Fishin’ Frenzy: The Big Splash Slot Review

The April 2023 Fishin' Frenzy release from Blueprint Gaming adds a Pick A Fish upgrade before the free spins and a fisherman trail with multipliers up to 10x.

Fishin’ Frenzy: The Big Splash Slot Overview

Even the card royals have fish tails in Fishin' Frenzy: The Big Splash. Blueprint Gaming kept the series' look, pelican and boat scatter included. The changes are all inside the free spins: a Pick A Fish screen gives you an upgrade, and each fisherman you land moves you along a trail of extra spins and multipliers. The top prize is 4,000x your stake.

The game came out on 27 April 2023 on a 5x3 grid with 10 paylines. Blueprint rates the volatility 3 out of 5 and ships two RTP versions, 95.00% and 93.00%.

Each fisherman you land in the free spins moves you along the trail, and that trail, with its extra picks and multipliers up to 10x, is the best thing Blueprint added. The base game is unchanged. Apart from a pelican that pays from two, it has no features of its own. Series fans after more to chase in the free spins will find it. Our complaint is the RTP: 95.00% at best, with a lower 93.00% setting at some casinos. Players who put return first should look up their casino's version.

How To Play Fishin’ Frenzy: The Big Splash Slot

Fishin' Frenzy: The Big Splash base game at a £5 stake, with boat Scatters and fish cash tags — Base game

Fishin Frenzy Big Splash pelican win — Two pelicans pay on a line

Grid	Paylines	Min Bet	Max Bet (UK)
5x3	10 fixed	£0.10	£5.00

Setting the line

Stakes start at £0.10 a spin. Blueprint lists £100 as the top bet, but UK rules cap each spin at £5, or £2 if you are 18 to 24. All 10 paylines play on every spin, and a win needs three or more matching symbols from the leftmost reel. The pelican breaks that rule: two of them on a line pay.

The boat is the scatter, and three or more anywhere start the free spins. The fisherman wild only shows up inside that round, where he stands in for the paying symbols and collects the cash on every fish in view.

Fishin’ Frenzy: The Big Splash Slot Paytable & Symbols

Values are multiples of your total stake. The pelican and the fisherman share the top row at 200x for five, and both pay 0.5x for two. Since the fisherman only lands in the free spins, the pelican is the one to watch in the base game. Outside the bonus the fish pay as ordinary symbols, up to 20x for five.

Fishin’ Frenzy: The Big Splash Slot Paylines

Each of the 10 fixed lines starts on the leftmost reel, and the game numbers them down both sides of the grid. The diagram below traces all ten.

Pick A Fish screen before the Fishin' Frenzy: The Big Splash free spins — Pick-A-Fish screen

Fishin' Frenzy: The Big Splash free spins under a sunset sky with the fisherman trail above the reels — Free Spins Bonus

Boats bring the free spins

Three, four or five boats award 10, 15 or 20 free spins. During the round, fish carry cash values of 2x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x or 50x your stake, and each fisherman who lands collects all of them.

Pick A Fish

Before the first spin you pick one fish from a shoal, and it reveals an upgrade. Four of the options put cash tags on a premium symbol (the tackle box, the life ring, the rod or the pelican), so the fisherman collects those too. The others add fish, add fishermen, make each collection pay more than once, re-spin the reels when a fisherman and a cash symbol land together, or award extra games.

The Big Splash and Catch of the Day

Every fisherman also moves you along a trail above the reels. At 2, 6 and 10 fishermen you get another pick. At 4, 8 and 12 you get 10 more spins, and his collections pick up a 2x multiplier, then 3x, then 10x.

Bonus buy

Outside the UK, players can buy their way into the free spins for 100x the stake, with three, four or five scatters dropped at random. It is not available at UK-licensed casinos.

Our Verdict Count the fishermen. The twelfth sets every catch after it at ten times its value, and on the way there you collect three extra picks and 30 more spins. If they stay away, you keep the one Pick A Fish upgrade you chose at the start.

Fishin’ Frenzy: The Big Splash Slot RTP & Volatility

RTP	Variable RTP	Volatility	Max Win
95.00%	Yes	MED (3 out of 5)	4,000x stake

There are two versions, 95.00% and 93.00%, and the casino picks which one you get. Even the higher setting sits below the 96.00% median of the 392 slot reviews we sampled (October 2026). On a £1 stake, the gap between the two works out at 2p a spin on average over the long run, so check the game rules at your casino first.

Our Verdict Avoid the 93.00% version where you can. The better 95.00% build already sits a point below the median of our sample. The lower one loses two more. Your casino can tell you which one it runs, and so can the game rules.

Graphics

The base game sits under a clear blue sky over open water, with the paylines numbered down both sides of the grid and each fish carrying its value on a small paper tag. When the free spins start, the sky turns to an orange sunset and the water goes purple, so you know which mode you are in at a glance. The symbols and sound effects come from the earlier Fishin' Frenzy games, so players who know the series will recognise most of what they see and hear.

Fishin Frenzy Big Splash fish cash tags — Fish carry their cash values on tags

Our Verdict Series regulars know this art already. We are glad of the sunset that takes over the sky when the free spins start, and the trail along the top keeps your progress in plain view. Anyone hoping for a new look will find little else.
