Fishin’ Reels

Fishin’ Reels Review

Fishin’ Reels uses 5 reels and 3 rows. There are 10 fixed pay-lines to win from. They reward for 2 or 3 to 5 matching symbols landed left to right starting from reel 1. The game has an underwater theme with all kinds of ocean inhabitants. Its RTP is 96.50%, the volatility is high, so it pays less often in bigger amounts. You can play this slot with wagers in the range of 0.10 to 100 credits on all kinds of devices.

In Fishin’ Reels, the main attraction is the free spins. Their activation triggers all other bonus games. After winning 10 to 15 free rounds, you have to choose between 2 free spins modes. These are the Reel It In Free Spins and the Big Catch Bonus.

In the Reel It In free games, you will win from 12 fish symbols with cash values in the range of 0.50x to 250x. All of them will be summed up and paid out every time you land the fisherman symbol. The Big Catch Bonus plays similarly to the base game. The main difference is that 3 big catch fish symbols trigger the bonus. Thanks to it, you can win cash prizes from 8 fish species in the range of 0.20 to 250x bet. The jackpot win in the game is 1,200 times your stake.

The Design

Fishin’ Reels is a cute and fun game with high-quality graphics and a great soundtrack. It is set underwater and styled very masterfully and originally. The reels are framed with water bubbles. On them can land the 4 card suits styles in different colours on the sand. There are also large fish, red crabs, green frogs, pink starfish. You can win from snorkels, fins, wild logos, bonus scatters and plenty of special symbols.

The key to the action is activating the free spins, which lets you select from 2 modes of 2 bonus games. The images are precise, clear and look superb. The soundtrack is joyful, adventurous, dynamic and with slight country vibes. Around the reels are visible green algae and water bubbles. The background is a light turquoise of the ocean bottom. The game is in pleasant warm colour tones.

Fishin’ Reels Gameplay

Fishin’ Reels has 10 pay-lines. To get wins you need 2 or 3 matching symbols to appear on any of them left to right starting from the leftmost reel. The symbols include the 4 card suits, 4 underwater creatures and gear for swimming and a premium fish. The special symbol is the wild, scatter, fisherman, 12 fish money symbols and a big catch symbol.

The blue diamonds and green clubs pay 0.50, 2 and 10 times your stake for 3, 4 and 5 matching symbols on a line. The red hearts and purple spades return 0.50, 2 and 15 times your stake. The snorkel and fins also pay equally – 1, 5 and 20 times the stake for 3, 4 and 5 of the same kind on a line.

The starfish returns 1,50, 10 and 30 times your stake for 3, 4 and 5 symbols in combinations. The red crab pays 2, 12.50 and 40x stake for 3, 4 and 5 on a line. The green frog is the second most paying symbol and gives you wins of 2.50, 15 and 50 times your stake. The cute orange fish is the most rewarding and the only premium symbol. It gives you wins of 0.50, 5, 20 and 100 times your stake for 2, 3, 4 and 5 symbols. It is also the only symbol that rewards 2 of a kind on a pay line.

The wild symbol is the word logo decorated with greenery. It substitutes for the other ones except for the bonus, fisherman and fish money symbols. The wild can land on reels 2, 3 and 4 only. The bonus symbol is the golden one with the fish and the word ‘BONUS’ on it. You can get it on all reels and when 3 or more scatters hit the reels, you activate the free spins.

The fish money and the fisherman symbols are active only during the Reel It In feature. There is a big catch symbol as well and it appears during the Big Catch bonus.

Fishin’ Reels Features / Bonuses

Fishin’ Reels includes plenty of bonus features and mini-games. You can benefit from the abundant prizes in the free spins after choosing from Reel It In or the Big Catch bonuses. Landing 3 or more bonus symbols with the word itself and the fish in gold triggers the free spins. This happens as follows:

• 3 bonus symbols activate 10 free spins;
• 4 bonus symbols activate 12 free spins;
• 5 bonus symbols activate 15 free spins;

Before the free spins start you have to choose from two options picking the one that you prefer. These are the Reel It In and the Big Catch free spins modes. In Reel It In Free Spins, apart from the standard symbols, 12 colourful cute fish money symbols can land on the reels. Each of them has its own previously set cash value, which ranges from 0.50 to 250 times the stake. There is a fisherman symbol, which can also land in these rounds on reel 5 only.

When the fisherman symbol appears on the 5th reel, all values of the fish money symbols are summed up. Their total will be paid to you. In case you land symbols with the worm that awards extra free spins, each symbol of this kind adds 2 more free spins.

The Big Catch Bonus plays with all standard symbols. Some of them can appear marked with a tiny special big catch symbol of the fish on them. These can land on any spin by chance over symbols on the reels. When 3 or more of these overlay symbols cover 3 other ones, you will be paid for the created wins. Then you will play the Fishing Bonus Game and win 2 extra free spins. During the Fishing Bonus Game, the fisherman will be catching a fish of the 8 available ones. They all have pre-set varying values in the range of 0.20 to 250x bet.

Every time you activate and win this Fishing Bonus Game, one of the 8 fish will be randomly caught by the fisherman. Its payout will then be rewarded to you. If you activate this mini bonus 8 or more times and catch all 8 available fish species, the big catch symbol will stop landing in the Big Catch Bonus.

The Conclusion

Fishin’ Reels is a good choice for every fan of slots, especially for those that are into the marine theme. The water inhabitants look friendly, cute and make the rounds a pleasure for the eyes. The soundtrack is very suitable, jolly and with a tinge of traditional American country music. You can activate enough bonuses from the free spins to benefit from larger prizes if you have luck. Keep in mind that Fishin’ Reels is a highly volatile game.
