Yggdrasil showcases the catch of the day in Nice Catch 2 DoubleMax™
Leading iGaming publisher Yggdrasil is reeling in the nets to reveal multiplier mayhem in its feature-filled, fish-focused slot Nice Catch 2 DoubleMax™.
This highly anticipated sequel can see players win up to 10,000x by way of a Hold & Spin bonus, free spins, Fish symbols and the popular DoubleMax mechanic.
Whenever the Diver lands on the 6th reel and chest symbols are in view the Hold and Spin bonus will trigger. This awards three spins with any chest symbols resetting the count. Landing a full reel of chests will activate the multiplier, which is doubled if the Diver reappears.
If three or more bonus symbols land on the reels players will receive at least eight free spins. Players can opt to gamble for more spins immediately after the bonus is triggered. Should a Fisherman or Diver land on the reels during free spins, an additional spin is awarded and the multiplier prize is doubled for the duration of the feature.
Fish symbols can land on any reel and have a value ranging from 1x the bet to 100x the bet. Fish prizes are only collected by the fisherman on reel five. Landing these from left to right on consecutive reels will unlock the DoubleMax multiplier. The DoubleMax multiplier is unlimited and will apply to all wins during that spin.
Players can jump straight into the bonus game by paying 100x their bet to trigger free spins with three or more bonus symbols, or 500x to trigger 20 guaranteed free spins.
Mark McGinley, Chief Gaming Officer at Yggdrasil, said: “Following up from our angling adventure, Nice Catch 2 DoubleMax takes everything that made the original great and adds a number of lucrative features and mechanics such as the Hold and Spin bonus, to truly make it a fishing fiesta for all.”

Allwyn Gives National Lottery Players More Ways to Win

Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, is giving players more ways to win outside of the main National Lottery games and draws – with new and varied promotions driving further value and excitement.
So far in 2024, Allwyn launched a EuroMillions Valentine’s Day campaign, which, in addition to making 14 UK Millionaires also saw 14 lucky ticket-holders win a trip for two to the Maldives.
This was supported by a tongue-in-cheek, multi-channel campaign – which featured tie-ups with TikTok travel influencers – that brought to life how National Lottery players could seriously upgrade their Valentine’s Day if they scooped one of the amazing prizes on offer. This special event attracted 400,000 more digital players compared to the previous comparable draw.
And, in a first for The National Lottery, the company is currently running a weekly special £10k prize draw. Running over nine weeks, players are entered into the weekly draw by spending £10 or more on National Lottery draw-based games (such as Lotto, EuroMillions, Set For Life and Thunderball) online in the week (between Monday and Sunday).
The £10 spend takes into account people who play by draw-based games by Direct Debit and play in advance for future draws – so the spend doesn’t necessarily have to be for draws in the week itself, as it’s calculated by when the transaction is processed.
And the excitement doesn’t stop there, as the special £15 million “Must Be Won” Big Easter Bank Holiday Lotto Jackpot on April 19 (Saturday) saw three new millionaires created, after three lucky ticket-holders matched five main numbers and the Bonus Ball to win £1.06 million each. As no-one matched all six main numbers, the jackpot rolled down – boosting all prize tiers.
Allwyn’s Marketing & Brand Director, Steve Parkinson, said: “Since the beginning of the year, we’ve been looking at some fun and unique ways to attract new National Lottery players and re-engage former ones. These are delivering further value for players – giving them more to play for – and are creating talkability. Of course, by playing National Lottery games, players raise more than £30 million every week for Good Causes – so this really is a win-win.”
