Robert Longthorpe - 26 October 2021 in News

The fishing-themed online slot game, Fishin’ Frenzy has been a major hit among NZ online casino fans for years now.

The 5 reel, 10 pay line game was first developed in 2014 by Realtime Gaming and licensed out to Blueprint Gaming. Over the years, it has managed to stand the test of time and continues to attract players, despite the incredible leap we have seen in the world of online slots graphics and animations.

Recently, Blueprint Gaming announced that it had launched an enhanced version of the iconic slot game. Without taking away any of the original charm and features of game, Fishin’ Frenzy: The Big Catch offers even more opportunities to reel in seriously big prizes.

Are you ready to dive into the deep and check out the new slot game? Then it’s time to read on.

What’s Fishin’ Frenzy: The Big Catch Slot All About?

The latest installment of Blueprint Gaming’s Fishin’ Frenzy slot manages to retain all the familiar characters and characteristics of the original game. All the graphics that players find charming in the original Fishin’ Frenzy have been carried over into the new game.

However, Blueprint Gaming has updated the features so that players can make bigger catches of the day, thanks to some seriously superb bonus features. Perhaps the best new feature is an extra free spins round.

Some of the new features include:

New Free Spins Round: When four scatter and wild Fisherman symbols land during the free spins, the Big Catch is awarded and the cash value of the smallest fish is upgraded to the next size. Players are also granted five extra spins.
Greater Win Potential: If players manage to collect enough Fisherman symbols through the free spins round will see all fish that land gain a 50 x bet value. This is much greater win potential for players all-round.
