4 Fantastic Fish Slot Review

4 Fantastic Fish Slot Overview

4 Fantastic Fish from 4ThePlayer takes the familiar fishing theme and gives it a fresh spin with Cash Ways and four fixed Big Game Jackpots. The action plays out on 6 reels and 4 rows, with 4096 ways to win and plenty of cash fish landing across the grid. I felt that laid-back seaside vibe straight away, but the game can turn tense in a flash when those larger fish and jackpot symbols stack up.

What really struck me is that you do not need a separate collector to land the fish prizes. Any combination of fish on adjacent reels from left to right will pay their displayed cash values, which feels very natural once you get used to it. Bets run from 0.10 to 80 per spin, so I could happily test different stake levels while chasing that big catch.

4 Fantastic Fish Slot Information

4 Fantastic Fish runs with a 96% RTP in its best configuration, but there are RTP ranges, so the figure can be lower depending on where you play. Volatility is high, backed up by a hit frequency of 23.41%, which means you may sit through stretches of quiet water before something pops. The maximum win is an impressive 15000x your bet, helped by Cash Ways and those Big, Super, Mega and Ultra jackpot fish.

Symbols and Paytable in 4 Fantastic Fish

The low-paying symbols in 4 Fantastic Fish are 10, J, Q, K and A, while the premium set consists of a fishing rod, tackle box, seagull, crab and the fisherman. Hitting 6 of a kind premiums pays between 30x and 100x your stake, with the fisherman at the top. The white fishing boat acts as the wild symbol, standing in for all regular pay symbols, and the blue marlin scatter triggers the main bonus.

Fish symbols land on every reel in various sizes, each displaying a cash value from 0.2x up to 100x your stake. Line up at least three fish on adjacent reels starting from the left and you collect the summed values as a Cash Ways win. On reel 6 you can also land Big Game Jackpot fish, paying 100x, 500x, 2000x or a massive 10000x when included in a winning fish way.

4 Fantastic Fish Slot Features

Wild symbols play a fairly straightforward role in 4 Fantastic Fish, simply helping complete line wins where possible. The real twist comes from the Cash Ways mechanic and the Giant Squid feature. At random, the Giant Squid can appear and reshuffle fish symbols on the reels. In the base game this has often turned dead spins into tidy cash fish wins for me by connecting or improving those Cash Ways combinations.

The Big Game Jackpot Fish sit only on reel 6, hovering above the regular cash fish. When one of these lands as part of a fish symbol way win, you collect that jackpot value on top of the other fish prizes. Hitting a Mega or Ultra fish with a grid already packed with decent values can be huge, and the Giant Squid can help drag that reel 6 jackpot into the action when it feels just out of reach.

Landing 3 or more marlin scatter symbols triggers the Respin Bonus. Any reel that showed a scatter at activation becomes unlocked, with other reels starting locked. You get 3 respins, where only fish symbols, scatters and blanks appear. Fish stick where they land and each new fish or scatter resets the counter to 3. Filling a reel with fish brings in the shark, which eats them, doubles their total and drops the combined amount back on top, freeing space for more. The Giant Squid can also move fish from locked to unlocked reels, which can save a dying bonus. Outside the UK you can buy this feature for 60x the bet, starting straight in the thick of the action.

The 200 Spins 4 Fantastic Fish Slot Experience

Across roughly 200 spins on 4 Fantastic Fish, the high volatility came through clearly. I had spells where the balance barely moved, followed by bursts where Cash Ways wins and the Giant Squid perked things up. The Respin Bonus did not appear often, but when it did, the screen quickly filled with sticky fish and a shark visit or two lifted the payout nicely. It felt swingy, but the peaks were satisfying when they arrived.

4 Fantastic Fish Review Summary

As someone who has played plenty of fishing slots, I like how 4 Fantastic Fish sidesteps the old “wait for the fisherman” routine. Cash Ways lets the fish pay like normal symbols, only with chunky cash values that increase from left to right. Add in four fixed jackpots and that Giant Squid reshuffle, and the base game has much more going on than a simple grind for the bonus.

The Respin Bonus is where the game really shows its teeth, with sticky fish, expanding coverage and the shark doubling full reels for satisfying finishes. On the flip side, the high volatility and adjustable RTP ranges mean it will not suit everyone, especially if you prefer steadier returns. For players who enjoy riskier sea adventures with real hit potential, 4 Fantastic Fish is well worth casting a line into.
