Fishin’ Frenzy Fortune Spins Slot Review

Fishin' Frenzy Fortune Spins Slot - Game Overview

Fishin' Frenzy Fortune Spins landed in February 2022 and felt instantly familiar to me as someone who has hammered the original slot for years. You get a simple 5 reel, 3 row layout with 10 fixed paylines and a traditional fishing theme. Stakes in standard play start at low levels and climb to £10 a spin, so the game covers casual sessions and more serious punts without ever feeling too intimidating.

In the base game of Fishin' Frenzy Fortune Spins you are basically playing a streamlined version of the first release. Line up 3 or more matching symbols from left to right for wins, while Boat Scatters trigger free spins. The real twist sits in the Fortune Spins mode, where you pay a premium per round to play on four reel sets at once and hunt for stacked Fisherman symbols.

Symbols and Paytable in Fishin' Frenzy Fortune Spins

The symbol set in Fishin' Frenzy Fortune Spins sticks close to the series template. Low pays are standard card ranks, while premium icons show fish, fishing rods, tackle boxes, life rings and those greedy seabirds. Five birds on a payline award 200 times your line bet, rods give 100 times, and life rings or bait pay 50 times. Card ranks sit at the bottom, returning 10 times your line stake for five.

On top of the regular picture symbols, Fishin' Frenzy Fortune Spins packs several specials that carry most of the excitement. Boat Scatters launch the free spins round, while Fish Scatters pay from all positions rather than sticking to paylines. During free spins, the Fisherman symbol becomes wild, pays up to 500 times your line bet for a full line, and collects every fish money symbol on the reels when he lands with them.

Bonus Features in Fishin' Frenzy Fortune Spins

The standard Free Spins feature in Fishin' Frenzy Fortune Spins behaves just how long-time fans would expect. Land 3, 4 or 5 Boat Scatters and you receive 10, 15 or 20 free spins. Fisherman Wilds now hit the reels, substituting for regular symbols and collecting the cash values attached to any fish symbols in view. Hit several Fishermen with stacked fish values and the balance can jump far quicker than in the base game.

Where Fishin' Frenzy Fortune Spins really tries to stand out is the Fortune Spins mode. Here you pay 20 times your current stake, which starts at £2, and the action shifts to four reel sets rather than one. Fisherman Wilds appear across all four, scooping up fish symbol values on their own reels, while special Golden Fisherman symbols grab every fish value from all four windows when they hit, which can be pretty tasty.

From my own play, the bonus rounds in Fishin' Frenzy Fortune Spins can feel streaky. The regular free spins can go by with barely a Fisherman in sight, then suddenly drop in a grid full of fish tags. Fortune Spins is even swingier; the cost per round is high, but when Golden Fishermen land with several decent fish values across the four sets you finally see where that 50,000 times bet headline comes from.

RTP, Volatility and Max Win in Fishin' Frenzy Fortune Spins

On paper the numbers for Fishin' Frenzy Fortune Spins look tempting and slightly frustrating at the same time. The base game runs at about 94.95 percent RTP, which is more than a full percentage point under what I like to see on a modern slot. Switch into Fortune Spins and the figure rises to around 96.13 percent, with medium volatility and a theoretical 50,000 times stake maximum win advertised.

Design and Theme of Fishin' Frenzy Fortune Spins

Visually, Fishin' Frenzy Fortune Spins keeps things very simple. You still get the blue sea backdrop, chunky card ranks and cartoon fish that defined the first game, but now the water looks darker and the soundtrack has a more upbeat feel. It will not impress anyone used to lavish animations, yet it runs smoothly on mobile and desktop. Personally I am here for the sound of coins, not fancy graphics.

My Verdict on Fishin' Frenzy Fortune Spins

For me, Fishin' Frenzy Fortune Spins sits as a thoroughly average entry in the wider series. The Fortune Spins mode with four reel sets is fun and can throw up exciting screens, but it does not completely make up for the weak base RTP and fairly shallow gameplay loop. If you already enjoy the fishing theme and old-school mechanics it will feel like a natural extension rather than something fresh.

I usually fire up Fishin' Frenzy Fortune Spins when I fancy a straightforward session with the option to crank up the risk for a few Fortune Spins bursts. Low stake, low volatility players may not enjoy the swings or the below average base RTP, while bonus hunters and fans of the original fishing slot will probably get the most out of it. Just treat the 50,000 times win headline as optimistic marketing.
