Reel em in Lobster Potty

This lobster themed slot seems a bit odd one, yet it plays out the same as any other. This time around there are three big pots, full of coins and not lobsters, to be won, as well as considerable line wins. Though not of the highest standards the animations and graphics still hold ground against most other slots. It’s the special features that SG Interactive has concentrated on, and those are also what the player should seek out when playing this slot.

Theme

The game opens up with a bit of animated action. As you can guess from the name the theme has to do with fishing, or in this case catching lobsters. Though the pots are actually pots full of gold and not lobsters. Go figure. The animations go on during the game play, with a lake and the fisher forming up the background picture. The music and sound effects come into play every time you roll the reels, and though they are joyful they add little to the atmosphere of the game.

Betting Options and Functions

The game features the standard reel setup that you’ve come to expect. Five reels in three rows with 20 paylines running through them. As usual, the payline combos need to connect from left to right. The betting is set as bet per line and can run all the way to 500 coins per spin. Suffice to say. With more worthy denominations the stakes are considerably lower.

The jackpots and other big wins, including the ones that come with the big bet, are to be won through the special features. What’s on the stake during the basic game then? Well, you got the usual cadre of playing cards, shored up with some themed symbols. These pay out relatively well, topping at 500 times your line bet.

Features

The reel ‘em in bonus starts when five sandy symbols show up on the reels at the same time. Several different types of fish will show up on the reels, and they pay out differing amounts of instant wins. If a boot, a bad catch for anyone, shows up on a reel it is closed down. Once all reels are closed down the spins will stop, and you get the payout.

The same sandy configuration can also award the lobster pot. This time only the centre reel will spin, revealing lobsters of all kinds. If you catch the right ones you can win one of the three massive coin pots: bronze, silver, or gold.

If you want to risk a bit of money you should take the big bet bonus feature. This means that you pay some extra coins for some extra chances to win. Given that the RTP rises from 94% to 98% during this feature it might just be that you shouldn’t use any other!

Our Take

Reel em in Lobster Potty is not overly imaginative, yet it is highly playable. The big bet feature adds plenty of worthy spins, whereas the normal spins pay out nice prizes. The special features are where you can really cash in. That is to say, you should give this one a try even if the graphics and sounds are not exactly up to date.
