Far from the traditional fruity, one of the most popular video slot themes around now seems to be… fish! Perhaps it’s the bright and bubbly imagery that makes these slot games so attractive, or maybe it’s the potential to reel in a big win. Either way, it’s safe to say the fishy theme is a firm favourite. But which one to choose?
For us, there are two whoppers that stand out in particular: ‘Big Bass Bonanza’ and ‘Fishin’ Frenzy’. It’s time… for BATTLE OF THE SLOTS!

BIG BASS BONANZA

Provider: Pragmatic Play
Reels: 5
Rows: 3
Paylines: 10
RTP: 96.71%
This bold underwater slot is bound to catch your attention, thanks to the smiley fisherman host who also stars as the game’s wild. Expect to see all the things you’d take on a fishing trip: A tackle box, rod, float, and even a friendly dragonfly will make an appearance on the reels. But while the colourful symbols are nice to have, it’s the special features that really make a splash.
Features:
• Catch scatter symbols to trigger the special free spins round
• Collect wilds for extra free spins – up to a total of 50
• 12 wilds could give you access to the 10x multiplier!

FISHIN’ FRENZY

Provider: Blueprint Gaming
Reels: 5
Rows: 3
Paylines: 10
RTP: 96.12%
This famous video slot has a slightly more retro feel to Big Bass Bonanza, but maybe this has contributed to its huge popularity. Once again, a charming fisherman accompanies you on the reels and acts as the wild symbol, but you’ll also see seagulls, life rings and a whole lot of fish!
Features:
• Land 3 or more boat scatter symbols to unlock the free spins bonus round
• The fisherman wild will catch the fish symbols, which have different prize values
• Get more than one fisherman to reel in even more of these valuable fish!

So… where will you choose to cast your net? You can play both ‘Big Bass Bonanza’ and ‘Fishin’ Frenzy’ at Sky Vegas, Paddy Power Games and more, so why not try them out and see which you prefer? Happy spinning!
