Golden Fish Tank Party Slot Review

Golden Fish Tank Party Slot Overview

Golden Fish Tank Party is a casino slot from Yggdrasil and a new addition to a beloved series…or is it?

Golden Fish Tank was released in 2016 and became hugely popular due to its, at the time, innovative mechanics and bright visuals. It’s one of the few games from back then that we believe could be released today and still see big success. Its sequel, Golden Fish Tank 2, strayed away from the game’s original simplicity a bit but still managed to keep its core alive, that time with GigaBlox. So when we saw the title Golden Fish Tank Party, we clicked the demo faster than ever before with our nostalgic fingers. Sadly, we were met with a game that didn’t resemble the original games in any way. Sure, it’s still underwater and contains fish, but that’s where the similarities end. But hey, it might still be a fun game. Let’s dive in!

Golden Fish Tank Party is a video slot from Yggdrasil with 6 reels, 4 rows, and 4096 payways. Players can choose between making a Min.bet of 0.20 and a Max.bet of 160. The game has a default RTP of 94%, but there is also a version with 90.5%. Its hit frequency of 14.5%, implies that, on average, you can expect a winning combination on every 6.9th spin or so. Lastly, Golden Fish Tank Party is played at high volatility and can net you a max win of 6000x the bet. 

Mechanically, everything is different from its predecessors. The features of Golden Fish Tank Party are Cash and Collector Symbols, Multiplier, Free Spins, Feature Buy, and Extra Bet.

Golden Fish Tank Party Slot Information

The game takes place in a fish tank (sorry for the spoiler). It’s colorful like Golden Fish Tank was, but there’s something about it that makes it less visually appealing, we just can’t put a finger on what.

Golden Fish Tank Party can be played on most common mobile devices and desktops. A winning combination is made by landing 3 or more matching symbols on consecutive reels, starting from the leftmost reel.

The lower-paying symbols include shells colored light blue, blue, green, purple, red, and yellow. A winning combination of 6 with one of these pays 0.25x-0.50x the bet. The higher-paying symbols consist of fish colored blue, green, purple, red, and yellow. Six-of-a-kind with these pays 0.75x-6x the bet. Cash symbols, Collector symbols, and Scatter symbols are also available, but more on that in a bit.

Golden Fish Tank Party Slot Features

What is the max win in the slot Golden Fish Tank Party?

You can win up to 6000x the bet.

What features are available in the slot Golden Fish Tank Party?

The features of Golden Fish Tank Party are Cash and Collector Symbols, Multiplier, Free Spins, Feature Buy, and Extra Bet.

Cash and Collector Symbols

Cash symbols with various values attached to them can land. If a Collector symbol lands on the same spin, you are awarded the cash value. 

Multiplier

If one or more Cash symbols land without a Collector symbol, each Cash symbol adds 1 point to the Multiplier progress bar. Once it reaches 20 points, the Multiplier increases by 1, and the bar resets. This continues until you either trigger a Cash & Collect combination or the Free Spins. The multiplier will multiply any Cash & Collect combination or be applied to the Free Spins feature. After one of those has occurred, the multiplier goes back to 1x. 

Free Spins

Landing 3 or more Scatter symbols triggers the Free Spins feature, at which point you are awarded one of two modes: Cash Free Spins or Wild Free Spins. 

Cash Free Spins

Landing 3, 4, 5, or 6 Scatter symbols awards 4, 6, 8, or 12 Cash Free Spins, respectively. During Cash Free Spins, at least one Collect symbol and one Cash symbol are guaranteed on each spin. The Multiplier present at the moment of triggering Free Spins applies to all Cash wins throughout Cash Free Spins.

Wild Free Spins

Landing 3, 4, 5, or 6 Scatter symbols awards 10, 15, 20, or 30 Wild Free Spins, respectively. During Wild Free Spins, Wild symbols are available and can substitute for other paying symbols. Each Wild gets the Multiplier present in the base game at the moment of triggering Free Spins. 

Feature Buy

The Free Spins feature can be bought at a cost of 72x the bet. You get to choose if you want the Cash Free Spins or Wild Party Free Spins. The multiplier awarded at the trigger is random. 

Extra Bet

The Extra Bet can be activated at an additional cost of 50% of your bet per spin, doubling the chance to trigger Free Spins.

Golden Fish Tank Party Slot Conclusion

Yggdrasil, why? Why did you trick us into thinking this would be an actual Golden Fish Tank sequel when it has nothing to do with it? We may be getting more upset here than we should over a slot release, but we were hoping for something epic. Oh well, let’s stop dwelling on the title of the game and discuss what we think of the slot itself.

The game is pretty, and we generally like these colorful types of games as they bring a chill vibe to the session. The graphics could be sharper, though. In fact, the Golden Fish Tank release back in 2016 arguably looked better than this. It’s not bad, though, we just know that Yggdrasil can create really beautiful products. Sadly, the mechanics follow that same trend, not offering the eventful bonus games that we are used to, especially not from a Golden Fish Tank title. With that said, there will probably be a lot of people that enjoy the game. Its mechanics are straightforward, which is a similar recipe to prominent games like Big Bass. So, despite our negative tone, we don’t hate the game, but its title made us think that we had a banger in front of us.  

Golden Fish Tank Party from Yggdrasil is not really an addition to the legendary series, but a standalone game with two different bonus games.
