Fish ‘n’ Nudge Slot Review

Fish 'n' Nudge - Slot Overview

Fish 'n' Nudge is a 5-reel, 4-row video slot with 20 fixed paylines from Push Gaming. Stakes run from 0.10 to 100 per spin, so I can grind small or ramp things up when I feel brave. On paper it sits in the medium volatility bracket with a default RTP of 96.40 percent, but in practice the game can feel far punchier, especially when the nets and fish prizes line up.

Fish 'n' Nudge leans hard into the fishing theme, dropping you below the surface with transparent reels, seaweed and bubbles drifting past. It is Push Gaming's first run at an instant prize collector slot, and it shows they know how to keep base play alive. Regular line hits from shells and tackle combine with fish prizes, while the Fisherman symbol can flip a quiet spin into a screen full of collected cash.

Fish 'n' Nudge Symbols and Paytable

On the paytable in Fish 'n' Nudge, the low-paying set is made up of blue, green, orange and pink shells. Five of a kind here gives between 1 and 1.5 times the bet. Purple and green fishing lures sit in the middle bracket, paying up to 7.5x and 10x for five. At the top end you get various fish, a fishing rod and a tackle box, worth between 20x and 40x for a full line.

In Fish 'n' Nudge the Fisherman symbol mirrors the tackle box for line wins, topping out at 40x for five, and acts as the wild. He substitutes for all regular symbols except the nets and scatters. The boat is the scatter that opens free spins. The real hook, though, is the fish symbol. These can land with instant prize values between 0.5x and 1000x stake printed on them.

I like that the fish symbols do double work in Fish 'n' Nudge. They pay standard line wins when three or more drop left to right, but those instant prizes scale directly with your stake, so upping the bet gives those numbers real weight. When you stack several fish with decent values and line them up inside nets or under a Fisherman, you see how the game reaches its 10,000x potential.

Bonus Features in Fish 'n' Nudge

Bonus play in Fish 'n' Nudge revolves around the Net symbols. These arrive in stacks of four as overlays and frame positions on the reels. After each spin and payout, all visible nets nudge down one step while fresh symbols drop in above. A fish landing inside a framed position pays its printed prize. If a Fisherman lands in a net, he scoops every fish prize in view, in and out of nets.

The free spins in Fish 'n' Nudge start when three or more boat scatters land. Three, four or five give starting multipliers of 1x, 10x or 25x, and the round opens with reels two and four fully covered in nets. Each downward nudge adds one to the total multiplier applied to fish prizes. Push Bet adds 20 percent to the stake for a higher feature hit rate, while Bonus Buy offers several preset scatter setups at different prices and RTP levels.

How to Play Fish 'n' Nudge

I found Fish 'n' Nudge easy to pick up. Set your bet between 0.10 and 100 using the stake selector, choose whether to switch on Push Bet, then hit spin or use autoplay. Wins land when three or more matching symbols hit on adjacent reels from the left. You do not need to chase features either, as nets can turn base game spins into mini bonus-style moments when fish prizes drop into framed spots.

Fish 'n' Nudge RTP, Volatility and Max Win

From a numbers point of view, Fish 'n' Nudge runs on a default RTP of 96.40 percent, though some casinos may use lower settings, so I always check the help screen. With Push Bet active the figure nudges slightly higher, around 96.41 percent. Bonus Buy options sit in the 96.23 to 96.99 percent band. The label given is medium volatility, yet my long sessions felt more like a spiky, high variance profile.

The max win in Fish 'n' Nudge is 10,000 times the bet, strong for this style of collector slot. In practice the game often pays either quick, small net catches or swings hard when a big cluster of fish and a growing multiplier align. Compared with softer fishing games, the hit pattern here feels less about steady mid-range returns and more about chasing those rare, heavier bursts.

Fish 'n' Nudge Slot Graphics and Audio

Visually, Fish 'n' Nudge sticks to a clean underwater look that works well on desktop and mobile. Transparent reels float over corals and seaweed, with bubbles rising calmly in the background. The fisherman stands in his yellow raincoat up above, giving the whole thing that classic sea trip vibe. The soundtrack is soft and relaxed, which plays nicely against the sudden bursts of noise when scatters or big fish prizes land.

Fish 'n' Nudge Slot Verdict

I rate Fish 'n' Nudge as one of Push Gaming's better fishing efforts. The instant prize nets give base game spins some real texture, and the way they move down the grid keeps you watching every nudge. Free spins can feel brutal when nets disappear early, yet when fresh stacks keep landing and the multiplier ticks up, the bonus has the kind of climb that holds my attention.

Because this is Push Gaming's first instant prize collector slot, I went in with curiosity and stayed for the way it mixes steady line wins with punchy fish payouts. Casual players might find the swings a bit sharp, especially compared with lighter fishing titles, but if you enjoy higher risk sessions and like seeing prizes printed right on the symbols, Fish 'n' Nudge is well worth a proper run.
