The demo runs on virtual credits. No card details, no deposit, no hidden catches—it's completely free.

You're playing version 1.6.1.8 (certified January 2023), identical to the real game. Same mechanics, same win potential, same everything. This isn't a watered-down teaser; it's the full slot minus actual money.

No registration needed. Click and play. You can test the free spins feature, see how often those fisherman wilds appear during bonus rounds, or just watch ten spins to get a feel for the pace. No time limits, no spin caps.

Helpful if you want to understand the 10-line selection before betting real stakes, or check whether you actually enjoy the fishing theme. Once you've seen enough, the real version is the same game—just with withdrawable wins.

Before Megaways, Fortune Spins, and a dozen other variants cluttered the waters, there was just Fishin' Frenzy—the 2014 original that accidentally spawned one of the UK's most relentless slot franchises. You've probably seen its descendants everywhere, but this is the stripped-back 5x3 that started it all: ten selectable paylines, a cheerful cartoon fisherman, and free spins where he catches floating fish values. That's it. No cascades, no expanding reels, no progressive multipliers—just a simple bonus round that clearly resonated hard enough to justify a decade of sequels. The question worth asking isn't whether this slot feels dated now (it does), but whether that original simplicity still does something the flashier versions lost along the way. With 96.12% RTP and a max win of 250,000 coins, the maths haven't aged badly. But does the gameplay justify choosing this over Fishin' Frenzy Megaways or The Big Catch?

How To Play

Before you spin, you'll need to configure your bet, and Fishin' Frenzy gives you more control than most modern slots. This isn't a simple "pick total bet and go" setup—you're selecting both the number of active win lines and your bet per line.

Setting Up Your Bet

Click the stack of coins button to open the bet menu. You'll see two settings here:

The total bet displays under BETS and ranges from 1.00 to 2,000.00 (or currency equivalent). This two-part system lets you tailor your risk—you could play all 10 lines with a small per-line bet, or focus on fewer lines with higher stakes.

Spinning the Reels

Once your bet's set, press the circular arrow spin button. The reels spin and stop automatically from left to right. Here's where it gets useful: during the spin, the button changes to a fast-forward icon. Press it to stop the reels prematurely if you're impatient. This doesn't affect the outcome—the result's already determined when you pressed spin—but it speeds things up.

Autoplay Options

The circular arrows button opens the autoplay menu. Select how many spins you want (the exact number options aren't specified in the documentation, but you'll see them in the menu). The remaining autoplay spins display on the button itself as they count down.

Important: autoplay stops automatically when you trigger free spins or hit any loss limit you've set. You'll see additional settings marked with asterisks (*) in the menu—these are mandatory selections before autoplay starts. To pause autoplay mid-session, press the square stop button. You can resume by pressing spin again, and your remaining autoplays will continue.

The interface keeps things transparent—your active win lines display as coloured lines across the reels, and line numbers (1-10) appear on both sides of the screen, grayed out when inactive.

Symbols and Payouts

Fishin' Frenzy uses a 10-payline system where wins form left to right on consecutive reels. The paytable values shown below are in credits and get multiplied by your bet per line.

Scatter symbol - Fishing Boat with SCATTER text

Scatter Symbol: Fishing Boat

The Boat with the word "SCATTER" written on it doesn't need to land on a payline—it counts anywhere on the reels. Three or more Boats trigger the Free Games bonus:

  • 5 Boats = 20 free games
  • 4 Boats = 15 free games
  • 3 Boats = 10 free games

Scatter wins get added to any line wins you land on the same spin.

Wild symbol - Fisherman in green vest and orange shirt holding golden fish

Wild Symbol: Fisherman

The Fisherman—a smiling character in a green vest and orange shirt holding a large golden fish—only appears during Free Games. He substitutes for all symbols except the Boat scatter.

During Free Games, the Fisherman also pays on his own:

Fisherman Symbols Payout
5 5,000
4 500
3 100
2 10

But his main job isn't just substituting—he's there to catch fish.

Free Games Bonus

Land three or more Boat scatters anywhere in view and you're taken to the Free Games feature. The number of free spins depends on how many Boats triggered it: three gets you 10 spins, four gets you 15, and five awards 20.

Free Games play on the same bet and number of lines as the spin that triggered them. You can't retrigger the feature from within the bonus.

The Fish Catching Mechanic

This is where things get interesting. During Free Games, Fish symbols appear on the reels with cash values attached to them—these values range from 20 to 500 credits (specifically: 20, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, or 500).

When a Fisherman Wild lands on the reels during a free spin, he collects the prize from every Fish symbol visible on screen. If multiple Fishermen land on the same spin, each one collects from all the Fish. So two Fishermen with three Fish on screen means you get the combined Fish values twice.

These collected prizes get added to any regular line wins from that spin. The free spins continue until you've used them all, then all accumulated winnings get paid out together.
