Play Fishin' Frenzy for Free

Nothing quite beats a bit of sea fishing. The fresh air, the sounds of nature and the chance to do absolutely nothing for an afternoon away from the little annoyances of normal life.

Fishin' Frenzy aims to give keen anglers the chance to get that same sense of relaxation with its novelty fishing theme, featuring a whole host of different fishy symbols upon its cartoon coloured reels, from tiny little minnows to great big whopping finned monsters. And to help spinners on their quest to catch the biggest fish they can, the game includes some essential angling tools such as boxes full of bait, floating life-rings and, of course, a fishing rod.

In terms of this game's aesthetic, players should be pleasantly surprised by the basic nature of the cartoon icons. Of course, this two dimensional approach to game design does make the slot machine feel a little bit childish, but the reels are still perfectly enjoyable to spin with plenty of attractive and bright colours. Plus, the game does include some simple animations which cause the symbols to jump into action whenever they form winning lines.

Those winning lines are created whenever spinners manage to line up two or more of the same icons upon a payline from left to right. The amount of paylines active – and therefore winning chances – depends entirely on the player since it is possible to choose anywhere between 1 and 10 active lines on any spin.

However, more lines means a higher total bet with the number of active paylines being multiplied by the following line wager options: 0.01, 0.02, 0.05, 0.10, 0.20, 0.50 and 1.00 credit. So, there is enough scope for casual punters to play with total stakes worth no more than 0.01 credits while high rollers can go all out with overall wagers worth 10.00 credits.

Whenever a successful combination of icons appears on a payline, the appropriate line bet multiplier from the table below will be given as a prize:

This angling slot machine also gives punters the chance to catch some decent wins with a special scatter symbol – depicted by a fishing boast sailing into the sunset. This scatter will award a round of free spins whenever three, four or five appear in any position on the reels, regardless of payline position. In fact, there is a chance to win up to 20 free games if five scatters were to show up on the reels.

During this free game, bettors will be given the chance to win some extra prizes thanks to a fairly unique bonus gameplay feature. As you may notice during the base game, the fish icons appear upon the reels with a different price tag which is higher or lower depending on the size of the fish.

Whenever the free games are in motion, a new fisherman symbol will appear from time to time to reel in these price tags, adding the combined total to the player's betting balance. And if two fishermen appear on the reels, then punters will receive twice the amount of extra bonus prizes.

If that doesn't give you any catches big enough to satisfy your appetite, then you can always play the 50/50 gamble game to double your wins. Just guess the colour of the turned over playing card.

There aren't enough fishing themed slot machines out there, but this offering from Reel Time Gaming should be enough to satisfy players who enjoy a spot of angling. Admittedly, the game's design might be a bit too silly for those serious anglers out there, but the slot machine has every potential to provide some big prize catches thanks to a free spins bonus round with extra winning opportunities.
