Fish 'n' Nudge sends a Fisherman Wild after Fish Instant Prizes caught in four-high Net overlays that slide down the reels between spins. The main choice is whether to stay with standard spins or use Push Bet or a Bonus Buy where the casino offers them.
Demo availability may vary by location. You must meet the legal age in your jurisdiction; the free-play button does not record acceptance.
Fish 'n' Nudge is a medium-volatility video slot from Push Gaming, released on 10 October 2023. The studio describes a 5×4 grid with 20 paylines, Net overlays that nudge down one row per spin, Fish Instant Prizes from 0.5× to 1,000×, a Fisherman Wild collector, unlimited Free Spins, Push Bet and Bonus Buy.
This card follows the studio page, the in-game help text, the listed RTP builds of 94.38% and 96.40%, and the attached demo. It is not a report of played cash sessions.
For adults of legal gambling age in their location. Set a budget you can afford to lose.
Listed RTP builds span 94.38%–96.40%. This card stores 96.40% as the displayed RTP and both ends of the published span. Medium volatility is the studio label used here.
Line wins need three or more matching symbols from the leftmost reel on one of 20 paylines; only the highest win per line is paid. The four Fish tiles pay together as one line symbol and also carry Instant Prizes from 0.5× to 1,000× the bet. The Fisherman is a Wild for every paying symbol except Bonus and Net, and he is also a collector.
Nets that slide down the reels
Net Symbols are overlays that land as vertical stacks of four in both the base game and Free Spins. A Fish inside a Net pays its prize at once; a Fisherman inside a Net collects every visible Fish prize, and a Fish that sits in a Net with him pays both ways. After the wins, each Net nudges down one row on the next spin until it leaves the reels.
Who Fish 'n' Nudge suits
This card suits readers who like collection mechanics with a visible timer on the reels. It is less suited to players who want a fixed Free Spins count or line wins boosted by the bonus multiplier.
Best for
Players who track moving Net overlays and Fish prize values
Readers comparing state-driven Free Spins with fixed-count bonus rounds
Anyone weighing Push Bet’s 20% surcharge against standard spins
Not ideal for
People who need a known number of Free Spins up front
Players expecting the Free Spins multiplier on line wins
Anyone treating Push Bet or Bonus Buy as a shortcut to profit

