Reel 'em in! Lobster Potty Slot Machine

Reel 'em in! Lobster Potty is a Barcrest video slot released in 2017, offering gamblers a 5x3 playing field with 20 fixed paylines. Players can wager between £0.20 up to £500 per spin. The game has two special features — Reel 'em in and Lobster Potty — both activated by the same random mechanic. Big Bet offers additional rewards including more Wilds and the Big Bite mechanic which applies multipliers to Wilds.

The game is all about fishing. A fisherman floats on his boat above the waves while small fish swim beneath them. The reels share the backdrop colour but are not transparent. Three lobsters displayed above the reels are central to the Lobster Potty feature.

Symbols include generic playing card icons J, Q, K and A, a yellow fish, an orange fish, and the Reel 'em in logo as the highest-paying symbol. The Wild is a picture of water with the word Wild written over it. There is no dedicated Scatter, but a sandy background indicates an incoming feature.

Gameplay and Features

Both special features are triggered entirely at random when all five reels turn sandy. This awards either the Reel 'em in bonus or the Lobster Potty feature. In Reel 'em in, after an initial cash win, one reel is highlighted and only fish symbols can appear on it — each fish rewards a cash prize. Occasionally a blank space or a boot may appear: a blank does nothing, while a boot ends the feature and lets you collect all accumulated wins. The Lobster Potty feature selects between the bronze, silver or golden lobster and rewards the appropriate prize.

Big Bet gives players more Wilds and with the Big Bite feature applies a multiplier to those Wilds — a 2x multiplier for a £30 Big Bet or a random 2x to 10x multiplier for the £50 Big Bet.

The largest jackpot is 500x your wager, awarded by the golden lobster. The RTP is 94% for bets below £2, 96% for bets above £2, and 98% for Big Bet spins.
