Introduction

Fishin Frenzy has been a mainstay in the online gaming world for years. It has spawned a number of spinoffs over the years, including Jackpot King and Megaways variations. Now, Blueprint has released a new remake, as Fishin’ Frenzy: The Big Catch offers bigger and better rewards for players.

Theme and Graphics

When it comes to looks, there really isn’t much to say about Fishin’ Frenzy: The Big Catch. It looks just like the rest of the games in the series, with bright graphics and a cheery theme.

The slot takes place under water with symbols that feature fishing tools, seagulls and, of course, those cute little blue fish that we’ve come to associate with the Fishin’ Frenzy brand. Just like the other games in the series, the slot looks great with a simple yet effective design.

RTP and Variance

The Fishin’ Frenzy: The Big Catch RTP is 96.16%. It’s also a medium volatility game with a top prize of 5000x – which is pretty impressive for a game with of the variance level.

How to Win

There are 10 paylines in Fishin’ Frenzy: The Big Catch. Players can trigger wins by landing three or more matching symbols on any of the lines, as long as the combination begins on the leftmost reel.

The game’s most generous symbol is the seagull, who pays out 2000 coins. This is followed by the fishing rod, which offers 1000 coins.

Mixed Wins

The fish symbols come in different sizes – but that doesn’t effect the payouts outside of the bonus feature. You can land mixed wins with various sizes of fish.

Free Spins and Bonuses

Landing three or more scatters will trigger the Fishin’ Frenzy: The Big Catch free spins bonus. The number of scatters that land will determine how many free spins you get:

• 5 scatters for 20 free spins
• 4 scatters for 15 free spins
• 3 scatters for 10 free spins

During this bonus, you’ll encounter the fishing feature’s present in all Fishin’ Frenzy games. Whenever the fisherman symbol appears on the screen at the same time as fish, he’ll collect the value of all fish on the screen and award the total as an additional prize. Fish prize values range from 2x coins to 50x.

Upgrade Fish

What sets Fishin’ Frenzy: The Big Catch apart from other games in the series is the Upgrade feature. Every time you land a fisherman symbol, it will be collected. Once you’ve collected four, you’ll begin to upgrade the fish.

This means that the lowest value of fish upgraded to the next highest level. So, for collecting the first four fisherman, all 2x fish and 5x fish are upgraded to 10x and 15x, then the next level will upgrade those to 20x and 25x fish – and, so on. You can keep collecting symbols until all fish have been upgraded to the 50x prize.

Every time you upgrade the fish symbols, you’ll also receive more free spins.
