Extra spins come from fishermen rather than Scatters: every fourth Wild collected adds a batch of 10, three batches at most. Counted are bonuses that gained at least one batch, 37 of 89 natural and 14 of 50 bought; a 15-spin start from four Scatters is not an extension.

How it plays
7 rules screens from the game
This Christmas edition from Reel Kingdom spins five reels in four rows across 12 fixed paylines, counted from the leftmost reel. The snowmobile rider is worth most, 200x the bet with five of a kind, and alone among the symbols it also pays for a pair, 0.5x; the ice rod gives up to 100x, float and tackle box up to 50x each, and the cards A to 10 reach 10x.
Fish are a paying symbol as well, 1x for three and 5x for four, while five of them pay the sum of their cash values. Those values range from 2x to 50x the bet in seven steps, plus a rare 4000x fish, and only a fisherman in free spins can collect them.
Wherever they land, three Scatters award 10 free spins, with five extra for each Scatter beyond the third, so 20 is the most; with two in the base game a hook can haul in the missing third. During the feature the fisherman is a Wild on every reel and takes all fish values in view. Each fourth fisherman queues another 10 spins behind those still left and lifts the collect multiplier to x2, then x3, then x10, after which no spins are added. Random hooks can also pull the reels up to show Wilds and fish, and fish may drop in when only one or two Wilds landed.
EXTRA CHANCE OF SCATTERS changes the bet multiplier from 12x to 18x, adds Scatters to the reel strips and switches BUY FREE SPINS off; it stayed off here. Purchasing the round outright costs 100x the base bet, which came to USD 180 at the series stake of USD 1.80, and its RTP is 96.07% against 96.08% for normal play and the switch. Volatility is medium, the rules list bets from USD 0.12 to USD 360, and a round that reaches 4,000x the bet ends at once.

Verdict
Five bonuses climbed to x10
Round 141 paid 957.5x the USD 1.80 stake, USD 1,723.50, after fifteen fishermen over 40 free spins. The twelfth arrived on spin 25, which put the last ten spins at x10, and on spin 38 one Wild took a 50x fish and a 2x fish for USD 936.
Four more natural bonuses also ran the full 40 spins, rounds 3616, 6226, 6908 and 9238, and the five paid USD 4,222.80 together, 20.57% of what the 10,000 ordinary rounds returned. The other 9,995 rounds gave back 90.65% of their stake. The best purchase followed the same route: ticket 38 reached 17 fishermen and 40 spins and returned USD 2,124.90, 11.805x its price.
Fishermen took 96.5% of natural free spins money, line wins inside the feature the remaining 3.5%. The 4000x fish was on screen on four natural free spins and never met a Wild; the largest fish a fisherman collected was 50x.
At the other end, 52 of the 89 natural bonuses ended at 10 or 15 spins because no fourth fisherman came, with a median of 38.25x. Those 52 rounds paid USD 4,237.20, 20.64% of the series payouts, almost exactly the sum of the five that climbed to x10.

- Ticket 38 gathered 17 fishermen over 40 spins and returned 11.805x its price
