Fishin’ Frenzy Even Bigger Fish 3 Megaways Rapid Fire Slot Review

You know the vibe. Blue waters. Fishing rods. Seagulls somewhere out of frame. Blueprint sticks to its guns here: the visuals are bright, cartoonish, and quintessentially “Fishin’ Frenzy.”

The lower-paying symbols are 10, J, Q, K, and A, while the premium symbols include the tackle box, the lifebuoy, the fishing rod, the pelican, and of course, the fish themselves.

The Fisherman is the Wild and the Collector. He only appears during the free spins feature, where he scoops up all fish cash prizes on screen. Fish can carry cash values ranging from 2x to 5,000x your stake, and every time the fisherman appears, he collects them all.

As for audio, the soundtrack hums along with the same mix of cheerful reels and occasional splashes. When the Rapid Fire feature triggers, the serene mood gives way to that adrenaline-pumping jackpot spin sound Blueprint loves to use.

It is the sound of your heart rate jumping 20 beats per minute.

If you thought the previous Fishin’ Frenzy games had depth, this one is practically an ocean. The base structure still revolves around Cash Collects, but now you have an entire Trail Unlock system where each fisherman you land pushes the game further.

Cash Collect

At the start, the fisherman (the Collect symbol) is active only on reels 1 and 6. When fish cash symbols land anywhere on the grid, the fisherman expands to cover his reel and collects the cash values in view. Each collected fish adds its total straight to your balance.

Trail Unlocks

Every fisherman you land pushes you along a progress bar called the Trail. This trail unlocks new bonus features one by one. Once a feature is unlocked, it stays active for the rest of the session.

Here is how the trail progresses:

• Collect (Base): Starts active by default. Fishermen on reels 1 and 6 collect all visible cash symbols.
• Win Streak Collect: Unlocks after collecting 2 fishermen. All fish lock in position, and the reels respin until no new fish appear.
• Big Catch Net: Unlocks after 4 fishermen. Any uncollected fish add to a Net Bank, which can later trigger a guaranteed win feature.
• Win Wave Collect: Unlocks after 6 fishermen. The fisherman collects all visible fish before the rest of the symbols cascade down for potential follow-up wins.
• Bigger Bonus: Unlocks after 9 fishermen. Upgrades the main bonus round with stronger modifiers.
• Win Stepper Collect: Unlocks after 12 fishermen. Fish symbols step up or down to fill an entire reel with cash symbols.
• Prize Wheel: Unlocks after 16 fishermen. A new Prize Wheel symbol is added; when collected, it spins for a mystery win or bonus trigger.
• Super Spins: Unlocks after 20 fishermen. The final and most valuable stage, granting access to the Super Spins bonus.

Blueprint clearly does not want you to feel sad if you are not a high-level VIP in your casino. They have a loyalty program for you within their game per session.

Big Catch Net

Once active, any uncollected fish values get stored in the Big Catch Net. When it triggers, you pick a fish to reveal a guaranteed prize, which could be any of the following:

• Bonus Boost: Adds extra bonus symbols to the reels, guaranteeing at least three triggers.
• Win Spin: Replaces random icons with high-value or Wild symbols for a guaranteed win.
• Super Collect: Collects every fish on screen simultaneously.
• Cash Collect: Forces a fisherman onto reel 1, 6, or both for an instant cash collect.
• Prize Wheel: Spins for a fixed cash prize, a mystery win, or a direct bonus trigger.
• Bonus Spins: Awards up to five extra spins during active bonus rounds.
• Super Spins: Awards up to two additional Super Spins (if you’re already in that mode).

The Big Catch Net might sound like a side perk, but it is one of the most rewarding fallback systems Blueprint has ever baked into a Fishin’ Frenzy slot.

Bonus Trigger

Land three or more Boat Scatters anywhere on the reels to trigger 10 Free Spins. Additional scatters sweeten the deal:

• 4 scatters: 20x stake + 10 Bonus Spins
• 5 scatters: 100x stake + 10 Bonus Spins
• 6 scatters: 500x stake + 10 Bonus Spins

If you have already unlocked Bigger Bonus or Super Spins, you can pick which version you want when the round starts.

Bonus Spins

The standard Bonus Spins round begins with 10 spins, and any unlocked features (from the Trail) stay active throughout. When fishermen appear, they collect all visible cash values. Collecting fishermen during the round increases multipliers and adds extra spins:

• 3 fishermen: +5 spins and 2x multiplier
• 6 fishermen: +5 spins and 3x multiplier
• 9 fishermen: +5 spins and 5x multiplier
• 12 fishermen: +5 spins and 10x multiplier

This means the longer you stay in the bonus, the heavier the payouts become, especially once those later features (Win Streak or Win Wave) start chaining.

Bigger Bonus Spins

Once unlocked, this is where the game flexes. You will still trigger it with three or more scatters, but before the spins start, you pick a fish to reveal up to five upgrades. Possible bonuses include:

• +Spins: Up to 5 extra spins
• Fish Upgrade: Boosts the minimum fish values
• Megaways Upgrade: Raises the minimum Megaways count per spin
• Trail Boost: Increases the Trail multipliers up to x15
• Next Level: Starts the trail from x2 on all collects
• Two-Way Pays: Activates both left-to-right and right-to-left paylines
• +Fish / +Collect / +Wild / +Boat / +Golden Fish: Adds extra versions of their respective symbols on the reels

Once active, any Collect symbol that lands awards the visible cash symbols, adds progress to the Trail, and may trigger retriggers or multipliers. The round continues until all spins are used, and everything you have caught is totalled up.

Super Spins

Unlocked at the very end of the Trail, Super Spins strip away all standard symbols, leaving only fish, prize wheels, and fishermen. It starts with 10 spins, but you can earn more by collecting symbols:

• 11 symbols: +5 spins and 2x multiplier
• 22 symbols: +4 spins and 3x multiplier
• 33 symbols: +3 spins and 5x multiplier
• 44 symbols: +2 spins and 10x multiplier

Every milestone resets the Trail but keeps the active multipliers rolling, meaning you can rack up wild totals by the time the sea settles.

At this point, Blueprint could probably make a Fishin’ Frenzy game about space fishing, and I would still play it. The formula just works. Even Bigger Fish 3 Megaways Rapid Fire nails the pacing, layers familiar gameplay with dynamic jackpot triggers, and adds a sprinkle of chaos through Megaways variability.

This one is a turbocharged sequel that knows what its audience wants: frequent excitement, good maths, and that hit of nostalgia every time the fisherman smiles.

It might not hook every player, but fans of the franchise will find plenty to love. It is bigger, faster, and occasionally explosive.

Personally, I found this one refreshingly balanced. The base game is smooth, the jackpots keep you alert, and the free spins deliver classic satisfaction with modern flair. Of course, not the wildest fishing game out there, but it is Blueprint doing what it does best. And doing it confidently.
