An entry in the reel ledger
Fishin' Frenzy, recorded line by line
RTG built Fishin' Frenzy with transparent mechanics—fixed RTP, scatters that count whole symbols only, and a wild that sits dormant until free spins trigger, then suddenly activates every fish symbol on screen. The rules stay consistent, no hidden variables, just straightforward probability you can actually track.

The standing figures
Five reels, three rows, and a line count of your choosing on the base game — anywhere from 1 up to 10. The stake per spin is set between 100 and 200,000 (or currency equivalent), and the ceiling on any single win is fixed at 250,000, or x250,000 the total bet.

The trigger, in sequence
The boat scatter is the only symbol on these reels that carries no cash value of its own — it exists purely to open the door. Here is that sequence as it's recorded, from a bare three boats to the full five.
-
Three boats land — 10 free games openedThe minimum trigger. Boats can land anywhere on the grid; they don't need to sit on an active line to count.
-
Four boats land — 15 free games openedOne extra boat, five extra spins. The count is exact, with nothing awarded for a fourth boat landing off-screen.
-
Five boats land — 20 free games openedThe full trigger, and the longest run of free games this reel set offers in one go.
-
During free games — the fisherman wild activatesHe was absent for the whole base game. Now he substitutes for everything except the boat, and every time he lands he collects the value tagged to every fish currently in view.
-
Feature ends — no retrigger, no second stakeA fresh set of boats during the free games does not extend the round. The stake is not taken again; the bet that won the feature carries it through.
What the fisherman catches
Two ledgers matter here: what the fisherman himself is worth by count, and what he pulls from the fish tags scattered across the screen every time he lands.
Fisherman count, recorded value
| Ln. | Fishermen in view | Value |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | 10 |
| 2 | 3 | 100 |
| 3 | 4 | 500 |
| 4 | 5 | 5,000 |
Fish tag values, scaled against the highest tag
Every fisherman on screen during a free spin reads all of these tags at once — a screen holding a 500 tag and a 250 tag pays both the moment he lands, not one or the other.
The base paytable, entered in full
Outside the feature, five-of-a-kind combinations sit at the top of what this reel set pays. The catch of the day is the pelican; the card royals close the ledger at the bottom.
Five of a kind, recorded values
| Ln. | Symbol | Value |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Pelican | 400,000 |
| 2 | Fishing rod | 200,000 |
| 3 | Life preserver | 100,000 |
| 4 | Tackle box | 100,000 |
| 5 | Card royals (A K Q J 10) | 20,000 |
One closing rule for the ledger: winning symbols are read left to right, starting from the far-left reel, on consecutive reels only. Each line pays its single highest combination, and the wins from every active line are simply added together.
