Epic Fish Adventure Slot Review
I’ve run out of fishing tales 🎣 to tell – I think I only had two coz that’s how many times I’ve dabbled – so instead, this intro will be all about something really freaky. 😱
Back in 2016, a Texan angler caught a largemouth bass that had swallowed a duckling 🦆. I didn’t believe it at first when I read the article, but I’ve seen pictures – that shit’s real! And I’ve discovered that this isn’t the only instance where that’s happened!
Man, that gives me the shivers.
Happily, I can confirm that no ducks were hurt in the making of Epic Fish Adventure slot 🎰 from Quickspin.
Gameplay
Here we go again… we’re under the sea with pearl-bearing clams, starfish, messages in bottles, compasses, and marlin as the medium-paying symbols.
This is a great-looking game, similar to the Big Bass series. The frameless reels add to the underwater feel.
The Wild is, of course, our fisherman, and scoring 5 Wilds in one spin gets you a payout of 150x your bet. Wilds replace all symbols other than Scatters, and they also collect Fish (Money) symbols when these two land together on the reels.
You’ll play across 10 paylines, and the volatility rate is medium to high. Unfortunately, the top prize is on the low side, at $129,750, but the max multiplier is okay at 5,190x.
The RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.
RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate. goes from 96.07% to 96.53% (because of the Buy Bonus option), and you’ll need to bet with fiat money (albeit not with the Polish złoty).
Features
FREE SPINS:
This round gets triggered with 3 or more Bonus Scatters – 3 Scatters takes you to the Sunrise Spins feature; 4 Scatters to the Hold the Line round; and 5 Scatters awards Golden Marlin spins.
Sunrise Spins:
You’ll be awarded an extra spin for every 4 Wilds you collect.
Hold the Line:
Wilds are sticky for an extra spin, and you get 2 more spins for every 4th Wild you collect.

Wilds can collect any Golden Marlins on the grid, and their cash prize will increase each time they appear. Wilds are again sticky for an extra spin, and you get 3 more spins for every 4 Wilds you collect.

BUY BONUS:
Pay 40x for Sunset Spins, 95x for Hold the Line, and 250x for Golden Marlin spins.
Performance
Epic Fish Adventure slot played as we’d expect: flawlessly. I played hundreds of spins across my devices and didn’t run into any problems.
Maximum Win
Combine a $25 bet (that’s the highest; the minimum bet is $0.10) with the 5,190x max multiplier for a payout worth $129,750.
Conclusion
OK, so clearly this game follows in the fishy footsteps of the Big Bass games. It’s not surprising that other studios are doing so, given the success of that series. Recently, Quickfire threw its hat in the ring with Bass Cash X Up slot.
Other than the aesthetics, the similarities include the awarding of extra spins via the collection meter. The spin that the studio has thrown into the mix is that you get 3 Free Spin rounds, which offer different opportunities.
One thing to watch out for – and this is not exclusive to Epic Fish Adventure slot – is that you can lose a ton of cash by using the Buy Bonus. As an example, I paid 250x for a round and won $20 😭. But let’s be fair; this is gambling and sometimes that’s how things play out.
