Catfish Hunters

About Catfish Hunters

Catfish Hunters is a 5x3, 243 ways slot from Nolimit City, built around Fish symbols that only pay when they land inside moving Electrical Frames. It sits in the studio's Hunters series and is rated at the very top of the volatility scale.

The setting is a catfish trip on the Mississippi, with a cast of five characters (Bubba, Karen, Cletus, Stacy and Granny) who each turn up as a different Wild. Every Fish win doubles a Global Fish Multiplier that can reach 1024x, and three tiers of Free Spins carry that multiplier forward. Stakes at Midnite start from £0.20 per spin.

How to Play Catfish Hunters

Pick your stake and spin. Regular symbols pay from left to right when three or more match on adjacent reels, across 243 ways. At the start of each spin, one or more Electrical Frames appear in random positions. Any Fish symbol that lands inside a frame pays its value, which ranges from 0.25x to 100x bet, and the Global Fish Multiplier then doubles.

The xWays symbol can reveal a regular symbol in a stack of two to four, adding extra ways, or a single Imposter Wild or Fish. Imposter Wilds turn into one of the five character Wilds, each with its own effect on frames, Fish or the multiplier. Landing three, four or five Bonus Scatters triggers the matching Free Spins round. Full rules and pay values are in the in-game help screen.
