Slot Wars - Fish Eye VS Monster Superlanche

This week, Pragmatic Play has enriched the slot market with two great releases - Fish Eye and Monster Superlanche. While seemingly completely different, these games are actually more alike than it seems at first glance. 

Both feature thrilling bonus rounds, interesting themes and a nice winning potential. So it’s time to face them one against the other in the new episode of slot wars. 

Let the battle commence! 

Fishing for big wins amongst the Ancient Egypt ruins takes place on the 5x3 grid with 10 paylines. On the other hand, its colorful rival slot comes with a bigger grid composed of 6 reels, 5 rows and scatter-pay mechanics. 

Still, this won’t help Monster Superlanche to win this round. Despite the smaller playground, Fish Eye comes with a whooping winning potential of up to 10,000x the bet. Since the maximum prize of its opponent slot is 5,000x the stake, it is quite clear who is the winner here.

When it comes to the RTP, new Pragmatic Play slots don’t differ much one from another. The RTP of Fish Eye is 96.07%, while the other game comes with an RTP of 96.03%. It is an irrelevant difference, but it does make the Egypt-themed title the ultimate winner of this round. 

Pragmatic Play has developed a Fish Eye slot in collaboration with its partner studio Reel Kingdom. Hence the resemblance in both visual appearance and gameplay with the Big Bass Bonanza series of slots. 

The title features Fish Money symbols that appear with a random monetary value ranging from 0.1x up to 100x. Also, when there are four or more fish symbols in the view their values are multiplied from 1x up to 2,000x multiplier. 

Three, four or five Scatters are triggering the bonus round with 10, 15 or 20 free spins respectively. During free spins, the multipliers from fish symbols are removed, but their values increase up to 1,000x the bet. The values of money symbols are awarded if a Collector symbol lands at the same time. 

However, there is also a Remover added to the free spins gameplay to make things more interesting. Whenever it hits, this symbol removes the lowest fish symbol value but adds one additional free spin in return. 

Monster Superlanche has a slightly different than usual tumble feature, triggered whenever when winning Scatters hit. All other symbols vanish from the board while winning Scatters fall to the bottom of the grid. Empty spaces are filled with new symbols dropping from above and if more symbols of the matching winning type land, they also stay on the screen while the tumble repeats. 

Above every reel, there is a multiplier box where random multiplier values ranging from 2x to 100x appear on each spin. Since each held winning symbol can stack on top of another, it will create towers of symbols. When such a tower reaches the top of the reel, the multiplier on it is activated and applied. 

The main attraction of the slot is the bonus round with 8, 12, or 20 free spins activated by 4, 5, or 6 Scatters in view. During free spins, if a multiplier is applied to the win, it is added to the global multiplier as well. During the round, when a multiplier is applied to a win, it is added to a global multiplier, too. Whenever a new multiplier is reached, the total multiplier is added to the multiplier of that spin. 

Both slots provide players the option to purchase a free spin round via the Buy Bonus button for 100x the bet. The Ante Bet is also available in case you wish to enhance the chances of triggering the free spins round naturally for increased bet per spin. 

As you can notice, these games come with strong and engaging features. Thanks to its towering mechanism, Monster Superlanche is the winner of this round, but not by much. 

Fish Eye slot combines some of the most popular slot themes amongst players - Ancient Egypt and fishing. Both themes are present in many slots, but their combination makes this slot unique to the genre. 

Basically, the game looks like the Egyptian version of the Big Bass Bonanza release, minus the fisherman. In a visual sense, the idea was better than the execution, since the symbols are classic to the genre and not quite detailed. 

On the contrary, Monster Superlance comes with an innovative theme, followed by a superb design. Pragmatic Play created a new specie resembling to a mix between monsters and aliens. 

But these creatures are adorable, colorful and a pure joy to watch spinning on reels. The visual appeal of these two slots is quite different, but it seems like the provider has put more effort into the visuals of the Monster Superlance slot. 

It was suspenseful for a while as the monster-themed game was taking the lead. However, not even its towering mechanism or gorgeous presentation can match the massive winning potential of the Fish Eye slot. It is the winner of this episode of slot wars, but don’t hesitate to try out Monster Superlanche as well since it is an amazing addition to the Pragmatic Play’s portfolio.
