Mighty Fish: Blue Marlin OverviewMighty Fish™: Blue Marlin is a deep-sea coin slot from VoltEnt (Wazdan), released on 1 February 2024. Its tagline, printed under the logo, sums up the idea: “Collect to Infinity”. Gold coins carry cash values on a 5x3 grid, and a row of blue marlins above the reels collects them. SlotCatalog lists a 96.18% RTP (in several versions), high volatility and a maximum win of 2,500x the bet, with stakes from 0.20 to 100. The Marlin RowThe defining feature sits above the reels: one marlin collector for each of the five columns. Each marlin shows a running total and a small counter underneath. When coins land in its column, the marlin adds their values to its own total – in our screenshots the collectors held amounts such as 2,100, 1,500, 600 and 400. Some counters show a number, others an infinity sign: those are the collectors that keep working “to infinity”, which is where the name comes from. Coins and JackpotsAt a 100 FUN base bet the gold coins show values between 100 and 800, or 1x to 8x. Some coins carry a jackpot label instead. The four jackpots on the right read:
The Mega is well below the 2,500x ceiling, so the biggest wins have to come from the marlins collecting coin after coin rather than from a single jackpot. The Fisherman and Cash OutIn the base game a fisherman symbol appears among the coins, and individual coins show a “CASH OUT” counter – 2 on one screenshot, 6 on another. One spin with the Chance Level set to x4 ended with a fishing boat sweeping across the reels and a 2,400 FUN win on a 400 total bet. Another screen shows the grid completely covered in coins plus two scatters, with values from 100 to 800 on every position. Chance LevelLike other VoltEnt games, Blue Marlin has a Chance Level™ column on the left with OFF, x2, x4 and x6. Raising it multiplies the total stake – x4 on a 100 base bet makes the total 400 – for a better chance of reaching the features. Five Free Spins PackagesThe bonus shop is unusually detailed. With the bet set to 100, it offers five free spins packages, each with a different number of spins and starting marlins:
The price doubles at each step, and what you pay for is the length of the round and how durable the starting collectors are. Our Ultra RoundWe bought the Ultra package, and the balance confirms the price to the coin: 97,100 before, 57,100 after – exactly 40,000. During the round a +3 symbol added spins; the counter read 16 of 20, with the marlins holding 1,200, 500, 5,500, 2,900 and 200. At the end the reels cleared for the Total Win screen, with the five marlins showing 1,200 + 500 + 13,300 + 4,800 + 200 = 20,000 FUN – 200x the base bet. That is exactly half the Ultra price, and a clear illustration of the high volatility: one marlin (13,300) carried most of the round, and a package that costs 400x can return well under that. ScattersRed starfish scatters appear among the coins; one of our screens shows two of them on a full coin board. SlotCatalog’s feature list confirms scatters, additional free spins, a free spins multiplier and a gamble option. GraphicsThe reels float in blue water between coral and sea plants, with a gold frame and the marlin logo leaping out of the top-right corner. The coins glow against the dark reels, and the marlin tiles are painted in bright blue with gold numbers. It is clean and readable, which matters in a game where you watch five running totals at once. More VoltEnt GamesThe same Chance Level and buy-shop system appears in Mighty Symbols: Sevens, where a giant 3x3 Seven replaces the collectors, and in Mighty Wild: Panther. Who It Is ForMighty Fish: Blue Marlin is for players who enjoy collect mechanics and do not mind high volatility. The marlin row makes every coin count towards something visible, the five buy packages let you choose the length and power of the bonus, and the 2,500x maximum is reachable only when one or two collectors keep growing. Five of our six partner casinos carry it. You can try this game on AztecParadise Online Casino. There’s a unique casino bonus offer of 300% up to £2000 for a limited time. |
