Whether you appreciate the tranquility or despise the tedium of this pastime, fishing is an activity which attracts many people to the riverbanks and vessels with their rods and lines; it also provides the familiar theme of this online slot machine from Blueprint Gaming named Fishin’ Frenzy – find out how it all works below.

Fishin’ Frenzy is a five reel slot with three rows and ten fixed paylines; those reels spin in front of an underwater scene lit by sunlight and flanked by rocky outcrops.

There are five theme-relates symbols and these include a heron, a fishing reel, a lifebuoy, a tackle box and some little blue fish with orange fins; 10, J, Q,  and A represent the lower values. The fish can be of mixed sizes and still pay out.

The fisherman is wild and he’ll substitute for all others to help form winning combinations except for the scatter symbol which is a fishing boat disappearing off into the sunset.

Bonus Features

Free Spins

This is triggered by landing three or more of the fishing boat scatter symbols anywhere in view for which you will receive the following:

• Three Boats – 10 free spins.
• Four Boats – 15 free spins.
• Five Boats -20 free spins.

This would be a fairly standard free spins round but during this feature not only is the fisherman wild but he will also do some actual fishing – any time he appears on the reels at the same time as any of the little fish he will catch them, collecting prize money for each depending on their size. This is all included in the gameplay video above.

The bad news is that it’s not possible to trigger any more spins from within this round.

Verdict

Fishin’ Frenzy is perhaps not the highest quality slot we’ve ever played, in fact it’s not the best fishing/ocean-themed slot either but it’s worth a go for the enhanced free spins round which seems to pay out some bigger wins along the way.
