Fishin Frenzy Even Bigger Fish (Blueprint) Slot Demo & Review

If you’re into your fishing slots, you probably don’t need an introduction to this Fishin’ Frenzy series from Blueprint Gaming or, indeed, the other biggie, Pragmatic Play’s Big Bass Bonanza range. However, you might not know about a few others from different studios, such as The Rodfather Megaways from Booming Games, which offers up to 200,704 ways to win and up to a maximum win of 34,000x the stake, and Catch 22 from Realistic Games, another reasonable title that’s not too dissimilar to the Fishin’ Frenzy slot I’m currently reviewing. 

The symbol payouts come next, and they are not what you’d classify as eye-catching, but the money collection feature and all the other features and modifiers offset those somewhat. The Pelican has the best return of 5x the stake for a 6-symbol combination, while the Hat and Fishing Reel both reward up to 2.5x. The Life Saver and the Tackle Box are the last of the premiums, and both return up to 2x. The Ace and King sit at the top of the lower pays worth 1.5x, the Queen and Jack both pay up to 1.2x and the Ten and Nine share a 1x top return. 

Finally, we come to the price of play. You can jump straight into the action for a very budget-friendly minimum of €0.10 a game, with the maximum bet reaching a high of €25.00. 

There is a 6-reel and 4-row reel configuration in play on the Fishin’ Frenzy Even Bigger Fish slot, and across it are 4,096 ways to win. Creating winning combinations requires two or more matching high-value symbols or three or more matching low-value symbols to land left to right. 

Cash Collection

Once again, Blueprint Gaming’s latest Fishin’ Frenzy slot has a money collection feature. Each time a Reel’Em In Collect symbol lands on the sixth reel at the same time as Fish Money symbols anywhere across the reels, those values are collected and paid. The same happens with any of the Mini (20x), Minor (50x), Major (200x), and Mega (2,500x) Cashpot jackpot symbols that are collected. 

The Cash Collection feature is also tied to many other slot features, including one of the main bonus games. To the left of the reels, you’ll see five features you must first unlock before they can trigger:

• Reel’Em In: The first time a Reel’Em Collect symbol collects fish money values, a second instance unlocks on reel 1. The second time the cash collection feature triggers, the Bait ‘N’ Catch symbol unlocks and can land on the first and sixth reels.  

• Bait’n Catch: When this symbol lands at the same time as Cash Symbols, it locks them in place and delivers a re-spin of all remaining positions. If more cash values land, the re-spins continue until no more appear. If both Bait’N’Catch symbols triggered the feature, you’re granted an extra life during the re-spins. 

• Bigger Catch: The Bigger Catch Collect symbol unlocks once the Bait’N’Catch collects Fish money symbols for the first time. Bigger Catch Collects boost the cash value of the Fish Money symbols before collecting them. 

• Pick a Fish: Once the Bigger Catch collects Fish Money symbols for the first time, the Pick a Fish feature symbol becomes active on the reels. On future spins, when it lands on a winning Money Collect spin, players receive a pick of three positions to receive a cash prize on top of that spin’s winnings. 

• Big Splash: Once the Pick a Fish feature triggers once, the Big Splash symbol becomes active, and that means the better free spins bonus will now trigger instead of the regular bonus game when three or more scatter symbols land anywhere in view.

There are two bonus games on Fishin’ Frenzy Even Bigger Fish. The regular free spins bonus is active until the Big Splash variation of the bonus is unlocked in the base game. Let’s learn more about them both in detail below.

Regular Free Spins Feature

You’ll receive 10 free spins when three or more scatter symbols land anywhere in view. All currently unlocked Collect scatter symbols can appear on the reels during the free spins and collect Fish Money prizes as usual. 

All Collect symbols are collected as those spins play out, and at certain milestones, you’ll receive the following:

• After 3 Collects trigger, you receive an additional 5 free spins and 2x multiplier that applies to future Cash Collect wins. 
• After 6 Collects trigger, you receive an additional 5 free spins and 3x multiplier that applies to future Cash Collect wins. 
• After 9 Collects trigger, you receive an additional 5 free spins and 5x multiplier that applies to future Cash Collect wins. 
• After 12 Collects trigger, you receive an additional 5 free spins and 10x multiplier that applies to future Cash Collect wins.

Big Splash Free Spins Bonus Game

If unlocked during the base game, the Big Splash Free Spins Bonus will trigger when three or more scatter symbols appear anywhere in view. This free spins bonus plays out like the regular bonus, except you receive one of the following upgrades via a picking game before the bonus starts:

• Fish Upgrade: Increases the minimum value of the cash values applied to the Fish Money symbols.
• +Games: Rewards up to 5 additional free spins.
• Next Level: Starts the bonus at the first unlockable milestone – giving a 2x win multiplier that applied to cash collects.
• Two-Ways Pays: Winning combinations can now form right to left as well as left to right. 
• +Fish: More Fish Money symbols are added to the reels. 
• +Collect: More Collect symbols are added to the reels.
• +Golden Fish: Adds more Jackpot (Mini, Minor, Major, and Mega) symbols to the reels.
