Slot Overview

Rabid Randy Gone Fishing is a new NetEnt video slot that does away with the hunting vibe seen in previous instalments in the series, instead taking on a pond-side fishing theme! It’s built around a Hook Wild that can trigger Walking Respins, Wild Interactions, and Jackpots, but with a non-jackpot maximum win potential of just 2,591x, is Randy actually worth meeting again? Let’s find out.

Gameplay & Bonus Features

Rabid Randy Gone Fishing uses a 5-reel, 4-row setup with 25 fixed paylines. Wins are formed from left to right. You can bet from €0.20 to €120 per spin, and the game’s default RTP is 96.03%.

Now, in the base game, the Hook Wild is the core mechanic. It can land on reel 1 only, and when it does, it triggers Walking Wild Respins. With each respin, the Hook Wild moves down one position until it drops off the grid. This is very similar to what we saw in NetEnt’s Jack and the Beanstalk.

When another type of Wild lands on the same row as the Hook Wild, it can trigger a horizontal fill between the two, a full-reel vertical expansion, or a random wild that places extra wilds onto the reels.

There are also two collection-style mechanics. Cash prizes can land on reels 2, 3, and 4, and when they do, they award a random instant win prize of up to 15x. Chests can also land on reel 5, and when they line up with the Hook Wild, they award either free spins, the jackpot game, or an instant win of up to 100x. The Scatter also appears only on reel 5 and triggers 7 free spins when it lands on the Hook Wild’s row; during free spins, the Hook Wild expands to cover the entire leftmost reel, and additional Scatters award +3 free spins.

Finally, there’s the Jackpot game, triggered by landing the Jackpot symbol on reel 5 and on the same row as the Hook Wild. Here, you can win a variety of cash prizes, and there are also 5 progressive jackpots: Mini, Midi, Mega, Super, and Giga.

Bonus Buy

Like many of NetEnt’s latest releases, Rabid Randy Gone Fishing also contains three Elevate options:

  • Hooked Spins: Costs 10x and guarantees a Hook Wild on every spin.
  • Jackpot Fishing: Costs 15x and takes you into the Jackpot round with one cash prize guaranteed.
  • Free Spins: Costs 70x to instantly trigger the Free Spins bonus with 7 spins.

Theme & Design

Rabid Randy Gone Fishing is designed around a cartoon-like vibe, and you’ll see Randy himself at a quiet fishing spot, looking weirdly half-mad and weirdly half-determined!

The game uses a mixture of traditional playing card values, including 10, jack, queen, king, and ace, and mixes them with theme-specific ones like fish and pond-related icons.

If you played any of the previous Rabid Randy games, the original Rabid Randy and the later spinoff, Rabid Randy Dark Trails, you’ll notice some similarities, but, as we said, there are some core differences here.

Pros

  • Hook Wild Walking Respins keeps the base game quite engaging.
  • Multiple features can trigger at once.
  • Five-tier progressive jackpot mechanic.

Cons

  • A lot of key bonuses rely on reel 5.
  • Low-non-progressive jackpot maximum win potential of 2,591x.
  • Bonus Buy option is unavailable in some regions.

Final Thoughts

Rabid Randy Gone Fishing is one of the most feature-packed NetEnt games we’ve seen for a while, and despite a LOT of reservations about the software provider in recent years, we feel this is, at least, a slight step in the right direction. We like how the studio has taken one core mechanic - Hook Wilds - and tied it into Respins, Expanding Wilds, and Cash Prizes.

For us, the best win potential is found inside the free spins. We like the fact that the leftmost reel makes it a lot easier to line up rows and increases the chance of you landing the Jackpot game within the feature.

For us, Rabid Randy Gone Fishing is best suited for players who like structured “bonus hunting”, and if you like the added perks of progressive jackpots and don’t mind that the non-progressive jackpot win sits below 10,000x, then yes, it’s a lot of fun. Just know what to expect, and set your expectations accordingly.
