Fishin’ Frenzy The Big Catch 3 (Blueprint Gaming) – Review & Demo Play

Fishin’ Frenzy The Big Catch 3 - Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

I got the calm, easy-going look that suits the underwater theme. The backdrop shows deep blue water with the surface glinting above, so it feels like I’m under the sea. There’s no background music, just the familiar reel clicks and win pings, which gives the base game an old-school slot machine feel. If you’ve spent time with other Fishin’ Frenzy titles, nothing here will shock you, and that’s fine if you want a simple, relaxing session between bonuses.

Fishin’ Frenzy The Big Catch 3 RTP & Volatility

Volatility sits in the mid to high pocket, so you can expect quiet spells with punchy bursts when features line up. The stated RTP is 95%, with some versions floating around the 95-96% range, depending on where you play. The maximum win caps at 10,000x stake, which is very much the headline. Stakes start at 10p and run up to around £100 a spin, so it suits low rollers and the more adventurous without straying into silly territory.

How to Win in Fishin’ Frenzy The Big Catch 3

Fishin’ Frenzy The Big Catch 3 runs on 5 reels, 3 rows, and 10 paylines. Low pays are the 10-A royals, with five in a row giving around 5x to 10x your bet. High pays fit the theme: lifebuoy, tackle box, fishing rod, and the seagull, topping out at 200x for five. The fisherman is the wild, standing in for any symbol except the scatter. There’s no base game multiplier, so line wins do the heavy lifting between features.

The blue fish are cash symbols tied to values that get scooped during features. In free spins, the fisherman doubles up as a collector and pulls in every fish value on screen when he lands. Money fish do not pay on their own in the base, so you’re leaning on features to make them count. Worms have their own twist, pairing with fish to pay, and can nab prizes before the fisherman even turns up.

Bonus Free Spins in Fishin’ Frenzy The Big Catch 3

Three scatters kick off the free spins. Before the round starts, you can pick random upgrades that stay active. You keep picking until Start Free Games appears or you’ve taken five upgrades. The pool includes Net Gains, Golden Fish+, Worms+, Fish+, a trail advance, Fisherman+, Super+, a Respin that re-spins non-cash symbols, and Games+ for extra spins. It’s a simple pre-bonus picker that shapes the round and sets whether you’re chasing more fish, more collectors, or quicker progress.

Inside the bonus, every fisherman that lands collects all visible fish prizes. Hit four fishermen and you move along the Fisherman Trail, adding more spins and raising fish values as the Big Catch mechanic upgrades. Golden Fishermen can appear via modifiers and collect up to five times, which is where the round can jump. You’re watching the meter, hoping for steady collector hits, and looking for those upgraded fish that can spike some serious payouts.

In play, this feels like classic Fishin’ Frenzy with a bit more agency. Sometimes you’ll snag a great set of modifiers and the round sings; other times Start Free Games pops early and you make do. Either way, the structure is clear, the upgrades matter, and when the trail moves at a decent clip, the balance can swing fast. It’s not new territory, but it does tidy up the format and keep me engaged.

Worm Symbols in Fishin’ Frenzy The Big Catch 3

Worm symbols act as collectors in their own right. When a worm lands, it grabs the cash values on any fish in view straight away, before a fisherman has the chance to collect. Worms can also form wins when they appear together with fish, which helps keep some value flowing even when the fisherman is hiding. It’s a neat little side path that fits the theme and adds an extra way to snag cash values during both the base and the bonus.

Fishin’ Frenzy Feature in Fishin’ Frenzy The Big Catch 3

Whenever a Fish or Worm lands, it feeds a fish net above the reels. At random, that net springs to life and you pick a fish to reveal a prize. Possible outcomes include 10, 15, or 20 free games, Cash Collect to gather all cash symbols in view, Cash Streak that re-spins only cash symbols then totals them, or Extra Fish that drops more fish or worms to force a cash win. It’s a tidy, quick picker that breaks up the wait.

This event lifts the base game and throws in the odd surprise payout. I’ve had the net fire back-to-back, and I’ve had dry spells, which fits the volatility tag. If your casino offers the Power Play option, you can switch it on to raise your chance of triggering the bonus, usually at a higher stake. Used sparingly, it nudges the pace without rewriting the reel maths, which suits how I like to hunt for features.

Fishin’ Frenzy The Big Catch 3 Overview - Summary

I’ve played a lot of Fishin’ Frenzy, and this sits comfortably in the line-up. If you’ve played one, you’ll know the loop, but The Big Catch 3 feels more polished and packed than some. The random net in the base, the pre-bonus upgrades, and the Big Catch trail bring enough spice, and the 10,000x ceiling keeps the chase relevant. I dipped into Power Play when I wanted to push for features, then switched back once I’d had a bite.

For me, Fishin’ Frenzy The Big Catch 3 works when I want simple spins, clear wins, and a bonus that can grow. The volatility sits in that mid to high lane, the 95% RTP is honest, and the art stays out of the way. Fans of the series will feel right at home, and anyone new will pick it up in seconds. I’d sample the demo, see how the modifiers land, then decide if it earns a spot in your rotation.
