Award-winning TaDa Gaming is kicking off 2026 with a polar adventure in Fortune Hook Antarctic. The jolly fisherman from Fortune Hook and Fortune Hook Boom is back for more in this three rows, five reels slot with 20 fixed paylines for 5,000x max win. 

A freezing sea is filled with warmly dressed Fish Money Symbols for bonus payouts and two different Fish Scatters can trigger the Free Game and the Super Free Game. 

The fisherman Wild will substitute in the main game and bring multipliers from 2x to 50x in the bonus games when he appears alongside Fish Money Symbols. A Fishing Pot collects the Scatters with each spin for a random additional opportunity to trigger the Free Games.

Well-dressed fish with individual multiplier values are the Fish Money symbols. The Blue Hat fish will give 1x-2x and the Green Hat fish 5x-10x. The Purple Scarf wearing fish is worth 15x-20x while the Red Scarf fish raises the game with 50x-200x. 

Unsurprisingly, the Golden fish with the gold trapper hat is the big catch. With multipliers from 500x, 1,000x to a spectacular 2,000x, don’t let him be the one that got away! Payouts are dynamically based on wager and symbol value.

The colourful Fish Scatter and the gold Fish Super Scatter will only appear in the main game and could appear in every round. Three Fish Scatters will trigger eight free games: four Scatters give 12 free games and five Scatters bring 16 free games. The Super Scatter will trigger the Super Free Game.

In the bonus games, the progression meter is a black and white photo montage of the Fisherman Wild at the top of the screen. Each additional winning collection of Wilds will upgrade the bonus game, enhance the multiplier and turn the photo into colour as players progress.

Three Wilds bring multipliers of 2x; six Wilds for 3x; nine Wilds for 5x; 12 Wilds for 10x and finally, the 50x bonus multiplier is triggered with 15 Wilds. Each win will also re set the free games’ counter by three.

In the Super Free Game, collecting just two Wilds will upgrade the game to the next level.

The polished visuals and smooth animations are enhanced with non-stop humour and witty designs, such as fishing pot filling with fish, the penguins who pop out of their igloos to reveal each bonus or the Ice Block Free Spins counter, all adding to the cinematic feel of Fortune Hook Antarctic. 

Sean Liu, Director of Product Management, TaDa Gaming, said: ‘Fortune Hook Antarctic has hidden depths! Mixing the thrill of progression with random bonus triggers and generous accumulative multipliers has huge player appeal across all levels.’

Available in over 15 languages with 100+ currency choices, Fortune Hook Antarctic isavailable to play globally from 20th January 2026.
