Nice Catch 2 DoubleMax in Demo Mode

The Nice Catch 2 DoubleMax slot takes the fishing theme underwater, moving away from the Original Nice Catch DoubleMax beachside setting. Developed by Yggdrasil Gaming, it features it’s unique mechanic, where multipliers double with every win, creating huge payout potential.

This Nice Catch 2 DoubleMax slot machine can surprise you with huge wins — just as it did for me — but at the same time, it can disappoint with its somewhat repetitive gameplay hidden behind colorful graphics. In this review, I’ll break down whether the thrills outweigh the monotony of this fun fishing slot.

I played, analyzed the mechanics, and figured out the most effective strategy to win. Keep reading to discover my insights and the strongest features of this slot.

You’ve got 6 reels and 729 ways to win by matching symbols left to right. Bet from $0.10 to $40, with high volatility meaning big wins, up to 10,000X your bet, but not too often. The DoubleMax feature adds multipliers (up to 32X) that grow with fish symbols, especially in free spins where they don’t reset. Fisherman grabs fish cash (1X–100X), Diverwoman starts Hold & Spin with chests, and 3+ scatters give 8–20 free spins. If you're impatient, you can also play Nice Catch 2 DoubleMax with Bonus Buys for 100X or 500X your bet.

Well, when it comes to features, Nice Catch 2 DoubleMax slot machine is truly rich:

• DoubleMax Multiplier — above each reel, multipliers start at 1x and double with each winning fish symbol, reaching up to 32x in the base game. These reset between spins but stay active in free spins mode.

• Catching Fish — fish symbols carry cash values, but they’re only collected when the Fisherman lands on reel 5. If he appears, he gathers all visible fish prizes.

• Free Spins — triggered by three or more scatters. And the biggest advantage —  multipliers don’t reset, leading to massive potential payouts.

• Hold and Spin — when the Diverwoman lands on reel 6, she triggers Hold & Spin, where chest symbols lock in place, respins reset with each new chest and multipliers can boost winnings.

• Bonus Buy — for instant action, the Bonus Buy option grants direct access to free spins.

These features are quite engaging, but they trigger rarely. If you don’t see them often, you’ll likely get bored.

Let’s talk numbers because, in a high-volatility slot like this, they matter. Nice Catch 2 DoubleMax RTP is 96.03%, which is solid. The high volatility means you might go through long dry way before landing a big win. The key takeaway? Patience is essential (surprisingly, as always).

The real excitement kicks in with the 10,000x max win, but reaching it isn’t easy. During my testing, regular base game spins often felt underwhelming, with small wins barely covering the cost of a spin. But once the bonus features kicked in — especially the DoubleMax multipliers and Hold & Spin mechanic — things changed fast. That’s where the true payout potential lies. And if I previously mentioned that the base game feels a bit dull, the bonus round can definitely shake things up.

I started with a balance of 11,000 free credits and a bet of $2 per spin. As I mentioned earlier, the base game feels pretty dull on its own, but the bonus rounds add some short-lived excitement. I triggered the bonus only once, and it gave me $30. Overall, the game feels quite monotonous. However, the max win of 10,000x your stake still keeps you on edge. I didn’t buy the bonus round because it's not worth the price. It's better to roll on lower bets and hope for the bonus rounds. The minimum bet of $0.10 is perfect for that strategy.

One way or another, I’m sure many of you will enjoy this game. If that’s the case, I highly recommend trying other Yggdrasil Gaming casino game — they have plenty to surprise you with.

1. Play with Low Bets — start with the minimum bet to extend your playtime and increase chances of triggering bonus features without risking too much.

2. Wait for Bonus Rounds — the key to big wins is landing bonus rounds. Regular spins can feel repetitive, so patience is needed for the bonus to trigger naturally.

3. Avoid Buying Bonuses —  buying the bonus round for 100x your bet isn’t always worth it. It's better to roll on low bets and wait for the bonus to come up on its own.

4. Focus on Hold and Spin —the Hold and Spin feature with the Diverwoman symbol can boost your winnings significantly. Keep an eye on it for multiplier opportunities.

5. Try the Demo Mode — test the game in demo mode to understand how the bonus features work and develop a feel for the game before playing with real money.
