Fishin' Reels

2014 Reel Time Gaming’s classic Fishin’ Frenzy has made numerous software developers thirsty for its popularity, which has led to today’s abundance of water world-themed online games with similar looks and symbols.

The Pragmatic Play team is one of those hopeful devs, as they decided to join the group with their 5-reeled Fishin’ Reels that transports punters deep into the ocean filled with variously-colored and awarding fish.

Take a deep breath and see if you can land a big catch of 1200x your bet!

Theme and Symbols

This fishing-themed online game boasts stunningly-looking visuals and animations; something punters have gotten used to seeing in Pragmatic Play's online releases!

The graphics are created in a cartoonish manner, with bright and colorful visuals, jolly and fun atmosphere, and an upbeat soundtrack complementing it perfectly!

Expectedly, the action takes place in the middle of the ocean showing the sandy ocean floor with beautiful corals on both sides and clear water in the background, while the five reels are separated by bubbles rising from the floor. 

On them, you will see impressively-looking icons including playing card suits, flippers, goggles and snorkels, starfish, lobsters, frogs, and goldfish, while...

...the logo represents the Wild, and the swordfish is the Bonus symbol.

Betting Options and Other Functions

This ocean-themed online game from the Pragmatic Play game list can be played across 5 reels and 3 rows while offering 10 ways to win and a maximum potential prize of 1200x the stake!

Available on mobile and desktop, this online title boasts high variance but also an above-average return to player percentage of 96.5%.

But, before you dive deep in search for some treasures, you need to set your bets that start at £/€0.1 and go all the way up to £/€100, which will appeal to all types of players.

When it comes to the paytable, they start with playing card suits rewarding up to 15x the stake, while the highest-rewarding is the smiling goldfish that pays up to 100x the stake for five of them across the pay line. 

The Wild symbol appears on the middle three reels, and it replaces other regular symbols of the game.

Special Features

The set of bonus features of this beautifully-designed online game features 2 Free Spins features to choose from!

But first, to trigger the Free Spins bonus round, you need to land at least three Scatter symbols that will award 10, 12, or 15 extra spins, respectively!

When this occurs, you will get to choose between two options:

• Reel ‘Em In – this option pays less but more often. During these rounds, you will see symbols with cash prizes from 0.5x to 250x the stake. However, to collect these prizes, you will need to land a fisherman symbol on the last reel.

Pay attention to the can of worms symbols, since if the fisherman reels these in, you will be awarded another 2 free spins for each.

• The Big Catch – this option pays less often but in larger amounts. The feature introduces a Big Catch Symbol icon appearing randomly on top of any other pay symbol. Land three of them, and you will trigger a fishing mini-game after getting another two free spins.

This mini-game transports you to the next screen showing the fisherman on his boat. Here, you will see 8 fish displaying values of 0.2x to 250x the total bet. The fisherman is here to randomly catch one of them and try to catch all of the fish before the free games.

Conclusion

Fishin' Reels is not the kind of online slot machine that will deliver large rewards, but that does not matter as it is all about the looks and the overall feel it provides for all types of punters.

Its bright and cartoonish visuals, and the option given to players to choose which free spins round they want to play, is enough of a reason to make everyone believe this release is the right choice!
