Originally developed as a cabinet game by Reel Time Gaming, Blueprint Gaming decided to take the reins and bring Fishin’ Frenzy to our computer screens in 2014.
With traditional mechanics, pared back graphics, and the beloved fishing theme, this was a move that had to be managed perfectly to prevent this slot from becoming, dare I say it, boring?!
Thankfully, Blueprint Gaming are masters of perfection. They tweaked this fun fishing slot to the nth degree, creating a game that offers:
- Features players can immediately understand.
- Clear bonus triggers.
- A feeling of instant familiarity.
Since then, the Blueprint team has followed up this success with in excess of 20 games, spanning dozens of different mechanics and even venturing into bingo and scratchcards. As with any series of this size there are some real standouts, but surprisingly, very few flops!
Series Standouts
- Fishin’ Frenzy Megaways: This one won the Which Bingo Best Slot Award for 2025 and for good reason! This slot brought the same traditional, laid-back vibes as Fishin’ Frenzy but with the clever addition of the Megaways mechanic. Instead of going for Megaways chaos, Blueprint kept it simple with a straightforward bonus round only, to let the Megaways mechanic shine.
- Fishin’ Frenzy All Stars: If you’re an all around Blueprint Gaming fan then Fishin’ Frenzy All Stars has got your name written all over it. The base game is the classic Fishin’ Frenzy experience, but you get a taste of titles like Eye of Horus for the bonus round. Oh and a 50,000x max win too…
Fishin’ Flops
In a series of this size, it’s a miracle there haven’t been more games that have failed to meet the mark.
- Fishin’ Frenzy Big Bubble Bonanza: If you enjoy jackpot slots then this Fishin’ Frenzy release from 2024 might not be a flop for you. But, the 94.11% RTP is a little low, even for a jackpot game. There’s also a prize cap of 50,000x the bet that feels a bit cheeky when you’re already paying for massive prize potential with that reduced RTP.
Meet the Developer
Few developers have such a long and varied pedigree as Blueprint Gaming. They’re at the forefront of physical slot games for the UK and their online operation is massive. With the backing of the Merkur Group, this is a studio that can afford to invest seriously in every new release.
Its roots in betting shops and pubs are definitely reflected in the way that Blueprint tackles online slots. In a noisy or distracting environment, making games that are eye-catching but easy to understand is key. As such, most Blueprint Gaming slots share a few of the same hallmarks:
- One flagship mechanic that the whole game revolves around
- Laid-back base games with familiar, but rewarding bonus rounds
- Brands, not features, that do the heavy lifting
Blueprint Gaming Awards and Accolades
Blueprint Gaming has been in business since 2001, so it’s had plenty of time to perfect its offering and reel in some rewards. Below are a couple of recent wins that show Blueprint lands with not just players, but industry experts too:
- Which Bingo Best Slot Award for 2025 (Fishin’ Frenzy Megaways)
- Game of the Year Award at the Gaming Intelligence Awards 2019 (The Goonies)
Enjoy Fishin’ Frenzy? Try These Slots
Fishin’ Frenzy has plenty of fans, and for good reason. Whether you’re here for the fishing theme, the single mechanics that are allowed to shine, or the potential of a big max win, the following slot series might be ones you want to try.
- Big Bass Bonanza: If you’re here for the fishing theme and simple but satisfying bonus structure, then the Big Bass Bonanza series is the obvious next stop. Like Fishin’ Frenzy, it centres around a free spins round where fisherman symbols collect cash values. However, it’s a bit more chaotic, it’s louder, more modern, and some of the newer iterations stack mechanics more heavily.
- Fluffy Favourites: Like the simplicity but fancy a change of theme? At first glance, Fluffy Favourites doesn’t look much like Fishin’ Frenzy – cuddly toys instead of fish? But, the ‘DNA’ is surprisingly similar. While Fluffy Favourites didn’t start life as a physical slot machine, it has the feel of one. It’s another series built around instant familiarity and easy-to-follow mechanics. If you like Fishin’ Frenzy for its simplicity and nostalgia, Fluffy Favourites could be a fun change of theme, while sticking at a similar pace.
