Fish Eye is a Pragmatic Play and Reel Kingdom slot released in January 2023 that blends an ancient Egyptian look with fishing. It is played on five reels and three rows with ten fixed paylines, and its money collection feature pays fish values, including in the base game. The maximum win is 10,000x. You can play the Fish Eye demo for free at the top of this page.
This review covers the RTP versions reported, the volatility rating that sources describe in two ways, the 10,000x maximum win in pounds, how the money collection and free spins work, the stake limits that sources give differently, and the statistics a tracking site recorded. It sits with our Pragmatic Play slots hub, and it is a different take on fishing from our Big Bass slots reviews, such as Big Bass Floats My Boat.

Overview
Fish Eye is a payline slot with a collection twist. One source says the money collection feature can award win multipliers, and another says it is a nice touch to win the fish values in the base game. The result is a game that pays more between bonus rounds than a typical Pragmatic Play fishing slot.
Reviewers like the idea but some find it familiar. One says they have seen all of the included features before. Another says players who prefer balanced hit frequency and consistent wins will find the high volatility frustrating, and calls it a niche slot.
How to play and stakes
The game is played on five reels and three rows with ten fixed paylines. Stakes start at 10p, which sources agree on. Four sources give a top stake of 250, while others give 50, £4 or 375. We cannot confirm which applies at a given casino, so check the game information screen before you play.
One source says the game has thirteen symbols, with nine regular paying symbols and four special ones, and that wins need at least three matching symbols from the leftmost reel, or two of the most valuable scarab.
RTP and the versions you may meet
The standard RTP is 96.07%, which most sources agree on. One source gives 96.09%, and another lists lower versions of 95.07% and 94.10%. One source says the 96.07% figure is constant, and that conflicts with the lower versions, so we treat the lower figures as operator options.
Operators can choose which version to run, so check the game information at your casino. The RTP describes the long-run return across a very large number of spins and tells you little about a short session. One tracking site that recorded over 11 million rounds measured an observed RTP of 96.47%, which is a sample of real play and not a studio figure.
Volatility
Most sources say high. Two sources give very high or 5 out of 5. We treat it as a high-swing slot. One review recommends low bets for players with a limited bankroll, and another says the game rewards those who can ride out the quieter spells.
If you prefer steady small returns, this is probably not the slot for you.
Max win and what it is worth in pounds
Every source we checked gives the maximum win as 10,000x the stake. One tracking site, based on over 11 million recorded rounds, saw a top multiplier of 10,000x in its sample, so the cap has been seen in real play at least once.
In pounds, 10,000x is £1,000 on a 10p stake, £10,000 on a £1 stake and £50,000 on a £5 stake. That is simple multiplication, not a figure from the studio.
Money collection and fish multipliers
Fish Money symbols have random monetary values and can be collected to win cash prizes. One source says you can win the fish values in the base game, with the minimum of four fish paying with no multiplier and a full screen of 15 fish multiplied by 2,000x. Another says money symbol multipliers can climb to 1,000x in the bonus.
These two statements describe different parts of the game, so we cannot reconcile the exact figures. The in-game rules are the reliable source.
Free spins, collector and remover symbols
The free spins round is described as progressive, building momentum as you play, and one source mentions Collector and Remover symbols in the bonus. The bonus can be triggered in play or bought, according to two sources. No cost was given in the sources we checked, so we do not state one. We did not find a verified trigger count or number of free spins.
Symbols and paytable
The scatter is an eye symbol according to one source. One source says a full payline of cats pays 50x your stake, and that the Eye of Ra shares the same 50x payout. We have not given a full paytable, because the sources we checked do not publish it in a form we could verify. The paytable inside the game is the reliable source for symbol payouts at your stake.
Hit frequency and win rate
No official hit frequency is published in the sources we checked. One tracking site, based on 11,293,363 recorded rounds, saw a hit rate of about 1 in 5.95 spins and a bonus about once in 132 spins. That is a tracker’s sample and not a studio figure, so treat it as indicative.
These are long-run averages. They do not predict what the next hundred spins will do.
Is Fish Eye enjoyable? Our verdict
Fish Eye is a good fit for players who like a high volatility payline slot with a collection twist and a generous cap. The 96.07% RTP is average, the base game fish values give it more life than some bonus-only slots, and the 10,000x ceiling is high. The theme combination is niche and the volatility is high, so try the demo first.
