Microgaming casinos that offer this game often allow players to play a free version, where they can better understand the game and how to play it. Only players who actually wager money on the game are eligible to be rewarded a payout however, and since the game has 243 possible payouts, many players opt to go straight to the real money version. When making a wager on the game, players use coins of denomination ranging from $0.01 to $0.05. The jackpot in this game is worth 500 coins, and the second jackpot is worth 400 coins.
Alaskan Fishing has a number of different special features, which include an American second screen bonus as well as an Australia free spin bonus. In addition, there is a wild symbol and a scatter symbol. The wild symbol, which is the Alaskan Fishing symbol acts as a substitute for all regular symbols in the payout table, and completes a winning combination. When the player has five wild symbols on a single activated payline, he/she is awarded 500 coins, which is the jackpot. When the wild symbol appears four times on the payline, the player is awarded 400 coins, which is the second jackpot. The scatter symbol is the Tackle Box symbol, which does not have to appear in any one payline, but can be scattered anywhere in the reel. When this symbol appears three or more times, it rewards the player with a payout worth up to 100x the initial triggering wager. When the scatter symbol appears three or more times, the free spin bonus game is triggered, and the player is awarded 15 free spins. During this bonus feature, all the winning combinations have double their regular payout.
When there are two or more Fisherman symbols on any of the reels, then the Fly Fishing Bonus Feature game is triggered. This is a second screen bonus, and the player is taken to a screen where there are nine fishing positions displayed. The player then has the chance to choose five of these positions, each of which reveals a bonus prize amount. This game allows the player to win a number of multiplier values, which range between 2x and 15x the initial triggering bet.
