Wild Fishin Wild Ways (Yggdrasil Gaming) – Review & Demo Play

Wild Fishin' Wild Ways - Slot Overview

As a fishin’ slot fan, I warmed to the setting straight away. The base game sits above the waterline near a quaint seaside town at sunrise, with a seaweed-coated 5x3 grid showing 243 ways on a counter. It carries a vaguely Pixar, Finding Nemo quality without going overboard, and when free spins land the action shifts beneath the waves. Jelly, in tandem with Yggdrasil, gives the genre a money collect slant while bending the usual rules rather than breaking them.

The result feels familiar yet different. Normal ways wins land from three to five matches, but the key is how wilds interact with fish symbols. A fisherman wild can do more than substitute, setting up a Wild Fishin’ sequence that feeds into Wild Ways and an expanded panel later on. That mix keeps base spins lively enough, then tees up the heavier stuff when features fire. I like that shift from calm surface play to deeper waters when the grid grows.

Wild Fishin’ Wild Ways Metrics Overview

Here’s the nuts and bolts. It’s a 5-reel, 3-row slot with 243 ways that can stretch to 1,944 ways in feature play. Stakes run from 0.25 to 100. RTP comes in several versions, topped by 95.1%, with 94.0%, 90.5%, and 86.0% also out there, so shop the model. Volatility is high, and hit rate sits at around 24.18% – roughly one in four or five spins. Top win is listed at 2,000x the bet, so pacing and streaks matter.

Wild Fishin' Wild Ways - Slot Features

The wild shows the fisherman and can stand in for anything bar the Bonus. Two wilds on reels 1 and 2 spark the Wild Fishin’ feature. Any fish on reel 3 get caught, and if at least one bites there, reel 4 becomes eligible. Land fish on reels 3 and 4 together and you can then catch reel 5. This left-to-right activation is the Wild Ways bit, and it gives a proper collect feel without needing a separate collect symbol.

Fish values step up by reel. Prizes on reel 3 run from 0.5x to 4x, on reel 4 from 4x to 15x, and on reel 5 from 15x up to 250x. When the chain keeps flowing, it builds nicely, and that’s where I’ve seen the slot show its teeth. It’s not throwing this sequence every other spin in the base, but when it lines up, those successive catches across the grid give the money collect idea a fresh lick.

Free Spins in Wild Fishin' Wild Ways

Free spins arrive two ways. Either 3 Bonus symbols on reels 3, 4, and 5, or the Wild Fishin’ feature is active with a scatter dropping on reel 3. Both routes grant 10 free spins. During the round, reels 3 to 5 can expand up to 6 rows high when Wild Fishin’ triggers, pushing ways up to 1,944. Expanded reels reset for the next spin. Land a Bonus during a Wild Fishin’ sequence in the round and you get +5 extra spins.

Symbols and Paytable in Wild Fishin' Wild Ways

The paytable keeps it plain. Lows are wooden J, Q, K, A ranks. High pays are fishing rods, worms, boats, and birds. Five of a kind on the lows pays 0.5x to 1x the bet, while five high pays land from 2.5x up to 10x. The wild shows the fisherman, and it substitutes for everything except the Bonus symbol. That Bonus is your scatter for triggering the round. It’s a tidy spread that fits the fish/money collect angle.

Wild Fishin' Wild Ways - Slot Verdict

Jelly’s take hits the sea-going vibe and the fish/money collect loop I want from this theme. The Wild Ways chain gives it a distinct rhythm, and the growing grid under the waves adds drama without getting fussy. On my sessions, the Wild Fishin’ bit didn’t pop that often in the base, which lines up with the write-up, but it does show up more in the round. When it rolls across reels 3-5, the snowball effect is very real.

Value wise, you’re dealing with high volatility and a top end that caps at 2,000x. That number won’t sway players chasing huge ladders, yet paired with a 24%ish hit rate it makes sense for steady base play with spiky bursts. The collect values stepping from 0.5-4x to 4-15x to 15-250x do the heavy lifting, so patience pays when wilds arrive on the first two reels. I’d pick the highest RTP version available before settling in.

My take is simple. If you’re cool with the cap and enjoy fishin’ slots that bend the rules a touch, this is worth a cast. It meets what I'd hope to see in an angling slot, gives the money symbol collect a twist, and looks the part. The better runs happen when Wild Fishin’ chains, especially in free spins with the extra rows. That’s where the game shows its bite, and it keeps me coming back for another throw.
