Reel in the Catch of a Lifetime
During free spins, every fisherman symbol that lands collects cash prizes from all fish symbols visible on screen simultaneously. This innovative feature can trigger multiple times per spin.
Landing 3, 4, or 5 boat scatter symbols awards 10, 15, or 20 free games respectively. Scatters pay anywhere on the reels without requiring consecutive positions.
Fish symbols display cash values ranging from 20 to 500 credits. During the free games feature, these values are collected by any fisherman that appears, adding to your total win.
The pelican is the premium symbol paying 400,000 credits for five of a kind, 40,000 for four, 10,000 for three, and even 1,000 for just two symbols on a payline.
Fishin' Frenzy distinguishes itself through Real Time Gaming's innovative fisherman collection mechanic. Unlike standard free spins where wilds simply substitute, here the fisherman wild symbol actively collects monetary values from every fish symbol visible across all reel positions when it lands.
The mathematics behind this feature create substantial win potential. With fish values up to 500 credits and the possibility of multiple fishermen appearing in a single spin, the collection system can generate wins that far exceed the standard paytable. For instance, if three fishermen land with seven fish symbols showing values of 100, 150, 200, 250, 500, 50, and 20, each fisherman collects the total sum of 1,270 credits, resulting in 3,810 credits from the collection feature alone, before counting any standard line wins.
The 96.12% RTP positions this slot in the fair-to-player category, with the volatility profile suggesting medium variance. The free spins cannot retrigger, which concentrates the bonus value into the initial award. Strategic players should note that maximum exposure occurs when betting across all 10 lines, as this activates all winning patterns for both base game and the critical free spins collection rounds.
The free games feature activates when 3 or more boat scatter symbols appear anywhere in view:
During free games, the fisherman wild symbol becomes active and appears on the reels. Each fisherman that lands collects the prize value from every fish symbol visible on screen at that moment. The fisherman also substitutes for all symbols except the boat scatter, helping form additional winning combinations.
Critical Detail: Fish symbols display values of 20, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, or 500 credits. Multiple fishermen in a single spin each collect from all fish independently, multiplying the collection potential.
Step 1: Select your bet level using the coin stack button. Choose from the available stake range between 100 and 200,000 credits based on your bankroll and risk tolerance.
Step 2: Activate between 1 and 10 paylines. All 10 lines are recommended for maximum winning potential, particularly important for triggering the scatter bonus across all reel positions.
Step 3: Press the circular arrow spin button to start the reels. Wins pay left to right on consecutive reels beginning from the leftmost reel. Only the highest win on each line is paid, but wins across different lines accumulate.
Step 4: During base game, watch for boat scatter symbols. Three or more anywhere trigger the free games feature where the fisherman collection mechanic activates.
Step 5: In free games, the fisherman wild appears and collects values from all fish symbols visible. Each fisherman collects independently, so multiple fishermen multiply your collection wins.
Autoplay Option: Use the circular arrows button to set automatic spins. Autoplay stops upon entering free games, reaching loss limits, or when manually stopped.
Fishin' Frenzy is a game of chance with a house edge of 3.88% (100% - 96.12% RTP). Set deposit limits before playing. Never chase losses. The free spins feature has a variable hit frequency, and extended sessions without bonus triggers are statistically normal. Gambling should be entertainment, not income generation.
