Hey Folks:

Just got back from Fallsview Casino yesterday ... and one game has a huge buzz from fans. It is WMS Gaming's "Goldfish". This is a 20 line game, with a 10-coin buy-in for an additional set of bonus rounds (think of Aristocrat's Cashman).

Goldfish features the colorful graphics and animation we expect from WMS games. It has a top and bottom display. The denomination I played was 2-cents. Although males and females played the game, the game is likely meant to appeal to female players (cute fish -- who swim around in the aquarium until they are called apon in the fish bowl).

The 10-coin buyin results in a bonus round which triggers randomly following a regular spin. The frequency is good --- and there are 5 different bonus rounds you could.

This game is one of the most popular in Seneca (Buffalo, NY) and Fallsview over the past few months. It is almost always occupied.

Overall, this is very fun. I emphasize the fun -- because I didn't win many jackpots on this game. The regular bonus round does not cost extra -- and it plays similar to "Jackpot Party" -- only you get 3 chances not to pick a turtle ... and each BONUS round gives you a chance to pick a turtle to reveal 2x, 3x or 10x your total bet.
