Gus Goes Fishin' is a medium-high-volatility online slot from iSoftBet with an RTP of 96.00%.
Isoftbet takes its Gold Digger mascot out of the mine and puts him on a boat for Gus Goes Fishin', trading pickaxes for a rod beside a pastel Tahitian shoreline. The scene is built around light-blue water, white sand, and a swaying coconut tree, with an upbeat, laid-back soundtrack running through every spin, and Gus himself works the rod at the edge of the reels throughout the round.
Play takes place on a 5x3 grid with 20 fixed paylines, and stakes run from 20p up to €20 per spin. A Big Catch side bet is also available, raising the wager by half in exchange for better odds of triggering the game's modifiers and Deep Spins. Four card royals form the low-paying symbols, while a tackle box, a boot, a starfish, and a baited can make up the four premiums; five-of-a-kind wins pay 1x to 4x the stake on the low end and 5x to 20x on the high end. Gus doubles as both Wild and Collect, substituting for every symbol except the fish icons and the scatter.
The fish themselves function as money symbols, paid out whenever they land alongside the Wild/Collect on a spin. Blue Fish carry values of 1x to 10x the bet, Big Fish pay out 25x on a Mini catch, 50x on a Major, and 100x on a Mega, and Sticky Golden Fish are worth 1x to 10x but only appear once the Deep Spins round begins, where they lock in place until the feature ends.
Three separate modifiers can strike on any paid base-game spin. Reel 'Em In lets Gus scoop up loose fish icons on a spin that has at least one but no Wild/Collect present. Big Catch attaches a random multiplier of x2, x3, or x5 to everything the spin pays, fish values included, and can land in the same spin as Reel 'Em In. Bonus Boost adds an extra scatter to the reels when two or more are already showing, nudging the round toward Deep Spins.
Landing 3, 4, or 5 scatters awards 8, 10, or 12 Deep Spins respectively. Every fish gathered during the round fills a meter that unlocks a running multiplier of x2 at 8 fish, x5 at 16, and x10 at 24, applied to every fish value collected afterward, Sticky Golden and Big Fish included. A second meter tracks Wild/Collect symbols, handing out four extra spins each time the count reaches 5, 10, and 15.
Two bonus buys sit alongside the natural triggers. Paying 60x the stake guarantees 3, 4, or 5 scatters land without an accompanying win, while 200x buys the Golden version, guaranteeing all 5 scatters plus a Sticky Golden Fish already present when the round begins. Across its various configurations the RTP moves between 96% and 96.02% depending on whether the side bet or a bonus buy is in play, and the medium-high volatility keeps Deep Spins as the main source of the game's bigger payouts.
