Gold Fishy Free Spins slot review
Gold Fishy Free Spins is an underwater slot from Inspired, released in September 2023. It plays on five reels and four rows with 40 fixed paylines, and three anchor scatters award eight free spins. What makes the round different is that the reels are stripped back to just the fish symbols and the wild while it runs.

How Gold Fishy Free Spins plays
Wins pay along 40 fixed lines on a five-by-four grid, and the stake covers every line. The paytable is built around the goldfish:
- Fish symbols: one fish, two fish and three fish versions, which are the main pays.
- Shells and card values: the lower-paying symbols.
- Starfish wild: substitutes for every symbol except the scatter.
- Anchor scatter: lands on reels 1, 3 and 5, and three of them start the free spins.
Because the scatter can only appear on three reels, all three of those reels have to show an anchor in the same spin to start the round. Some versions also offer a Fortune Bet, which costs 50 per cent more per spin and adds a respin of reel 5 when two scatters land, giving an extra chance of the third.
Free spins with only fish
Three anchors award eight free spins. The round cannot be retriggered, so eight spins is what you get, but each of those spins plays on a reduced set of reels. Only four symbols appear: the one fish, two fish and three fish symbols, and the starfish wild.
Most free spins rounds add a multiplier, extra wilds or sticky symbols; Gold Fishy Free Spins keeps the rules plain and changes what lands instead. Any win in the round still depends on chance.
The game also has a gamble option, where it is offered, with two wheels: one can raise a win and the other gives a chance to turn a win into the free spins. A losing gamble gives up the original win.
