How Fishin’ Frenzy The Big Catch Megaways plays
Reel heights change on every spin, so the number of ways rises and falls with them, reaching 15,625 when all six reels are five symbols tall. Matching symbols on adjacent reels from the left pay, wherever they sit on each reel. In the free spins, fish symbols carry cash values, and those values are what the fisherman goes after.
If you already know Fishin’ Frenzy Megaways, the reel engine will feel familiar; the difference is the Big Catch upgrade layered on top of the free spins. If you know The Big Catch, the free-spins logic is the same, but the shifting reels make each spin look different.
Free spins and The Big Catch
Land at least three bonus symbols at once and the free spins begin. During the round every fisherman that lands is wild and pays out the cash value of each fish in view on that spin, so a busy screen of fish alongside a fisherman is the moment to watch for.
The Big Catch keeps count of fishermen. Every fourth one moves the lowest-paying fish up a size in cash value and awards five extra free spins. Over a long round that can steadily raise the lowest value any fish can carry, while the variable reel heights decide how many fish fit on screen at once.
