As far as online slots are concerned, if an original does great, it’s always a good idea to follow it up with a sequel. So, step forward Gameburger Studios with Fishin Bigger Pots of Gold, which is the follow-on from Fishin Pots of Gold, one of those video slots that players seemed to love from the get-go.
When a developer decides it’s time to create a sequel, there are two things they must remember to do – not move away too much from the original and also to add improvements where possible, and Gameburger Studios deliver on both of these with aplomb. How does going from a max win of 5,000x to 22,826x sound?
In the main, Gameburger Studios have kept everything that’s good about Fishin Pots of Gold and just made it better on most fronts, which means that it’s not one of these sequels that’s just been released for the sake of it. Instead, players can spin the reels of Fishin Bigger Pots of Gold from 0.10, knowing they really will be fishing for bigger pots of gold.
Symbols in Fishin Bigger Pots of Gold are made up of royals, J, Q, K and A, and they pay the least, and then icons related to the angling theme. The royals can pay up to 10x the bet, while the float, lure, boots, tackle box, and other premium symbols will pay up to 200x.
Fish appearing on the reels can show random cash values worth up to 1,000x, and they can also display jackpot amounts too. As the title of the slot suggests, Fishin Bigger Pots of Gold sees an angling theme merge with an Irish theme, so the wild is called Flynn, and he’s a leprechaun who loves his angling.
Two features star in Fishin Bigger Pots of Gold, and Flynn reeling in cash values present on the reels when he appears as the wild on reel five is one of them. It’s also possible that one of the four jackpot amounts – 15x, 50x, 750x and 7,500x can be reeled in too. This can also happen in the free spins feature, where Flynn appears on all reels.
The main bonus in Fishin Bigger Pots of Gold is the free spins feature, and having 3, 4 or 5 scatters in view in any position in the same spin will return 10, 15 or 20 free spins. Flynn also plays a crucial role in this feature because progress will be added to the meter above the reels when he appears.
3, 6, 9 and 12 appearances by Flynn during the free spins round will see multipliers of 2x, 3x, 5x and 10x apply. Free spins will be added too. And, to add to the winning potential in the feature, active paylines will increase from ten to twenty. In some jurisdictions, paying to go direct to the free spins feature is also possible.
Fishin Pots of Gold was great, but Gameburger Studios have returned and made it bigger and better on all fronts, with the increase in the max win available a prime example. And, you can’t knock a game that combines two of the most popular themes in the slot world – fishing and the luck of the Irish. Play this game at Gala Bingo.
