King of the Catch is a vibrant fishing-themed video slot developed by Blueprint Gaming, launched in early 2023. The game features 5 reels and 20 fixed paylines, set against a bright and animated coastal backdrop, bringing the excitement of a championship angling contest straight to your screen.
Blueprint’s distinctive animation style shines through with slick transitions, well-rendered characters, and a fully immersive aquatic theme. Built for desktop and mobile alike, this slot blends accessible design with layered mechanics, making it a visually appealing pick for players who enjoy colourful, bonus-packed gameplay.
If you’re already on the BetVictor site, you’re just a few steps away from casting your first line in King of the Catch. Here’s how to get started:
As for the gameplay itself, King of the Catch is easy to navigate. Use the plus and minus signs near the spin button to adjust your stake. Pressing spin sets the reels in motion, while auto-play allows for multiple spins with pre-set conditions. The layout is intuitive, with all game information, settings, and paytable details clearly available through the menu button.
This slot sticks closely to its theme with every symbol on the reels tied to the world of fishing. Expect to see colourful fish, championship medals, fishing rods, bait boxes, and character symbols like pro anglers. Even the lower-paying symbols – stylised 10 through Ace – are designed to look like shiny fishing gear.
Navigation is smooth, and the layout is clean. Buttons are well-sized for mobile and desktop, and the use of animation feels polished rather than overwhelming.
Here’s how some of the symbol payouts stack up:
Symbol | 3 of a Kind | 4 of a Kind | 5 of a Kind |
Big Fish | 2x | 10x | 50x |
Fishing Rod | 1x | 5x | 25x |
Angler (Male) | 1.5x | 8x | 40x |
Angler (Female) | 1.5x | 8x | 40x |
Medal | 1x | 4x | 20x |
Bait Box | 0.8x | 3x | 15x |
Card Symbols (A-K) | 0.5x | 2x | 10x |
Card Symbols (Q-10) | 0.3x | 1x | 5x |
One of the standout features of this slot is the Wild Boat Reels mechanic. Occasionally during the base game, a boat floats across the top of the screen and drops down letters to form the word "WILD" on the reels. These letters then turn their respective reels completely wild. This can happen on up to three reels at once, significantly boosting potential combinations.
Landing three or more Golden Fish Bonus symbols activates the Championship Free Spins round. The number of free spins awarded increases with the number of triggering symbols, ranging from 8 to 20. During these spins, special collector symbols appear. When these are collected, they can unlock one of three jackpot tiers—Mini, Major, or Mega—each attached to a specific angler character.
If the angling vibe and dynamic features of King of the Catch caught your eye, a few other titles at BetVictor might reel you in just as easily.

For those drawn to multiple jackpots and light-hearted fishing fun, Big Bass Keeping It Reel brings retro graphics with a modern twist.
