Graphics & Sound
When it comes to providing high quality graphics and great theme-related sounds, Microgaming does not lack any of these factors. They strive to provide players the most awesome graphics and true-to-life sound effects which make any online slot game play truly fun and exciting. Most players state that they love online slot games that are run by Microgaming because they always have impressive animated symbols and attention-grabbing yet non-intrusive sounds. In Alaskan Fishing, players are taken to the rich waters of Alaska, where players will get to experience the exciting, adrenaline-pumping activity of fly fishing. The symbols are drawn realistically adequate and in perfect detail. Even the buttons such as Coins, Bet Max and Spin are designed to perfectly suit the theme of the game. Awesome animated programming will be seen on the symbols when you manage to hit winning combinations with them. The overall graphic design of Alaskan Fishing shows the great outdoors of Alaska, with the reels somewhat submerged in the clear and icy waters of the Alaskan lake.
The constant background music you will hear in this game is a relaxing country music mainly played by a guitar, accompanied with sound effects of chirping birds. When you form winning combinations, short celebratory sounds (this time by an electric guitar) are programmed to rejoice in your wins. When you trigger the Fly Fishing Bonus Feature game, you will surely love the realistic sound effects as you try to catch fish and win some hefty bonus prizes!
Game Symbols
There are no card deck symbols available in the Alaskan Fishing online video slot game. The regular symbols that you will see in the Alaskan Fishing online slot game are the Fishing Trophy, Fishing Reel, Fishing Boat, Fly Fishing Lure, Float Plane, Bald Eagle, Salmon, Alaskan Fish, the Kodiak Bear, and of course, the Fisherman.
The Wild Symbol is the Alaskan Fishing Logo symbol. It acts as a substitute for all other symbols (except for the scatter symbols) in order to help you complete a winning combination. When you are able to get winning combinations with multiple Alaskan Fishing Logo wild symbols on an active pay line, you will be given varying prizes (refer to the Payout table).
It is entirely possible for you to get up to 4 or more Alaskan Fishing Logo wild symbols to appear simultaneously on a single reel, which makes up a “Stack” of Alaskan Fishing Logo wild symbols. The Alaskan Fishing Logo wild symbol can be a Stacked Wild, and it can increase your chances of winning, by massively substituting for other symbols in order to help you complete numerous winning combinations!
In Alaskan Fishing, there are 2 Scatter Symbols – the Tackle Box and the Fisherman scatter symbols. Scatter symbols mean that they do not need to appear in a line (on an enabled pay line) for you to win.
• The Tackle Box scatter symbol can be scattered anywhere on the 5 reels for you to complete winning combinations, as long as there are 3 or more Tackle Box scatter symbols that appear. Your winnings are calculated by multiplying the Tackle Box scatter symbol combination payout (refer to the Payout table) by the total number of coins you’ve bet.
If you get 3 or more Tackle Box scatter symbols (found anywhere on the 5 reels), you will trigger the Free Spin Bonus Feature game.
Please take note that if you get a scatter win and a regular win, then you are paid out for both of these wins, because the Tackle Box scatter symbol is not required to come out on an enabled pay line for you to win. Scatter awards are independent from pay line awards, thus they are added to the pay line win.
• The Fisherman symbol actually has 2 roles in the Alaskan Fishing online slot game – it can be a regular as well as a scatter symbol, and it can appear anywhere on 5 reels. If you manage to get Fisherman symbols to appear on the 1st and 5th reels simultaneously, you will trigger the Fly Fishing Bonus Feature game.
Please take note that the Fisherman symbols that appear on the 1st and 5th reels do not give out any winnings, but they allow you to enter and play the Fly Fishing Bonus Feature game.

Bonus Feature
Alaskan Fishing offers players 2 cool and fun Bonus Feature games, and what’s really cool about it is that you can trigger these two Bonus Feature games simultaneously!
• Alaskan Fishing Free Spin Bonus Feature Game – If you manage to get 3 or more Tackle Box scatter symbols that come out anywhere on the 5 reels, you will trigger the Free Spin Bonus Feature game.

While playing the Alaskan Fishing Free Spin Bonus Feature game, you can re-trigger the Free Spins by just getting 3 or more Tackle Box scatter symbols (anywhere on the reels), which will award you another set of 15 Free Spins! The additional Free Spins are included to your remaining number of Free Spins. There is an infinite amount of Free Spins that one can win during the Alaskan Fishing Free Spin Bonus Feature game.
Please take note that you can trigger the Fly Fishing Bonus Feature game even during the Free Spin Bonus Feature games; however, the Free Spin multiplier will not multiply the winnings you will win during the Fly Fishing Bonus Feature game. Also, if you manage to successfully trigger the Free Spin Bonus Feature game and the Fly Fishing Bonus Feature game simultaneously, the Fly Fishing Bonus Feature game will be played first, and after that the Free Spin Bonus Feature game will be played next.
Once the Alaskan Fishing Free Spin Bonus Feature game is over, you will be then taken back to the main Alaskan Fishing online slot game, and your winnings from the Free Spin games will be included to your overall balance.
• Fly Fishing Bonus Feature Game – If you manage to get the Fisherman symbol to come out on the 1st and 5th reels simultaneously, you will trigger the Fly Fishing Bonus Feature game.

Your wins will have multiplier values varying from 2x up to 15x on your total bet.
Please take note that you can trigger the Fly Fishing Bonus Feature game even during the Free Spin Bonus Feature games; however, the Free Spin multiplier will not multiply the winnings you will win during the Fly Fishing Bonus Feature game.
