Fishin' Frenzy The Big Match: Shoot Underwater Gaols With Fish For Free Spins and Cash Prizes

Instead of searching for Atlantis, how about a football match in an underwater stadium? Blueprint Gaming set me up for exactly that in Fishin' Frenzy The Big Match, a 5-reel, 3-row slot with 10 paylines where soccer balls hang off fishing rods and pelicans wear scarves.

The first 15 or so spins felt like a warm-up before a match that never kicked off. Tackle boxes, life rings, and the occasional pelican kept my balance between 2x and 5x my bet. Meanwhile, fish with price tags kept landing and sliding into a net above the reels, quietly building up for something, but never actually going somewhere concrete.

That net can randomly pop open on any spin and let you pick a fish for a modifier, from instant free games to a cash streak or extra fish on the reels. Mine stayed shut the whole session, so three boat scatters had to step in and hand me 10 free games instead.

The fisherman finally joined the match, and on his first appearance, he reeled in two fish for a quick 7x return. Then the pitch went quiet again until a can of worms symbol showed up, accumulated three fish values at once, and the fisherman collected the whole pile. Every time he lands during free spins, he scoops the value of every fish in view.

Four fishermen collected in one round trigger The Big Match, and that is where things get interesting. Your lowest fish upgrades to the next paying tier, you get 5 extra spins, and values climb from 2x all the way to 50x. Fish can upgrade up to three times. I squeezed out one upgrade before the round wrapped at 52x my bet.

A Power Play mode strips the reels to fish, fisherman, and bonus symbols only, at up to 5x your stake. The net even gets an exclusive modifier that adds fishermen directly to the reels.

Overall, the stadium looked great, but the match ended in a draw. Half a star above average, and that is me being generous.
