4 Fantastic Fish

At the time of writing, for whatever reason, fish could not be hotter, and there is no shortage of offshore or onshore fishing themed slots to satisfy a craving. With so much selection, 4ThePLayer could have been excused for not bothering to make a contribution but instead turn their attention to a game category that isn't bursting at the seams. Inspiration is a funny one, though. Perhaps the team were deep in Ernest Hemingway'sThe Old Man and the Seaand took such lines as a challenge;'Now is no time to think of what you do not have. Think of what you can do with what there is.' Whatever drove the team on, the resulting slot, 4 Fantastic Fish, has turned out to be a substantial aquatic release. There are shades ofFishin' Frenzythanks to prize-bearing fish symbols, but 4ThePlayer has taken the idea in a different direction. There is no need to land collector symbols to collect prize money, just as long as those cheerful-looking fish line up into a winning combination. The helpful Squid is on hand, too, rearranging things to assist players when the mood strikes. Respins are where the larger hauls of fish symbol prizes are likely to be dragged aboard, but the good thing about jackpot symbols is they can land any time, so technically, big wins can be collected in the base game, as well. To sweeten the pot a little further, potential in 4 Fantastic Fish actually reaches15,000x the bet, pushing it well beyond the likes ofFishin' Frenzy& Co. or the Big Bass franchise, which is also doing well for itself. Though it is somewhat outplayed byBTG's piscine contenderGolden Catch Megaways. So is 4 Fantastic Fish a case of all aboard? Pretty much yes, if fishing themed slots are your thing. 4ThePlayer has cleverly linked the game to classics of the genre while also steaming past them into relatively new waters. There's a fun atmosphere, plenty of features, and sizeable rewards for the patient (and lucky) reel bound angler.
