Fishing slot games have become all the rage in the online slot world, and Yggdrasil is another developer who has put plenty of time into the genre. The Golden Fish Tank slots have been a hit for the studio, with Golden Fish Tank and the sequel Golden Fish Tank 2 Gigablox both connecting with audiences. The studio has taken us back into this world for the Golden Fish Tank Party slot game, putting an emphasis on the popular cash-and-collect mechanics that have dominated the fishing genre. Does this do enough to stand out in increasingly busy waters? Join me as I spin the reels and find out in this Golden Fish Tank Party slot review. 

If you have ever played any of the previous Golden Fish Tank slots, you will have a good idea of what to expect here. Yggdrasil has opted for a ‘if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it’ approach, with the slot sticking with the same charming and fun design as the original titles. 

The fish are presented in a cartoon world, each with its own quirky characteristics. Fun animations and an upbeat soundtrack bring this to life. The game’s playful design also lends itself really nicely to mobile play, with a mobile-app-like feel. 

The base game in the Golden Fish Tank Party slot keeps things fairly conventional. The slot uses a 6x4 game grid, with 4,096 ways to win on each spin. Wins are formed when you land three or more matching symbols across consecutive reels, starting on the leftmost reel. 

Clicking the coins beneath the reels will allow you to adjust the stake. I found the game’s betting range of $0.20-$100 to be very flexible. 

Golden Fish Tank Party is filled with a variety of features. Let's dive into the details.

I had a mixed experience when playing Golden Fish Tank for real money. I set my stake at $1 per spin and used the autospin feature for 50 spins. My initial 30 spins were pretty fruitless, with two small wins being all paid out. 

During this time, I managed to build the Multiplier up to 4x, which proved to be beneficial when I landed my first Collect win of 6x, which paid out at 24x with the multiplier applied. I would then hit another Collect win three spins later, this time for 4x, but with no multiplier active. 

The 50 spins ended without the bonus rounds triggering, so I played the slot for free and took them both for a test spin by using the Buy Bonus feature. I found them both to be rewarding in different ways, with the Cash Party Free Spins bonus looking to have the most potential for big wins. 

Like other modern Yggdrasil slots, Golden Fish Tank Party does have a disappointingly low RTP, coming in at just 94% and being below what I would consider average. The game’s maximum win of 6,000x is okay, but it is not likely to blow anybody away. Yggdrasil has given the slot a high-volatility rating. 

Golden Fish Tank Party is a departure from previous games in the series in terms of gameplay, but it maintains the same visual charms as its predecessors. Unfortunately, the gameplay changes don’t connect quite as well. 

The switch to the Cash-and-Collect gameplay style leaves the game feeling like many others in the genre, and while the two Free Spins rounds provide some good action, there is an overwhelming feeling that there are similar games elsewhere that offer more. This feeling is further compounded by the disappointing RTP and uninspiring 6,000x maximum win. 

If you enjoy the fishing genre, I would highly recommend the two previous Golden Fish Tank titles: Golden Fish Tank and Golden Fish Tank 2 Gigablox. Of course, you should also check out some titles in the Big Bass Bonanza slot series, with Big Bass Hold & Spinner Megaways being a personal favorite.
