Gold Fish

At some stage in our lives, most of us have probably owned a goldfish. Far from the most exciting of pets, their relatively low maintenance profile make these the perfect first pet for kids, or for those who simply don’t have the time to walk, groom, train and play with a more interactive creature. Perhaps this was the motivation behind Gold Fish, a slot from the team at WMS Gaming.

Animal themed slots are hugely popular such as White Rabbit, although it’s a little less common to find slots themed around goldfish in particular. WMS have effectively carved themselves a fresh niche in opting for a goldfish theme, not to mention the play on words – if this fish fancies paying out, you might well be golden too!

Behind the theme, this one of the fairly standard online slots titles, setup across the now common 5 reels format. There are three rows running across each of the reels, filled with various fish and fish tank paraphernalia – all set against a backdrop that looks as if it’s actually inside a fish tank. Expect coral, nets, and various different types of exotic fish, culminating in the golden fish himself – your highest value symbol, and the key to some of the biggest combinations on the board.

You’ll also find a couple of additional features packed in here, all designed to maximise your winning potential. These are triggered by the feature symbols, which we’ll discuss in a moment. Lining up combinations of three or more matching symbols on any of the total 25 paylines will win you some money, according to your bet stake and the value of your combination on the paytable.

Players can choose how much they want to bet per spin, starting at £0.35. This ranges up to £150.00 for maximum bets per spin, ideal for high rollers or for those who want to fully capitalise on the winnings this game has to offer. The jackpot stands at 300x – slightly underwhelming compared to other slots, but still more than enough to provide for some decent wins along the way.

The RTP at 96.00% puts Gold Fish within the top tier of all slots titles, and means the house edge is a minimal 4%.

Feature Symbols

There are two bonus symbols of note in Gold Fish, the wild symbol and the bonus symbol respectively. The goldfish is the wild, which means it slots neatly into any combinations round about it. Say you have a wild on reel two and matching adjacent symbols in reels 1 and 3 – this will be enough to convert into a winning combination. Further, if there are multiple combos running through the wild, you’ll get paid all ways, so this is a valuable symbol whenever and wherever it lands.

The bonus symbol is the fish food container. If you land three or more of these symbols on your reels in any one spin, you’ll trigger the bonus feature, a pick-me bonus where there are some great prizes to be won instantly.

Bonuses & Jackpots

When you trigger the bonus feature, you’re presented with different containers of food, and asked to pick some containers to reveal matching colours. Each colour of food is ascribed a different value, with three or four turtles amongst the most valuable picks on the board. Landing these gives you access to one final ‘big’ pick, where some of the most generous prizes are to be won.

There are also multiple random bonuses that can occur at any time, based on different coloured fish jumping into an appearing fishbowl. There are five different bonuses in all, which including multipliers, mini games, pick-me bonuses, free spins and more, depending on whether you trigger the purple, red, green, blue or gold fish bonuses. This all adds to the action, and keeps the prize winning potential flowing right throughout this game.
