- Another Fishin’ Frenzy slot!!
- Even Bigger Fish is packed with bonuses, and is probably the best Fishin’ Frenzy slot yet!
- Blueprint brings the classic pie gamble to their £500 slot, for cash or free spins chances.
If you’re already a fan of the Fishin’ Frenzy series—or any of the wildly popular fishing-themed slots like Big Bass Bonanza or Fishing Pots of Gold—then Fishin’ Frenzy: Even Bigger Fish might just be your next catch. This upgraded 6-reel slot takes the familiar angling action and adds more depth, more features, and of course, even bigger fish.
With 4,096 win ways, an evolving Free Games trail, and several collector-based mechanics tied to your stake level, this game introduces layers of strategy while keeping the easygoing feel that made the original a favourite.
Fishin’ Frenzy: Even Bigger Fish £500 Jackpot Gameplay & Features
Game Setup and Betting Options
-
Reels: 6
-
Win Lines: 4,096 (all-ways pays system)
-
Min/Max Bet: £0.25 to £2.00
Rather than using traditional paylines, this game uses an all-ways format, meaning any 3 or more matching symbols on adjacent reels from left to right count as a win—similar to how Bonanza Megaways or Buffalo King operate.
Base Game: Casting Your Line
Wins are awarded by landing 3 or more matching symbols across the reels. Among the symbols are various sized fish, each carrying cash values or even jackpot pots.
What makes this title stand out from earlier Fishin’ Frenzy games is the flexible collector system, activated through Fishermen symbols on reels 1 and/or 6. Depending on your stake, you’ll unlock different collection features, each adding something new to the core mechanic.
Fisherman Collect Features – Stake-Based Enhancements
The heart of the game is the Fisherman Collect system. Depending on your stake size, you’ll have access to progressively more advanced features:
Available at All Stakes:
-
Reel ‘Em In: If at least one Fisherman lands on reel 1 or 6 alongside any fish, all visible fish are collected for a payout. Reels without a Fisherman will then re-spin, locking in any fish and giving further chances to catch more. The feature ends when no new fish land.
£0.50 and Above – Bait & Catch:
-
Works like Reel ‘Em In, but adds re-spins to build value. As more fish lock in, potential payouts increase.
£1 and Above – Bigger Catch:
-
After a successful fish collect, cash prizes can be boosted by up to 5x your stake before being awarded. Think of it as a temporary multiplier effect for serious anglers.
£2 Stake Only – Pick A Fish:
-
If the Pick A Fish symbol appears with a Fisherman, you’re prompted to choose from 3 mystery fish—each revealing either a cash prize or a pot (jackpot). A nice nod to Big Bass Hold & Spinner, but with a more interactive twist.
This tiered structure allows players to choose their level of risk and reward—something not seen in earlier Fishin’ Frenzy games, or even in other fishing slots like Bass Boss or Big Fin Bay.
Gamble Feature: Extra Risk, Extra Reward
Players can choose to enable or disable the gamble feature, with a further option to only enable it on wins of £5 or more.
If triggered, you’ll see six dials:
-
Three dials gamble for Free Games,
-
The other three offer the chance to win bigger cash prizes.
Each dial has a green segment that represents a successful outcome. The smaller the segment, the higher the potential reward. If you succeed on a cash prize gamble, you can continue gambling all the way up to the £500 cap.
This mechanic is similar to what you’d find in some Novomatic or Blueprint titles where you risk base wins for bonus features—but with more choice and less randomness.
Power Play: Boosting Bigger Wins
Available across all stake levels, Power Play activates the Super Reels feature:
-
When you land a win worth 2.5x your stake or more, you’ll be awarded Super Reels.
-
These can award either:
-
A win multiplier (1x, 2x, or 3x), or
-
Up to 20 Free Games
-
It’s a bit like Fishin’ Frenzy Power 4 Slots meets Reel King Megaways, giving you a boost just when you need it.
Free Games Feature: Upgrades and Multipliers
Landing 3, 4, 5 or 6 Scatters triggers 10, 15, 20 or 25 Free Games respectively.
Key Features During Free Games:
-
Only active Fishermen appear during this mode.
-
Every time a Fisherman lands, he is added to a progress bar.
-
Every 3 Fishermen collected awards:
-
+5 additional Free Games
-
An increase to the win multiplier for Fisherman Collect (up to a 5x maximum)
-
-
A maximum of 4 retriggers is allowed per Free Games session.
This structure is very similar to Big Bass Bonanza and its sequel Big Bass Splash, where collecting Fishermen enhances the bonus feature. The difference here is the progressive retrigger + multiplier system, which gives it more depth and scaling potential.
Big Splash Bonus (Exclusive to £2 Stake)
When you trigger Free Games on the £2 stake, you’re given access to the Big Splash Bonus.
-
You’ll be presented with 12 Fish to pick from.
-
Each pick may award a boost for the upcoming Free Games (e.g., more Fishermen, extra spins, improved symbols).
-
Picking continues until “Start Free Games” is revealed.
This mechanic is reminiscent of the pre-feature modifiers in games like Big Bass Bonanza: Keeping it Reel or Legacy of Dead, but with a fresh, pick-based twist that puts control in your hands.
Final Thoughts
Fishin’ Frenzy: Even Bigger Fish lives up to its name by expanding the classic Fishin’ Frenzy formula in every direction—more win lines, more features, and more control over how you play.
With:
-
A tiered Fisherman system based on stake level,
-
A progressive Free Games feature,
-
And Power Play mechanics that boost mid-sized wins,
…it’s easily one of the most feature-rich fishing slots available today. Fans of Big Bass, Fishin’ Frenzy Megaways, and Reel ‘Em In Lobster Potty will feel right at home—just with a bigger rod and a deeper pond.
