Fishing themed slots and games in the iGaming sector are always incredibly popular, and for a good reason. You often find that fishing games have a real fun factor around them, and Slingone Fishin, a title from Slingo Originals, is another that is arriving on the scene with this approach and trend in mind. We have seen how similar games, such as the hit Fishin Frenzy series by Blueprint Gaming, have fared recently, and with Slingo on board, they know what it takes to deliver content on a similar level. Compared to other titles in the genre, the main difference here will, of course, be the Slingo lines, but more on that later.
It doesn’t matter what fished-themed game you play; you’re going to be heading out on an adventure, and we think this could be the most enjoyable one yet. The experienced angler, who is always by your side on the journey, plays a crucial role and adds humour to proceedings. He’s got massive sideburns to accompany his ginormous eyebrows, which will always raise a smile. But it’s worth noting he’s a veteran of the seas, and when the waters get choppy as you fish below the ocean’s surface, he’s the man who will be on hand to help.
We mentioned Slingo lines above, and for anyone who didn’t know the general idea where games are concerned in the Slingo-style, you complete lines and climb the prize ladder accordingly. It's slot gaming with bingo elements, a hybrid, if you will. So, for example, you are going to collect a prize of 200x for a full house, while completed lines will bring a cash fish into play. There is a lot going on in this mashup of elements, but one thing is for sure, it's fun and makes the game appealing to slot gamers and bingo fans.
Usually, at this point, we will detail the paytable and all the icons that are available in a game. But, as this is a Slingo offering, things work slightly different, so we will tell you about the icons that can help you along the way as you play. The special symbols in Slingone Fishin will be the ones that are going to make landing a full house easier, with the seagull wild a prime example. Players can mark off a position above in the same column if it appears.
There is also the super wild, represented by a pink squid. When this lands on the reels, any number on the grid can be marked off, so you can see how these two icons, in particular, are advantageous when you’re hunting the elusive full house.
So, you already know about the special icons – seagull wild and Pink Squid, and they are integral in the bonuses and jackpots department. Our tip for anyone reading this before playing Slingone Fishin is that the way forward is to mark off positions giving you Slingos. If you can't, check the corner and central spaces to see which is the better of the two options.
Yes, while a lot of this game may feel like bingo, there are also slot elements, such as the ship’s wheel free spins icon that will give you an extra turn of the reels to add to the standard ten you receive per round.
During your ten free spins, it’s worth bearing in mind that when they have run out, if you think it’s going to benefit you, you can continue with paid spins, which will be calculated on where you are in the game at the time.
When a Slingo line is complete, it will turn into a money fish, and the higher your climb, the more valuable they become, with a potential prize of up to 1,000x the bet available at the tip end. Fish rod symbols will see the fisherman to the right of the screen reel in one of these money fish, and this is how the prize is collected.
Have we seen fishing-themed games before? Yes, we have. But have we seen fishing, meeting online slots, meeting bingo? No, we haven’t. We love checking out fresh, innovative and unique content as reviewers, as this has a bit of everything. It’s not your typical fishing-themed game, and we love the veteran angler who is alongside and involved in the action.
