Go Fish Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

Inspired is a British company which provides content, technology, hardware and service for regulated gaming operators of all kinds around the world. They operate 50,000 machines in 35 jurisdictions and supply games to more than 170 websites. Inspired free slots are therefore very easy to find, giving you the chance to try a free play demo version before deciding whether to gamble for money. Go Fish certainly makes for a different experience from a game like Blueprint Gaming’s popular Fishin Frenzy slot.

Go Fish has 3 reels and 3 rows with a wrap-around reel of symbols ready to cascade into the main grid. It has 1,024 ways to win. The minimum bet size is 0.20 and the maximum is 20.00. There are 11 regular symbols: a Shark, a Pink fish, a Blue Fish, a Clownfish, an Orange Fish, a Green Fish, a Seahorse and the four highest playing cards. The wild is a Puffer Fish.

Theme, graphics and soundtrack

The reels sit against a bright, serene tropical sea setting, with gently bobbing symbols which pop like bubbles on a win. The calypso soundtrack is easy on the ear and highly appropriate.

Go Fish RTP and variance

The game’s RTP is 95.01 per cent, which is below average for slot games. The variance is high.

How to play Go Fish

1. Click on the piles of coins to open the bet menu. Here you can choose your bet from 14 options, the lowest being 0.20 and the highest 20.
2. Click the three-line menu to open various menus including all the game info, a left-hand setting option and the switch to turn on turbo play
3. Press the small play button to call up the auto play menu. Here you can choose from 5, 10, 25, 50, 75 or 100 automatic spins. You can also set loss and win limits at which point auto mode will exit.
4. Press the Play button or use the space bar to spin the reels at the current bet. You can click anywhere on the screen to stop the reels early. You’ll see that the three reels spin downwards while the symbols in the wrap-around reel pass round the outside. 
5. The balance is displayed at the bottom left of the screen.
6. Only the highest award is paid for each winning combo. Wins on different winning combinations are added. All wins play left to right across adjacent columns starting from the furthest to the left.
7. During the base game and free spins, all winning symbols are part of a cascade. Cascade symbols on the central reels are replaced by new symbols falling from above in the wrap-around reel. Gaps that are left in the wrap-around reel are filled from the bottom left.
8. All mystery symbols which land will change at random into one of the regular symbols.
9. We always encourage you to play responsibly. Gambling games are for adults only and if you choose to play for real money then make sure before you start playing that you know how much you can afford to bet and, potentially, lose. Once the game stops being fun you should quit.

Go Fish bonus features

Whale Whirlpool

During the base game a whale may appear and create a whirlpool which will produce a new reel configuration. Any resulting wins will be paid as normal.

Expanding Wild Puffer Fish

A puffer fish substitutes for all symbols except the Go Fish! scatter. If a puffer fish lands on the reels and no win follows it may expand to the size of 2 symbols high and 2 symbols wide. If there is still no win it may expand again until it fills the whole central grid. In this case a win is guaranteed and all winning combinations are paid.

Free Spins

If 3 or more Go Fish! scatters land anywhere you win the free spins bonus starting with 8 free spins. Additional scatters will each add 2 more free spins up to a maximum of 42. Each winning cascade increases the multiplier by 1. The multiplier active at the start of the cascade applies.

Free Spins Gamble

You can gamble any free spins for more free spins using the gamble wheel. A maximum of 25 free spins can be won. The expected payback is 100%.

Water Wheel Bonus

During free spins, water wheel symbols replace the Go Fish! scatters. 3 or more symbols activate the Water Wheel bonus in which the wheel spins to land on a bonus enhancement.

Gamble

This allows you the option to gamble any winnings once they are above 5x the stake.

Spin Chance

If your credit falls below the current price of play you can wager what is left to try and win an additional spin.

Go Fish review: our verdict

A bit cute, but nicely realised, Go Fish has lots of little extras going on so you’re never far away from an interesting feature. There’s plenty to hold the attention and if only the RTP were higher we’d recommend it thoroughly.
