Fishin' Frenzy Even Bigger Catch Slot – Free Demo
Provider:
Reel Time Gaming
The Fisherman here only wakes up in Free Games, and in 470 spins the three boat scatters that would have woken him never lined up. What paid instead was the Pelican, in fours, on a balance that stayed under its opening 1,000.00 the whole way.

Where the Pelican does the paying
Fear not. The only thing at risk is your bank account in Reel Time Gaming's Fishin' Frenzy Even Bigger Catch. It sits in the same series as Fishin' Frenzy The Big Catch and Fishin' Frenzy Megaways.
Technically, Fishin' Frenzy Even Bigger Catch is a 10-payline slot with 5 reels, 3 rows. All 10 lines are always active, and wins pay left to right from the far-left reel. It arrives with a 95% RTP, and it can be enjoyed from 0.10 credits a spin. I played 470 spins at 1.00 each from a 1,000.00 balance and finished on 754.50, a return of 47.8%.
Royals, Fish and a Fisherman who waits for Free Games
The low-value symbols are depicted by your standard A, K, Q, J and 10 royals. Aces and Kings pay up to 10x the stake for five, Queens, Jacks and 10s up to 5x, and any mix of Fish symbols pays as one symbol, up to 20x for five. The high-payers are made up of the fishing trip itself such as fish, tackle boxes, life rings, fishing reels and a pelican, and the Fisherman, as the main character, splits the highest position with the pelican. The rules make him active only during Free Games, so in the base game the top line pay belongs to the Pelican alone. Should you hit 5 across a payline, he delivers a 200 times the stake win. Five Fishing reels pay 100x the stake, and five Life rings or Tackle boxes pay 50x.
The Fisherman symbol is the wild. It deputises for all symbols bar the scatter and bonus symbols and has a very important part in the bonus. My three biggest wins, 26.00, 25.00 and 22.00, each included 4 Pelicans paying 20x the stake.
Minty’s Final Note: The Golden Catch buy costs 180x the bet and guarantees that every Fisherman in the round is golden. My 470 unbought spins at 1.00 cost 470.00, returned 224.50 and never drew three boat scatters.
Boat scatters, Fish values and the Fisherman tally
The Free Games bonus is what this slot is all about. Inside the round, every Fish symbol carries a prize value of 2x to 50x the total bet. Punters need to land at least 3 boat scatter symbols anyplace on the reels to trigger it, and 3, 4 or 5 award 10, 15 or 20 free spins correspondingly. The free games play on the same 10 lines and at the same bet as the spin that triggered them. Every 4 Fishermen collected will grant you an extra 5 free spins and upgrade the lowest-paying Fish. That Fisherman tally carries over from one free game to the next, and the round runs until every spin is used, when the accumulated winnings are paid.
Pivotal to the bonus is the Fisherman wild symbol. It now collects the cash value of every Fish in view and can also land as a Gold Fisherman. That lets you choose from 3 Fish for a 2x to 10x multiplier on all Fish collected, and the game holds a max win of 10,000 times your stake. The Golden Catch Free Spins buy goes straight into the feature for 180x the current bet and guarantees that every Fisherman landing during it is golden.
470 spins without three boats
Three boat scatters never arrived together in 470 spins, I discovered. Of those spins, 111 paid, 70 of them less than the stake, and the balance never climbed above the 1,000.00 it opened with.
In my view, the base game is a touch monotonous.
