Fishin' Frenzy Even Bigger Fish Slot by Blueprint Gaming

The original Even Bigger Fish sits between the classic Fishin' Frenzy formula and the louder spin-offs that followed it (the Rapid Fire Jackpots version and the Megaways third entry). The frame is familiar: the fisherman from the series sits in his boat against an ocean backdrop, royals share the grid with lures, tackle boxes, lifebuoys and the captain's hat, and the cash fish carry printed values like 1.50, 2.50, 9.00 right on the symbol tags.

What separates this entry from its sequels is where the collector lives. The Reel 'Em In Collect scatter only lands on reel 6. That single restriction shapes the whole base game. Cash symbols rain across reels 1 through 6 every spin, but they sit there idle until a Collect lands on the right edge. When it does, the fisherman expands to fill the entire sixth reel and sweeps every cash value currently visible. No reel 1 collector exists in this version, so the cash pool builds up and waits for that right-side trigger. The sequels later added a second collector to reel 1, which is the simplest way to tell the originals apart.

Each Collect win unlocks one of five upgrades on a progression meter, and the meter does not reset between spins. The upgrades stay active in the base game and carry into free spins, and once all five tiers are filled they stay permanent. Higher tiers introduce stronger collectors, so a long base-game session quietly increases what the bonus is capable of before you ever trigger it.

Three bonus scatters award 10 free spins. Four scatters add a 20x bet prize, five add 100x, six add 500x. During the round any Collect scatters you already unlocked stay active, and landing new Collects extends the round and seeds Cash Collect multipliers. The signature variant, The Big Splash Free Spins, lets you pick fish at the start to reveal which upgrades are active for the round, so a clean Big Splash entry can feel very different from a standard one even at the same trigger count.

Top end is 10,000x. That is the ceiling for the whole Even Bigger Fish line, with the math living in the cash totals the fisherman scoops up rather than in payline hits on the royals.
