Game Overview
I’m all set to dig into 4ThePlayer’s latest 4,096 payway game, ‘4 Fantastic Fish in Egypt’! Being from the land of the Pharaohs, these superstars of the undersea domain are most likely based in the Nile, although I’m sure they can afford as many humpback whale trips to Europe and the States as they please with their 15,000x maximum jackpot! The RTP of 96% is bang on the industry average, but be sure to check out the rule page for a whole bunch of interesting statistics regarding your chances of hitting certain high-value combinations.
I’m honestly amazed that I managed to get through that first section without once complaining that this is yet another fishing-based slot, but there’s a good reason for this – check out these features! The four ‘money symbols’ in this game have payouts ranging between 100x and 10,000x – no piddly little prizes to be found here! So how do you collect these amazing prizes? Via the re-spin feature triggered by hitting three bonus scatter symbols anywhere on the reels… and that’s not all! The sarcophagus scatter will award one of four amazing bonus features whenever just one of them appears anywhere on the screen – more on those later!
So, are you excited to spin the most lucrative and exciting fishing-themed slot yet? If so, our free demo slot of 4 Fantastic Fish (In Egypt) is available to play below!
4 Fantastic Fish In Egypt Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
Just how many fans of fishing are also into playing online slots? I’d love to see an accurate Venn diagram of this, as the slot developers clearly believe that there is a significant amount of overlap! We’ve recently added Lucky Fishing Megaways and Shark Frenzy to our review library, sitting alongside the endless string of Fishin’ Frenzy and Big Bass Bonanza online slots pumped out by Blueprint Gaming and Pragmatic Play, respectively. In my opinion – and I’m honestly being objective here – this game looks so much better than the majority of its competitors. The main symbol and backdrop visuals are expertly drawn, but it’s the animated fish that swim by now and again which give this game a touch of class which you just don’t tend to find in too many online slots.
The fisherwoman is the most valuable of the regular symbols, awarding 10x your total bet whenever a full payway of six of a kind forms anywhere on the reels. A very Egyptian-looking duck is next, awarding 4x your bet for all six of his symbols. I must add that the duck looks very happy – I hope he hasn’t eaten any of the fantastic fish! There’s also a fox symbol with a 4x payout for a complete payway, after which we get a reel and fishing tackle, with both of these worth 3x the bet for all six symbols. Lastly, we’re onto the royals, which have payouts ranging between 1.5x and 2.5x the total bet for a six of a kind combination.
4ThePlayer has allowed us a respectfully wide range of betting options in 4 Fantastic Fish in Egypt – low rollers will be thrilled to hear that they can play for as little as €0.10 per spin, whilst those with fatter wallets can play for as much as €80.00 per round if they aren’t worried about needing to re-mortgage their house once they have finished their session!
Base Game & Modifiers
The base gameplay of 4 Fantastic Fish in Egypt takes place on a six column, four row playfield with 4,096 payways. As mentioned earlier, the rules page of this game provides all sorts of fascinating information about all aspects of the game, but I especially love the fact that they provide data on the average results of every set of 100 spins.
Fish Symbols
During the base game, the high-paying fish symbols will occasionally appear with a prize label attached to them. Should this occur, any winning combination that forms featuring these symbols will add the prize stated on the label to your regular paytable win.
An interesting aspect of this feature is that the potential prize that a fish symbol can award is determined by which reel it lands on. The first reel is the least generous, with potential fish cash prizes between 0.1x and 1.8x the total bet. Move over to reel six, however, and this increases to between 10x and 50x!
Big Game Fish Symbols
These super-special fish symbols can only appear on reel six, but you’ll want to keep a look out for them – every big game fish that lands can award one of four ‘big game’ prizes if it is involved in a winning payway.
Giant Squid Modifier
The giant squid modifier may activate during the base game before any spin. When this occurs, he will re-arrange the visible high-paying symbols to ensure you win. During the re-spin bonus (see below), he has even better abilities to boost your winning opportunities.
4 Fantastic Fish In Egypt Slot Bonus Features
4 Fantastic Fish is bursting at the seams with special features! You’ll need to hit at least three re-spin scatters to trigger the re-spin bonus round, but the way that this feature works means that every additional scatter above the minimum of three is extremely valuable in terms of your prospects of hitting a big win whilst the bonus round is active.
Respin Feature
When the re-spin feature is activated, each reel that contains a triggering scatter symbol will be ‘open’, whilst the remaining reels will be ‘closed’. Things then work much like any other three-spin feature we have seen in many previous online slots.
All triggering fish symbols will remain locked in place for the duration of the feature, and any further fish symbols that land during your re-spins will also become locked – provided that they land on an open reel. However, if a re-spin scatter symbol lands on a closed reel during a re-spin, that reel will be unlocked, giving additional positions for fish symbols to land.
Like any other three-spin feature, if three consecutive spins pass by with no fish or re-spin symbols landing on the reels, the feature will end. Thankfully, your ‘life counter’ is reset back to three whenever one of these symbols lands on the reels.
Sarcophagus Features
This special symbol will open to reveal one of the following special bonuses:
- Squid Icon: Triggers the Giant Squid Modifier, which will move valuable fish symbols from closed reels to open ones on your behalf!
- Shark Icon: The shark will appear with a multiplier value and then apply this to all collected prizes. Next, a new skeleton money symbol will be generated with the total value of all multiplier symbols. It will then position itself at the top of the reel where the shark symbol initially landed.
- Collect Icon: All visible money symbol values will be collected together and positioned as a special symbol on the playfield.
- Incrementor Icon: This is potentially the most valuable symbol of all – whatever money label is attached to the incrementor sarcophagus will be added to the value of all other visible money symbols. The original value of the incrementor icon will also be added to your total win at the end of the re-spin feature.
Bonus Buy
The bonus feature sound great, don’t they? If you want to try them out straight away, you can do so by paying 30x the total bet for the Sarcophagus bonus or 75x for the re-spin bonus. These seem like absolute bargain basement prices to me, which makes it all the more frustrating that I can’t take advantage of them, thanks to living in the United Kingdom!
Pros
- The graphics and animations are gorgeous – these developers really do have some amazingly talented artists!
- Great maximum jackpot of 15,000x the total bet.
- Loads of unique ideas, features, and twists on known concepts.
Cons
- You’ll need to spend quite a bit of time with this game to truly understand all of its features. It’s definitely worth it though!
Final Thoughts
Another fantastic machine by 4ThePlayer – these guys are just smashing it with every release, and once again, I can’t wait to see what they come up with next!
