Who runs this project
This site is run by a small group of people who play, test, and write about online slots for a Canadian audience. We are not a casino, we do not take deposits, and we have no stake in how much anyone wagers. Our only job is to describe how a game works and to say clearly when something cannot be confirmed.
Most of our work is comparative. Providers rarely publish every number a player wants, so we cross-check studio pages, licensing databases, and independent slot trackers before writing a single sentence about hit frequency or bonus mechanics. When a figure only appears once, we say so instead of repeating it as fact.
Big Fish by Swintt is a good example of how this plays out. The base RTP is reported at 95.55%, but other third-party sources list lower configurations down to 85.52%, and none of that has been confirmed on Swintt's own site. Rather than pick one number and present it as settled, we tell readers there is a range and let them decide how much weight to put on it.
We update pages when new data appears, and we remove claims that stop holding up. That includes small things, like a release date that shows up as both August 5 and August 13, 2024, in different listings — we flag the discrepancy once, note it is probably an early access versus wide release split, and move on.
How we approach a slot like Big Fish
Before we publish anything about a game's mechanics, we separate what a studio states officially from what independent trackers report. For Big Fish, Swintt's own site does not list RTP, volatility, or max win figures, so everything on this topic comes from third-party catalogues and slot databases instead.
That distinction matters more than it sounds. A fishing-themed slot with a growing fisherman symbol and coin collection on a separate 5x5 grid is a mechanic we can describe with confidence, because multiple independent sources agree on how it works. A precise RTP percentage is a different matter when sources disagree by several points.
We also check whether a game is actually reachable where our readers are. For Canada specifically, we have not found confirmed listings of Big Fish at regulated operators, so we treat its local availability as unverified rather than guessing either way.
This approach is slower than copying a provider's marketing page, but it means the pages on this site hold up when a reader checks a claim against another source themselves.
A note on responsible play
Nothing on this site is an invitation to gamble, and reading about a slot's mechanics is not the same as recommending it. Big Fish, like most high-volatility titles, can go long stretches without paying out before a feature round changes that, and no amount of research changes those odds. If you choose to play, set a budget before you start and treat losses as the cost, not a temporary setback. Gambling on this site's subject matter is restricted to players 19 and older, or 18 and older in Alberta, Manitoba, and Quebec. If gambling stops feeling optional, resources such as provincial responsible gambling helplines are a better next step than another spin.
