Plenty O’ Fish

Plenty O' Fish: Slot Overview

Top o' the gosh darned morning players. Here's one for you that combines two of the most popular, longer-serving, and some may say, most overdone topics in slots – leprechauns and fishing. The name of this integration of tropes is Plenty O' Fish, and it's a Blueprint Gaming creation that works hard to live up to its hybrid name. It's also a slot that prospective players will probably know if it's right for them or not just by the title. The game has tweaks, of sorts, but it is at heart a money symbol collection fish slot game where a jolly Celtic supernatural being reels in rewards, end of.

A highlight of the game is definitely Plenty O' Fish's soundtrack. It's a bit repetitive, but the fiddle-heavy music did make the game easier to digest than it might have been. Visually, Plenty O' Fish finds itself by a river or pond where fish wiggle their tails about to push them through the water, plants abound, and the green Irish grass gets into the picture, as well. Mix in rainbows, gold, and a leprechaun, and you've got a meeting point of two ultra-common slot themes in one conveniently neat, or nauseating, spot.

Centre stage is taken up by Plenty O' Fish's gaming grid, where 6 reels hold 4 symbols each, and 4,096 ways have been built in. That's a lot of ways for a fairly simple fishing slot which often make do with as little as 10 paylines. When it comes to bet selection, 10 c to $/€10 are the levels, and there is neither bonus buy nor ante bet available. Like fishing, you dangle out the bait and have to sit patiently for the nibbling to occur. While doing so, note that the volatility is high, though an RTP of 94% is less so.

Pay symbols, these are made up of 9-A card ranks for lows, then a manky boot, a hook, a tackle box, a reel, and a pot o' gold as the highs. Hitting a winning way of 6 matching low pays gets you 1x to 1.5x the bet, whereas 6 matching high pays award 2 to 5 times the bet. Hitting on all reels except the leftmost reel is Plenty O' Fish's wild, which substitutes for all regularly paying symbols.

Plenty O' Fish: Slot Features

Moving to features now, Plenty O' Fish reels in Cash symbol collects, jackpots, upgrades, and free spins.

Cash Collect

Cash symbols are active on all reels on any spin, while the Cash Collect fisherman symbols are active on the leftmost and rightmost reel. Landing Cash symbols at the same time as a Cash Collect symbol awards their values. Moreover, Jackpot Gold symbols are also collected when a Cash Collect symbol is simultaneously in view. They are the Mini, Minor, Major, and Mega, paying 15x, 25x, 250x, and 2,500x the bet, respectively.

When a Gold Coin symbol hits, it is added to the treasure chest above the reels. If the chest closes, an upgrade is awarded:

• Boost – any Cash symbols that land in view with a Cash Collect symbol are boosted before being awarded.
• Respin – when Cash symbols and Cash Collect symbols are in view, the Cash symbols are held while the reels respin.
• Gold Collect – Cash symbols can be collected multiple times.
• Jackpots – one of the jackpots is randomly awarded.
• Bonus – free spins are triggered.

Free Spins

Hitting 3, 4, 5, or 6 scatter symbols triggers 10, 15, 20, or 25 free spins. During free spins, when Gold coins hit, they instantly close the chest to award an upgrade. The upgrades are the same as the base game, except instead of bonus, players can win +5 free spins. Any unused upgrades are held over for the base game.

Plenty O' Fish: Slot Verdict

Ugh, really, why? As if there weren't enough fish slots and leprechaun slots already, do we need another sub-genre that brings them both together? What's next…? Actually, let's not go down that path, lest things which shouldn't really be are awakened, thereby seeping into the world, corrupting all they come into contact with via their malignant touch. Okay, Plenty O' Fish isn't so terrible; it's actually quite the jaunty game, thanks largely to the sunny weather atmosphere provided by a fish slot and bounce given by the leprechaun theme.

If that last sentence didn't cause you to dry heave, then Plenty O' Fish might have something to offer. Credit where it's due; the game has a light-hearted atmosphere, which is perfect for a piscined cash symbol collection game. The upgrade bit is a neat add-on, and having an upgrade sitting by the grid ready to be unloaded on the next cash collect sequence helps build anticipation. Winning potential is a high point, if somewhat pie in the sky, as it's Blueprint Gaming's standard 50,000x the bet (or 250,000 units of equivalent currency) limit. Plenty O' Fish has modest jackpots, free spins, with upgrades crossing to and fro from the base game to the bonus round, or vice versa. There are positives for the right people.

To quick capsule review Plenty O' Fish, basically, anyone not fed up with leprechauns or fish, who on the contrary would be keen AF for bringing both of them together, should have a field day with Plenty O' Fish. If not, well, you know, there's a lot of other options that aren't as richly cliched as this.
