Like a good day out on the waters catching bass, there is nothing too complicated about Floats My Boat. Beyond the standard win mechanic success hinges on two things – money symbols and free spins. This is how they work:
Money Symbols
Money Symbol are represented by the fish and they will display a random money value of 0.2x, 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x or 50x. Randomly after any spin ALL the visible money symbols may be collected and paid out.
Fish always land with money values displayedBut there is a further twist as a bonus multiplier may be randomly applied to the win as well – 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 20x, 30x, 40x or 50x.
Free Spins
The big money game in Floats My Boat is the free spins round triggered by landing 3, 4 or 5 scatter symbols on one spin. That gets you 10, 15 or 20 free spins.
2 Scatters land in testing triggering a re-spinOne of the exciting elements of this game is that Pragmatic Play have built in an extra chance of triggering the free spins round if you land only 2 scatters on one spin.
- If the 2 scatters can drop one row each without falling off the reels then they do so and the remaining reels spin to give you a chance of landing a 3rd. But remember, if one of your 2 scatters is on the bottom row, this feature doesn’t trigger. The both have to be on one of the top 2 rows.
- Or, a random octopus appears and moves across the reels, selecting one symbol that he turns into a scatter to set up the free spins round.
The octopus bringing random symbols to the reels in testingThe free spins round is the best part about this game and potentially the most rewarding. This is how it works:
- When a fisherman wild lands on the reels he collects the value of all visible money symbols
- Every position on the reels has a 1x multiplier at the start of the round. Whenever a money symbol lands on a position its multiplier increases by 1x
- Before the fisherman wild collects money symbol values they are multiplied by the value displayed on the position they have landed on
- Fisherman wilds are collected throughout the round and paid out when it finishes
- Every 4th fisherman to land will earn you 10 more spins
So … in simple terms, your objective is to keep landing fish money symbols to push up the multiplier values on the reels, then wait for a fishermen wild to drop and collect all the money!
