Fishin’ for Gold Slot Review

Usually one would be digging for gold but why not try fish for it too? Every time I have tried digging for gold all I ever found was a worthless rock until I found a tattered looking bag with something in it. After much excitement I realised that the bag was an old KFC packet with chicken bones left in it.

Gameplay

Fishin’ for Gold is a 5x3 reel, 25 payline slot powered by ISoftBetsoftware. The symbols include Royal Card Suit symbols (J-A), an Old Boot, Bucket of Fish, Penguin and Polar Bear. Special symbols include the Gone Fishin’ symbol, Golden Fish Bonus symbol that triggers the Fishin’ for Gold Bonus Game where you will fish for Free Spins and symbols that become Wilds in the Free Spins Feature. There is also a Bonus Chance Feature. More detail will be given in the Features section.

The Sound and Information icon is found at the bottom left of the reels expanding to the Payouts, Bet and Autoplay menus.On the right of the reels are the Autoplay, Spin and Bet buttons. Below the reels are your Balance and Bet windows.

Features

Features in Fishin’ for Gold include Wilds, Gone Fishin’ Symbol, Golden Fish Bonus symbol that triggers the Fishin’ for Gold Bonus Game where you will fish for Free Spins and symbols that become Wilds in the Free Spins Feature, and the Bonus Chance Feature.

The Wild symbol only appears during Free Spins and replaces any other symbols, except the Gone Fishin' symbol, to form winning combinations. Wilds can have a win multiplier attached: 2x, 3x or 5x. The multipliers are multiplicative of each other.

Landing 3 Golden Fish Bonus Symbols on Reels 2,3 and 4 will trigger the Fishin' For Gold Bonus. During the Fishin' For Gold Bonus round you have to choose your fisherman and start the hunt for gold. Catching Golden Fish Bonus symbols will award you Free Spins, and the other symbols caught in the Bonus Round will become Wilds during the Free Spins Feature.

During Free Spins Feature any symbols caught in the Bonus Round are Wild, and will appear as golden symbols. Every 3 Gone Fishin' symbols that land during the Free Spins Feature awards 2 extra Free Spins.

Unique Features

Landing 2 Golden Fish Bonus symbols will boost the Bonus Chance Meter. You can spin the wheel at any time for a chance to trigger the Bonus. The more Bonus symbols collected the greater the chance to trigger the Bonus. In other words if you land 2 you can play immediately but your chances are very slim, the more Bonus symbols collected the higher the chance.

Conclusion

I’m not that great at fishing in the real world but it seems like in the reel world, fishing can be quite rewarding. Just note that although this game looks all cutesy, it does have high volatility, so like normal fishing one needs to have patience in order to be rewarded. The last time I went fishing all I caught was an expired coupon for Fish and Chips, go figure.
