This time around, you dive into crab-tivating oceans in order the catch the tastiest lobster prizes. Colourful and fun, the graphics are high definition with clear, big characters appearing on the reels.

The soundtrack has a Caribbean twang to it which will have you tapping your toes (well, for me at least). It makes you want to pack your cooler with beers and snacks and then head out to sea to catch some lobsters.

On the reels, you have marine-themed A, K, Q, J and 10 royals which all have ropes through them. Higher-value symbols include floating bottles, lobster nets, starfish, seagulls and the fisherman. The fisherman symbol is the best paying awarding 0.4, 1, 3, 5 or 10 x your total bet for 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 in combination.

Look out for the Fishing Boat Wild symbol that substitutes for all paying symbols above. Other symbols include lobsters, crabs, giant lobster prizes and a Golden Lobster Bonus Scatter which are key to triggering various bonus features.

Crab Cash Prizes feature

Like the Giant Squid, Crab Cash Prizes can appear on any spin. In the base game, crabs scuttle sideways onto the reels to create or improve existing wins with lobster symbols. However, crabs move sideways to lock on open reels in the respins.

Lobster Respins feature

The 4 Fantastic Lobsters slot focuses on the Lobster Respins feature. It’s triggered by landing 3 or more Golden Lobster Respin Scatters. 3 respins will be awarded. Locked reels are opened by landing Golden Lobster Respin Scatters with lobster symbols locking on open reels.

Every time you land a new lobster symbol and respins scatter, the respins tally resets to 3. If a Shark appears, the Shark feature comes into play. The shark eats full reels of lobster symbols to combine their prizes and apply a 2x multiplier. It’s held in the top position of the reel with the other reel positions reopened for new lobster symbols to land in. Unfortunately, the Ultra Lobster Prize of 10,000 x bet cannot be eaten by the shark.

Pick-a-Win Bonus feature

The Pick-a-Win Bonus feature is triggered when 3 or more Lobster Pot Scatters appear in view. The number of picks you receive is proportional to the number of triggering scatters (i.e. 5 scatters = 5 picks).

4 Fantastic Lobsters Review Summary: another great fishing-themed slot but this time with lobsters & crabs

With so many fishing-themed slot games available these days, it’s no wonder why 4ThePlayer created the 4 Fantastic Lobsters slot. Following on from 2 previous fishing releases, the gameplay is very similar to 4 Fantastic Fish. It gives you another way to net big treasures from the ocean basically.

Lobsters award cash prizes with the more lucrative ones found on reels 5 and 6. If a win involves a Giant Lobster prize, you can win up to 10,000 x your total bet. Giant Squids will move lobster symbols to award a win or enhance what you’ve already won. Crabs also award cash prizes when appearing with lobsters.

The main attraction is the Lobster Respins feature where you aim to unlock as many reels as possible. Sharks eat up all lobsters on a reel to consume their prizes and double the total value. Giant Squids and crabs can also appear for more winning potential.

With the Giant Lobster Prizes also available in the respins, they can be awarded during the simple Pick-a-Win Bonus feature. Gameplay wise, 4 Fantastic Lobsters is varied providing plenty of thrills and near-misses.

With 11,340 x bet max wins, the 4 Fantastic Lobsters slot offers lower win potential than 4 Fantastic Fish (15,000 x bet) but higher than 4 Fantastic Fish in Egypt (11,100 x bet).

If you like fishing-themed slots but want a visual change, this game may be for you. One negative I must point out is the below-average 94% RTP rate. Its predecessors offer a 96% RTP rate too.
