Fishin’ Frenzy Megaways

Theme and Design

Blueprint Keep The Same Simple But Iconic Design

Blueprint Gaming hasn’t deviated far from the well-beaten track when it comes to the design of this game. It’s very similar to the original Fishin’ Frenzy slot, retaining all of the same symbols and cute cartoon style that made it so popular in the first place. As the saying goes, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

The soundtrack is similar too, though there is an additional ditty in the bonus round that makes for a pretty catchy playing experience. We like the subtle animations after every winning turn.

RTP and Variance

Fishin’ Frenzy Megaways has an RTP of 96.10% which is a fraction over that golden 96% which we all strive for. It combines a healthy RTP with medium volatility. This means you might get a few bigger wins, but largely your fishing trip will be peppered with smaller prizes. 

It’s nice to see a slightly more volatile addition to the Fishin’ Frenzy series. This slot offers the chance to shoot for bigger prizes without blowing through your bankroll in one sitting.

Maximum Win

With balanced volatility and a top payout of 10,000x your stake (not forgetting the 15,625 ways to win) the biggest prizes seem very generous in Fishin’ Frenzy Megaways. Often to get prizes like this, you need to play the higher volatility slots, so it’s nice to see Blueprint Gaming being pretty generous here.

Did You Know? The 10,000x max win is DOUBLE what you can win in the first Fishin Frenzy slot.

Symbols and Paytable

There are always bonus points on offer for the Megaways pay mechanic, offering you a different number of ways to win on every spin. On this slot with its 6 reel and 4 row format you have a maximum of 15,625 potential win ways, as the number of rows on each reel changes with every spin. Three or more matching symbols must appear on adjacent reels, starting with the left-most reel, to trigger a payout. 

There are 10 pay symbols in the game, plus a scatter and a fisherman who we will come on to shortly.

The low value symbols are the cards from 10-Q giving a maximum value of 2.5x your stake for 6. The premium symbols are the rubber ring and bait box worth 50x your stake for 6, and the fishing rod and pelican worth 100x and 200x your stake for 6 respectively. There are also different types of fish in this game which are worth as much as 10x your stake for 6, but can only be caught if a fisherman icon also appears on the reels.

Features and Gameplay

Fishin’ Frenzy Megaways has two features rolled into one, a cash collect game and a free spins round. Let’s take a look at it more closely.

Fisherman Free Spins

If you land three or more scatters then you earn free spins. 3, 4, 5, or 6 scatters earn you 10, 15, 25, or 50 free spins respectively. As you play the spins, if you land any blue fish as well as a fisherman then he will catch them, giving you their value. 

Fish carry values of 2x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x or 50x. Better still, for every additional fisherman on the reels, your catch is multiplied by +1. That means if you land 5 fishermen at once, your catch is multiplied by 5.

This free spins round is more generous than the one found in the original Fishin Frenzy slot which maxed out at just 20 spins with no multipliers.
