About the slot
This Blueprint/SG video slot can be played easily on your mobile device as well as desktop. Take your gameplay along in your pocket and never miss any of your gaming sessions. Ever since Samsung and Apple came up with bigger mobile devices, we have seen millions of gamers hooked on to their favourite games using their mobile devices. With bigger buttons on the game console, you will find catching fish on-the-go so much easier.
Compared to its earlier avatar, Fishin' Frenzy Megaways has a simpler game design. But this simplicity may outfox you when you are deep enough into the play. It is highly volatile, and unless you are careful with your winnings and game strategy, you might lose all your money in a jiffy. Are you a newbie? No problem, for you can still bet low and earn big. Play your bets well, and you could end up winning 100,000 coins!
Slot technicalities
With 6 reels and variable rows, this video slot is packed with lots of interesting symbols. Apart from the regular card symbols (A, K, Q, J and 10) which are the low-paying symbols, the high payers are very topical and include a pelican, fishing reel, safety lifebuoy, fishing tackle and, of course, some fish! Each of these symbols has a unique value. For example, the pelican is the highest value symbol, granting you anything from 0.5x (for landing two) to 200x your wager for lining up 6 of a kind, while the lifebuoy and fishing tackle grant you 50x your stake for landing 6 on the lines from left to right.
The makers of this video slot have gone to great lengths to make it visually appealing. Plunge deep into the ocean, and you will see the standard symbols on the reels. But the excitement comes when you land some of the special symbols such as the Scatter – a sturdy fishing vessel ready to land a big catch! The fisherman symbol is the Wild, and it can substitute for all of the other symbols except the Scatter. When you are just starting your play, you will see that the symbols can vary in size on the reels, and this will affect how much you can earn.
Slot special features
One of the distinguishing features of Fishin' Frenzy Megaways is that each reel can have a different number of symbols depending on the size of each of those symbols. This number can vary between 2 and 5 on each reel and in each round. In one spin, you can get as few as 64 or as many as 15,625 Megaways to win!
Of course, another feature of this game is the Wild Fisherman symbol, which can land on any reel. Apart from substituting for any symbol except the Scatter to form winning combinations, the Wild can also perform a very interesting function, which we will find out more about in the next paragraph.
You can win big in this game by triggering the Extra Spins feature. This feature is activated when you land either 3, 4, 5 or a maximum of 6 Scatters anywhere on the reels. These will reward you with 10, 15, 25 or a whopping 50 free spins, respectively. What's more, watch out for the Wild and the fish when you trigger these free spins.
Each of the lovely little blue fish symbols has a cash value attached to them and they can really help you to win big during the free spins game. If the fisherman wild lands alongside some of these fish during your free spins, he will reel them in and add their cash value to your total prize.
Slot tips and tricks
