Fluffy Fishin' Slot Review: Nets, Fish and Five RTP Settings

Our verdict in brief

Fluffy Fishin' is the series' take on the fishing-slot format: Nellie the Pink Elephant is the wild, Fish symbols carry cash values, and Net symbols collect them during the free games. It is the furthest any Fluffy game travels from the original's toy shop, and the most configurable for casinos, with five return-to-player settings from 88% to 96%. It is also the one Fluffy game on Eyecon's list without a published free demo, so you cannot try it here. It suits players who enjoy collect-style free games; it asks more care than most about which version a casino runs.

This review uses Eyecon's official Fluffy Fishin' page for every detail.

What Eyecon lists

Five return-to-player settings

No other Fluffy game offers this many versions. The return to player is a long-run average, and the gap between the lowest and highest settings here is eight percentage points, so the version matters more than usual. Eyecon's page does not say which setting any particular casino uses. Before playing for real money, open the game's rules on the site you are using and find the figure; if you cannot find it, that is worth asking about.

The symbols that matter

Four symbols do the work:

• the Logo, which is the scatter for the free games;
• Nellie the Pink Elephant, who acts as the wild;
• Fish, which carry cash values on the reels;
• the Net, which appears during the free games and collects those values.

Free games

Three, four or five scattered Logo symbols anywhere on the reels award 10, 15 or 20 free games. Net symbols are added to the reels for the feature. Unlike most of the series, these free games cannot be retriggered, so the number you start with is the number you get.

The Fishin' Feature

During the free games, whenever a Net lands in view, the Fishin' Feature awards the value shown on every Fish symbol in view. More than one Net can land on the same spin. This is the collect mechanic that fishing slots are known for, and it is where the game's potential is concentrated: a free spin with several valuable Fish and a Net in view can pay far more than a line win.

Eyecon does not publish how often Nets appear or the range of Fish values, so we cannot describe the typical size of a collect. The maximum exposure of 1,780 times the stake is the cap.

No official demo

Every other Fluffy game on Eyecon's site has a Play Demo link; the Fluffy Fishin' page does not. Because this site only offers official demos from the studio itself, there is no demo to play here. Eyecon's own page for the game sets out its rules and shows official screenshots. We will add the demo if Eyecon publishes one.

How it compares

Fluffy Fishin' shares only its theme and wild with the classic games. It has 10 lines like Fluffy Favourites 10 but no pick game, and like Fluffy in Space and Clawmania it builds its free games around a different mechanic altogether. The series comparison sets all eleven games side by side.

Before you play

High volatility, no retriggers and a wide spread of return-to-player settings all point the same way: decide your budget in advance, and confirm the version before you start. Without a demo, reading the rules screen first is the only way to learn the game without staking money.

Summary

Fluffy Fishin' is a high-volatility, 10-line Eyecon slot with Nellie the Pink Elephant as wild. Three to five Logo scatters award 10, 15 or 20 free games that cannot retrigger, during which Net symbols collect the cash values on Fish. Eyecon lists five return-to-player settings from 88% to 96% and a maximum exposure of 1,780 times the stake, and publishes no free demo. The rest of the series is on our Fluffy Favourites games page.
