Game Overview
I’m missing out on something here. I’ve been fishing three times in my life and never enjoyed it. Lots of my friends spend all their time sitting beside a lake somewhere, catching fish, taking pictures, and then putting them back. I don’t get the appeal, but it’s a popular sport/pastime. Why am I rattling on about fishing? Because Blueprint Gaming has released the zillionth addition to its Fishin’ Frenzy franchise. This time, we get the festive season makeover in Fishin’ Frenzy Christmas. It has 5 reels, 3 rows, 10 paylines, and an apparent 50,000x the stake max win. It also has a shockingly low 93% RTP.
Feature-wise, the Fisherman can collect all the Fish Cash symbols that land during the free spins bonus, as with all other games in the series. There’s more, though, as a Pick a Fish game provides one active upgrade throughout the bonus. You could receive more fish, fishermen, or collect symbols, have a cash tag applied to high-paying symbols and more. You can also trigger additional spins or increase a progressive cash symbol multiplier as you collect fishermen. You’ll learn more about all those features later in our full slot review.
Have you got what it takes to reel in some whopping great payouts? Well, you can practice your casting technique and hone your skills further on the Fishin’ Frenzy Christmas slot demo below.
Fishin Frenzy Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
If there was a definition of a flagship slot franchise, Fishin’ Frenzy from Blueprint Gaming is it. It is up there with Age of the Gods from Playtech, the Riche Wilde slots from Play’n Go, and Pragmatic Play’s Big Bass Bonanza series. The Fishin’ Frenzy series has spawned so many titles it is difficult to keep up. We have reviewed most of them here at Demoslot, including popular titles such as Fishin’ Frenzy The Big Splash, Fishin’ Frenzy: Even Bigger Catch, and Fishin’ Frenzy The Big Catch Megaways.
So, what payouts can you expect to hook from the depths of Fishin’ Frenzy Christmas? The Fisherman Wild and the Pelican symbols are the highest payers worth 200x the stake for a winning combination of five. The Fishing Rod, Lifesaver, and Tackle Box deliver 100x, 50x, and 50x, respectively, and you also receive a 20x payout for any combination of 5 or more fish symbols. As expected, the low-paying symbols are the industry standard royals, with the Ace and King sharing payouts of 10x bet and the Queen, Jack, and Ten all returning 5x for a five-of-a-kind win.
Fishin’ Frenzy Christmas has a big spread of betting options catering to all sized budgets. The lowest-valued spin permitted is €0.10, whilst those with the deepest pockets can cast out their line to the tune of €100.00 a spin.
Fishin Frenzy Christmas Slot Base Game
Blueprint’s Fishin Frenzy Christmas is played over a 5×3 reel matrix where 10 fixed paylines are in play throughout. A win will be awarded if three or more matching symbols land on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel first, with the win also needing to be formed over one of the ten winning ways.
Festive Fishing Feature
On any spin where a fish lands and is added to the net, there is a random chance of the Festive Fishing feature activating. You then get to pick a fish to determine which one of the following modifiers you will be awarded:
- Additional Fish: More fish are added to the reels – guaranteeing a win.
- Trigger the Free Spins Bonus: You’re awarded 10, 15, or 20 free spins.
- Cash Collect: You receive the values of all the fish in view.
- Cash Streak: A spinning streak occurs before you’re given the values of all fish in view.
Fishin Frenzy Christmas Slot Bonus Features
As I explained, it is possible to trigger the free spins bonus via the Festive Fishing base game feature. However, you can also trigger that bonus when you land three or more Fishing Boat scatter symbols anywhere in view.
Pick A Fish
Before the free spins bonus starts, you must pick a fish to determine the upgrade you will receive for your free spins. You can receive:
- +Games: You receive additional free spins.
- Cash Tag: A Cash Tag is applied to all instances of the Tacke Blox, Lifesaver, Fishing Rod, or Pelican high-paying symbols. Essentially, the chosen symbol becomes a Fish Money symbol with random cash values applied when they land. The Fisherman Wild can now collect those symbols.
- +Fish: This adds more fish symbols to the reels during the free spins bonus.
- +Fisherman: This adds more fisherman wild symbols to the reels during the free spins bonus.
- +Collect: This symbol collects the cash values of money symbols multiple times.
- Re-Spin: After each spin, the Cash and Fisherman symbols lock in place, and the remaining positions receive a re-spin. You continue to receive re-spins until the win is no longer improved.
Free Spins Feature
With your modifier determined, your 10, 15, or 20 free spins now start. The Fisherman Wild/Collect symbol is active and will collect all Fish Money Values that land on the same spin. Furthermore, each time a Fisherman symbol lands, it is collected by a meter to the side of the reels. As you reach certain milestones when collecting the Fisherman symbols, you receive:
- Two Fishermen: An additional upgrade.
- Four Fishermen: After collecting four fishermen, 10 additional free spins with a 2x multiplier applied to collected cash symbols.
- Six Fishermen: Another additional upgrade.
- Eight Fishermen: Another 10 free spins, this time with a 3x multiplier.
- Ten Fishermen: Another additional upgrade.
- Twelve Fishermen: Another 10 free spins, this time with a 10x multiplier
Pros
- It’s all about the free spins bonus with upgrades and a money-collect modifier.
- It's a popular slot franchise.
Cons
- Stated RTPs of 95% & 93% are low for a slot game.
Fishin Frenzy Slot Review Final Thoughts
