When you think of Alaska, you think of cold, mosquitoes, long periods of darkness and light, Sarah Palin, and the outdoors. And probably hockey. But let’s go back to the outdoors part, because that’s the subject of this post.

Microgaming has released a new online slot called Alaskan Fishing, which pays homage to one of the great pastimes of America’s largest state. The game, which can be found at Golden Reef Casino, has a background of what looks like a scenic lake perfect for a fishing trip.

The beautiful outdoors of Alaska are on display here, with symbols of fishing boats, pontoon planes, a fisherman, fish jumping out of the water, and more. It’s not just the humans that are fishing, though. True to the Alaskan wilderness, the slot also has symbols of brown bears and eagles catching fish for dinner.

The game should provide a fun gaming experience for the more outdoorsy types. Sure, online casinos have tons of slots for comic book nerds, video game nerds and the like, but what about those who love hunting, camping and fishing? Finally, there’s a game for the outdoors type who loves to play on a computer indoors. That’s where this game at Golden Reef Casino comes in.

Alaskan Fishing is a 5-reel slot that doesn’t have traditional paylines. Instead, the game offers 243 ways to win. Instead of trying to figure out those ways, it’s best to just live in ignorance and simply take the game’s word for it when you win and lose money. It’s easier that way.

The online slot can be played using denominations ranging from $.01 to $.05, with a maximum bet of $15 per spin.  There is a bonus game that is triggered by the fisherman symbol, which will take you to a screen where you try fly fishing. The goal is to choose 5 fish from a large group, with each fish having a different secret multiplier value, ranging from 2x to 15x.

So, whether you’re a hockey mom, bass pro, or just an admirer of pristine scenery, the Alaskan Fishing slot is a good game to try. To play the game, visit Golden Reef Casino today.

   Once the bait is bought the onus is on you to keep it fully frozen. No point in getting good bait then allowing it to thaw out on a two hour trip to the fishing mark.
