Alaska is widely celebrated for some of the cleanest (and coldest) fresh water lakes in the world. This makes them ideal for fishing and therefore a fantastic theme for a video slot. Alaskan Fishing not only looks good but also impresses with a 5,000 coin jackpot and a fly fishing inspired bonus round.
Alaskan Fishing Slot Theme
Fishing may not be everyones idea of a perfect hobby but you can’t help deny that Alaskan Fishing is an impressive looking slot. The five reels stand between a rugged frame placed in front of a crystal blue lake. Each of the buttons has been given a fish theme and the icons are vibrant even before you spin the reels.
The icons become increasingly impressive when involved in a winning payout. The eagle swoops down, lures twist and turn, reels spool up and salmon leap from the water. Each of the icons offers something different and it’s obvious a great deal of work has been put into designing each one.
It’s hard to match a sound effect with fishing but we think the ones used are ideally suited. During normal spins a soothing music track plays whilst every win causes a more upbeat riff to blare out. If this isn’t to your liking then a volume or full blown mute button can be used (located at the top of the screen).
Betting options and functions
Before we go on it’s worth mentioning that Alaskan Fishing includes 243 paylines which is great deal more than many other slots. These are preset and the flanks show 243 ways to win which is great, just bare in mind that this means you’ll be using a minimum of 243 coins per spin.
You can select from a range of coin options including 0.01, 0.02 and 0.05. This creates a betting range of 0.01 to 30 which can be further tweaked by placing 1 to 10 coins per line. This boosts the range to a maximum of 300.
A gold band beneath the slot includes a number of options including a button marked expert. This adds an automatic play button which can be programmed with any number of spins (in multiples) to 500.
Alaskan Fishing Slot Features
That Alaskan Fishing logo is wild, appears on all reels as stacks and can substitute for any standard icon. It also possesses an impressive animated sequence on par with the icons on the slot.
The tackle box contains an anglers arsenal, the tools needed to bag a prize catch. On this slot the tackle box icon can award 15 free spins when 3, 4 or 5 symbols appear anywhere on the reels. Any wins gained during the free spins are doubled and free spins can be retriggered.
The fly fishing bonus game is activated when an angler icon appears on reels 1 and 5 at the same time. You are given five chances to hook a fish with every successful bite awarding a bonus ranging from 2x and 15x your triggering stake. It’s much like fishing as you could end up hooking a tiddler or behemoth, we know which one we’d prefer!
Our Take on Alaskan Fishing
This is a visually impressive slot which further impresses with features, betting options and sound effects. Alaskan Fishing is one slot with a good all round offering and we don’t even like fishing, so if you do we’re certain you’ll love it.
