Gold Fish is a popular online video slot game powered by Williams Interactive. Following the success of the land based version, WMS have developed and released an online version of the classic fish game packed with bonus features and high quality graphics. The aquatic themed game includes images of number of tropical fish and underwater creatures. The game itself is set underwater with a random fish swing past every now and then. The game is equipped with high quality graphics, animation and sound effects. When the reels spin, a type of Caribbean swing music plays gently in the background.
5 Reel Aquatic Themed Slot
Despite its somewhat basic theme, the slot machine setup in Gold Fish includes 5 spinning reels with a total of 25 paylines. On each spin, players can set the number of coins bet per payline. The high the bet, the higher the payouts on each line win. The game also includes a number of bonus features in the form of a Wild symbol, Scatter symbols and fish food bonus round. When it comes to the reel symbols, the various exotic fish play the role of the higher paying symbols.
Aside from the Godl Fish Wild symbol, the orange and white striped fish pays out the most followed by the pink fish, then the blue fish and finally the green and black striped fish. For the lower paying symbols, WMS have used more aquatic themed images. The lower paying symbols include a sea turtle, a hermit crab, sea anemones, a fish scoop and underwater and various underwater plants. This slot is available at various internet casinos.
The Fish Food Bonus Feature
The feature symbol in Gold Fish is the fish food symbol. The fish food plays the role of the scatter symbol and pays out a handsome 2 500 coins for all five across the reels. The fish food is also the key to triggering the fish food bonus feature. To trigger this lucrative bonus feature, players must land 3 or more fish food symbols anywhere on the reels. Once triggered, players will be taken to a second screen where they will be shown various types of fish food. The aim is to match up 3 types of food to win a coin payout. If players match up four of the same food, the payout is doubled. If the turtle food symbol is found, an additional payout is awarded.
High Paying Wilds
The all-important Wild symbol in this game is none other than the Gold Fish itself. As a Wild symbol, the small golden fish can be used to replace any of the other standard reel symbols in order to form a winning combination on any of the 5 reels. The only symbol the fish cannot substitute for is the fish food scatter symbol which plays an important role elsewhere in the game. The Wild symbol is also the highest paying symbol of the game. If players manage to land all five Wilds across the reels, this will trigger the slot jackpot payout of 10 000 for a single coin bet per payline with higher payouts for more coins bet per payline.
