Slingo Gold Fish Review & Free Play

Slingo Gold Fish: Sling Your Luck, for the Underwater Fish May Yield 1,000x Rewards

Slingo Originals has once again presented an underwater colony of fish, offering up to 1,000x returns with the Gold Fish bingo. To test out its five different bonus types and unorthodox gameplay loop, I didn’t delay sinking into the coral reef’s marine life. Here’s what I managed to pull out from my long, deep dive.

There are five reels and six rows with 12 paylines. However, the five rows above the sixth are entirely dependent on the single active bottom row, where the actual spinning takes place.

To give you a brief overview of this bingo, there are 25 random numbers sitting on the inactive grid, and you need to land matching numbers on the active row to trigger paylines. Each round gives you 10 spins, and you must land hits on at least five paylines to trigger the bonus round, which is the primary way to secure returns.

The RTP sits at 98.38% in this coral setting. However, likely due to its high volatility, I was unable to land a win even in my first 10 rounds. To put that into perspective, that’s 100 spins of the bottom reel without any returns.

But to my surprise, on the 11th round, I hit seven pay ways and triggered the Fish Food bonus. There, I managed to collect a 21x return before three turtles brought the feature to an end.

So yes, it was taking me around 10 to 11 rounds to land a reward naturally, with average returns between 6x and 7x my bet. If you fail to complete a winline within your spins, you can buy extra spins up to 40. However, each additional spin becomes more expensive, and with no guarantee of returns, it can quickly drain your bankroll.

At the same time, there are several base game features designed to help you form wins. Such as regular wilds and super wilds, which can mark any number needed to complete a line. Free spin symbols also appear fairly often, so it’s worth keeping that in mind before relying too heavily on bonus triggers.

In the end, I found Slingo Gold Fish to be following the familiar high-risk, high-reward formula seen in most Slingo games. If you enjoy longer sessions and a more drawn-out build-up, it can keep you engaged. However, if you prefer quicker and more rewarding gameplay, there are some good alternatives available below.
