Summer is one of the most relaxing seasons of each year. Sun, fun, vacations, and fishing are on the priority list in the great outdoors. London-based company 4ThePlayer is taking the summertime as an opportunity to release a new version of their popular slot game 4 Fantastic Fish.

Released in June 2022, the original 4 Fantastic Fish game has prizes that can award the player up to 15,000x their bet. A video posted on YouTube in April shows popular social media influencer Brian Christopher, of Brian Christopher Slots, winning an Epic Big Win from the fishing game.

“I love this game,” Christopher says while playing the game online at Chumba Casino. “It’s a very volatile game. On a scale of 1 to 10, this is a 10.” Developer Yggdrasil Gaming says the game has a 96% Return-To-Player (RTP) rating. RTP is a term used in real money gambling and online games to refer to the percentage or prizes that will be returned to a player.

New Addition To 4 Fantastic Fish Series

On June 27, game supplier 4ThePlayer announced the launch of 4 Fantastic Fish Gold Dream Drop, the latest installment and new version in the popular 4 Fantastic Fish series.

“The game features the Dream Drop Jackpot System from Relax Gaming and 4ThePlayer’s player-favorite Money Ways mechanic,” the company said in a press release. “Players can spin the Fortune Wheel to win one of five Dream Drop jackpots: MEGA, MAJOR, MAXI, MIDI, and RAPID.” The added Dream Drop feature can offer high-action, high-frequency jackpots with the right winning combinations.

The Money Ways mechanic allows players to create Ways Wins with cash prizes that increase from left to right on the screen, removing the need for any Collect or Fisherman symbols.

In the Fishing Respins bonus, players can lock and collect Fish cash prizes. But you’re not just looking for fish in the game. Filling up a reel on the screen triggers a shark to combine prizes and multiply them by 2x, creating space for more catches. In the meantime, Giant Squid can appear and swap cash prizes in both the base game and the Fishing Respins bonus for bigger wins. It’s a game filled with sea creatures ready to reward the player with big wins.

“We are delighted to launch 4 Fantastic Fish Gold Dream Drop,” said Henry McLean, co-founder and commercial and marketing director at 4ThePlayer. “This game combines the excitement of the Dream Drop Jackpot with our engaging Money Ways mechanic, providing a unique and rewarding experience for our players. The potential for substantial wins and dynamic gameplay will surely make this a favorite among slot fans.”

The new Dream Drop version has a higher volatility than the original game coming in at an RTP of 94%.

Fishing Games Online

When, or if, the 4 Fantastic Fish Gold Dream Drop game hits the U.S. online casino market remains to be seen. In May, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board granted 4ThePlayer approval to operate in the Commonwealth’s iGaming market. Pennsylvania is the fourth market, following New Jersey, Michigan, and Connecticut, to provide a license to the company.

4 Fantastic Fish can be found at BetMGM, DraftKings, BetRivers, Chumba Casino, and other online casinos.

According to the monthly Online Game Performance Report, the original 4 Fantastic Fish slot game was ranked among the top 25 new slots in January. If you want to play the no.1 ranked slot, then look for IGT’s Cash Eruption, which has keep the top spot for several months.
