For Quickspin’s Epic Fish: Marlin Madness, the developer’s globe-trotting fishing slot series, it just so happens to be the Coral Sea. This time around, the goal is to reel in the elusive Black Marlin, a high-value fish in three tiered Free Spins modes. There’s also a Shark Attack feature that randomly converts low symbols into fish, and collector wilds that scoop up any fish in view. So, between the modifiers, the upgrades, and the massive potential of the Black Marlin, this slot machine is all but obsessed with progression-based gameplay.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e"},{"toc_title":"Theme \u0026 Graphic  ","title":"\u003ch2 class=\"bvs-h2\"\u003eTheme \u0026amp; Graphic \u0026nbsp;\u003c/h2\u003e","content":"\u003cp\u003eEpic Fish: Marlin Madness sticks to the familiar fishing-slot formula but with its own goofy lead character, Bazza McReel.
