Game Overview
Well, what can I say? I opened up my in-tray, and what was staring right back at me, you ask? You got it, yet another fishing themed slot that needs a review. This time, through the revolving door of underwater games, we have Inspired Gaming and their Goldfishy Free Spins slot. Stat-wise, this is a 5-reel slot with 40 fixed paylines, a questionable RTP of 93.75% and a maximum win of 2,500x bet.
There’s very little of note in the base game, with the only real talking point being the gable feature that you can choose to toggle on and off. When wins are achieved, you can risk the amount for more money or a shot at the free spin bonus. Speaking of which, a natural feature trigger occurs when scatter symbols land on reels 1, 3, and 5 simultaneously. During this round, only stacked fish symbols and stacked wilds are present on the reels.
There we have it then our trusty followers, another slot to add to every growing niche of fish-related games. If you want to take this one for a few free spins, check out our Goldfishy Free Spins slot demo that’s ready to play below.
Goldfishy Free Spins Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
It was only recently I reviewed Blueprint Gaming’s Big Catch Bass Fishing Megaways, so for the time being, at least, with the releases of Inspired Gaming’s Goldfishy Free Spins slot and a spate of other games from the likes of Jili and their Jackpot Fishing casino game, the fish niche of slots and games seems stronger than ever. How will Inspired’s latest effort hold up against the competition? I guess we should find out, so let’s see what rewards are on offer in the pays section.
The most valuable symbol in the game is the Triple Fish symbol, paying 25x for a five of a kind win. Next is the Double Fish symbol worth 7.5x bet, with the Single Fish following and paying 6x the bet for a complete line of five. Then we have Two Shells coloured green and red, with equal payouts of 5x bet for a full line, followed by the King, Queen and Jack, all sharing payouts of 2.5x bet for a five of a kind hit. The slot also includes a wild symbol, which can only appear on reels 3, 4, and 5. This will substitute for all other symbols except the scatter.
Kicking off the gameplay can begin from €0.20 a spin, with the maximum stake on offer for those who like to high roll capped at €100. There’s a fair amount of options between these values and plenty of choice under the €2 mark, where most punters who choose to play this game will place their bets.
Goldfishy Free Spins Slot Base Game
The action on Inspired Gaming’s Goldfishy Free Spins slot is set over a 5×4 reel matrix containing a total of 40 fixed paylines in play throughout the base game and the bonus feature. Players will need to hit three matching symbols on consecutive reels starting from the leftmost reel first for a win to be awarded. Of course, the matching symbols will also need to land on one of the paylines.
Gamble Feature
You can choose to leave the gamble feature turned off, have it active permanently, or only let it activate when wins of 5x or more are achieved. When gambling any wins, you will be presented with two wheels. The left wheel allows you to gamble for more cash, whilst the right wheel will let you have a shot at triggering the free spins bonus.
Goldfishy Free Spins Slot Bonus Features
The scatter symbols in Goldfishy Free Spins are only present on reels 1, 3, and 5. You’ll need all three to land simultaneously for the bonus round to be triggered, where 8 free spins will be awarded.
Free Spins Feature
When the free spins are activated, only all three premium-paying fish symbols and wilds are on the reels. These are all stacked to give you a better chance of winning. Players should note the free spins bonus cannot be re-triggered.
Pros
- If you like Inspired's £500 machines in the arcades and bookies, it might appeal to you.
Cons
- The low RTP of 93.75%.
- It's almost impossible to make out during the free spins if you have won, as all the fish symbols look too alike.
Goldfishy Free Spins Slot Final Thoughts
I tend to like most stuff from Inspired, as I've played many of their games over the years in the arcades and bookmakers, but Goldfishy Free Spins didn't do anything for me at all.The free spins round is confusing as you can't determine if you have won anything or not, as all the fish symbols look the same. It's fair to say the slot didn't do itself any favours with me either, as the first bonus I triggered whilst reviewing the game paid zero.It's definitely a miss for me this slot and not a game I'd even entertain putting a single penny through. Your thoughts may differ, but there are far better fish-themed slots out there on the market.
