Fishin' Frenzy

Fishin' Frenzy operates on a 5-reel, 3-row grid where the fisherman wild symbol transforms from a simple substitute into a cash-collecting machine during the bonus round. Here's what makes this Real Time Gaming slot mechanically unique.

Base Game Mechanics

You select between 1 and 10 paylines with stakes ranging from 100 to 200,000 coins. The pelican pays the highest base game prize at 400,000 coins for five symbols, requiring only two symbols to trigger a win. The fishing rod awards 200,000 for five, whilst the life preserver and tackle box both pay 100,000 for a full line.

Card symbols (10, J, Q, K, A) pay uniformly: 20,000 for five, 5,000 for four, and 1,000 for three. All wins calculate left to right on consecutive reels, with only the highest win per line paid.

The Scatter Boat Trigger

Three boat scatter symbols award 10 free games. Four boats grant 15 free spins. Five boats deliver 20 free games. These scatter wins pay regardless of payline selection, appearing anywhere on the reels. The free spins cannot retrigger, so your initial scatter count determines your total bonus spins.

Fish Collection Mathematics

Fish symbols display monetary values: 20, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, or 500 coins. When a fisherman lands during free spins, he doesn't just substitute for other symbols—he actively catches and awards the sum of all fish values present. If you have three fish showing 100, 200, and 500, and two fisherman symbols land, each fisherman collects 800 coins independently, awarding you 1,600 coins total from the collection feature alone.

The fisherman also pays as a standard symbol during free games: 5,000 for five symbols, 500 for four, 100 for three, and 10 for two. He substitutes for all symbols except the boat scatter.

Volatility and Win Patterns

With an RTP of 96.12%, Fishin' Frenzy sits in medium volatility territory. The maximum win reaches 250,000 times your total bet. Base game wins come frequently through the pelican and fishing equipment symbols, but the substantial multipliers emerge during free spins when multiple fisherman symbols collect from fish-heavy screens.

The 10 selectable paylines mean you control your exposure. Playing all 10 lines maximises your scatter trigger chances and ensures you don't miss winning combinations, but playing fewer lines reduces your per-spin cost if you're managing a smaller bankroll.

Strategic Betting Approach

The bet range from 100 to 200,000 coins accommodates both cautious players and high rollers. Since free spins play at your triggering bet level, consider your stake carefully before spinning. A 10,000-coin bet that triggers 20 free games with multiple fisherman-fish interactions can generate wins exceeding 2,000,000 coins.

The autoplay function runs up to your selected number of spins but stops automatically when free games trigger, when you hit a loss limit, or when you manually press stop. This prevents you from missing the bonus round action.

Game Version and Provider

Fishin' Frenzy version 1.6.1.8 released by Real Time Gaming with applicability date 17th January 2023. RTG maintains this title across their casino network with consistent RTP and mathematical model.

Bet Configuration

Select between 1 and 10 paylines. Choose your bet per line from the available stake options. Total bet equals bet per line multiplied by active paylines. Minimum total bet: 100 coins. Maximum total bet: 200,000 coins (or currency equivalent).

Win Calculation Method

Line wins multiply by the bet per line value. Wins on different paylines add together. Only the highest win per line pays. Scatter wins add to line wins. All symbols must appear on consecutive reels starting from the leftmost reel.

Free Games Rules

Free games play at the same bet level and number of lines as the triggering spin. Stakes are not deducted during free spins. Winnings accumulate and award at the conclusion of the bonus round. The feature cannot retrigger.

Malfunction Policy

Malfunction voids all plays and pays. Return to player percentage represents long-term theoretical payout across millions of spins, not a guarantee for individual sessions.
