Hacksaw Gaming has released Marlin Masters, a new slot game that is all about fishing in the open seas in pursuit of elusive marlins. While players will not get to keep the fish they catch in the game as a trophy, the real trophy here is a top prize of up to 7,500x the bet.

An Unforgettable Fishing Trip
Catching a marlin is the peak test of a fisherman’s skills. In its new game, Hacksaw Gaming has embraced this challenge, turning it into a hot slot action. The game promises to “teach players to fish” and “feed them for a lifetime,” and, while the former claim is questionable, the game’s top prize can certainly keep one fed for a long time.
The game features various fishing-themed symbols, such as the titular marlins, pikes, and other coveted fish species. A fisherman symbol can appear across all reels, offering a value of up to x20 and collecting all marlin symbols present on the grid. Depending on the bet level, marlin symbols’ multiplier can reach up to 1,000x.
In addition to being able to be collected by Fisherman symbols, marlin symbols can form Lootlines. When 3 or more marlin symbols land in a winning payline combination, a Lootline is formed. Its payout is determined by the values of marlin symbols participating in the combination.
Free spins (FS) symbols also appear in the game, taking the form of crates full of fishing supplies.
Three Bonus Rounds Spice Up This Maritime Action
Speaking of free spins, collecting three or more FS symbols will trigger one of three bonus games: Reel It In!, Off The Hook!, and Plenty Of Fish in the Sea.
Reel It In! is triggered with three FS symbols and offers 10 free spins featuring a Marlin Progress Bar and upgrade levels. Off The Hook! starts when four FS symbols are collected, offering 15 spins with an extra powerful Marlin Progress Bar. The final bonus, Plenty Of Fish In The Sea, goes off when five FS symbols are collected. It offers 10 free spins where all Marlin symbols have a value of at least 5x. In addition to that, every spin guarantees that there is one Marlin symbol and one Fisherman symbol.
