888 is pleased to announce the successful launch of its latest Section8 exclusive fishing-themed jackpot video slot games, dubbed Holy Mackerel Fishy Business & Holy Mackerel Extreme Fishing.

Fishing is one of the world’s most popular sports, and in recent years fishing-themed games have become some of the most popular titles for online casinos. 

The Holy Mackerel duo are exclusively available on 888casino and can be enjoyed in portrait mode on iOS and Android devices with their respective progressive jackpots. These are the first fishing themed slot games by Section8 and have already proven to be a big hit amongst players, surpassing a combined daily $1 Million threshold. In the first month since launch, 13 daily jackpots were won totaling over $180,000

The new games, which differ by volatility, are available to players across all 888casino markets, including the recently launched Ontario site.

Talya Benyamini, VP of B2C at 888, adds: “These breakthrough slots for 888casino are already ranking high within our slots ranking, more specifically to the fish theme games. In less than a week since its launch, Holy Mackerel has become the second biggest franchise in the fish category. We look forward to breaking more frontiers in the gaming world by producing elite games for the ultimate gaming experience.”

Ofir Gal-Mor, Director of Gaming Content, adds: “We are delighted to add our own, specially curated games to our portfolio of titles in a category that our customers love: fishing. These two games have similar links and themes but different volatilities, means that players can enjoy the type of gameplay they like, but with same high production value. This is another great example of the capabilities of 888’s in-house game studio, Studio8, which continues to excel in its creation of high-quality and exciting titles.”
