Fishtastic (Red Tiger Gaming) – Review & Demo Play

Fishtastic - Slot Overview

Fishtastic sets up a 5x3 grid with 25 fixed paylines and a special extra reel on the left where Diver symbols can appear. It plays out under the sea with bright coral, a jaunty soundtrack, and a light cartoon touch. The twist is that a diver snaps fish and collects their stake multipliers when both land together. Progress flows from base game to free spins and then a bonus stage, with a default RTP of 95.65% and potential up to 6,125.3x the bet.

Symbols and Paytable in Fishtastic

Low pays are 10, J, Q, K, and A. Five of a kind returns sit between 2x and 3x the stake, while three or four of a kind bring the expected smaller bumps. The premium set is a cast of fish in green, blue, orange, pink, and gold, paying 4x to 40x for five across. Wins land left to right on adjacent reels over the 25 lines. Scatters trigger features, and the jellyfish wild can form lines as the top pay symbol.

Fish do double duty by carrying stake multipliers collected by Divers. Ranges are green 0.3x to 2x, blue 0.5x to 5x, orange 0.7x to 10x, pink 1x to 20x, and gold 2x to 30x. The wild jellyfish also holds instant values of 5x, 10x, 20x, 30x, or 50x. New fish types are added over time and are tied to the stake used when they first appear, so progress is stored per bet level rather than shared across stakes.

Bonus Features in Fishtastic

The Diver and Golden Diver only appear on the special left reel and land fully stacked. When one shows, it collects every visible fish and wild cash value in a single sweep. The Golden Diver does the same job but applies a 3x modifier to the total. The camera motif fits nicely, and that clean collect flow is where a lot of the punch lives, especially when several higher fish values settle together.

Progression is steady. You start with the green fish only. Each time free spins begin, the next fish in line is added in this order: blue, orange, pink, then gold. After all five fish have been added, the wild becomes available as a pay symbol and a value carrier. That extra reel often sits empty, which builds anticipation, but when a Diver drops, the board state matters far more than line hits.

Free Spins in Fishtastic

Three scatters award 5 free spins. On entry, the next fish in the sequence is added to the reels for all future play on that stake. During free spins, a Diver or Golden Diver lands on every spin, so the round revolves around lining up as many value-bearing symbols as possible and letting the collector do its sweep. Retriggers are possible, and this stage usually moves progression along rather quickly compared to the base.

Bonus Prizes in Fishtastic

Once all fish and the wild have been added, the next free spins round shifts the progress bar to a fixed prize ladder. Land 4 or more scatters at once to claim 50x, 250x, 1,000x, or 5,000x the bet for 4, 5, 6, or 7 plus scatters. In the free spins round that activates this ladder, only a retrigger can award one of those fixed prizes. It is a tidy top-end target that sits above the collect play.

RTP, Volatility and Max Win in Fishtastic

The default RTP sits at 95.65% and may vary by operator. The model leans medium to high with a listed hit rate around 30.78%, which fits the feel of frequent smaller events and occasional spikes from Diver sweeps. Stakes commonly range from 0.10 to 10 per spin. The headline figure is a 6,125.3x maximum win, which realistically leans on strong collection spins or the fixed prize ladder when multiple scatters land in one go.

How to Win at Fishtastic

Wins pay left to right on 25 lines, but the engine is the extra reel. Aim to land fish with visible values at the same time as a Diver to collect the lot, with the Golden Diver tripling the total. Progress is tied to each bet level, so swapping stakes slows the long game. If you prefer shortcuts, the Feature Buy offers a spin with a guaranteed Diver or Golden Diver, and there is an entry to free spins as well.

I keep stakes steady to build the fish set, then press on once the wild is active. RTP can vary, so I always check the info panel. Free spins tend to land at a fair clip in my sessions, which helps move things along. Dips happen, so set a budget and stick to it. If the board keeps dropping higher fish values, that is the moment to lean on the Diver buy rather than waiting for a natural trigger.
