Fishin’ BIGGER Pots Of Gold

Fishin' BIGGER Pots Of Gold: Slot Overview

When making the previous game, Fishin' Pots of Gold, it was as if one side of Gameburger Studios wanted a fishing slot, and the other side wanted leprechauns, so they compromised by mashing both tropes together. Now we've got Fishin' BIGGER Pots Of Gold, a slot that takes much of what was on offer in games like 9 Pots of Gold and Fishin' Pots of Gold, then bigs them up. The result is a slot which offers Cash Symbol collects, jackpots, free spins with an expanded grid, an Accumulation Trail with Cash Multipliers, Upsizer, and a feature buy.

Not only is Fishin' BIGGER Pots Of Gold bigger, it arguably looks better than the two previous games, with more details to absorb. Especially more so than 9 Pots of Gold, which was essentially 9 Masks of Fire with a Celtic cover. There's also plenty of Lucky Lad Flynn, so fans of the happy-go-lucky leprechaun get to celebrate his return. The base game starts out beneath the surface of the sea, where a 5x3 grid hovers between a flotilla of boats, fish, weeds, and the sea bed. Jigging its way over the top is a boisterous rock track made in the style of Dropkick Murphys with distorted guitar and Celtic touches, energising the proceedings.

Fishin' BIGGER Pots Of Gold is available in a variety of RTP configurations topping out at 96.05% and bottoming out at 86.73%, depending on the market. Volatility has been marked as 'Very High', while the hit rate is 19.48% on the highest RTP model. Players can bait up and cast off on any device, where stakes of 20 p/c to $/€25 may be locked in.

Initially, the grid has 10 paylines to land winning combinations of three to five of a kind across. The pay symbols split the two themes between them as well. The low pays have Celtic-ish patterns adorning the 10-A card royals, whereas the high pays are all fishing-related items, such as floats, hooks, anchors, and boats. Winning lines pay 10x the bet for landing five royals or 50-200x the bet for five of the premium symbols. The fish Cash Symbols also payout up to 20x the bet for five of a kind landing across a payline.

Fishin' BIGGER Pots Of Gold: Slot Features

A couple of features keep the base game moving along, such as the Collect feature and the Fish Flurry. Free spins have the potential to take players closer to the end of the rainbow and can be augmented by the Upsizer feature if they are triggered naturally.

Collect Feature

Lucky Lad Flynn dressed in fishing garb is the Collect Symbol which lands on the last reel in the base game or all reels during free spins. Not only is the Collect Symbol wild, but it also collects Cash Symbols or Jackpot Symbols if any are in view when it lands. Cash symbols are worth up to 1,000x, while the jackpots pay 15x, 50x, 750x, or 7,500x the bet when the Mini, Minor, Major, or Mega symbols are hauled in, respectively.

Fish Flurry

The Fish Flurry can activate on non-winning spins when a Collect Symbol lands. When it does, 1 to 5 Cash Symbols are added to the reels to be collected.

Free Spins

When 3, 4, or 5 scatters symbols are in view, players win 10, 15, or 20 free spins, respectively. If triggered naturally, players may have the chance of paying extra via the Upsizer feature to activate a starting cash multiplier of x2, x3, x5, or x10.

When free spins are active, the reels expand to 5 rows high, and 10 paylines are added. An Accumulation Trail is also added. The Accumulation Trail collects each Collect Symbol that lands on a free spin. When 3, 6, 9, or 12 are collected, the Cash Symbol multiplier becomes x2, x3, x5, and x10. This multiplier is applied to wins from Cash Symbol collects only. In addition, every 3 Collect Symbols collected (up to 12) awards an extra +5 free spins.

Feature Buy

If on the lower right side of the screen the Feature Buy is displayed, clicking it gives players three free spins buy options. These are 10, 15, or 20 free spins for 75x, 120x, or 150x the bet, respectively. Keep in mind that when buying free spins, the Upsizer menu will not be there.

Fishin' BIGGER Pots Of Gold: Slot Verdict

While reviewing Fishin' BIGGER Pots Of Gold, we got to wondering; so far, Gameburger Studios has slung out 9 Pots of Gold, Fishin' Pots of Gold, and now Fishin' BIGGER Pots Of Gold. Where could they go next? At a guess… Maybe hammer in some Ra-style expanding fish symbols to make Book of Fishin' BIGGER Pots Of Gold? After that, how about Book of Fishin' BIGGER Pots Of Gold Megaways? The mind reels at the possibilities.

Reeling in the knee-slappers for a bit, if you've played an Irish-themed game and a fishin' slot, then the amalgamation of the two runs pretty much how you'd expect it. The jolly Irishness is accentuated by the sunny day on the water effect to create an experience that is surely about as positive as it gets for players drawn to this sort of thing. The Mega jackpot is quite high for this kind of game, and the 1,000x fish symbol landed teasingly often during the review. Never at the same time as the Money Collect symbol, but it's there for lucky anglers to potentially reel in. Should the x10 multiplier be active when pulling in the top fish, it would be worth a cool 10,000x on its own, while max exposure equates to 22,826x the bet. By all accounts, this is definitely a BIGGER game than that which preceded it.

To sum up, if you like slots featuring fishing and leprechauns, the merging of the two things in Fishin' BIGGER Pots Of Gold is pretty much the acme of gaming. It is rather targeted, as Irish and Fishing slots do have an intrinsic polarising effect - either you like them, or you don't. If you do, the Irish/fishing mashup in Fishin' BIGGER Pots Of Gold presents an unmissable fusion.
