The Fishin’ Frenzy series is a favourite among UK players, known for its light-hearted fishing theme and straightforward, rewarding gameplay. This edition—Fishin’ Frenzy: Power Play & Spin to Win—introduces a major new feature: the Spin to Win Wheel, adding layers of excitement, retriggers, and growing rewards.
With a 10-line layout, a familiar Free Games mechanic, and added enhancements through Power Play mode, this version is ideal for players who enjoy progressive bonuses, interactive features, and the charm of classic slots like Big Bass Bonanza or Fishin’ Frenzy Even Bigger Fish.
Game Format and Betting Options
-
Reels: 5
-
Win Lines: 10 fixed paylines
-
Min/Max Bet: £1.00 to £2.00
-
Available Stakes: 20p, 50p, £1, and £2
-
Power Play Available: Yes (on £1 and £2 stakes)
This setup keeps the game accessible to casual players while ensuring all features—especially Spin to Win—are available to those playing at the higher end of the stake range.
Base Game: Cast a Line and Start the Chase
As with other Fishin’ Frenzy titles, the base game revolves around landing matching symbols across 10 win lines. Wins start with:
-
2 or more of the high-paying fish symbols
-
3 or more of any other symbols
The real excitement begins when Scatter symbols come into play, as they trigger the Spin to Win Wheel—a new bonus feature not found in earlier games in the series.
Spin to Win Wheel: A Bonus That Builds
How to Trigger:
-
Land 3 or more Scatter symbols during a spin
-
Additional Scatter symbols upgrade the reward on the wheel
What Happens Next:
-
The Spin to Win Wheel begins spinning and can award:
-
A number of Free Games
-
Or +1 on the Fisherman Trail, which boosts your bonus once Free Games start
-
Wheel Mechanics:
-
Once a segment (e.g. 10 Free Games) is landed on, that segment changes to “Collect”
-
The wheel keeps spinning until it lands on “Collect”, at which point you’re taken into the Free Games Feature
This adds a suspenseful build-up, where each spin could improve your reward, but also risks ending the wheel sequence.
It’s a mechanic somewhat reminiscent of Deal or No Deal-style prize boards, or the spinning pick wheels seen in games like Reel King Mega or Big Bass Amazon Xtreme.
Power Play: More Chances to Trigger the Wheel
Enabling Power Play gives players a chance to activate the Spin to Win Wheel randomly—even without landing three Scatters.
How It Works:
-
Available on higher stakes (typically £1 or £2)
-
On any spin, the reels may stop and a pop-up will announce: Spin to Win Wheel Activated
-
From here, the player experiences the full wheel mechanic just like a regular trigger
This gives more consistent access to bonuses and creates extra excitement even during base game spins—similar in feel to Power Play mechanics in Pompay Gold or Mega Bars: Double Your Money.
Free Games Feature: Fishermen, Trails, and Upgrades
Once you enter the Free Games Feature (via the wheel), the classic Fishin’ Frenzy mechanic comes into play—with some added depth.
During Free Games:
-
Fish symbols land on the reels carrying cash values
-
Fisherman symbols collect the fish values in view and add them to your total win
-
Every Fisherman also progresses the Fisherman Trail
Fisherman Trail:
-
Every 3 Fishermen collected:
-
Adds 5 extra Free Games
-
Upgrades fish cash values for the remainder of the feature
-
-
The trail can retrigger multiple times, up to a maximum multiplier
This builds in escalating rewards and encourages longer Free Spins rounds—much like the level-up features in Big Bass Bonanza or Fishin’ Frenzy Even Bigger Fish, but here tied to a wheel-based entry system that offers more control and progression.
Conclusion:
Fishin’ Frenzy: Power Play & Spin to Win takes a well-loved formula and gives it a significant upgrade:
-
The Spin to Win Wheel adds an exciting, layered entry into Free Games
-
Power Play increases bonus frequency without overcomplicating the base game
-
The evolving Fisherman Trail brings replay value and ongoing win potential
If you’re a fan of Fishin’ Frenzy, Big Bass Splash, or Reel King Megaways, this version is a great next step—offering both familiarity and fresh ways to win.
