Fishin’ Frenzy Slot Review

Fishin’ Frenzy Slot Details & Wager Limits

The setup in the Fishin’ Frenzy slot is about as straightforward as it gets for an online slot. The action takes place on a classic 5 reel, 3 row machine with 10 paylines. To form a winning combination, land 3 or more of the same matching symbol or wild on 1 of the game’s 10 paylines, from left to right, starting from the leftmost reel. Simple.

You can dip your virtual rod into the water at stake levels that range from 10p to £80 per spin. In some slot sites, the max bet/stake can be higher, up to £400 per spin. To adjust your stake, click on the Bet bubble positioned to the left of the reels and choose from the selection of bet sizes. Alternatively, move the up and down arrows until you find the level you’re looking for.

The Fishin’ Frenzy RTP is 96.12% which puts it in the middle of the pack as far as return rates are concerned. These animated waters look rather gentle but this is a slot that can be extremely choppy for your bankroll. The volatility is high. Expect lengthy spells when your wagers will seemingly sink without trace to the ocean floor.

You can occasionally win big from a single spin. Proceed with care given the variance here is high. The maximum win is 5,000 x your total stake.

Theme – try and net a big catch

The Fishin’ Frenzy slot machine started life in arcades and land-based casinos and it’s easy to see that in this online version. With a fishing theme, the design here is bright, colourful and very simple. To the left of the reels is the fisherman which resembles a young John Wilson (the legendary British TV angler)

With the ocean in the background, you’ll see the usual collection of A to 10 royal symbols (which are shaped like fish) as well as a selection of angling related imagery. In order of value are tackle boxes and life buoys which award up to 5x stake per payline followed by the fishing rod which pays up to 10x.

The best of the standard symbols is the seagull which awards 0.5, 5, 20 or 200 x your total stake if you see 2, 3, 4 or 5 of them land on a payline.

The fisherman is the wild. He substitutes for all other symbols when he lands during the free spins. The wild symbol also delivers payouts of 1, 10, 50 or 500 x your total stake if you land 2, 3, 4 or 5 in combination during the feature. He can also reel in some other prizes as you’ll discover below. Here’s a list of all symbols you’ll see with payouts:

Symbol	Payouts/Info
10	3, 4 or 5 = 0.5, 2.5 or 5 x stake
J	3, 4 or 5 = 0.5, 2.5 or 5 x stake
Q	3, 4 or 5 = 0.5, 2.5 or 5 x stake
K	3, 4 or 5 = 0.5, 2.5 or 5 x stake
A	3, 4 or 5 = 0.5, 2.5 or 5 x stake
Tackle Box	3, 4 or 5 = 2, 5 or 50 x stake

Fishin’ Frenzy Mobile

You can take to the ocean whether you’re playing on a computer, tablet or smartphone. The bold, bright design and simple gameplay are ideal for the smaller screen. The Fishin’ Frenzy mobile slot works very well due to the simple 5×3 reel layout.

Fishin’ Frenzy Bonus Features

There’s nothing complicated about the gameplay in the Fishin’ Frenzy game. The only extra is the Free Spins feature. This can be a cracker though, especially if the fisherman manages to reel in plenty of fish. If you want to really see how any feature plays out, try the Fishin’ Frenzy demo above where you can experience it yourself.

Free Spins feature

Hope to see 3, 4 or 5 fishing boat scatters sail into view on any base game spin as it brings with it the game’s Free Spins feature. Your reward is 10, 15 or 20 free spins.

The gameplay is slightly different during the feature compared to the base game. You’ll notice that the blue fish symbols come in different sizes and with an assortment of cash values attached. These range from 2 x stake, right up to 50 x your total stake.

You won’t net these fishy prizes every time. To hook them in, you’ll need to land the fisherman scatter. The fisherman then reels in all the fish and collects all of their combined cash prizes. Needless to say, landing a bumper catch here and deliver some potentially mighty hauls of coins. The only negative here is that it’s not possible to retrigger the free spins.

Fishin’ Frenzy Review Summary – simple formula still works well

Blueprint Gaming’s simple formula has proved enduringly popular with slots players, both live and online. There’s nothing revolutionary about the features and the design is very simple in the Fishin’ Frenzy slot.

The high variance means that these waters can still deliver plenty of winless spells as well as some occasional big catches of coins. If you’re luck is in, you could win 5,000 x your total stake per spin (by filling the reels with wilds). You may well see this listed as the game of choice at a no wagering casino as part of welcome promotions. BetVictor is one prime example.

Want a super simple slot with an old school feel? Fishin’ Frenzy should appeal. If you like the game but want some extra layers of gameplay, try Fishin’ Frenzy Megaways which is the best game from this series in my opinion (as it offers 10,000 x stake max wins).

Want a classic arcade slot which can you play online? Try Fluffy Favourites from Eyecon which is cutesy and fun. If it’s fishing slots you’re after, we have a dedicated section with all the games.
