- A familiar-looking slot from Inspired Gaming
- Based on the popular Fishin’ Frenzy slot from Blueprint
- Virtually identical to the original but with a lower RTP
Catch of the Day is a new, fishing-themed slot from Inspired Gaming, with a very familiar look and feel. That’s because it’s very clearly trying to piggyback on the success of Fishin’ Frenzy from Blueprint. This is clear from the get go with the design, set underwater with old-fashioned visuals and a basic set of reels. Let’s a look and see if they’ve changed the gameplay and features to make this slot stand out.
Speaking of gameplay, you have a set of 5 reels and 3 rows to give you 10 pay lines. All you need to do to get things going is spin the reels and try for a winning combination from left to right using the base symbols. These are as follows, ranked in ascending order based on their value:
- 10, Jack, Queen, King or Ace
- Mixed Fish
- Hook or Shoe
- Lifebuoy
- Cup
There’s a wild symbol too, shown as a fisherman, that substitutes for all other symbols in a winning combination apart from the scatter, but it only appears in the bonus game.

Conclusion
Catch of the Day slot from Inspired Gaming doesn’t try and hide from the fact that it’s based on the hugely popular Fishin’ Frenzy slot from Blueprint. In fact, it’s not just based on it but it’s a complete copy. The design and theme are very similar, and the features are the same. They’ve made no attempt to add something new or differentiate it in some way, apart from the fact that the RTP is actually lower. There’s really no reason to recommend this slot, I generally don’t appreciate copies anway and when it’s actually worse it just makes no sense.
