Gold Fish Fortunes

WMS, the developers of Gold Fish Fortunes and who brought us Montezuma, are inviting players to spin the five reels of this slot that has twenty-five paylines and, in doing so, take a deep dive into the deep blue sea where there’s the potential to uncover some underwater treasure. It’s the hallmark of online slots with an underwater theme, after all.

The game itself falls into the standard category or what you expect to see from an underwater-themed slot game category, but that's not necessarily a negative. Because, like many other video slots of this nature, you could say that WMS have gone all out where the features are concerned to really give it some oomph.

And, in some ways, the simple approach where the graphics of the game are concerned work a treat because it means whether the slot is being played on mobile, tablet or desktop, a great experience is going to be had, which is vital for slot game players today.

It’s not often that there are multiple fish icons of significant importance in a slot game, but it’s certainly the case in Gold Fish Fortunes. The Gold Fish symbol assumes the role of the wild, and it will replace other regular icons but not the scatter.

There are also more types of fish, and they all have a role to play in Gold Fish Fortunes, triggering their own bonus rounds. Blue, green, red and purple are the colours of the fish to watch out for, especially when the bonus features can be incredibly advantageous in this WMS release.

It’s standard procedure here in terms of three scatters triggering a bonus feature, but instead of it being straight into playing through some free spins, players will select one of five bubbles to reveal a combination of free rounds and a win multiplier. There will be 5-20 free spins up for grabs, alongside a multiplier worth 2x to 10x.

We mentioned the different coloured fish above, and here’s what they produce:

• Blue – the super scatter that can deliver up to three free spins or a 10x multiplier
• Green – unlocks Bubble Bonus, where cash prizes are up for grabs
• Red – triggers Fish Tank Bonus; choose the right accessory for the leaping fish to win a cash prize
• Purple – starts the Bubble Burst feature, where big multipliers can enter the fray

Three fish food scatters trigger the Fish Food bonus round in Gold Fish Fortunes, where players are essentially tasked with keeping their fish alive. If players successfully feed the fish their correct food, it can lead to three turtles appearing, and they’re not there to make up the numbers. Instead, they can provide instant cash prizes, but players must choose correctly to win the biggest.

Some people may load up WMS's Gold Fish Fortunes and think it's just another underwater-themed slot that has basic graphics and so on. But, what WMS have managed to do to set this apart from others is include some unique features that aren't just fun, but they tie into the fish theme, such as having to feed the fish in the Fish Food bonus round. It's a masterstroke in many ways. Play this slot at Gala Bingo.
