How to Play Le Fisherman

Le Fisherman is played on a 6-reel, 5-row grid created by Hacksaw Gaming, with cluster-based winning mechanics. To achieve a win, land 5 or more matching symbols connected anywhere on the grid. Winning symbols are removed, allowing new symbols to drop down and potentially create additional winning combinations. This cascading process continues until no new wins are formed.

The game can be played with bet amounts ranging from £0.10 to £3.00 per spin. Your current balance is always visible, and you can adjust your bet using the arrows in the BET display. The maximum possible win on Le Fisherman is capped at 15,000 times your bet per game round.

Special Features and Bonus Rounds

Super Cascades

When you land a winning cluster, all regular symbols of that type are removed from the grid, and new symbols fall into the vacant spaces. This can lead to a chain reaction of additional wins before the sequence ends.

Golden Squares and Special Symbols

Whenever a win occurs, the squares beneath the winning symbols become highlighted as Golden Squares. Golden Squares come into play when special Rainbow symbols land on the grid. After collecting all wins, a Rainbow symbol activates any present Golden Squares, revealing special symbols such as Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Diamond Coins, as well as Green or Gold Clover symbols, Bucket, or Global Bucket symbols. An Epic Rainbow symbol reveals special symbols on every position on the grid, following the same activation process.

All Coin symbols grant cash prizes calculated as a multiple of your bet:

• Bronze Coins: 0.2x, 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 3x, or 4x
• Silver Coins: 5x, 10x, 15x, or 20x
• Gold Coins: 25x, 50x, or 100x
• Diamond Coins: 150x, 250x, or 500x

Green Clover symbols multiply all Coin and activated Bucket or Global Bucket symbols on adjacent positions by one of the following multipliers: x2, x3, x4, x5, x10, or x20. Gold Clover symbols multiply every eligible symbol on the grid using the same multiplier range. If Clover symbols appear with no eligible symbols nearby, they remain until Special symbols are present to multiply.

Once the Clover symbols have applied their multipliers, Bucket symbols activate. Each Bucket collects all Coins and activated Buckets or Global Buckets in its adjacent 3×3 area, storing their values. Buckets activate in order from top to bottom, left to right. Golden Squares can produce additional Special symbols after a collection is made, and the process repeats — but a Bucket only collects once.

After all Bucket symbols have acted, any Global Bucket symbols on the grid activate. These symbols gather the values of all Coins, Buckets, and other Global Buckets across the grid, again in a set sequence. Golden Squares will reveal new Special symbols if collected by a Global Bucket, and Global Buckets only collect once.

When all reveals and activations are complete, all Coin and Bucket symbol values are summed and multiplied by your bet to determine your win for that round. All Special symbols and Golden Squares are then cleared from the grid for the next spin.

Special Symbols

Wild symbols stand in for any symbol listed in the paytable. FS, Rainbow, and Epic Rainbow symbols cannot appear together on the same spin.

Bonus Games

On Thin Ice

This bonus round is activated by landing 3 FS scatter symbols at once, awarding 10 free spins. All Golden Squares are progressive and remain on the grid until triggered by a Rainbow symbol. A Big Catch Bar is displayed, increasing by one each time an FS symbol lands. The function of the Rainbow symbol changes depending on the Big Catch Bar level, starting at Level 0:

• Level 1: Rainbow symbols transform into Green Clover symbols when activated.
• Level 2: Rainbow symbols transform into Global Bucket symbols when activated.
• Level 3: Rainbow symbols transform into Gold Clover symbols when activated.
• Level 4: A Rainbow or Epic Rainbow symbol is guaranteed on each free spin, and the Rainbow transforms into a Gold Clover symbol when activated.

Reaching each new Level grants an additional 5 free spins.

Slippery When Wet

This bonus triggers with 4 FS scatter symbols, granting 10 free spins. The mechanics are similar to On Thin Ice, but all Golden Squares are persistent for the duration of the bonus, even after being activated by a Rainbow symbol. When Epic Rainbow symbols activate, only the Golden Squares present before the activation persist. The minimum Coin value in this round is 1x. Advancing a Level on the Big Catch Bar also gives 5 extra free spins.

Hidden Epic Bonus – Smokey Under Water

This bonus begins with 10 free spins by landing 5 FS scatter symbols at the same time. It uses the mechanics of the Slippery When Wet bonus, and the Big Catch Bar starts and remains at Level 4 throughout. FS symbols cannot land during this feature.

Ways to Win

The requirements for a win remain consistent throughout the main game and feature rounds except where specified. Each bet is eligible for all winning combinations. Achieve a win by landing a cluster of 5 or more matching, connecting symbols anywhere on the grid. Every win removes the winning symbols, and new ones cascade down, creating possibilities for continuing wins until no further combinations are present.
