Boat Bonanza Review

The Big Bass Bonanza" range still has a stronghold at the top of the ultra-popular fishing slot genre, but competitors follow close behind. Despite the title, Boat Bonanza is not really a direct competitor to Reel Kingdom’s successful series though, as Play’n Go’s fishing expedition revolves around a somewhat different core concept.

Fishing boats move around above the subsea grid, and they become active at random times to collect fish prizes on the reels below. They can even combine forces to catch all prizes in view, and they can upgrade themselves with multipliers when always active in the bonus round. The retro visuals is a tip of the hat to the original Fishin’ Frenzy, but you get a more solid 5,000x potential in this release.

Boat Bonanza Slot Features

The premium symbols pay between 50 and 200 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and there are no wild symbols in this game. The fish and sea creature Catch Symbols appear on all reels, and they come with prizes up to 1,000x your stake. Catch symbols can also generate line wins up to 40x your stake for 5 on a payline.

Catch symbols are only Collected when a Boat above the grid becomes active in the forefront. Active boats come with colors instead of being silhouetted in greyscale, and each active boat collects all cash prizes on the reel directly underneath.

However, if 2 Collect Boats appear above the same reel, you trigger the Mega Catch feature which awards all catch prizes in view.

You need 3, 4 or 5 scatters in view to trigger the Bonus Round, and this awards 10, 15 or 20 free spins, respectively. You always get 2 active Multiplier Boats in the bonus round, and they catch extra spins symbols, multiplier upgrade symbols and cash prize catch symbols. The boat multiplier boosts the catch cash prizes, and multipliers combine if you trigger the Mega Catch feature.

Whenever a boat collects a cash prize catch symbol, you get a respin where line wins are inactive. Only catch symbols and/or blanks will appear on the respin, and the respins go on as long as at least one boat collects a cash symbol. The regular bonus round continues as the respins feature ends.

Review Summary

The core concept may be inspired by Big Time Gaming’s Golden Catch and Red Tiger’s Bass Boss, but hey, pretty much all games in the fishing genre are inspired by the original Fishin’ Frenzy. It was refreshing to play a fishing slot without the usual Big Bass Bonanza-inspired collection system actually, and the simple visuals and bubble sounds makes this a relaxing and meditative experience.

This is at least true in the base game until you land a Mega Catch, which is bound to raise your pulse a few notches. Line wins are not really something you care too much about in a game like this, but they can deliver on occasions as well. Larger catches are bound to come in the bonus round though, and it’s fun when multipliers keep building and respins prolong the feature. The 5,000x potential makes this a highly competitive release in the fish slot genre, and it’s well worth checking out.
