The massive success of the original Fishin’ Frenzy has spawned many different versions. You have Blueprint’s progressive jackpot version, as well as their Megaways version, and with Fishin’ Frenzy Prize Lines™ you now have a slingo version also. The cozy and idyllic vibe of the original game has been transferred successfully, and the gameplay is quite entertaining too.
The 5-spins cycle keeps things short and sweet, unless you choose to walk the razor’s edge of the Spin-Crease Chance feature. This feature is truly a double-edged sword, and you need to tread carefully. Getting to the Frenzy Spins bonus round is what it’s really all about here, as this is your only chance to catch the big fish.
When the 5-spins round is finished, you get aSpin-Crease Chance. You can choose to simply take your prize and start over with a new 5-spins round, or you can keep spinning with the current number of completed lines and fish symbols on the grid. If you choose the latter, the cost of each spin will be calculated individually depending on your winning chances.
When you have completed at least8 Prize Lines, you will be awarded withFrenzy Spins. More specifically, you will get 1, 2 and 5 Frenzy Spins when you complete 8, 9 or 10 lines. If you fill the whole5x5grid with nothing but golden fish symbols (Full House), you win 10 Frenzy Spins.
The Frenzy Spins bonus round is played out on a 5×5 grid also, and you will now land cash fish that become sticky on the grid. Each cash fish comes with a random cash value attached, and you can collect up to 25 cash fish in this feature. This can lead to payouts up to£250,000, which is the capped max win of this game.
We certainly enjoyed our test session on this slot/bingo hybrid, and we landed some okay wins also. Getting to the very top of the Prize Line is not all that easy, but we managed to get some Frenzy Spins action after a while. Nothing revolutionary was landed, but we still left the session with our mood lifted.
Being big fans of the Fishin’ Frenzy franchise, we certainly had our hopes up for Blueprint’sslot/bingo hybrid version. Fishin’ Frenzy Prize Lines contains the samy cozy fishing trip vibe as the regular video slots, and fans of slingo should rejoice. This game offers an entertaining base game, as climbing the Prize Line ladder is always fun.
However, the Spin-Crease Chance feature comes with somewhat of a dilemma. It can really make or break your session, and it’s tough to know when to stop. You’re just gonna have to go with your gut feeling with this feature. However, it’s very easy to be hooked, and this allows the game to reel you in like a gutted cash fish, instead of the other way around.
Pros
Cons
Fishin’ Frenzy- is the Reel Time Gaming original title that’s still super-popular to this day. The lighthearted charming theme, and the cash fishing bonus round never seems to get old. You can win up to 2,000x your stake here, and the volatility is low to medium.
Fishin’ Frenzy Megaways- is everything the original game was, but blown out of all regular proportions. The cartoonish charm is still going strong, but you can now benefit from up to 15,625 win ways. The cash fishing bonus round is similar, but you now stand to win up to 10,000x your stake.
Fishin’ Frenzy Jackpot King- is a low volatility game that’s similar to the original title. However, you can win 3 progressive jackpots here, in addition to the cash fishing bonus round that can land you wins up to 50x per fish. This is also a Blueprint creation, by the way.
