Fishin' Bonanza

Intro

With their common but diverse approach on cartoon-like slots outlook, Ash Gaming and Playtech once again came up with another spectacular product, promising to give a new twist on fishing games and their features.

Outlook & Specifics

Given that Fishin Bonanza is not the first ever slot game with a fishery thematic, the outlook of the game is rather common. The gaming process takes place underwater where one can easily be submerged in the depths of the sea world. The layout is standard 3-5 ratio with 10 betways.

However, what sounds more appealing is the betting range which varies from 0.10 euro to 500 euro per one spin. That way the game itself can attract not only casual players or one-timers, but also big-money whales. Having said that, we can also mention the RTP that is estimated at a whopping 96.51% being a lot over the average. Fishing Bonanza is available on Desktop or Mobile.

Paytable

Starting from the classic card symbols, there are 10 pay symbols altogether. They are divided into two groups: weak and strong. As already known, playing card symbols have a lower payout ratio.

The symbols we should aim to hit are those from the sea world (fish, crabs, manta rays, octopuses, and turtles). In order to win your stake, you will need to land on 3 consecutive symbols in one of the 10 possible betways, as per usual starting from the left.

Features

1. For those of you who have already met Big Bass Bonanza or Fishin’ Frenzy, the offered features won’t take you aback. The main aim of the game (and the players of course) is to land on 3 or more Scatter symbols placed anywhere, which will lead you to the Free Spins feature. Depending on the number of Scatter symbols you get, you will be awarded 10, 15 or 20 free spins accordingly. The Fisherman Wild appears in free games and substitutes for all symbols except the scatter, giving the player a greater opportunity to win. What’s more, when you land a Fisherman Wild along with fish symbols (also called Cash Symbols), the Fisherman acts as a collector of all the values of the Cash Symbols and adds them to your winnings.

Just like almost every other game, there is a re-trigger in sight. Just above the main game are situated 5 collecting areas consisting of 3 empty Scatter places. Filling them up will grant you different bonuses as follows:

• The first 3 collected Scatter symbols award 10 more free spins and turn the crab symbol into a 10x Cash Symbol.
• On the second collection area await 9 additional free spins and manta ray turned into a 15x Cash Symbol
• Third collection area will grant 7 free spins and octopus symbol turned into a 20x Cash Symbol
• Another 3 Scatter symbols give 5 free spins and turtle symbol turned into a 50x Cash Symbol
• The last collection area awards 3 additional free games and turns Scatters into Goldfish Symbols.

Fishin’ Bonanza vs 4 other Cash Collector slots

2. Another great feature of Fishing Bonanza are the Golden Fish prizes. There are three big fixed money prizes, namely Mini, Minor and Major, which are worth 100x, 250x and 500x the bet. When a Fisherman Wild appears along with a Goldfish Symbol, players will be awarded one of the jackpot wins.

Bottom line

Whilst not giving anything completely new to the slot industry, Fishing Bonanza seems to be promising a great experience to the players. While anticipating the appearance of the Scatter symbols, the player is given many other options to win big with its Jackpot prizes and Cash Symbols. Also, the Free Games feature is adding a bit of a surprise element to the whole experience with its collecting areas.
