Spin Fishin' Frenzy — catch the big prizes
Real Time Gaming's 5-reel, 3-row aquatic slot where the fisherman wild appears exclusively during free spins, activated by scatter boats, and gathers every fish value visible on the reels.
Round breakdown, phase by phase
Pick your paylines and start spinning
Select anywhere from 1 to 10 active lines on the 5x3 layout before each base-game turn, with total wagers ranging from 100 to 200,000 (or local currency) after line selection and per-line bet are finalised.
Look out for scatter boats
Three, four or five BOAT scatters appearing anywhere award 10, 15 or 20 free spins respectively, maintaining whichever payline count you had chosen during regular play.
All 10 lines activate in free spins
When the bonus starts, every payline becomes live no matter your earlier choice, and no additional stake is charged for each of the awarded spins.
Fisherman wild makes his entrance
The MAN symbol, representing the fisherman, exists solely within free spins. He acts as a substitute for all symbols bar the BOAT scatter and can form winning lines independently.
He gathers all fish prizes visible
Whenever a fisherman appears in a free spin, he instantly claims the cash value attached to every fish symbol showing anywhere on the grid, not limited to his own reel position.
Single sequence, no bonus extension
The free spins feature cannot be re-activated mid-round, meaning the full allocation of 10, 15 or 20 spins plays through before returning to standard reels with accumulated wins capped at 250,000, or x250,000 the total wager.
Symbol values across the reels
Each payline awards only its top-paying match, reading left to right from the first reel across consecutive positions, with totals from different active lines summed for the spin's final payout.

Fishin' Frenzy, RTG's aquatic bonus slot with wild collector
Fishin' Frenzy operates on a classic 5-reel, 3-row structure offering 1 to 10 adjustable paylines, letting you decide how many win paths to cover with each turn. Real Time Gaming designed everything around one central interaction: the fisherman wild serves no purpose during standard spins. He's locked to the bonus phase, arriving only after scatter boats have awarded free games, and this separation defines how the feature works.
Landing three, four or five boat scatters delivers 10, 15 or 20 free spins, and once inside, all 10 lines remain active regardless of your previous setting, with no further deduction from your balance for the spins you've received. Fish symbols, each carrying a value between 20 and 500, lie dormant until a fisherman shows up. His arrival triggers an immediate collection of every fish prize currently displayed, wherever they sit across the grid, turning a reel packed with high-value fish into a potentially defining moment for the entire round. If several fishermen land together in one spin, they also award their own combined payout, starting at 10 for two and reaching 5,000 for a full set of five.
Bonus rounds cannot be extended once started, so your allocated 10, 15 or 20 spins play out in full before tallied winnings join your balance and regular reels resume. Outside the feature, line wins follow familiar logic: matching symbols pay from the leftmost reel across adjoining positions, only the strongest combination on a given line is counted, and payouts from separate winning lines are combined. Stakes span 100 to 200,000 (or local currency), with a maximum single payout of 250,000, equalling x250,000 the placed bet. The theoretical return sits at 96.12%, measured across extended play rather than individual rounds.
