Fishmongers Bass Bomber

GameTimeTec's (click HERE) 2026 release starts on a familiar 5-reel setup with 25 fixed paylines, but the interesting part is what happens when the Nets begin to land. A catch can pay immediately through the Collect Feature, or become the foundation for a Free Spins Bonus where five separate baskets are waiting to see how much bigger it can get.

Bets range from 0.20 to 100 FUN; the maximum win is 2,500x your bet. The game affords players with clean and smooth play on smartphones as well as online.

One small slip is worth noting: GameTimeTec shows the RTP as 96.4%, yet the game rules state an RTP of 94%. It is worth checking the RTP shown at your casino before you start playing. ( Learn more about RTP HERE)

Theme and Symbols

Crystal-clear blue water, palms and an open tent make this look like somebody found an excellent place to spend the afternoon. The ship waiting nearby for the baskets suggests there may still be some work to do.

The game is inspired by fishing and the dream of a big catch. The birds soar through the sky, while the submarine glides along, seemingly indifferent, as you spin the reels.

Colourful sea creatures and familiar card ranks fill the reels, while a tackle box acts as the Wild, substituting for regular paying symbols but not Nets or the Collect symbol.

TheCollect Feature gives the fishing theme something useful to do. Blue Nets can carry values from 1x to 250x the total bet, and landing a Collect symbol alongside them awards the combined values. 

Get at least one Blue Net onto every reel, though, and apparently this catch is too good to send straight home. The Free Spins Bonus takes over instead.

Betting Options and Special Features

The Free Spins Bonus begins with 10 spins and one clever piece of continuity: your catch becomes your starting point. Five reels become five Catch Baskets, and each basket begins with the combined value of the triggering Blue Nets beneath its corresponding reel. Nothing caught on the way in is wasted.

Then the coloured Nets get involved.

Green adds its value to one corresponding basket. Orange shares the generosity across all five. Purple multiplies one basket by 2x, 3x, 4x or 5x, while Red multiplies every basket by 2x or 3x. One or all. Add or multiply. Five baskets may start the trip together, but there is no guarantee they'll grow equally.

The Progressive Free Spins Bar gives you another reason to watch what lands. Every FS symbol moves the progression one step forward, and every fourth reaches a reward level. The first two unlock 5 extra Free Spins apiece, while the final level adds 10. While the baskets accumulate value, the bar works toward unlocking more time to build them.

For players unwilling to wait for five reels to cooperate, theBuy Bonus costs 100x the total bet and provides direct access to Free Spins. ( learn more about the Buy Bonus HERE)

Conclusion

This online slot knows that landing the catch is more interesting when you still have something to do with it. The Collect Feature can turn Blue Nets into immediate rewards, but the Free Spins Bonus asks a better question: what can you build from the catch?

Five baskets give you five answers, special Nets keep changing them, and the Progressive Free Spins Bar can buy the one thing every fisherman eventually wants more of: time.

Bigger catch? No problem. Hope for a Purple Net and see just how much bigger one basket can get.

The fish may have taken the bait. That doesn't mean your work is done. 

The ship is waiting. How much are you taking back?
