Wild Link Frenzy slot
Wild Link Frenzy is a SpinPlay Games slot released on 31 January 2023, with a fisherman working a river of prize fish. It plays on 5 reels that can grow to 9 rows, with 20 to 50 paylines. Everything turns on Wild Link: when the fisherman lands on reel 1, the reels stretch upwards, more paylines come into play and every fish showing a cash value is paid. The Frenzy Fish pays several cash values at once.

Wild Link Frenzy: key facts
| Studio | SpinPlay Games |
|---|---|
| Released | 31 January 2023 |
| Reels and paylines | 5 reels that grow up to 9 rows high; 20 to 50 paylines as the reels expand (the game screen in our lobby shows 5 reels of 3 rows, and the Wild Link Feature page says up to 3 extra rows are added above reels 2-5 during the base game and up to 6 during the free spins) |
| Volatility | Medium-high |
| Wild Link | Starts when the fisherman lands on reel 1: reels 2 to 5 grow upwards and every fish cash prize in view is paid (the Wild Link Feature page in our lobby says a Wild Fisherman symbol landing on reel 1 triggers the feature and nudges to fill the entire reel, and “Each Prize symbol on screen will award the prize displayed on it”) |
| Frenzy Fish | Pays more than one cash prize |
| Free spins | 10 for 3 scatters; Wild Link is enhanced and the reels can reach 9 rows |
| Fisherman trail | Fishermen are collected during the free spins; at 4, 8 and 12, 10 more free spins are added and the multiplier rises, up to 10x on wins |
| Epic Free Spins | Start with fishermen already on the trail |
| Pick feature | Triggered at random by jumping fish; match 3 icons to win a jackpot |
| Jackpots | Mini, Minor, Major and Mega; the Mega pays 5,000x stake (the game screen in our lobby shows the four panels at £20.00, £50.00, £500.00 and £5,000.00 with the bet at £1) |
| Symbols | Royals A to 9 at the low end; a boat, tackle, a hook and the fisherman above them; fish that carry cash values (£10.00, £3.00 and £30.00 on the fish on the game screen in our lobby, with the bet at £1) |
| Wild symbol payout | Five wilds: 10x the stake (£10 at a £1 bet), as the Wild page in our lobby shows. Wild symbols appear on reels 2-5 and the Wild Fisherman on reel 1 only; both substitute for all symbols except Bonus and Prize, the Wild and Wild Link Feature pages say |

How Wild Link Frenzy plays
The low end of the paytable is made of royals running from A down to 9. Above them sit pieces of fishing kit, a boat, tackle and a hook, with the rugged fisherman alongside them. Fish are a separate family: each shows a cash value, and the larger the fish, the larger the value. The fisherman’s arrival on the first reel is what turns those values into a payout.
Wild Link Frenzy in our lobby on 14 November 2026, at £1 a spin: 5 reels and 3 rows, with £ values on the fish and the Mini, Minor, Major and Mega panels above the reels at £20.00, £50.00, £500.00 and £5,000.00. The bar above the game shows your net position, £0.00 here, and time played, which UK rules require for online slots. Game and artwork © SpinPlay Games.
Three scatters start the free spins, where the fisherman’s feature gets stronger and the grid can grow taller. The game’s own range lets a spin start at 20p, with the UK caps from the key facts sitting above it.
The Wild Link feature
Wild Link is the base game’s main event, and it needs just one thing: the fisherman on reel 1. When he lands there, reels 2 to 5 grow upwards, the number of paylines climbs from the base 20, and every fish on screen pays its cash value, wherever it sits. A Frenzy Fish in view is worth more than one cash prize on its own. SpinPlay Games calls this a twist on the earlier Wild Link mechanic: cash fish landing anywhere on screen are now part of the payout, and bigger fish bring bigger prizes.
The Wild Link Feature page in our lobby: when a Wild Fisherman symbol lands on reel 1 the feature is triggered, and each Prize symbol on screen awards the prize displayed on it. The Wild Fisherman appears on reel 1 only and substitutes for all symbols except Bonus and Prize. Game and artwork © SpinPlay Games.
Free spins and the fisherman trail
Three scatters award 10 free spins. In the round, Wild Link is stronger and the reels can reach their full 9-row height. A trail records every fisherman who lands. When the count reaches 4, the round adds 10 more free spins and lifts the multiplier on wins; the same happens at 8 and again at 12, by which point the multiplier has reached its 10x ceiling. So a round that fills the whole trail has played three lots of 10 extra spins on top of its first 10, and finishes at the top multiplier.
The Pick feature and the four jackpots
The jackpots sit apart from the reels. Jumping fish can set off the Pick feature at random, and the player then chooses from a set of hidden jackpot icons. The first prize to show three matching icons is the one paid. The four prizes rise from Mini through Minor and Major to the Mega, the top catch. Values for each tier are in the key facts table.
Wild Link Frenzy compared with Wild Link Riches
SpinPlay Games followed this game in July 2023 with Wild Link Riches, which swaps the fishing trip for Irish luck. The engine is shared: a symbol on reel 1 starts Wild Link, the reels expand to 9 rows in the free spins, and a collection trail adds 10 spins at a time while the multiplier climbs to 10x. The differences are in the dressing. Riches uses a Wild Pot of Gold on reel 1 in place of the fisherman, and its free spins trail collects pots of gold rather than fishermen.
| Game | Released | Grid and lines | Reel 1 trigger |

| Wild Link Riches | 4 July 2023 | 5 reels, up to 9 rows; from 20 paylines | Wild Pot of Gold |

Frequently asked questions
Is Wild Link Frenzy part of a series?
Yes. It belongs to SpinPlay Games’ Wild Link series, in which the symbol that lands on reel 1 sets off an expanding grid. Each game gives that trigger its own theme: here it is a fisherman, while Wild Link Riches uses a pot of gold. The free spins trail and the four-tier jackpot pick are shared with Wild Link Riches.
What are Epic Free Spins in Wild Link Frenzy?
They are a stronger version of the free spins round. Where the standard round opens with an empty fisherman trail, Epic Free Spins open with fishermen already sitting on it. From there the trail works in the usual way: fishermen landed during the spins count towards the marks at 4, 8 and 12, each adding 10 spins and a higher multiplier.
How do you play Wild Link Frenzy?
Choose a stake, spin, and watch reel 1. The fisherman landing there is what opens the grid and pays the fish, so that first reel is the one to follow. The line count is not fixed either: it starts at 20 and rises towards 50 as the reels grow, which is why the studio lists the game as 20 to 50 paylines.
