crab symbols can land.
  • If activated by a Fish Pot: only single, double, or triple Fish symbols can land.
• You start the Hold & Win bonus with 3 respins.
• Every time one or more new feature symbols land on the board, the respin counter resets to 3.
• When symbols land:
  • Symbols stick in place for the duration of the feature.
  • If an identical symbol type lands in a position already occupied by the same symbol type, the symbol upgrades to the next highest level:
  • A single Fish landing on another single Fish upgrades the position to a double Fish symbol.
  • A single Fish on a double Fish upgrades it to a triple Fish symbol.
  • A double Fish landing on a single Fish also upgrades to a triple Fish symbol.
  • A double Fish on another double Fish results in a triple Fish symbol.
  • Triple is the maximum level for both Fish and Crab symbols.
• The same upgrade mechanics apply to Crab symbols.
• The Hold & Win feature ends if the respin counter reaches zero or if the board is filled with max-level symbols.
• All symbol combinations are evaluated and paid according to the game’s paytable once the feature concludes.
