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

Introduction 

Rich Fish is developed by Apollo Games slots. It implements a bright and colourful aquatic theme and offers players 5 different ways in which they might win. Played on the classic configuration of 5 reels and 3 rows, the game brings players the added fun of a gamble feature as well as the potential to increase winning combinations using the expanding wilds. 

There are 11 regular symbols appearing on the reels during the game. These include the turtle, a striped fish, jellyfish, a blue and yellow fish, sea horse, starfish, and a crab, as well as the classic playing card symbols A, K, Q, and J.

The wild symbol depicts an octopus: this symbol will substitute for any other symbol appearing on the reels to help make winning combinations. Not only that, but the wild will also expand to fill its reel and increase its potential to bring you luck.

For those players who might think about playing this game with real money: it’s a very good idea to play the free demo version of the game first to see if you like it and to get a feel for the game’s variance level.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack 

Rich Fish’s aquatic theme is bright and colourful. The graphics really are very well implemented, and we see a number of fishy characters adorning the reels, such as the octopus, turtle, and many more of their aquatic friends.

Animation is used to good effect, as we see the game brought to life with features such as the gently bobbing symbols that look to be swaying in the current, as well as the motion of the fish in the background and rising bubbles from the ocean floor.

The ambient sound of the ocean can be heard softly whooshing in the background, and a gentle island type beat plays to liven things up.

Rich Fish RTP and Variance 

The theoretical return to player value of Rich Fish is reported to be 95% RTP, which falls into the average bracket. In terms of variance, we thought the game seemed to be medium-high, although no official data has been published on this.

How to Play Rich Fish

Get your flippers on and join in the fun in a splash:

1. First, set your preferred bet level by pressing the ‘Bet’ window in the bottom right, then use the + and - buttons.
2. Once your bet level is set, you can see tailored amounts in the paytable. Just press the menu button followed by the (second from the top) coin stack symbol.
3. While you’re there, scroll to the bottom to see the 5 paylines.
4. If you prefer, adjust audio using the toggle inside the settings menu.
5. When you’re ready to spin, press the ‘Start’ button in the bottom right corner.
6. Remember to always gamble responsibly and to walk away if it stops being fun: we do offer several timeout and self-exclusion features to help you gamble more safely.

Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins 

The minimum bet level is 0.20 and the maximum is 60.00. This provides a fairly wide range of wagering options to suit different player requirements.

Viewing the paytable is the best way to see how much you can win. However, if the maximum bet was to be placed, and 5 identical symbols were matched on a payline, some of the top potential prizes include:

• 30,000 on the striped fish
• 15,360 on the turtle
• 7,680 on the blue and yellow fish

All wins are paid out based on 3, 4, or 5 identical symbols appearing from left to right on a payline. Only one win per payline can be paid, with wins on multiple lines being added together and paid out at the end of each spin.

Rich Fish Bonus Features 

In the base game, there’s a gamble feature available where you can decide whether to gamble (by pressing the gamble button that appears bottom left) immediately after any winning spin. The simple idea is that you must guess whether the next playing card drawn from a deck will be red or black. You can choose to bet half of your win or play for doubling the full amount and can press the ‘Take’ button to exit whenever you like.

The other bonus feature that’s available in Rich Fish is the multiplier bonus. This is where you can multiply any winnings gained from lining up identical A, K, Q, or J symbols on the reels. If you line up 3 of them on the first 3 reels the winnings are multiplied by 3, line up 4 on the first 4 reels and they’re multiplied by 4, and line up 5 across all 5 reels and the winnings are multiplied by 5. 

Overall Rich Fish Review 

Overall, we really enjoyed playing Rich Fish. The colourful graphics were well produced and nicely animated. We particularly liked the big greedy looking octopus wild symbol who likes to stretch out to fill those reels. We did note, however, that the bright colourful graphics combined with the cute sea creatures may appeal to children.
The game rules were straightforward enough and we liked that there was a gamble feature too. However, we felt that the variance was a little high with some large but infrequent potential prizes on the table. Additionally, it would also have been nice if there were free spins on offer. Maybe players would like to try the Fishin Frenzy slot which has 10 paylines and a slightly higher RTP.
