Final Thoughts
Pickles and peanut butter, banana and tomato sauce, peaches and blue cheese, if there are two seemingly unrelated foods out there, you can almost bet someone has combined them to varying degrees of success. So, it is with Fishin' Pots of Gold that either brings together a few favourite themes in one outrageously good medley of entertainment or leaves you clichéd out. It manages to not only copyFishin' Frenzy, the godfather of symbol collect games, it also drags inPragmatic Play/Reel Kingdom's hitBig Bass Bonanzaat the same time. There is a good chance fans of the latter game will find entertainment value in Fishin' Pots of Gold, since both games do similar things, with an extra sweetener laid on in Fishin' Pots of Gold.
The extra sweetener is the expanded winning potential. Where BBB topped out at a so-so 2,100x, Fishin' Pots of Gold's four jackpot tiers help push that out to 5,000x. Relatively low potential didn't stop players lining up for a burn onBig Bass Bonanza, so is Fishin' Pots of Gold a shoe in to topple it off the fishing slot podium? Possibly, but the odd inclusion of all the Irish imagery might be a little too much.
Why Gameburger decided to hitch fish with leprechauns is anyone's guess, and one of two things may happen. Either it's a little too bizarre and flops around like a rainbow trout on the riverbank, or it proves to be a winning combo. Of course, there is also the middle ground where Fishin' Pots of Gold sort of does neither, of course. There are other touches here to tempt in Big Bass players, too. For one, reels and ways expand for the bonus game, and you can always buy free spins, too, provided you've triggered them naturally once already, an odd rule in itself.
Players into Irish and fishing themes should be overjoyed to see their two favourite genres collide on one massive leprechaun coloured angling fiesta. Others might not be so thrilled with the submarine sandwich of common slot ingredients.
