Fat Fish Festival

About Fat Fish Festival

Fat Fish Festival is a fishing themed slot from Wishbone Games, released on 26 March 2025 and distributed across the Games Global network. The grid runs five reels and four rows with 20 fixed paylines, but the part players tend to remember sits above the reels rather than on them. Five treasure chests line the top of the screen, one per reel, and each holds a different modifier that stays dormant until a Fisherman Scatter opens it.

Wishbone Games has built most of its catalogue around collect and modify mechanics, and this title runs the same idea. Fish symbols land carrying cash values, the Fisherman collects whatever is on screen, and the chests you managed to open decide what those values are worth by the time the round ends. At Midnite the game is configured with a 94% RTP, and stakes start from £0.20 per spin.

How to Play Fat Fish Festival

Stakes at Midnite start from £0.20 per spin. Base game wins pay from the leftmost reel across adjacent reels, needing three or more matching symbols along one of the 20 fixed lines, and the Wild substitutes for standard paying symbols to help complete them. Card royals from 10 through to Ace make up the low end of the paytable, with fishing gear icons paying more.

Fisherman Scatters carry the bonus. Landing one opens the chest above the reel it appears on and starts the Free Spins round with a minimum of 10 spins, with each additional chest opened adding three more. Fish symbols then land with cash values attached and the Fisherman collects them, and the opened chests determine what happens next: a multiplier of up to 5x, an added value on top, an upgrade of collected symbols to a higher tier, or a respin. Open the middle chest and all of the modifiers run at once. The in game help screen sets out each chest and its exact behaviour.

Fat Fish Festival Features

• Fisherman Scatter and Free Spins: A single Fisherman Scatter opens the chest above its reel and awards at least 10 Free Spins. Every further chest opened adds three more spins to the count.
• Fish Money Symbols: Fish land with cash values attached, reported by UK sources across a range that runs from 0.2x up to 1,000x stake per symbol. The Fisherman collects every value on screen when he appears.
• Multiplier Chest (reel 1): Applies a multiplier of up to 5x to collected Fish values during the Free Spins round.
• Adder Chest (reel 2): Adds a further amount on top of the collected Fish values rather than multiplying them.
• Golden Chest (reel 3): The centre chest activates every modifier at once and runs the round at 19 Free Spins.
• Symbol Upgrade Chest (reel 4): Promotes collected Fish symbols to a higher value tier.
• Respin Chest (reel 5): Adds a hold and respin element to the bonus, with heart symbols governing how the respins play out.
• Wild: Substitutes for standard paying symbols in the base game and does not replace the Fisherman Scatter.

Fat Fish Festival Theme and Symbols

The setting is a bright cartoon fishing scene rather than anything gritty, with a boat, a rod, a hook and a can of worms sitting at the top of the paytable and card royals from 10 to Ace filling the lower positions. Colours are warm and the presentation is deliberately light, closer to a village fishing contest than a deep sea expedition.

Special symbols do most of the work. The Wild is a fish marked as such, the Fisherman acts as Scatter and as the collector during the bonus, and the Fish Money symbols carry printed cash values that only pay out once the Fisherman appears. Above the reels, the five chests are distinguished by colour, with the golden one in the middle marking the full modifier round. Audio follows the same relaxed register, with a light festival style backing track that lifts when a chest opens.
