The Fishin' Frenzy Big Catch Megaways slot hardly needs an introduction. The whole Fishin’ Frenzy series by Blueprint Gaming is one of the most popular out there, and has sparked countless imitations. This release combines the features of the Big Catch feature, which collects wilds, with a Megaways engine for some more angling fun.
Although it uses the Megaways engine, Blueprint has been pretty restrained in the implementation. There is no upper horizontal reel, and the grid lands between 2 to 5 symbols on each of the 6 reels per spin, meaning there can be anything from 64 up to a maximum of 15,625 ways to win active. The betting range starts from £0.10 to £10 per spin.

At the lower end of the paytable are 10-A royals, tackle boxes, lifebelts, fishing rods, and pelicans. Payouts for winning combinations of these symbols can be seen in the table below, given as multiples of the total bet.
The boat sailing away into the sunset is the scatter. It doesn't give any payouts but will trigger the free spins with three or more in view. The bonus round is where the fishing action really gets going, with the fisherman wild appearing to help form line wins and more, which you can read about below.
As we said, the boat scatter will trigger the free spins with three or more in view as follows; 3, 4, 5, or 6 scatters award 10, 15, 25, or 50 free spins. The first thing players will notice when the bonus round kicks in is that all the fish symbols now have cash values attached, and the bigger the fish, the bigger the amount. Possible values of fish are 2x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, or 50x the bet.
And now the fisherman wild enters the game. He can land on any reel, multiple times on one spin. He does, he'll cast his trusty line and hook any fish symbols on the grid, awarding the cash values to the player. Multiple wilds will each hook the fish in turn. And as he also acts as wild and not just a collect symbol, he can also substitute for the regular pay symbols to form line wins.
As you can see, the fisherman is a pretty important symbol, but it doesn’t stop there. Every time he lands, he is collected in a metre above the grid, and if this hits four, two things happen. The first is that the lowest value fish remaining is removed from the game, and the second is the granting of additional free spins.
