Fishin' Triple Pots of Gold Power Combo Slot – Free Demo

Three pots above a five by three grid

In Ireland, the pot of gold rests at the end of the rainbow. The angler's version of it rests somewhere under the water, and the finest time to go searching is said to be early morning, when the lake is still and the line goes out before anyone else is awake. Not only are large catches fine sport, but for some anglers they hold a deeper meaning. The waiting is the purpose rather than the fish. They bite. They bolt, then they escape the hook, perhaps to return on another cast or another season. In Fishin' Triple Pots of Gold Power Combo, maker Gameburger Studios reconstructs the Irish fishing morning in all its rainy splendour, and this online slot delivers a classic outing to the water's edge, filled with cash symbols, jackpots, collects, feature pots, and free spins.

Fishin' Triple Pots of Gold Power Combo is a full-blown Irish spectacle. It's played on a 5-reel, 3-row game grid, threaded with 10 fixed paylines, and hazy, enigmatic green hills border the edges of the screen, establishing the scene. The jackpot ladder is stacked down the left edge, and at the 2.00 stake I played it read Mega 10,000.00, Major 1,000.00, Minor 100.00 and Mini 30.00, with the Feature Buy panel sitting under it at 200.00. The whole vista shouts Celtic countryside. Across the top of the grid sit the three feature pots, each with its token sockets empty at the start of a session, and a Feature Chance / Upgrade Feature gem cluster to the left of them. Players fond of fishing themed slots are spoiled for choice when it comes to big-money catches. Not so much rainbow gold for whatever reason. However, Gameburger Studios has captured the damp, jolly character Ireland is renowned for through their selection of colour and treatment of details large and small, setting up the game to see what occurs next.

What the Double Feature Chance panel costs

Any device is fitting for playing Fishin' Triple Pots of Gold Power Combo on, and one thing to be mindful of about it is that Gameburger Studios releases the game with several RTP figures attached to the different modes. It holds a theoretical RTP of 96.20% on the larger feature buy against 96.00% in the base game. The smaller buy is quoted at 96.01%, and the Win Booster mode is quoted at the same 96.00% as ordinary play. The features arrive at their own tempo rather than in a constant burst of activity. That Win Booster is the panel to the right of the grid labelled Double Feature Chance, which in my session showed a bet of 4.00 against a main readout of 2.00 with its toggle set to off; it costs twice the base bet, raises the chance of triggering free spins, and pays out on the base bet.

Tackle boxes, frog lures and four bands of Cash

The symbols employed throughout Fishin' Triple Pots of Gold Power Combo are wholly angling inspired. Above the 10 through A card ranks sit a tackle box, a bucket and rod, a frog lure, a float and a mixed catch of fish. Cash symbols worth 0.5x to 25x the bet land on all reels in both the base game and the free spins, and from there, the paytable holds the four jackpots — Mini, Minor, Major and Mega — ranging from 15x to 5,000x the bet. There are four Cash symbols, banded 0.5x–1.5x, 2x–3x, 3.5x–4.5x and 5x–25x the bet, and any mixture of them can complete an ordinary line win. Players need to land symbols on neighbouring reels, beginning from the left side of the grid, to form a winning combination. Jackpot symbols reach reels 1 to 4 in the base game and all five reels in free spins, and more than one jackpot can be awarded on a single spin. Only the highest win on a line pays.

Reel 5 holds the only Collect symbol

Much of the features in Fishin' Triple Pots of Gold Power Combo are focused on its Collect symbol. It links to the feature pots, the jackpots, and plays a significant role during the free spins bonus round. Two frames from my session catch it working at the 2.00 stake: once on reel 5 for 14.00, off a 12.00 and a 2.00 Cash symbol, and once for 5.00 with a single 4.00 Cash symbol on the reels.

1 / 2

The Collect symbol is the game's wild, and it surfaces only on reel 5 in the base game, and substitutes for all symbols except the Jackpot symbols. The More Flynn pot is what moves it off that reel, adding it to reel 4 at one token and working leftward until it covers reels 1 to 4 at four tokens. When it lands it sets off the Collect feature. That collects the values of every Cash and Jackpot symbol on that spin, and Jackpot rewards only pay inside it.

Extra Rows, More Flynn, Bigger Fish

Three pots rest beside the reels. This Collect-and-pots reel set carries over from the earlier Fishin' Pots Of Gold and Fishin' Bigger Pots of Gold, and what the Power Combo adds is that the three pots can trigger together rather than one at a time. Extra Rows adds rows and paylines, More Flynn places the Collect symbol on more reels, and Bigger Fish lifts the minimum Cash values. The upgrades come in steps: Extra Rows runs 4 rows and 15 lines, then 5 and 20, then 6 and 25, while Bigger Fish raises the minimum Cash value to 2x, 3.5x and then 5x the bet. Coins collected in play drop tokens into the pots, and the tokens improve them; when a coin collects into a pot, free spins are activated at random. Those coins can land on any symbol except the Cash, Collect and Jackpot symbols, and the chance of a collection triggering free spins falls as more tokens go into the pots.

Eight free spins for every pot triggered

Each pot triggered grants 8 free spins, and because this is a Power Combo the pots can trigger in any combination. The round plays with the pot the triggering coin belonged to and all the upgrades that pot had accumulated, and a further pot triggered mid-round adds its spins and its upgrades on top. So a round can start at 8, 16 or 24 spins. The stake is locked to the spin that set the round off, and everything the round wins is paid once it finishes. During free spins the grid can extend up to 6 rows and 25 lines, and also, every 3 Collect symbols on the Accumulation Trail lift the Cash multiplier and add 5 free spins, up to 12 collects, a 10x multiplier and 20 additional spins. The multiplier steps to 2x at 3 collects, 3x at 6, 5x at 9 and 10x at 12, applies to the Cash values collected, and the trail empties at the start of each new round.

Minty Slots Verdict: The three bonuses I saw paid 276.00 of the 632.80 this session returned on 1,000.00 staked, and the base game filled the gaps with 114 paying spins, 62 of them under the 2.00 stake. When a round happens and what it carries are both settled by the pots, and the only lever on that outside the buy is the Double Feature Chance toggle at twice the bet.

500 spins on a 2.00 stake

Fishin' Triple Pots of Gold Power Combo is a green rain shower of a slot, like the theme it's founded on. As well as the warm, watery imagery, the gameplay has a patient character, where the collects strike at long intervals. The way the pots need filling means free spins aren't dished out either. In my run the second bonus arrived 49 spins after the first, and the third 154 spins after that. Across 500 spins at 2.00 a spin it kept the reels turning without keeping the hits coming — 114 paying spins, 62 of them under the stake, and one barren run of 25 spins. That run ended on spin 201, and the balance reached its lowest point of the session at 99,626.20. 1,000.00 credits wagered returned as 632.80. The high water mark was 100,048.60 on spin 141, and the balance closed at 99,632.80 from a 100,000.00 start.

What carries the game are the rainy Irish imagery, the Collect symbol on reel 5, and the game's three pots. Three bonus rounds showed up in my session, on spins 92, 141 and 295, paying 150.00, 76.00 and 50.00 — 44% of everything won. The best of those, 150.00 on spin 92, came to 75 times the stake, while the largest win outside a bonus was 52.00 on spin 477.

Two buy options at 200.00

Gameburger Studios has also added a feature buy. It runs from the base game only, plays at the current bet, and the Win Booster has no effect on it. Option 1 buys 8 free spins at 3 rows and 10 lines and Option 2 buys 24 free spins at 6 rows and 25 lines, priced at 200.00 at a 2.00 bet.
