Fishing for Cash

Fishing for Cash Game Review

This studio isn’t one that would limit itself to just following old and proven formulas, and that’s naturally an approach that we well and truly appreciate. After all, writing reviews of games that look and play the same is by no means fun, so we’re always happy whenever something fresh comes around. It certainly has with the Fishing for Cash slot, so let’s take a look at it! The playing field of Fishing for Cash has 5 reels and 5 rows in the base game, but it expands during certain bonus features. There are no paylines in the mix, either – instead, it’s Scatter Pays action here, which means that you’ll collect all the symbols that you manage to find!

The theme of Fishing for Cash is all about fishing, of course, and the visual presentation of the game is entirely adequate, perhaps even on the better side of the spectrum. It’s no cutting-edge stuff, mind you, but it does give off some pleasant vibes, and there are no rough bits anywhere. In other words, what we have here is a coherent package that works really well as a whole, and that’s always nice to see.

Let’s now turn our attention to the mathematical model of Fishing for Cash. It comes with a medium volatility level, and its hit frequency is very good at 31%. The most you can win is apparently above 1,264x your bet, and the game’s betting range caters to players with all kinds of bankrolls. While low rollers can play for just £0.20 per spin, high rollers can risk up to £800 per spin. Meanwhile, things are a bit tricky as far as the slot's theoretical RTP is concerned. When you start playing, you’ll get a package with a poor 90% RTP. If you upgrade your game fully, though, you’ll get to an RTP level of 96.90%!

Fishing for Cash Slot Features

There are 3 regular pay symbols in Fishing for Cash that show different kinds of fish, and you can also look forward to Free Spins symbols, Jackpot symbols and Wheel symbols. There are blocker symbols as well, of course, and those symbols are the most common of them all. Jackpot symbols are by far the most valuable, and the Purple Jackpot symbol that appears on reel 5 starts at 1,000x your bet in terms of value.

The Spin-Crease feature is the central feature of Fishing for Cash. There’s a meter placed to the left of the actual playing field, and you charge it a bit with every single bet that you place. Whenever it hits a new level, the values of your symbols go up, and this also naturally increases the slot’s theoretical RTP. Thankfully, your progress isn’t tied to your bet level, which means that you can advance quickly by betting big and that low rollers aren’t going to miss out on anything by betting small.

Even a single Free Spins symbol is enough to trigger the Free Spins feature, and each symbol is worth 3 or 5 free spins. You can land more Free Spins symbols during free spins as well, but, interestingly, Wheel symbols and Jackpot symbols can’t appear during the Free Spins feature.

As for the Wheel symbols, those award Wheel Spins that can net you instant coin wins.

Finally, there’s the Power Bet feature that you can use for 15x, 30x, or 45x your bet. This will net you a number of paid spins with a playing field that will slowly expand by one, two, and three extra rows in total.

Review Summary

At the end of the day, Fishing for Catch is a fishing-themed slot that does things a bit differently with the Spin-Crease feature. It’s clearly not for everyone, but it will please players that enjoy fishing games and that are willing to spend several sessions with a single game. If you aren’t willing to do that, though, this deal just isn’t good for you.
