As you'd expect from a fishing-themed game, the design in the Fishin' Frenzy Megaways slot features several shades of blue since the action happens underwater. Coral images are visible just below the water's surface. The game is older, so there isn't much movement on the screen like there is in modern slot games, except when there's a win, and the symbols are animated. When you enter the Free Games bonus round, the setting switches to sunset with warm hues of yellow, pink, and purple.

Music and sound effects wise expect plenty of traditional slot sounds. On the grid a lighter blue colour displays several recognizable sea and fishing-related images in bright colours to liven up the screen which you can see above.

Below is the list of all of the symbols and their values:

• 10, J & Q: 3 = 0.3, 4 = 0.5, 5 = 1 and 6 = 2.5 x the bet
• K & A: 3 = 0.5, 4 = 1, 5 = 2 and 6 = 5 x the bet
• Lifebuoy and fishing tackle box: 3 = 2, 4 = 6, 5 = 10 an 6 = 50 x the bet
• Fishing rod: 3 = 3, 4 = 10, 5 = 15 and 6 = 100 x the bet
• Seagull: 2 = 0/5, 3 = 5, 4 = 15, 5 = 30 and 6 = 200 x the bet
• Wild symbol: represented by the Fisherman and substitutes for all symbols apart from the Scatter.
• Scatter symbol: represented by fishing boats and 3+ trigger the Free Games.

Fishin' Frenzy Megaways Mobile

Like most modern slot games, Fishin' Frenzy Megaways is designed to play well on any device, whether a desktop, tablet, iPhone, or Android smartphone.

Fishin’ Frenzy Megaways comes with one headliner bonus feature, the Fisherman Free Games feature. 

Fisherman Free Games

When you land 3 or more Scatter symbols, you'll trigger the Fisherman Free Games feature. The number of free spins you receive depends on the number of scatters landed: 3, 4, 5 or 6 scatters rewards you with 10, 15, 25 or 50 free spins respectively.

During the Free Games, if the Fisherman is in view, he catches any blue fish that land on the grid and nets the value on their tags for extra wins, which you can see below. These blue fish all have values up to 50 x the bet. Lastly, you cannot retrigger the feature to win additional free spins. 

Fishin’ Frenzy Bonus Bet

If you're not based in the UK, you can use the Fishin’ Frenzy Bonus Bet feature, which means you can pay to enter the Free Games bonus feature. This will cost you 100 x the bet.

Rating: 4/5

Fishin' Frenzy Megaways keeps true to the original slot but includes BTG's shape-shifting mechanic for max wins of up to 50,000 x bet.

The Fishin’ Frenzy Megaways slot was created by Aussie studio Reel Time Gaming and licensed to Blueprint Gaming, the experts behind classics like The Goonies, Buffalo Rising Megaways, Deal or No Deal, and Eye of Horus. 

The original Fishin' Frenzy slot was released way back in 2014 and was the UK’s most popular arcade and high-street bookmaker shop game. Fishin’ Frenzy Megaways looks a little dated, although that retro vibe is part of its charm and matches the other games in the series. The Fishin’ Frenzy series is popular with slot players, and you can read more about these games in this OLBG guide to Fishin’ Frenzy slots.

The 10,000 x max win is decent, and this is matched with a medium-volatility rating which is a good balance. Being a Megaways game is a huge plus, although this game isn’t one of my top picks. I prefer Rasputin Megaways or the original Megaways game Bonanza Megaways for the full Megaways experience.

If fishing-themed slot games are your cup of tea, you should check out Pragmatic Play’s Big Bass Bonanza series. Here at OLBG we’ve written a guide to the Big Bass Bonanza Slots.

Fishin’ Frenzy Megaways is a simple game, which could be a pro or con depending on what you're looking for. However, if you're in the mood for a straightforward slot that does what it says on the tin, this game fits the bill nicely.
