Reel ‘Em In Pokies
Fishing is the most popular pastime in the world, so it’s only natural that there are several online casino pokie machines dedicated to the sport, and WMS Gaming are hoping to hook some players on their Reel ‘Em In game. All the angling angles are covered with various types of fish splashed across the 5 reels, and other symbols like bait boxes, lures, rods and a fishing hat give this cartoon-style game plenty of ways to lure people in.
Running from the left side, there’s a total of 20 paylines, although players can decide how many they want to activate, making the minimum stake just 0.01, while high rollers may want to bet the maximum of 100.00 per spin. Anyone who likes to test games out before playing them for real, may like to try free Reel ‘Em In video pokie rounds, which most online casinos can provided. Wins occur in the standard pattern of 3,4 or 5 matching symbols coming to a stop on adjacent reels across an active line running form the left side.
All the action takes place under water, and there’s even bubbles dividing the reels up, along with a background of waves and animated fish swim past as the reels spin.
Playing Reel ‘Em In
A review of the pay table reveals that the fisherman’s hat along with the red and white float are the least valuable symbols, awarding 5x, 20x or 100x the amount staked per line when 3, 4 or 5 make up a winning combination, while the happy looking worm pays 10x, 25x or 125x.
A rod and reel will return wins of 10x, 30x or 200x the line bet when landing on 3, 4 or 5 reels at once, and the tackle box pays out 15x, 50x, or 300x. The fish are the most valuable symbols, and they only need to land on reels 1 and 2 to be worth a prize, with the yellow fish being worth from 5x to 500x, the blue guy pays between 5x and 1000x the line bet and seeing the pink fish stop on between 2 and 5 reels will be worth a win of 10x to 10,000x the amount staked per line.
This fish is also a wild symbol, being able to substitute for any other standard symbol and thereby complete winning combinations.

Bonus Features
A green lure triggers the Fishing Hole bonus game whenever it gets cast onto 3 or more reel positions at once. Five characters are lined up, and players select any of them to reveal how many attempts they will get to hook a prize. They win varying amounts of cash if they net the fish, boot or a lazy fish, while landing the treasure chest means they can pick a coins for a cash award, or enter some further bonus rounds, and the extra bonus games are also triggered if the Big Bass is caught.
The Big Bass round starts when 2 lures appear at the same times as the bass lands on the right-side reel, and players get between 2 and 5 attempts to land the bass for a prize. If a fly buzzes into place above any reel that the Big Bass is on, players will win a random multiplier of their total stake, that could be between 1x and 10x, while the Fishing Contest round is another mini game with some big rewards.
The Fishing Contest starts when the lure scatter symbol and the special Contest lure appear at once, and this is another bonus game where players have to cast their lines into the water, this time trying to hook up to 50x the amount staked per line.
The Verdict
This fun, colourful casino pokie machine should net some nice prizes as players land their catches across the pay lines.
The multiple bonus rounds can all seem a bit similar, but as each of them is sure to earn some wins, few players will be complaining about this. No free spins could be seen as one that got away, and perhaps a fishing round could have been thrown back in to get some extra spins, while the maximum win of 50x the stake is OK, but nothing special.
However, this is still a fun pokie that follows the theme of a hugely popular sport, so any keen anglers will certainly want to take a look at the Reel ‘Em In video pokie at any online casino that features WMS games and software.
