Fish ‘n’ Nudge (Push Gaming) – Review & Demo Play

Fish 'n' Nudge - Slot Overview

As I loaded Fish 'n' Nudge, the underwater scene set the tone. Transparent reels sit over weeds and rising bubbles, with a calm tune ticking along. The setup uses 5 reels and 4 rows with 20 fixed lines. Stakes run from 10p to £100, and there is a Push Bet that adds 20% to the stake while lifting the chance of landing the feature by 42%. That tweak nudges the RTP from 96.40% to 96.41%, a small shift that still matters for grinders.

The model is tagged medium volatility, though my sessions felt spikier at times. The base can tick over on line wins, yet the game wakes up when Net stacks drop, as they drive most of the momentum. I liked how everything funnels towards instant prizes and multipliers rather than clutter. It stays readable on mobile, and the interface gets out of the way, which suits long spins. Max potential sits high for the genre at 10,000x stake.

Symbols and Payouts in Fish 'n' Nudge

The low pays are Blue, Green, Orange, and Pink Shells, paying 1x to 1.5x for five. Medium symbols are Purple and Green Lures worth up to 7.5x and 10x. High wins come from the Fish set, the Fishing Rod, and the Tool Box, with the Rod up to 30x and the Box up to 40x for five. The Fisherman pays like the Tool Box and acts as the wild, substituting for everything except the Bonus and Net.

Fish also carry instant prize values from 0.5x to 1000x the bet. Line wins pay left to right on the 20 fixed paylines with three or more. The Boat serves as the scatter for free spins. The mix of regular line values and attached fish prizes keeps both base hits and feature chases relevant. I kept an eye on where the stacked Nets might land next, as positioning makes a big difference to how often those instant prizes turn into real outcomes.

Bonus Features in Fish 'n' Nudge

Net symbols arrive as overlays in stacks of four and can land on any reel in both modes. After wins are evaluated and you spin again, every Net stack nudges down by one position. Fish that land within a Net award their attached instant prize on the spot. If the Fisherman lands inside a Net, he collects all visible fish prizes across the grid, and when fish sit in Nets as well, their instant prizes still pay after collection.

Three, four, or five Boats trigger free spins with starting multipliers of 1x, 10x, or 25x. Reels two and four begin covered by Nets that drop one step each spin, and every nudge increases the total multiplier by one. That multiplier only applies to instant prizes from the Fish symbols. New Nets can appear to keep the round alive, and the feature only ends when all Nets leave view. The very last nudge does not raise the multiplier.

There is a Bonus Buy with four picks. You can buy entry with 3 scatters at 42x, 4 scatters at 87x, 5 scatters at 163x, or a random scatter amount at 100x. The listed RTPs for these buys are 96.23%, 96.99%, 96.25%, and 96.70%. Push Bet sits alongside buying for those who prefer to play it in naturally by upping stake by 20% for a higher trigger rate. Both routes felt viable depending on bankroll and appetite for variance.

How to Win at Fish 'n' Nudge

It plays on 20 permanent paylines, paying left to right with three or more matching symbols. Tap the Coins icon to set stakes from 10p to £100. Hit Spin or press the spacebar to roll, or use Autoplay for a batch of spins. Turbo is available via the lightning symbol. The paytable and rules sit in the Menu. My rhythm was simple: stable base stakes, patience for Net stacks, and a readiness to adjust when free spins multipliers started to climb.

Fish 'n' Nudge RTP, Volatility and Max Win

The slot is offered with several RTP settings. The headline figure is 96.40%, though some operators use lower profiles such as 95.49%, 94.38%, 90.42%, or 88.48%. Push Bet nudges the figure to 96.41%. Bonus Buys list RTPs between 96.23% and 96.99% depending on the option chosen. Volatility sits in the medium bracket on paper, yet it can punch above that during lean runs. The max exposure reaches 10,000x, with multipliers in free spins applying only to fish instant prize wins.

The Final Thoughts on Fish 'n' Nudge

For me, the game works because the focus is tight. Nets nudge, fish prizes pop, and the Fisherman ties it together without muddying the screen. Base play has clear spikes when stacked Nets show up, and free spins can snowball if fresh Nets keep landing while the multiplier rises. When they drop off early, it cools fast, so timing matters.

As a first instant prize collector from this studio, it feels well judged. I liked having both Push Bet and a clean set of Bonus Buy tiers. If you enjoy fishing slots that mix line wins with on-reel cash prizes and a single multiplier that grows in a predictable way, this one hits the brief while keeping the pace lively.
