Fishin' Impossible Introduction
The gameplay of GW's Fishin’ Impossible is quite brilliant - deep under the ocean where some monstrous fishes swim. Instead of traditional reels, fish and flotsam and jetsam drift past your eyes attached to thick fishing line. There's some weird species here, including a robot fish and a radio controlled shark who’ll pay out 1,000 coins when you land 5 on a payline.
There’s a super soundtrack and the graphics are incredible, with everything brilliantly animated in a cracking cartoon style. This game will suit any style of play, with stakes between 0.4 coins all the way up to 200 a spin. Obviously, the higher you’re willing to bet, the bigger the win - hit the right spot and you could land a 50,000 coin prize for one fish alone!
The one that got away
Where some games frustrate you because nothing ever really happens, Fishin’ Impossible has one of the best bonus rounds in any slot. What makes it so good? Instead of simply spinning or picking a prize, the bonus here requires some skill to manoeuvre your wiggling worm into the mouth of the biggest, most lucrative fish. Simply land two bonus symbols with the Go Fishing symbol to unlock the fishing bonus.
You’ll be asked to choose your fishing pond and then your spot, which determines what fish are about. The more fish and stars you collect, the more new fish, fishing ponds and bait you’ll unlock, so each time you can hook a bigger and better catch. Hook a tiddler and you can throw it back in pursuit of a bigger fish, but beware - you might catch something smaller rather than bigger, if you don’t get the larger fish to take the bait.
It’s a bonus with an element of skill and judgement that really adds an extra dimension to this terrific slot.
Something fishy
You can also land 5 free spins with a giant wild on the middle reel. Look out for the recast freespin that can randomly generate and will always hook a prize. There’s also a conventional wild - a small goggle-eyed fish with a mouthful of jagged teeth that on closer inspection spell out ‘wild’ - this creates winning combinations across your paylines for more payouts.
Fisherman's friend
Fishin’ Impossible is quite simply brilliant, incredibly lucrative when you hit those bonus rounds and great to watch, even when you’re not netting a big win. The attention to detail - with each fish swimming past the reels triggering its own sound effect, for example - and the brilliant bonus gameplay make this one you’ll want to take with you next time you go fishing.
