The Fishin’ Frenzy slot series is back and bigger than ever with Blueprint Gaming’s Fishin’ Frenzy game given an overhaul by the Megaways game engine. Fishin Frenzy Megaways is a six-reel slot with a difference – 15,625 ways to win and maximum potential wins worth up to 50,000x your initial bet.
Read on to learn more about how the Megaways game engine works for Fishin’ Frenzy, including how to land successful symbol combinations, the bonus features and more.
When the game screen of Fishin’ Frenzy Megaways loads, it doesn’t seem to be much different to the original Fishin’ Frenzy slots. The reels are still set in the same underwater backdrop, albeit with one extra reel in play. However, as soon as those reels start spinning, you’ll soon notice a difference in how the symbols combine to earn you wins.
The Megaways game engine means symbols no longer have to be on a matching payline to create successful combinations. In fact, they only need to land on adjacent reels to create clusters.
During each spin, the Megaways randomiser will select how many ways will be in play, ranging from 64 to the full 15,625 ways. Unsurprisingly, the more ways in play, the better your chances of landing some valuable, fishy combos.
To set your bet size per spin, just toggle the up arrow and down arrow buttons to increase or decrease your stake. Once you’re at a bet size you’re comfortable with, hit the green spin button to the right of the reels to get started.
If this is your first time playing a Fishin’ Frenzy slot, the base game symbols are playing card symbols from ten through to Ace, followed by a host of fishing paraphernalia, including tackle boxes, fishing rods and more. The seagull is the highest-value base game symbol.
Land three or more fishing boat scatters on the same spin to unlock a minimum of ten free spins. Find six or more to win the maximum 50 free spins. During the free spins mode, blue fish symbols can appear with instant-win cash prizes attached.
The fisherman can appear at random, reeling these prizes in on his rod to ramp up your overall win during this feature.
Keep your eyes peeled for the fisherman outside of the bonus feature too. He’s the wild symbol and can replace any other base game symbol to improve symbol combinations.
