Fishy Business (TrueLab Games) – Review & Demo Play

Fishy Business Slot Overview

I’ve spent time with Fishy Business from TrueLab, a 5-reel, 3-row slot with 25 paylines and a gangster-fish twist. The default RTP sits at 96.06% with medium volatility and a 45.24% hit frequency, while max win reaches 5000X the bet. Stakes range from a Min.bet of 0.2 to a Max.bet of 200. The headline features are Wild Symbol, Lucky Coin Respin, Bassline Bonanza Free Spins, and a Feature Buy. Marlin Brando and his crew frame a light-hearted undersea setup with tidy maths.

Fishy Business Slot Information

The design leans into an underwater city ruled by gangster fish. The reels sit on a wooden stage with the city in the background, while key buttons line the lower edge. A Feature Buy button sits on the right. It runs well on mobiles, desktops, and tablets. Wins form by landing three or more matching symbols on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel. The layout is clean, and I found the interface simple for quick bet changes and spin control.

Fishy Business lists a default RTP of 96.06% and a medium volatility profile. In practice, the game posts a base hit frequency of 45.24%. Free Spins trigger about once in 225 spins, while Lucky Coin Respin lands about once in 226 spins. The max win is 5000X the bet. Across sessions the cadence felt steady: frequent small hits, with bonus triggers spaced but not rare. That tracks with the figures and keeps the basegame ticking while you chase the main features.

Fishy Business Symbols

The lower-paying symbols are J, Q, K, and A, with five of a kind paying 2X. The higher-paying set covers a rifle, dice, a blue musician, and a golden gangster. Landing five of the same premium symbol pays between 8X and 20X the bet. You need three or more on adjacent reels from the left to score. This spread keeps basegame wins frequent, and the top premiums add some pop when they run across the grid.

The Wild Symbol is a fish in a red hat. It substitutes for all symbols except the Scatter and Coin. Landing 3, 4, or 5 Wilds awards direct pays of 1X, 10X, or 20X the bet. The Scatter is the game logo. Land 3 Scatters and you get a 1X payout and trigger Free Spins. This setup puts in solid work in the basegame, letting Wilds complete lines while Scatters line up the gateway to the feature.

The golden Coin Symbol can land with values of 1X, 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, 6X, 7X, 8X, 10X, 14X, 16X, 18X, 20X, or 24X the bet. It can also appear as a Jackpot Coin: Mini pays 30X and Major pays 100X. Fill the full 5x3 grid with Coin Symbols during the respin feature to claim the Mega Jackpot of 1000X. These fixed amounts give the feature clear targets and keep each locked position meaningful.

Lucky Coin Respin in Fishy Business

Trigger Lucky Coin Respin by landing 6 or more Coin Symbols anywhere in the basegame. The round starts with 3 respins. Only blanks and Coin Symbols can appear. Any new Coin that lands locks in place and resets the counter to 3. Existing Coins stay put until the feature ends. The board builds methodically as you search for a full screen. The steady resets keep tension high between drops and give late rolls real value.

Coin values range from 1X up to 24X, with special Jackpots adding Mini 30X and Major 100X outcomes. Filling all 15 positions delivers the Mega Jackpot worth 1000X the bet. I’ve had grids that looked finished spring back with a late Coin to reset the counter, so you always have a sweat. The feature fits the game’s medium profile: measured most of the time, yet capable of a tidy swing when the board fills out.

Free Spins in Fishy Business

Three Scatters award a 1X payout and trigger 5 Bassline Bonanza Free Spins. During the feature, reels 2, 3, and 4 merge into a single special reel that spins a Giant Symbol. That Giant can be any of the nine ordinary paying symbols and counts as if nine are in view, which raises line pays without extra rules. You can retrigger by landing a Giant Scatter on the merged reel, sometimes with 1 or 2 normal Scatters, to add 3, 4, or 5 spins.

Feature Buy in Fishy Business

If you want to jump straight to the core rounds, the Feature Buy offers two choices. Pay 50X to trigger Lucky Coin Respin with an RTP of 96%. Pay 55X to trigger Free Spins, also at 96% RTP. I used both across test runs; the pricing suits the volatility here. Respin buys lean steady, while Free Spins can spike when the Giant Symbol aligns with high pays. Pick based on mood and balance without overextending.

Fishy Business Demo Version

There’s a demo version of Fishy Business that mirrors the full feature set. It’s handy for learning the Wild, Scatter, and Coin behaviour, plus the timing of Lucky Coin Respin and Bassline Bonanza Free Spins. You can sample symbol weights, feel the 45.24% hit rate, and see how the merged reels behave without risking money. I like running a few hundred spins in demo to gauge bonus cadence and whether the Giant Symbol shows up often enough.

The demo also helps test stake steps and interface flow on mobile or desktop. You get the same 5x3 layout, 25 paylines, and the 5000X ceiling. With the buy options active, you can trial both price points and compare average outcomes. It’s a quick way to check if the medium volatility suits your plan. Once you’re happy with the rhythm, you can switch to real stakes with a clear view of what the slot offers.