How Fish 'n' Nudge rules and features work
Unlimited Free Spins with a nudge multiplier
Three, four or five Bonus scatters start Free Spins with an initial multiplier of ×1, ×10 or ×25. Reels 2 and 4 open filled with Nets. Each nudge adds +1 to the multiplier, which applies only to Fish Instant Prizes; the final nudge that clears the last Net adds nothing. New Nets can land and also nudge, and the feature ends only when no Net remains.
Push Bet and Bonus Buy
Push Bet raises the base bet by 20% to make Free Spins more likely, while wins are still calculated on the base bet. Where the casino allows it, Bonus Buy offers four entries: three, four or five scatters with ×1, ×10 or ×25 starts, or a random scatter count. The cost and RTP of each buy are shown in the loaded game. Wild yes, free spins yes, Bonus Buy yes.
How to play Fish 'n' Nudge responsibly
Unlimited Free Spins, a 20% Push Bet and four Bonus Buy entries can stretch a budget faster than the base stake suggests. Set money and time limits before spinning, count Push Bet spins at 1.2× the base bet and budget every buy at its full stated cost.
01.
Budget Push Bet at 1.2× the base bet
Ten Push Bet spins cost twelve base bets even if no Bonus symbols land. Count every boosted spin toward the stop limit.
02.
Set a time limit for open-ended bonuses
Free Spins have no fixed count and end only when the last Net leaves the reels. Decide in advance how long a session may run.
03.
Cap Bonus Buys before the first purchase
Read the stated Feature Cost on the loaded panel, set a maximum number of buys and do not buy again to recover a short feature.
Symbols and Paytable
The Fisherman Wild and the pink tackle box top the paytable, followed by the rod and reel, four Fish tiles that pay as one group, green and purple lures and four shells. Bonus scatters and Net overlays sit outside the paytable and drive the features.
Fisherman Wild
Wild and collector: substitutes for every paying symbol except Bonus and Net, and inside a Net collects all visible Fish prizes. Preview cells at the 0.50 demo bet: 20.00 / 5.00 / 1.25.
Tackle Box
Top regular paying symbol, a pink box full of tackle. Preview cells at the 0.50 demo bet: 20.00 / 5.00 / 1.25 for five, four or three on a line.
Rod and Reel
High paying symbol. Line wins need three or more from the leftmost reel; preview cells at the 0.50 demo bet read 15.00 / 3.75 / 1.00.
Golden Fish
One of four Fish tiles that pay as one group on lines (preview 10.00 / 2.50 / 0.50 at 0.50) and carry an Instant Prize collected by a Net or the Fisherman.
Red Fish (large)
Fish tile; any mix of the four Fish counts as the same line symbol. Its Instant Prize pays only when a Net or a Fisherman in a Net collects it.
Red Fish (smiling)
Fish tile with an Instant Prize from the help-file list of 0.5× to 1,000× the bet. In Free Spins the running multiplier applies to that prize, not to line wins.
Red Fish (small)
Fish tile. A Fish inside a Net pays its prize at once and, if a Fisherman also lands in a Net, pays again through his collection.
Green Lure
Mid paying lure. Preview cells at the 0.50 demo bet: 5.00 / 1.00 / 0.40 for five, four or three from the leftmost reel.
Purple Lure
Mid paying lure below the green one. Preview cells at the 0.50 demo bet: 3.75 / 0.75 / 0.30.
Pink Spiral Shell
Low shell symbol. Preview cells at the 0.50 demo bet: 0.75 / 0.30 / 0.10, matching the orange scallop.
Orange Scallop Shell
Low shell symbol sharing the pink shell’s preview cells of 0.75 / 0.30 / 0.10 at the 0.50 demo bet.
Teal Clam Shell
Lowest shell tier. Preview cells at the 0.50 demo bet: 0.50 / 0.20 / 0.10 on a line from the leftmost reel.
Blue Spiral Shell
Lowest shell tier alongside the teal clam: 0.50 / 0.20 / 0.10 preview cells at the 0.50 demo bet.
Fish 'n' Nudge RTP, volatility and maximum win
Push Gaming lists two Fish 'n' Nudge RTP builds, 96.40% and 94.38%, with medium volatility; the attached demo loads the 94.38% build. This card stores 96.40% as the displayed RTP and 94.38%–96.40% as the published span. The in-game help prints a separate figure for Push Bet play, and each Bonus Buy entry carries its own RTP on the loaded panel. Confirm the figure on the information panel before real-money play. RTP is a long-run mathematical setting for a stated configuration, not a forecast of how long Free Spins last or how often the 10,000× round cap is reached.

How to interpret the numbers
Key point 1
Medium volatility does not make Nets frequent. Fish can land outside any Net and pay only as line symbols, and three Bonus scatters can stay away for long stretches.
Key point 2
On a phone, open the bet panel and check whether the Push Bet toggle is green before spinning. Read the Bonus Buy costs on the loaded screen rather than assuming a price.
Key point 3
Push Gaming lists 94.38% beside 96.40%, and the attached demo runs the lower build. Check the information panel before real-money play; a lobby may run either configuration.

Fish 'n' Nudge compared with other games
Big Bass Bonanza also sends a fisherman Wild after fish values, but only during free spins on a 5×3, ten-line grid, with retriggers earned by collecting Wilds. Fish 'n' Nudge lets collection start in the base game through moving Net overlays and runs Free Spins until the last Net leaves. Shared fishing imagery does not copy grid size, trigger rules or bonus length.

Three to five Bonus scatters start Free Spins at ×1, ×10 or ×25 with Nets on reels 2 and 4; every nudge adds +1 to the multiplier on Fish prizes.
The 10,000× cap and Fish prizes are base-bet multiples. A prize won on a Push Bet spin is not scaled up by the extra 20% outlay.
Three to five Scatters start Free Spins with fisherman Money collection and level retriggers; Buy Free Spins is shown at 100× total bet on the attached frames.
Shared Oranje branding does not make another title’s free-spins or jackpot rules apply here.
Three or more Bonus symbols open Free Spins; Chance x3 raises trigger odds; Buy Bonus opens the feature directly where offered.
A familiar BGaming Buy Bonus button does not make another title’s Wild stages or Fish rules apply here.
Explore Push Gaming games
When comparing, ask whether collection works outside the bonus, what ends the Free Spins, and whether the bonus multiplier touches line wins or only collected prizes.

Treat neighbouring fishing and collector titles as a shortlist, not as proof. Shared fisherman Wilds do not copy Net movement, trigger multipliers or the 10,000× cap.
