With the introduction of the cool Fighting Fish slot machine (and the
Sunset Showdown slot that has a similar feature) , the game developers at Microgaming finally managed to add a game similar to the extremely popular
Street Fighter 2 slot from
Intercasino to the huge
Microgaming casino network.
Fighting Fish is an underwater battle themed
slot machines that offer players a really nice re-spin bonus feature that is awarded when a Wild Red Fighting Fish symbol appear on the 2nd reel while a Wild Blue Fighting Fish appear on the 4th game reel.
The Fighting Fish re-spin feature is an expanded wild feature with a battle twist. Players must select one of the two fighting fish before the re-spins are played. Once a fighting fish has been selected, a cool slot machine battle is fought. If the fighting fish selected by the slot machine player win the battle, the re-spins are played with all prizes doubled, - if not they are played with normal payouts.
The re-spin feature is an expanded wild feature where the player can enjoy huge payouts because of 6 fixed wild symbols on the slot machine reels.
The 2nd and 4th slot machine reel are completely wild during the three respins, a feature that make winning really easy and very rewarding!
The Fighting Fish slot machine is really entertaining but most likely more enjoyable by experienced online gamblers than players that are completely new to online casinos.
Fightting Fish Payouts and Rules


The Fighting Fish slot machine paytable is an easy to understand 2 page section split into a regular paytable and a rules page.
The paytable has information about the different payline combinations and payouts. This is where you can see how many coins you win when a given number of identical symbols of any kind appear from left to right on the slot machine.
The page also explain how the re-spin bonus feature is awarded (when a red wild symbol appear on the 2nd game reel with a blue wild symbol on the 4th slot machine reel).
The "top" payout for a single payline is 5,000 coins, a prize that can be claimed with five crabs on a single payline.
The game also offer
scatter bonus prizes with the Scattered Boxing Ring symbol that can appear on all five reels.
The scatter payout is designed with a simple 1x payout for two scatter symbols, scaling to 5X, 20X and 100X with 3, 4 and 5 scatter symbols on the game reels.
It is wort noticing that the Fighting Fish slot machine has
wild symbols on the 2nd and 4th reel only!
Fighting Fish Re-spin bonus feature
The re-spin bonus feature type that can be won with Fighting Fish is one of my favorite
free spin bonus feature types. They are completed really fast because of the limited amount of free spins, but the expanded wild symbols often result in massive wins.
The free spin walk-thru here shows a bonus that ended with more than $850 won during the three wild re-spins.
Triggering the Bonus

The Fighting Fish slot machine re-spin bonus feature is awarded when a wild red fighting fish symbol appear on the 2nd reel with a wild blue fighting fish symbol on the 4th reel.
Re-spin battle

The slot machine player is shown a feature screen with the 2nd and 4th reel transformed with two large fighting fish. The feature is started when the player clicks on one of the fighting fish.
Once a fish has been selected there is no turning back, the bonus starts so cross your fingers!
The Perfect Fight

The cartoon battle last about a minute with one of the fish as the battle winner. If you were lucky and selected the winning fish then your re-spins will be played with a 2X multiplier, - this means that your winnings during the wild re-spin feature are doubled !
Bonus Battle Result

When the Bonus battle is completed, a small information screen is shown with the result. Players win three RE-SPINS with a 1X or 2X multiplier (2X for players that selected a winning fish). The info screen is shown for less than a minute before the re-spins start.
Amazing Re-spins

The Re-spins are played quite fast so be sure to keep your eyes glued to the screen when these bonus rounds roll!
My re-spin bonus feature looked quite depressing untill this last re-spin.
With the top paying crab symbol on the 1st and 3rd reel, i managed to win one of the highest prizes from the paytable - with a 200% bonus payout in addition to several other prizes with help from the 6 wild symbols that are added in the bonus feature.
My casino balance increased with more than $800 in seconds, -something that never happens often enough !
Bonus Feature Summup

Once all re-spins have been played, a congratulations screen is shown with details about the total bonus feature win.
I won a total of 41,250
coins during the 3 re-spins.
