Fishin’ Frenzy Megaways slot review

Fishin’ Frenzy Megaways takes Britain’s favourite fishing slot and bolts it onto the Megaways engine. Built by Blueprint Gaming, it deals up to 15,625 ways to win across six reels whose heights change every spin, while keeping the series’ beloved hook: a free-spins round in which the fisherman scoops up the cash values printed on every fish in sight.

How the Megaways engine works

Each reel shows between two and seven symbols per spin, so the number of ways to win shifts constantly up to the 15,625 maximum. Matching symbols on adjacent reels from the left pay regardless of position within the reel. The seaside paytable runs from card royals up to lures, pelicans and fishing boats, with the Fishin’ Frenzy logo acting as the wild.

Free spins and the fisherman

Three or more scatters launch the free-spins round, and this is where the format earns its reputation. Fish symbols land carrying visible cash values, and whenever the fisherman appears he collects the value of every fish currently on the reels. Multiple fishermen and busy screens of fish are what the round is all about, and retriggers can extend the session.

RTP, volatility and top wins

RTP can differ between operators and game versions, so check the game's information panel in the version you play. Volatility is on the high side of medium, with the value concentrated in the fisherman collects. If you prefer fixed lines, the original Fishin’ Frenzy and its many sequels share the same fishing-collect DNA.
