Fish 'n' Nudge Big Catch

Push Gaming followed up its original Fish 'n' Nudge with Fish 'n' Nudge Big Catch, built on the same 5x4 grid and 20-payline layout but dialled down to a low-volatility setting this time around. Stakes span 0.10 to 100 per spin, and switching on the optional Push Bet lifts the stake by 20% in return for a better shot at triggering the bonus.

Low-value seashells - three of them - sit alongside a pair of hooks, with fish, rods, tackle boxes and lighthouses forming the higher end of the paytable. Five matching symbols across a payline pay 1x to 20x the stake depending on where they land in that ranking. A Fisherman wild appears on every reel, paying the same as the lighthouse and standing in for anything except a scatter or a Net.

Fish 'n' Nudge Big Catch keeps the Net, Fisherman and Fish trio from the original game, with much the same job to do: Nets are four-symbol overlay blocks that creep down the reels a position at a time after each spin, Fish symbols carry hidden prize values between 0.5x and 100x the stake, cashed in the moment one settles inside a Net symbol, and the Fisherman doubles as a collector - landing in a Net sweeps every visible prize into the total, Net or no Net.

What's new is what happens once free spins start. Three or more scatters get the round going, with four or five scatters adding a starting reel multiplier of 5x or 10x. Reels two and four begin the feature already carrying Nets, and above each reel sits a Lock Meter holding three locks. One lock clears per spin; once a reel's meter empties, its Net symbols begin nudging down, one step for every spin that follows. During this feature the reels show nothing but blank spaces alongside Boost, Boat, Fisherman and Fish symbols, and Boost symbols push that reel's multiplier meter up by one step before wins are counted. Boat symbols reset or activate the Lock Meter depending on what's already on the reel - refilling it to three locks and dropping in a fresh stack of Net symbols if none are there yet, or simply resetting the lock count if a meter is already running. The round keeps going as long as any reel still holds Net symbols.

Buying in directly costs 68.6x, 209.5x or 359x the stake for a 1x, 5x or 10x starting multiplier, or 180x for a random outcome. With a 96.46% top RTP, alternate settings down to 85.65%, and a 3,094x ceiling on the maximum win, Fish 'n' Nudge Big Catch arrived in July 2025 as the gentler-natured sibling to Push Gaming's original fishing release.
