The Fishin’ Frenzy Megaways slot is produced by Blueprint Gaming. Blueprint Gaming are one of the smaller slot development companies on the market at the moment and do not offer their own casino platform.

However, in this instance they have done, which means we know that the house edge for Fishin’ Frenzy Megaways is 3.9%.
Fishin’ Frenzy Megaways is a 6 reel slot that has reels of varying size. The number of symbols that make up a reel can change at random, with the potential for each reel to contain 5 symbols.

Special Symbols
Wild
– The “Fisherman” is the Wild symbol which will substitute for all symbols other than the Scatter symbol.
Scatter
– The Scatter symbol is the “Fishing Boat”. You need 3 or more of them anywhere on the reels to trigger the Free Spins feature.
Bonus Features
Free Spins
– If you land 3, 4, 5 or 6 Scatter symbols on a single spin then you will be awarded with 10,15,25 or 50 Free Spins in total. During the Free Spins the “Fisherman” Wild symbol will catch “Fish” symbol every time one lands on the reels. Each “Fish” symbol comes with a value and when a “Fisherman” Wild lands on the reels at the same time you will collect the value of all the “Fish” symbols added together.
Pay to Play
– You can choose to play the Free Spins feature whenever you want to but will have to be prepared to pay. You will need to pay 100 times your bet in order to pay to play the Free Spins.
Conclusion
Fishin’ Frenzy Megaways is considered one of BluePrint Gaming’s most successful slots. It is simple, both in terms of the features on offer and in terms of the look of the slot. You get Wilds and Free Spins and your Free Spins come with an additional instant cash bonus when you land Wilds and Fish on the same spins. The house edge is offering OK value, but nothing to get all that excited about. All things considered I am struggling to see what all the fuss is about!
