Bob Marlin Goes Deep Demo Play Free Demo Slot

Game Overview

Unless you’ve been living on a desert island for the last few years, you’ll have noticed there’s been somewhat of a fishing-themed slot invasion across the iGaming industry, and I’m here to tell you that it’s not stopping yet. Yes, that can only mean one thing, another game to review, which today is the Bob Marlin Goes Deep slot from Yggdrasil Gaming. So, get ready for expanding reels, special symbols, and wins that can reach a maximum of 3,905x the bet.

Theme & Design

Yggdrasil has hardly broken the mould with the design of Bob Marlin Goes Deep, and whilst it’s not a particularly bad-looking slot, it’s hardly breaking from the norm and just has a rather generic feel to it from my point of view. I do have a bit of sympathy, as there’s only so much you can do with this theme that hasn’t been done before, but if you continue to add games in a category that’s massively oversaturated, I guess you have to be prepared to take a little bit of criticism onboard.

As I touched upon in the introduction, there are literally now dozens of fishing slots to choose from, but if you wanted to check a couple of releases that slightly differ from the norm, take a look at Elk Studios’ Fish and Bird and the Fish ‘n’ Nudge Big Catch slot from Push Gaming.

Bob Marlin Gameplay & Features

Yggdrasil Gaming’s Bob Marlin Goes Deep initially features a 5-reel, 4-row matrix, offering 1,024 ways to win and an RTP of 96.80%. Players can choose to enter the gameplay from a minimum of €0.10 to a maximum of €125.

As the game begins, you are awarded a new player fish bonus, which adds a few fish to the meter by the side of the reels, but more of that later. Once you get the reels spinning, your main aim is to land bonus symbols, as they will unlock a new row at the bottom of the reels (maximum of 3), potentially giving you a maximum of 16,807 ways to win.

If you land 3 bonus symbols, the regular feature will trigger, and you’ll be awarded 10 free spins played on the full-size playfield of 5 reels and 7 rows. However, if you collect all of the fish to the sides of the reels (which can only appear on the 3 extra rows in the base game), the Collection Free Spins will be activated, which is again played on a full-size playfield, but this time, super high-value paying symbols will be in play.
