A fishing trip with collecting buckets
Smokey is by the water in a fishing hat, orange inflatable armbands and yellow boots. A lake, green hills and conifers frame the wooden grid; hooks and a float hang from its sides, with fish resting above it. The surroundings are relaxed, although the raccoon still looks thoroughly intent on business.
Fish, anchors, baited hooks and yellow hats continue the theme on the reels. Letters and numbers remain easy to separate from feature symbols. Attention soon shifts to the Golden Squares: these positions decide where the cash appears and whether a bucket can reach it.
The symbols and their jobs
- Regular symbols
- Fish, anchors, hooks, hats and card symbols form paying clusters. Their individual payouts are listed in Game Info.
- Coins
- Coins reveal amounts as multiples of the bet. The rules show bronze, silver, gold and diamond varieties.
- Rainbow and Epic Rainbow
- A Rainbow reveals marked squares. Epic Rainbow reveals special symbols on every position without needing a full set of marked squares first.
- Green and Gold Clovers
- Green affects nearby coins and existing collectors; gold covers the grid. Multipliers act before collection.
- Bucket
- Collects coins and activated buckets in the surrounding 3 × 3 area. Landing near an edge reduces the area available to it.
- Global Bucket
- Collects coins and activated Bucket/Global Bucket values across the grid. Prizes need not be beside it.
- FS
- The bonus trigger. Three, four and five FS select different rounds, rather than simply adding more of the same spins.
How the catch comes together
Wins leave Golden Squares. A Rainbow reveals coins, clovers and buckets there; an Epic Rainbow reveals special symbols across the entire grid.
A regular Bucket covers the surrounding 3 × 3 area. Global Buckets collect across the grid, including already activated collectors.
The Big Catch Bar strengthens Rainbows during bonuses. Higher rounds keep activated squares or hold the bar at its highest level.
Buckets activate from top to bottom, left to right. An activated bucket does not collect again, although its stored value can enter a later collector. Cleared Golden Squares reveal new special symbols, so let the entire sequence finish before reading the result.
How the feature works
Reveal the catch
Wins leave Golden Squares for a Rainbow to reveal. Epic Rainbow reveals special symbols across the entire grid, rather than only the marked positions.
Check which bucket appears
A regular Bucket collects nearby prizes. Global Bucket reaches the whole grid, including collectors that have already activated.
Follow the bucket order
Buckets activate from top to bottom and left to right. Each works once, but a later collector can take its stored value; cleared Golden Squares can reveal again.

Three rounds with the Big Catch Bar
All three rounds begin with ten free spins. Their differences lie in how long Golden Squares survive and how the Big Catch Bar behaves. The spin count alone does not explain the upgrade.
On Thin Ice
3 FS
Three FS start ten free spins. Winning positions stay marked until a Rainbow activates them. The Big Catch Bar strengthens Rainbows during the round, making the bar as relevant as the growing group of Golden Squares.
Slippery When Wet
4 FS
Four FS start ten free spins with the Big Catch Bar. Activated squares remain marked, so a Rainbow does not erase the accumulated golden area. This persistence is the key change from On Thin Ice.
Smokey Under Water
5 FS
Five FS open the hidden epic round with ten free spins. The Big Catch Bar is already at its highest level and stays there for the bonus. There is no need to build it up to that level first.

Game questions
Why did a Bucket miss a distant coin?
Its reach is the surrounding 3 × 3 area. A Global Bucket reaches the other positions; the same visible total need not produce the same collection.
Can one bucket collect another?
Yes, activated buckets can be collected. The earlier collector does not run again; its stored amount passes into the next one.
What changes with Epic Rainbow?
Special symbols are revealed across every position immediately. The feature then uses the same activation process for multipliers and collectors.
Why three bonuses if each gives ten spins?
On Thin Ice keeps squares until activation, Slippery When Wet keeps them afterwards too, and Smokey Under Water holds the Big Catch Bar at its top level.
