Before you dive under the sea, you are advised to regulate your bets first. By clicking on the “Bet” button, you will reveal the “Coins” and the “Coin size” option. The coin value ranges from 0.01 to 0.05, while the number of “Coins” varies from 1 to 10. “Autoplay” enables reels to turn without interruption for a chosen number of times, whereas “Spin” starts the game.
Fish Party symbol is the game’s Wild. It acts as a replacement for every symbol, but the Scatter. The Scatter is the Seashell. Once players land 3 or more Scatters anywhere on the reels, up to 20 Free Spin will be activated. Free Spins feature may as well be retriggered.
The Treasure Chest, Blue Fish, Yellow Fish, and Purple Fish are the Expanding Wild symbols and any of them may occur and expand on reel 3. The Expanding Wilds occur only during the Free Spin rounds and increase players’ winning potential.
Any winning combination triggers the Gamble feature. Players can play the feature or skip it and continue playing the regular game. If you choose to play the Gamble feature, you need to guess the colour of the card to double your winning amount, or guess the suit to quadruple your winnings. If you make a wrong guess, the feature will end and you will be returned to the base game.

Not really known anything about this slot when first time I opened it to play but I just wanted to try something new. At first sight it seemed a very cute slot, perhaps a little bit too cute, but I liked the graphics much and found some of the fish symbols funny. The colors were great and I loved the aquarium illustration as transparent background image. Maybe this appearance is not what I would chose for my favorite type but if I popped in I thought I use it a little.
The slot is a 243 ways-to win style game and every time when I play with a game that falls into that category I always hope something better results than at other ‘normal’ games. As we’re used to it, the line win values at these games are not as indicative so don’t let fool yourself if you see that the best paying line is worth only just around 26!!! times of bet. This special Fish Party symbol also works as Wild and even if it doesn’t have win multiplying ability but at least it appears in stacked format on the reels.
This kind of payout quality really would be ridiculous but because of lot of simultaneous wins it is really not that meaningful data, but I still think this and generally all other payout values should be much better. There are sequences when not much happens and the regular non-Wild or -5 of a kind win very rarely gives back more than the placed bet which is getting frustrated as the time goes on.
Getting 5 Shell (Scatter) figures on the table means the best possible win is achieved in base game and 100 times of total bet amount is credited to the balance but why this symbol can be important from other aspect is the free spin feature triggering ability. When 3 or more of it appears on the reels free spins awarded up to 20 games. Sadly the free games has no any multiplier number attached but at least 4 additional symbols appear on the reels in stacked format which increase the winning chances.
Back to my introductory sessions, as I’ve said I didn’t know this game at all so I had no clue what rules and what payouts it has and at the beginning nothing happened and even the smaller wins were avoided me so I started to think it was a mistake to land on this slot when the free spin feature triggered and at the end my final won amount was around $40. I thought with that given money I was spending at least a half an hour to get to know the game in details. So I kept playing but after 25 minutes later and with around $75 poorer I decided to quit the game. From that free spin session the game closed its wallet and it really gave me nothing. I didn’t get another entry to free spins and even though I had some winnings with Wilds but they clearly weren’t from that wins that I hoped for. I’m not a real fan of Microgaming’s gambling feature but I must have used it at this game to have a chance to win something at times but this time it also let me down.
Maybe I had just a terrible luck but other occasions when I returned to this slot weren’t much more successful and I came to that opinion that this is not a player-friendly game. I think it is more of a cute slot than a playable gambling products and its payout system is simple not competitive at all. There are much things that would require improvements and more features is also welcomed but actually this weak rewarding system just kills the overall playing experience. To be honest I’m disappointed in this game and in Microgaming to create such product and in my book this is not even close to being a good slot especially if I take into the consideration that this is a ‘243’ type game which should have much more potential to give out potential large amounts.
