Lucky Fishing Slots
Pragmatic Play is an award-winning slot game developer responsible for mobile and desktop casino and live dealer games and sports betting options. This developer also is tied to Octopus Gaming’s substantial selection of older video slots. This is why it can be hard to find the original Lucky Fishing slots.
We love fishing-themed slots and Lucky Fishing is one of the best. It’s a game developed by Octopus Gaming that’s been updated recently by Pragmatic Play. For our slot game review, we played Lucky Fishing Megaways. We’re looking at the games side-by-side to see which is better.
Lucky Fishing Has 20 Paylines, and the Newer Version Has Over 100,000 Ways to Win
There are only 20 paylines in the original Lucky Fishing slots. The newer Megaways version adds thousands more. With the new version, you can also pay a fee to automatically trigger the bonus round. That puts the possible RTP at up to 97% in the free spins bonus round.
In the original Lucky Fishing, bets start at a penny and go up to $5. The Megaways version starts at a penny coin value and goes up to $1. Bet up to 10 credits for a max bet of $100.
Lucky Fishing’s Bonus Game
In the initial Lucky Fishing game, you control the fisherman as he casts his line. Win the cash value of whatever he reels in. Prizes of up to 2,800x are possible.
In Lucky Fishing Megaways, there are 6 instead of 5 reels now, and that opens the door to as many as 117,649 ways to win. This game has two bonus features. One awards free spins. The other finds a Fishing Boat appearing at the top of the reel and burning symbols below it into wilds. This leads to a tumbling reel feature that makes it possible to win more as winning symbols fall off the game grid and allow new ones to fall into the empty spaces.
With any of our slot game reviews, we like to try the game. We can’t find the old version online anymore. We did test out the Megaways version with a penny coin value, which put our total bet of $2 per spin.
- 2nd spin - $2
- 3rd spin - $2
- 4th spin - $1
Because you can pay a fee of 100x and automatically trigger the free spins, we did just that. Start with 10 free spins and spin the prize wheel if you want to try to increase them. In our free spins, we ended up winning a total of $3.60. It wasn’t worth the risk.
If you’re able to find the old Lucky Fishing slots, enjoy it. Otherwise, you’re not going to be disappointed by the updated game from Pragmatic Play. It’s a lot of fun.
