When a slot calls itself Trawler Fishin’, you know it's not promising an afternoon with a rod and a folding chair. No, this one’s got engines running, nets dragging, and eyes peeled for hefty catches. Developed by 1x2gaming, this cartoon-style slot doesn’t try to reinvent the fishing theme, but it does throw a few surprises overboard.
The setup is simple: a 5x3 grid with 10 fixed paylines, set underwater where fish, reels, and prizes occasionally surface. Minimum bets start at 0.10. The reel symbols are straightforward, and there’s a prize mechanic that links to the trawler floating across the top of the game – which is more than just a piece of scenery. Each reel has a prize box above it, and if a fish lands underneath the trawler, you might just hook one of those potential rewards.
1x2gaming, best known for releases like Reel Diamonds and Wolf Strike, tends to dabble in simplicity. Trawler Fishin’ leans into that with bold, cartoony graphics, playful animation, and a soundtrack that’s more seaside arcade than deep-sea dread. It’s not here to stun you visually, but it’s got character – and a little mischief in its mechanics.

The game includes a modest lineup of 8 regular symbols – split neatly between card ranks and sea-themed icons. Payouts start from three-of-a-kind and scale up nicely for the higher-tier symbols. You can check out the complete paytable below:

The Wild symbol – represented by a lifeline – substitutes for any regular symbol and pays out like the highest symbol when forming its own potential combination. It can appear on all reels and even land in stacks.
Hovering just above the reels is a small red trawler, drifting from left to right with each spin. This trawler isn’t decorative – it’s functional. If a Fish symbol lands directly beneath it, the trawler "hooks" the fish, pulling it up and awarding the prize displayed above that reel.
Above each reel is a prize panel showing one of three possibilities:
Only one fish can be caught per reel, and only if it lines up with the trawler. While it sounds random (and largely is), it keeps the spins feeling dynamic.
Catching a fish when the prize above is Free Spins triggers the bonus round. You begin with 10 free spins, but the structure of the feature adds a bit of depth.
Trawler Fishin’ walks the line between a traditional slot and a feature-driven fishing game.

You can find all three titles at BetVictor.
