Gold Fish Frenzy® - Scientific Games
Frank Legato, CDC Gaming Reports · 2019 G2E "Best of Show"
"From my perspective, Scientific Games knocked it out of the park this year. For Best of Show, I’m going with their Gold Fish Frenzy, a pachinko-style game with an element of skill. There are no reels on this game, just a giant portrait screen displaying a pachinko pegboard surrounding rows of goldfish bowls, each bowl representing a progressively higher award.
The player launches a ball from the top of the screen, and the skill involves the timing of the launch – physics are actually involved in where the ball ends up falling and whether or not it lands in one of the award bowls. It’s great fun, and once you get the hang of when to launch, this one definitely promotes extended time-on-device."

Paul Doocey, Casino Journal · "Visually entertaining"
"What I noticed much more at this show than in years past were, for want of better words, quirky, off-the-beaten-path games and concepts with unique game mechanics that appealed to the whimsical side of my personality. . . . Gold Fish Frenzy, Scientific Games' latest foray into the skill-based slot market, is centered on a rather low-tech concept - pachinko. But the pachinko-inspired game is very well conceived and visually entertaining."

Frank Legato, GGB News · "The most trustworthy game you could ever play in a casino"
"For Gold Fish Frenzy, Nauman’s team partnered with arcade redemption-style and video-game producer Team Play. 'They had a game called Fish Bowl Frenzy in the Dave and Buster’s locations that has just been killing it for the last four years,' Nauman said. 'I looked at this game, and it had what our industry has been clamoring for: We need skill-based gaming. . . With this, anybody will feel that they have control and can master it, because it’s not that hard. And the beauty about this is we can’t do any sleight-of-hand players are worried about. Everything is in front of them. Everything is real. The ball drops. It’s a rubber ball that drops off a peg. It’s the most trustworthy game you could ever play in a casino.'"
