4 Fantastic Fish in Egypt Slot Review

4 Fantastic Fish in Egypt Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The 4 Fantastic Fish in Egypt slot is played on a 6×4 reel setup and has 4,096 ways to win. A winning combination is formed by landing matching symbols from left to right, beginning from reel 1. Some symbols require a minimum of 3, some require just 2. More on that further down.

Stakes range from just 10p per spin up to £80, thus catering to high and low-stakes players. Use the + and – buttons on either side of the spin button to adjust your total bet. The default bet size is £1, so don’t forget to change this when the game loads if you want to bet higher or lower amounts.

The 4 Fantastic Fish in Egypt RTP is 96%, which is around the average figure for UK online slot games. The game comes with a hit frequency of 23.41%, which means that just under a quarter of all spins, on average, will result in a winner. In terms of volatility, it’s in the high range.

The maximum win is 11,100 x your total stake. This is lower than its its predecessor, 4 Fantastic Fish, which comes with 15,000 x bet max wins. Your best chance of landing the top prize will come in the Respins feature.

Theme – big game, big prize fishing

The theme in the 4 Fantastic Fish in Egypt should be obvious from the game’s title. The popular fishing and Egyptian themes have been combined here to great effect. The reels are partially underwater and partially above water in the River Nile in Egypt. Iconic landmarks can be seen on either side of the reels, with fish swimming around under the water as you spin away and seagulls soaring high in the background too.

The visuals are brilliant and have vastly improved since the original slot was released back in June 2022. I particularly like the animation of the Sarcophagus Scatter when it lands on the reels. Everything looks bold, colourful and crisp, which is a testament to the work 4ThePlayer has put in here.

Regarding the soundtrack, it’s very upbeat and leans towards a traditional Egyptian sound rather than trying to bring fishing-related sounds into the equation. Although when certain winning combinations land, the fishing theme comes to life. A winner with fishing rod symbols is a perfect example as the sound of the rod being reeled in can be heard.

The provider’s done a good job of blending the two themes, but if I was to pick out a slight negative, it’s the repetitiveness of the audio. But that’s just a minor thing from a personal point of view. You may love it. It’s certainly a fun soundtrack, but I prefer a bit more variation in the audio. Land the Respins feature and the background water turns to purple as the respins begin. The audio stays the same, though.

On the reels, the A-10 Royals make up the lower-paying symbols. These are joined by higher-paying tackle boxes, fishing rods, cats, seagulls and Cleopatra herself. Cleopatra is the most lucrative symbol, paying 0.4, 1, 3, 5 or 10 x your total stake for 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 in combination respectively.

The game’s wild is a boat and it substitutes for all symbols except Scatters. Here’s a breakdown of the symbols you’ll come across in the game. They don’t include the additional feature icons as we explain more about those further down.

4 Fantastic Fish in Egypt Bonus Features

There are 9 bonus features to enjoy in the 4 Fantastic Fish in Egypt slot game. From Money Ways and Big Game Fish to Respins and a Sarcophagus Scatter that can trigger many more features, there’s a lot going on. Let’s run you through everything so you can fully understand how all of the bonus features work.

Money Ways

Fish symbols can land anywhere on the reels and they will have cash prizes attached to them. They can win as per any other normal win, so when a winning combination lands, the total prize shown on the symbols will be awarded.

Big Game Jackpot Fish

Big Game Jackpot Fish can only land on reel 6. But if they do, 1 of 4 fixed jackpot prizes will be awarded if they are involved in a winning combination with fish symbols. Here’s what you could win:

Giant Squid feature

Randomly on any spin, a Giant Squid may appear and rearrange the fish symbols in the base game to help improve a win. In the Fishing Respins feature, the Giant Squid will move and lock fish symbols on the open reels.

Sarcophagus Scatter

It’s important to expand on this Scatter symbol as it’s an important part of both the base game and the Fishing Respins feature. It doesn’t appear in the original slot, so let’s explain what it does exactly.

When it lands on the reels, it will collect all cash prizes in view in the base game and pay the value out to you, even if they’re also involved in a Money Ways win. The Fishing Respins feature is a little different in that it can trigger other features, which moves us nicely on.

Fishing Respins feature

Land 3 or more Respins Scatters in the base game of the 4 Fantastic Fish in Egypt slot game to trigger this bonus feature. As you’ll see from the screenshot above, some of the reels are locked. You can open those up by landing Scatters during the bonus round.

This works in the same way as any other typical Respins feature. You will get 3 respins, and they will reset back to 3 if a Fish symbol lands on the reels. If you managed to fill a reel up completely with fish symbols, a shark will swim up the reel, eat all of the fish, add all of the cash prizes from those fish together and apply a 2x multiplier to the total.

What’s different here versus many other Respin bonus rounds is that the Sarcophagus Scatter can trigger one of the following features if it lands on the reels:

Symbol	Info
Squid Icon	Triggers the Giant Squid feature, which swaps cash values that have landed on closed reels on this respin to position on the unlocked reels.
Shark Icon	Triggers the Shark feature on a reel that's not been filled with locked cash symbols. The Shark will multiply all collected prizes.
Collect Icon	The Sarcophagus Scatter will collect a value equal to the other cash prizes in view on the reels combined.
Incrementor Icon	All other locked cash prizes will rise by the attached value. The original value will be awarded with all other cash values at the feature's end.

In most territories apart from the UK, you can buy 1 of 2 bonus features:

4 Fantastic Fish in Egypt Review Summary – a unique blend of 2 popular themes

Well, what can I say about the 4 Fantastic Fish in Egypt slot? The word’s already in the title – fantastic. 4ThePlayer has taken an extremely popular game and enhanced it with improved visuals and better bonus features. The combined fishing and Egyptian theme is a nice touch too. It’s never easy to try and improve upon a slot that’s already great, but I feel like this has gone to the next level.

I’m a huge fan of the Sarcophagus Scatter as it brings a whole new level of excitement to the bonus features that the original didn’t have. If you’re a fan of highly volatile slots with solid max win potential and thousands of ways to win, you will no doubt enjoy this one. Let’s not forget that there are 4 fixed jackpots up for grabs too!

Visually you might make comparisons with the likes of Big Bass Bonanza (Pragmatic Play) and Fishin’ Frenzy (Blueprint Gaming), but this blows both of those out of the water in my opinion. But you don’t have to take my word for it. Feel free to try our demo and decide for yourself.
