Base Game & Features
Fishin’ Triple Christmas Pots of Gold is a medium volatility slot with 5 reels, 3 rows, and 10 fixed pay lines. Winning combinations occur when 3, 4, or 5 identical symbols appear on adjacent reels, starting from reel 1, on connecting pay lines.
The Tacklebox is the game’s highest-paying symbol, followed by the Boots, Bait, Baubles, Fish, and the A, K, Q, J, & 10 card ranks. Once the reels have settled, all winning combinations award a random payout between 0.5x and 200x your bet.
Cash & Jackpot Symbols
During gameplay, Fish symbols from the paytable reveal a random Cash Prize between 0.5x and 25x your bet. While Fish symbols create winning combinations like others in the paytable, their Cash Prizes are only awarded during the Collect Feature.
In addition, up to 4 Jackpot Prizes can appear on the reels: Mini (15x), Minor (50x), Major (500x), Mega (5,000x). Like Fish symbols, each Jackpot Prize in view can only be awarded during the Collect Feature.
Collect Feature
Flynn the Fisherman is the game’s Collect symbol, which can only appear on reel 5 in the base game & Free Spins mode. This symbol also acts as a Wild for all other symbols, substituting for all symbols except Jackpot Prizes.
When a Collect symbol lands in the same spin as a Cash or Jackpot Prize, the Collect Feature triggers. Once active, Flynn will hook all Cash and/or Jackpot Prizes from the reels to his current position on reel 5, applying the total win amount to the current spin.
Power Combo
As seen in Fishin’ Triple Pots of Gold, above the main reel set sit 3 Feature Pots as part of the Power Combo mechanic. Each Feature Pot is responsible for triggering the Free Spins mode, either individually or in any combination, unlocking a unique feature that remains active throughout the session.
To trigger 1, 2, or all 3 Feature Pots, you will need to collect their corresponding Gem Tokens throughout spins, up to a maximum of 3 per Feature Pot.
- Blue Gem Tokens: Activate the ‘Extra Rows’ feature pot. When 1, 2, or 3 Blue Gem Tokens are collected, the rows expand up to 4, 5, and 6, respectively. Each expansion upgrades the number of active pay lines, up to 25 in total.
- Red Gem Tokens: Activates the ‘More Flynn’ feature pot. When 1, 2, or 3 Red Gem Tokens are collected, Collect symbols are added to reels 4, reels 3 &4, and reels 2, 3, & 4, respectively.
- Green Gem Tokens: Activates the ‘ Bigger Fish’ feature pot. When 1, 2, or 3 Green Gem Tokens are collected, the minimum value of Cash Prizes increases to 2x, 3.5x, and 5x your bet, respectively.
Fishin’ Triple Christmas Pots of Gold: Free Spins
When the Free Spins mode is triggered in the base game by 1, 2, or all 3 Feature Pots, +8 Free Spins are awarded. Whichever Feature Pot triggered the Free Spins mode, its corresponding Modifier remains active until the end of the session.
Furthermore, each time a Collect symbol hits, it is added to the Accumulation Trail above the reels. For every 3 Collect symbols added to the trail, an additional +5 Free Spins is awarded, including a x2, x3, x5, x10 Multiplier for further upgrades. All Multipliers are applied to Cash/Jackpot Prizes that are collected from the reels during this time.
At the end of the Free Spins mode, the active Feature Pot(s) are reset upon your return to the base game. Additionally, Gem Tokens may be randomly added to 1-3 Feature Pots in the base game.
Win Booster & Bonus Buy
Players may purchase one of the following Win Booster & Bonus Buy options:
- Win Booster: Doubles your chance of triggering the Free Spins mode for an additional 2x your bet per spin (96%)
- Free Spins: Instant access to the Free Spins mode with the ‘More Flynn’ feature pot active for 100x your bet (96.01%)
- Super Free Spins: Direct entry into the Free Spins mode with all 3 Feature Pots active for 300x your bet (96.20%)
Fishin’ Triple Christmas Pots of Gold has a maximum win potential of 5,000x your bet. If a single session exceeds this limit, the player qualifies for the full amount.
Our Honest Verdict
As always, there’s a lot to unpack in Fishin’ Triple Christmas Pots of Gold, and we don’t just mean the extremely long-winded title. After having poked his head in many ‘Pots of Gold’ releases throughout the year, Flynn returns with another festive offering, following Fishin’ Christmas Pots of Gold.
Fishin’ Triple Christmas Pots of Gold marks a confident return for Gameburger Studios’ long-running series. It comes back with a bang & instantly puts itself above a lot of other fishing slots by allowing Cash & Jackpot symbols to be collected in the base game. Most titles in this space still lock collections behind Free Spins, so the upgrade here is immediately noticeable.
The biggest jump forward is the adoption of the Power Combo mechanic. This single decision elevates the entire release and, in our opinion, is the game’s strongest feature by a mile. The ‘3 pots’ system feels like the industry’s hot mechanic of the year, and for good reason. It adds structure, progression & purpose to every spin, which fits this game perfectly.
This slot offers multiple versions of the Power Combo mechanic depending on how many Gem Tokens you collect. Each of the 3 Feature Pots brings something meaningful to the table: Extra Rows, More Flynn Symbols, & Bigger Fish. It plays very similarly to the layered progression you see in Dark Waters 2 Power Combo, and from experience, we know how effective that setup can be.
At its absolute peak, when all 3 Feature Pots are open and all 3 Gem Levels are active, the game becomes explosive. It fires on all cylinders and delivers the kind of high-energy bonus round players remember long after the session is over.
With a max win of 5,000x, Fishin’ Triple Christmas Pots of Gold delivers everything fans of the series want, with a more modern & engaging structure. All in all, this is one of the most effective evolutions of the Fishin’ formula we have seen to date.
