Fish & Chips - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Fish & Chips is an underwater online slot developed by Pariplay. This title is played on a five-reel, three-row grid with 25 fixed paylines.

The aim is to match all manner of underwater creatures and items, including crabs, starfish and anchors, to win on the reels.

The wild eel comes with a range of win multipliers. Also available is a scatter shark and a bonus octopus, with the latter triggering an instant win feature.

Theme, graphics & soundtrack

The ‘puntastic’ title of Fish & Chips relates to both the underwater theme and the gambling chips you would hope to win in a casino.

The reels are set against the backdrop of a sunken ship, with a coral reef in the foreground. There is a nice reflective effect behind the symbols, providing the effect of movement in the water.

The reel animations are smooth and the symbols have been well designed. It is easy to differentiate the symbols from one another and the overall graphics have a premium feel.

Fish & Chips RTP and variance

The long-term average RTP of Fish & Chips is 95 per cent which is considerably below the average for online slots of around 96 per cent. The medium variance should provide decent gameplay with a balance between the lowest and highest possible wins. Remember that high wins are unlikely to come around too often, so they should not be relied upon.

 
How to play Fish & Chips

1. The paytable is found by clicking the trophy symbol at the bottom of the screen, beneath the first reel. The paytable displays the payouts, information on how the bonus features can be triggered, and the patterns of the 25 paylines.
2. The full game rules can be found by clicking the question mark to the left of the trophy icon. These will open in a new browser tab.
3. The bet controls are located below the fourth reel. Set your bet by clicking the up and down arrows to cycle through the available options. If you are at the top or bottom of the bet options, the relevant arrow will grey out.
4. To spin the reels once, click the spin button in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen.
5. If you would like to spin the reels automatically, click the button to the direct left of the spin button to open the autoplay menu. This is where you can set off up to 500 spins to run automatically; in addition, you can set an optional loss limit. Autoplay can be stopped at any point by clicking the stop button.
6. Never chase losses when you are playing Fish & Chips, or indeed any other slot. To enjoy gaming responsibly, set yourself a sensible budget and stick to it. If you find that the gameplay is no longer enjoyable, it is time to stop.

Fish & Chips bonus features

Wild

The wild eel symbol substitutes for all game symbols with the exception of the bonus and scatter symbols. When wild symbols appear on the reels and help to create a win, these wins are multiplied. Landing two wilds in a winning combination doubles the win, three multiplies the win by 5x, four multiplies the win by 10x, and five multiplies the win by 5,000x. Needless to say, landing five wilds is virtually impossible.

Scatter

Three or more shark scatter symbols landing anywhere on the wheels will award a payout. The maximum is a 30x multiplier for landing five scatters.

Bonus game

Land three or more octopus bonus symbols anywhere on the reels to launch the bonus game, which will always award you a win. Win levels in the bonus game are dependent entirely on the bet level utilised in the spin that triggered the feature.

Fish & Chips review: our verdict

Fish & Chips looks great and has some fantastic features, including wild multipliers and instant win bonuses; however, the lack of a free spins bonus may be a negative for some players.
