Epic Fish Marlin Madness Demo (Quickspin) Slot Demo & Review

Game Overview

Unless you’re entirely new to the online slot scene, you’re going to have played countless fishing-themed slots already. That does beg the question as to why we need more, but here we are yet again in the Epic Fish Marlin Madness slot from developer Quickspin, where special symbols and a free spins bonus round could net you wins up to a maximum of 7,673x the bet.

Theme & Design

You don’t need to be Sherlock Holmes to work out what you’re going to be faced with once opening up Epic Fish Marlin Madness. Yes, you guessed it; we’re out on a fishing lake with the reels of the game placed just below the surface of the water. This is a relatively generic design for a fishing slot, but in fairness to Quickspin, there isn’t too much different that you can do in this niche, is there?

Like most slot studios, Quickspin already has entries into the fish-slot genre, and if you’d like to get more acquainted with their offerings, I’d suggest taking a look at the game that inspired today’s release, titled Epic Fish Net of Fortune. Those wanting to cast their line out to a different game provider should look no further than Fishin’ Frenzy The Big Splash from Blueprint Gaming, one of the most played online slots here on our platform.

Epic Fish Marlin Madness Gameplay & Features

Epic Fish Marlin Madness is a 10-payline game played over a 5×3 reel matrix with an RTP of 96.12%. The betting structure begins from a minimum stake of €0.10 per spin and reaches a maximum of €100.

Okay, time for the features, and unlike many slots in the fishing category, the fisherman in Epic Fish Marlin Madness will collect all fish cash symbols in the base game when they land simultaneously. Furthermore, if a wild is on the reels, a Shark Attack can happen! The shark will then eat one or more low symbols and replace them with fish. The fisherman will then collect the fish values and add them to your bankroll.

Onto the main bonus round, and there are 3 variations of the feature. These are the standard Black Marlin Free Spins, triggered when 3 scatters hit; the Nudge Up Free Spins, activated when 4 scatters land; and the Hooked Free Spins, initiated when 5 scatters land within the playfield. All of these bonus rounds play out similarly, with the only difference being how active the black marlin fish is. Oh, another big plus point here is that each time the black marlin does hit, its current value increases, up to a maximum of 5,000x.

Bonus Buy

Quickspin has included an extra bet and bonus buy feature into the gameplay. These are:

• Extra Bet: Doubles the size of the current bet and increases the chance of landing a bonus round.
• Bonus Buy: Players can purchase the Black Marlin spins for 45x, the Nudge Up spins for 100x, or the Hooked spins, for 200x the bet.
