Online casino games have come a long way since the first one opened in 1996. From simpler fruit machines to the great graphics and bright animations of the digital age, there are now so many games to choose from online.  

With themes galore, it’s no surprise that the most popular have expanded into franchises.

Speaking of the most popular, one of the favourite themes for online slot games is fishing.  

That’s right, the tranquil waters and colourful fishy animations have made a splash in recent years. So, with this in mind, let’s explore just some of the fish-themed games you can play online… 

Fishin’ Frenzy 

Fishin’ Frenzy is one of the most well-known Slots among players, with the original game expanding into a franchise, where the likes of Fishin Frenzy Big Catch and Fishin Frenzy Even Bigger Catch see fisherman, hooks and seagull symbols taking to the reels.  

In this franchise, you’ll find colourful wild and scatter symbols among themed icons and other special features. There’s the chance to unlock free spins in most of the games, as well as the ability to play a Fishin’ Frenzy scratch card! 

But that’s not all, some of the many games in this franchise have also seen Megaways and Jackpot King makeovers – creating even more ways to attempt to make the catch of the day. 

Big Fishing Fortune 

Another brightly coloured fishing game you can play online is Big Fishing Fortune. This game takes place on five-by-three reels and features the chance to win a big fishing bonus.  

With 10 paylines and themed symbols including fisherman wilds, this game features a bonus game in which you can attempt to match three symbols – the larger payouts coming from the larger fish. 

Slingone Fishin’ 

Time to reel in something a little different now, with Slingone fishin’.  

This game of Slingo is a themed fusion between slot games and Bingo, creating a new way to try your chances online. Spin the reels in an attempt to create slingos on the grid. These will help you move up the pay ladder – in turn, adding increasingly valuable fish to the grid. 

A seagull symbol acts as the game’s wild, which allows you to mark any number in the row above where it lands.  

Landing a wheel symbol on the reels will add an extra spin, but boots will block you.  

Keep an eye out for an octopus, as this symbol acts as the super wild, allowing you to mark off any number in the whole grid, and a fishing rod symbol randomly selects a fish from the grid.  

There are 12 paylines and 11 awards on the paytable in this game.

Or, will you be exploring the online casino to see if any other slot themes take your fancy?
