reel em' in a bit fishy slot theme, stakes, pays & symbols

Just what is the fascination amongst slot developers and fishing nowadays? It isn’t just the two big name franchises I mentioned earlier (Big Bass Bonanza and Fishin’ Frenzy) – there are dozens of other games available too, featuring such amusing and creative names as “The Rodfather Megaways” and “Fish Upon a Cashpot” – you have to give them 10/10 for effort, at the very least! Whenever a market becomes as saturated as this one, however, it is always going to be challenging to make your game stand out from the crowd. With that in mind, let’s check out the paytable of Light & Wonder’s new game to find out if it’s more than just another fish in the sea.

Starting from the top, the anchor is the highest-paying regular symbol with a return of 10x your bet for each full payway of six-of-a-kind. A life ring is next, sporting a value of 8x the current stake for every full set of six of those you manage to hook. Your trusty fishing hat is worth a respectable 5x the bet for a full payway, as is an old-school fishing net – for those who don’t care for those new-fangled “rods”. The remainder of the paytable consists of four royals with values of either 3x or 1.5x the bet for six-of-a-kind. Unfortunately, the wild and scatter symbols do not pay, but there are the “cash fish” to consider, which can be collected when the rod symbol appears. These have values of 50x, 25x, 10x, or 5x your bet, making them much more valuable than any of the normal line hits.

Wagering options start at a low-roller-friendly €0.10 per spin, with plenty of small steps offered between there and the maximum bet of €20.00 per round. High-rollers may be disappointed with the lower-than-average top bet, but these options should cover most players.

base game & MODIFIERS

The base game uses a slightly extended playfield of six reels of three rows each. This is actually quite an unusual configuration – many games that add a sixth reel will also add a fourth row as well. This is the reason for the unusual number of payways offered here – 729, resulting from a standard 243-way playfield being stretched out one reel and tripling the number of available ways.
