Fisherman’s Bounty Deluxe Slot Review
Fisherman’s Bounty Deluxe is a video slot from Wizard Games that was released on February 24, 2022. Since then, the legendary Fishin' Frenzy has been dethroned by the even more popular Big Bass Bonanza, as well as the 'deluxe' edition follow-up, Bigger Bass Bonanza. It is very evident that Wizard Gaming has come to the conclusion that a Deluxe edition of their first, less memorable, Fisherman's Bounty is likewise a solid idea, and there is no question in our minds about which of the two episodes we favor more. You may now reel in Oyster cash symbols in the standard game as well as in the Deluxe version of Fisherman's Bounty, which comes with additional features as well as a more rigorous mathematical model. This may even cause a Jackpot pick 'em game to be triggered, in which you have the chance to win up to 1,000 times your bet, and the bonus round gives you an unlimited number of retriggers. A Fishin' Frenzy ripoff that, all things considered, is good enough, although the competition in the fishing slot genre is rather fierce. What could possibly be more fun than fishing in a peaceful village? Maybe only when this fishing is done on such a lively grid. The backdrop of this slot has a little harbor with a few red homes, barrels, and several other items that would be useful to fishermen. You will also have the ability, while you are using your free spins, to descend into the depths of the ocean and investigate what is at its bottom. During all of these exciting journeys, you will, of course, be accompanied by soothing music. Read our review to decide whether it is worth your time and money playing this slot.

Our Experience Playing Fisherman’s Bounty Deluxe
When we began playing the game for the first time, we were met with a beautifully designed cartoonish reelset and cheerful, merry music that accompanied it. All of this could be said about its competitors too, so there is nothing to say that this can make this slot stand out among them. The main thing that most gamblers look for is the payout potential. And to test this we used our usual technique of depositing 200 Euros, setting the bet to 1 Euro, and giving it around 300 spins or so. During the course of our first one hundred spins, one of the things that drew our notice was the significant number of dead spins. This was one of the factors that made up the majority of our first concern. On the other hand, with the assistance of a Free Spins bonus round that paid out 58 times the stake, as well as a few solid winnings when playing the regular game, we were able to break even. The next one hundred spins were quite similar during the main game, and no free spins that time which resulted in a loss of about 30 Euros. The final one hundred spins were a little better thanks to the Free Spins bonus round that paid us a decent 45x the bet, but it was not enough to make up for the amount of dead spins we were getting. Overall, after 300 spins we lost 30 Euros and left the game with mixed feelings.
Fisherman’s Bounty Deluxe Verdict
All in all, this is a decent slot if you do not take into consideration its competitors, even though they use slightly different payout mechanics. The graphics and music, just as in every other slot machine produced by Wizard Games, are of the best quality, nevertheless, this is also true of the Big Bass series… If you want to spice up your fishing/gambling experience, you could try this slot out. Otherwise, stick to things that you know work, which is the Big Bass series. Good luck and have fun!
