Are you looking for a reel-y good time? Do you want some fin-tastic rewards? How about some shrimp-ly amazing features? Or do you really just want me to stop coming up with terrible puns? Well, good because I really can’t think of any more. Let’s just get to the fishing-themed slot, shall we?

Grab your waders and your lucky fishing rod and get ready to reel in big wins in Perfect Fishing slot from Evoplay.

Don’t forget the beers

When you cast out your line in Perfect Fishing slot you shouldn’t expect to find an abundance of bonus features hidden below the surface. In fact, I may go so far as to say that the slot, if you can even call it that, doesn’t have a single bonus feature. What it does have are mechanics and even those are few and far between.

The game is pretty simple. You set your bet amount and you click the play button. The fisherman will then cast to see if he can get a bite. If you wait long enough, the fisherman will reel in his line, and you’ll see if you caught a win. You can also select to click the reel-in button to speed things up. If the line comes up without a fish, you’ll have to bet again. However, if there is a fish on the end of the line, you’ll have a choice to make.

When you catch a win, you’ll be given the option to either claim the win or to risk it for a larger multiplier. This brings us to the multiplier bar above the reels. With an initial catch, you’ll receive a 2x multiplier. Each time you risk your win after that, the multiplier amount will be doubled, up to a maximum of 1,024x. However, if you risk your win and don’t catch another fish, you’ll start from scratch with nothing.

And that’s really it. That’s the whole slot/game. It’s simple and oh-so-satisfying!

Is Perfect Fishing slot fin-tastic?

Over the last few years, especially since the start of the pandemic, a new genre of games called “cozy game” has become increasingly popular. The trend arguably started with the meteoric rise of Stardew Valley and became mainstream with Animal Crossing. Perfect Fishing slot is the closest I’ve seen a slot game come to joining this genre of games. The music and the pacing make it a beautifully relaxing game that I played for far longer than I thought I would considering its simplicity. It was like a therapy session or a yoga class. It’s well worth a try, especially if you are having a particularly stressful day.

The game does have a maximum jackpot of €204,800 but to be honest, I really wouldn’t play this for real money if I were you. Sure, it gives you a chance to win some reasonably good money if you’re betting at the €200 per spin maximum, but I just don’t think the game lends itself to that kind of gameplay. I wish Evoplay had taken a bolder approach and made the maximum jackpot something like €200 with a huge multiplier and tiny min and max bet amounts. This would have emphasized its cozy nature and made it truly stand out from the crowd. The slot has an RTP of 96%.

If you’re looking for a few other Evoplay classics to try out, I recommend giving the tense Bomb Squad or the sensational Redrose Sanctuary a try.
