Fishin’ Frenzy Lure ‘Em In Demo

Testing the Demo

A single boat landed on the middle reel on spin 15, which normally wouldn’t be enough, and the free games started anyway. The green tackle box burst open to switch on Take the Bait, and by the fourth game a fisherman had reeled in a £50 fish at a £1 stake. Our session ended before the round did, which means its final total is missing here. What follows comes from that round, our base-game play and the help screens inside the demo.

Three closed tackle boxes sit on top of the reels in the base game, blue, red and green, with four jackpot values stacked on the right. Fish carry dim grey price tags until the free games start. Now and then a coloured bonus symbol sends a little bait fish flying up into the box of the same colour.

There’s a lot more on screen than in the 2017 original, but the help pages are easy to follow, with big symbol tiles and every prize printed in pounds at your current stake.

RTP and Max Win

The version our hub loads lists an RTP of 94%, and the same 94% applies with Express Bet switched on. The game’s name in the corner of the screen also ends in 94. Check the help page at your chosen site before you play for real, in case it runs a different version.

Top payout is 10,000x the base bet. The help pages add that a round stops immediately if it reaches that figure. The game doesn’t rate volatility; only that feature frequency and volatility can vary with the number of plays.

Ten fixed lines cross a five-reel, three-row layout, and the stakes range from 10p to £20, with £1 as the default. British players can’t go past £5 a spin on an online slot, or £2 if they’re under 25, so the top two steps are off the table here.

Lure ‘Em In Paytable

Prizes below are for a line at the £1 default stake, so the pound figure and the stake multiple are the same number.

Fish of any size pay together on a line, as in the original. The spin that set off our bonus also paid 50p for three Js running diagonally down from the top left, exactly the table’s figure.

Free Games and Tackle Boxes

Three or more boat scatters bring 10 free games, rising to 15 for four boats and 20 for five. The game can also start the bonus at random from one or two boats, always for 10 games, and that’s how ours arrived. At least one tackle box opens with every trigger, and each one adds its own enhancement.

• Blue (Cast and Catch) turns every wild into a respin. Wilds and cash fish stay put while the rest spins again, until nothing new lands.
• Red (Golden Catch) adds a golden fisherman who collects every fish in view and multiplies the total. The multipliers start at x2 to x5, can climb in the base game, and are fixed when the bonus begins.
• Green (Take the Bait) adds a can of worms that soaks up every cash value in view before a fisherman collects it.

Open one box for Free Games; two for Super Free Games; and all three for Mega Free Games. A trail on the left counts fishermen. Every fourth one adds five games and upgrades the smallest fish values, first to 10x and 15x, then to 20x and 25x, and finally to 50x after twelve. Fish values run from 2x to 50x the stake, and a golden fish can carry 20x, 50x, 100x, or 1,000x, matching the Mini, Minor, Major, and Mega figures shown at £1.

After the trigger, the boat sails off into a sunset, bubbles and cartoon fish sweep across the reels, and a wooden sign lays out the round. That took around half a minute before the game waited for us to press spin. The sky stays orange and purple throughout the free games, and the fish tags change from grey to cream.

The first three games added nothing, and the win counter stayed on the 50p from the trigger spin. Game four was the one that counted, a lone fisherman on reel four facing a 50x fish on reel five. That’s the most valuable standard fish in the game, and his tag read £50 on landing.

That was the only bonus in roughly 200 base spins at £1, spread across a string of short sessions, so spin 15 was lucky. Express Bet, a toggle on the left of the reels, raises your bonus chance for half your stake, so £1 becomes £1.50. We gave it about 25 spins, and nothing landed. This build has no option to buy the feature.

Other Fishin’ Frenzy Games

Lure ‘Em In borrows pieces from older games in the series. Blueprint’s own pages show where each came from.

• Fishin’ Frenzy, the 2017 original, has 10 lines and plain free games where every fisherman collects every fish. It has no tackle boxes, no trail and no jackpot fish, and Blueprint’s top version pays 96.12%. Our demo page for it is on the way.
• Fishin’ Frenzy The Big Catch (May 2021) brought in the trail of four fishermen that upgrades the smallest fish and adds five spins. Collect enough, and every fish becomes worth 50x the bet. Its RTP options are 95.32% and 92% at Blueprint.
• Fishin’ Frenzy Even Bigger Catch (February 2023) also introduced a golden fisherman, but his catch opens a pick that reveals a collect multiplier of up to x10. The maximum win is 10,000x, the same ceiling as here, and the RTP is 93% or 95%.

If you’d rather fish with Pragmatic Play, our Big Bass Splash page covers a game that runs on the same fisherman-collects idea with a retrigger ladder.
