Wild Fishin Wild Ways Review

The fishing slot genre has exploded in both popularity and competing installments lately, but we still remember a simpler time when Fishin' Frenzy was all the rage. Wild Fishin' Wild Ways adds yet another twist to the tale, and the trademarked Wild Ways system means you’ll unlock cash fish reels eligible to be reeled in.

The cash fish prize range also increases per reel, and up to 250x for a single cash fish is possible on reel 5. Things are taken up a notch when the 3 cash fish reels can expand in the bonus round, but the overall max win of 2,792x isn’t all that impressive in this genre anymore. The visuals are decent though, and you get some charming action commentary from the fisherman.

Wild Fishin' Wild Ways Slot Features

The premium symbols pay between 2.5 and 10 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and the fisherman Wild steps in for all pay symbols to help complete wins. You need 2 fisherman wilds on reels 1 and 2 to trigger the Wild Fishin’ feature, and cash fish on reel 3 are then reeled in.

This opens up the possibility of reeling in cash fish on reel 4, which again does the same for reel 5. This is known as the Wild Ways system, and the fish prizes increase per reel as follows:

• Fish prizes on reel 3 range from 0.5x to 4x your stake.
• Fish prizes on reel 4 range from 4x to 15x your stake.
• Fish prizes on reel 5 range from 15x to 250x your stake.

The Bonus Round is triggered in two different ways. You can get it from landing a bonus symbol on reels 3 to 5 during the Wild Fishin’ feature, or by landing 3 bonus symbols on reels 3 to 5 in the base game.

You get 10 free spins either way, and reels 3 to 5 can expand up to 6 rows during the Wild Fishin’ feature. This gives you 1,944 win ways, and you get +5 extra spins when a bonus symbol lands during the Wild Fishin’ feature.

You get to see a bit of how the base game works, before we trigger the bonus round at 0:52 into the 3-minute highlights video. We triggered the Wild Fishin’ feature numerous times during the bonus round, but the reels didn’t always expand. Anyway, you can see for yourself how much we reeled in by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

A while ago, a game like Wild Fishin’ Wild Ways would potentially have made a bigger splash, but the competition has become a lot steeper in the fishing slot genre lately. The reels are set in the harbor, which is a bit unusual for what amounts to a fishing expedition, and you’re taken to the bottom of the sea during the bonus round.

The fisherman has a charming Australian accent, and he certainly looks the part as well.

We’re not really sure the Wild Ways system is gonna hit home with many players though, as it seems unnecessary and restricting. At least cash fish can be caught in all stages though, and the reel expanding system adds a bit of excitement. The 2,792x potential would’ve been decent when Fishin’ Frenzy was the only competition, but that’s hardly the case anymore.

Pros

• Wild Fishin’ w/ prizes up to 250x on reel 5
• FS w/ Wild Fishin’ expanding reels 3 to 5
• Win up to 2,792x your stake

Cons

• Top-tier RTP is only 95.1 % (RTP ranges)
