Epic Fish: Net of Fortune Demo with Net Respins and Three Free Spins Rounds

Every Fish has a price, and only a Wild can cash it

Fish are leaping salmon on blue cards, each printed with an amount at the current stake. The help screens tie it to three fish sizes without listing values. Our log puts small Fish at 1x or 3x the bet, middle ones at 5x, 8x or 10x and the largest at 15x or 25x.

That amount is paid only when a Wild, the old fisherman in a yellow cap, is in view, and each Wild collects every Fish. Of 287 base screens with Fish in our log, 267 had no Wild and paid no Fish value. On lines, three Fish pay 0.8x and five Wilds 150x, the paytable's top prize.

Net Respins hold each new Fish until none arrive

A Wild landing with a Fish can start the Net Respins, at random in the base game: both lock, the rest spins again, and each new Wild or Fish locks too. The help screen ends the chain when no new Fish lands, the game page when neither lands, and the log agrees with the first: four respins that added only a Wild ended their chains.

Of 20 base screens with a Wild and a Fish, ten went into respins and ten paid at once. Spin 14 began with one of each, and four respins later eight Fish worth 59x lay beside a second Wild, each Wild took them all, and the spin paid 118x.

Six Wilds upgrade the round, twelve upgrade it again

Bonus boats land in the base game only. Three start Perfect Catch with 7 free spins, four Fish Frenzy with 8, five Fisherman Legend with 9. A meter counts new Wilds: the 6th lifts the round a level and adds a spin, the 12th does it again, and with no retrigger no round passes 9 spins.

Each level adds one trick, the shoal of Fish Frenzy and then the sticky Wilds of Fisherman Legend. In our log no natural round went up a level: the best of seven Perfect Catch rounds reached five Wilds, and two Fish Frenzy rounds began at 6 and ended on 9 and 11.

Up €246.70 after 500 spins, Extra Bet never switched on

Logged on 28 Oct 2026 at €1.00 with no buy, our 500 paid spins brought back €746.70: 149.3%, a return no other session on this site has matched.

• 500paid demo spins at €1.00
• 20.4%of them paid something
• 147.4xbest spin, free spins round included
• 9free spins bonuses triggered

Of the €746.70, free spins paid €417.50, base spins with Net Respins €203.10, Fish without respins €67.00 and lines €59.10. Two rounds made up 35% of it: 147.4x on spin 199, a Fish Frenzy with Net Respins on four of its 8 spins, and 113.2x on spin 372, where four Wilds met five Fish worth 28x in one free spin for 112x.

Hits came on 20.4% of spins (sheet: 20.84%), and no dry run passed 20. Three wins of at least 100x in 500 spins, against the sheet's one in 1,162, were luck.

45x, 100x or 250x: the price sets the opening round

The red boat opens one card per round. Only the 45x help text says "at least 3" Bonus symbols; neither the odds of a better round nor any buy RTP is published.

No buy level works with Extra Bet.

Quickspin prints no RTP for Extra Bet, so those percentages measure frequency only. Our €45.00 buy landed three Bonus boats and 7 spins of Perfect Catch.

Most of the win came on the first free spin: three Wilds, a Fish worth €3.00 and €5.00 in lines. Net Respins added Fish of €3.00 and €5.00, and each Wild took all three, €33.00. The meter stopped at three of the 6 Wilds an upgrade needs, and two later line wins of €1.10 and €1.20 made €40.30, €4.70 short of the price. In our log seven of nine natural rounds paid under 45x, and the two Fish Frenzy rounds 41x and 147.4x.

Two neighbours on this site, and the rest of the series

By listing dates Epic Fish Adventure came first, in September 2024, with Howard Spinsson and a red seaplane, and Marlin Madness and Winter Catch followed in 2025. None of the three is reviewed here.

Fire Tale also pairs Extra Bet with three buys, priced 15x, 40x or 75x against 45x to 250x here, and stops any round at 5,000x.

In Reel Nightmare, another 5x3 game on 10 lines, Wilds stick through every free spin, while here only Fisherman Legend holds them.

Which of the three ways in we would pick

On paper this is a base-game slot. The sheet credits the base game, random Net Respins included, with 53.64% of the RTP and all three rounds together with 42.46%.

We would start there, Extra Bet off, then buy one 45x round to watch the meter. Sticky Wilds come only with Fisherman Legend, for 250x, five Bonus boats or 12 Wilds on the meter. The demo runs 96.10%, while a casino may have 94.19%, 92.07% or 85.13% installed, and in some markets Extra Bet or the buy levels are not offered.
