Fishin' Frenzy after dark: the free games sequence, timed out
Rather than tell you it is exciting, this review lays the mechanics out in order: what the boats trigger, what the fisherman does once he turns up, and where the numbers top out. Read it once and you will know the feature better than most people who have already spun it.
The numbers that matter
Free games, in sequence
1. Boats land
Three, four or five BOAT scatters anywhere in view award 10, 15 or 20 free games respectively.
2. All ten lines switch on
Free games always play across the full 10 lines, whatever number was selected on the trigger spin, at the same bet that won them.
3. The fisherman turns up
MAN, the fisherman wild, is exclusive to this stage. He substitutes for everything except the BOAT scatter and, each time he lands in view, collects the value from every fish symbol also on screen that spin.
4. No second trigger
Free games cannot be retriggered whilst the feature is running, and no further stake is taken for the spins already awarded.
5. Feature closes out
Once the awarded spins are used up, accumulated winnings are credited and normal base game play resumes.
Fish values on screen
Every fish tag carries one of these values, ready for the fisherman to collect.
Fisherman catch, by count
The fisherman also has his own scatter-style value during the feature.
Paytable, drawn to scale
The pelican stands alone at the top with a payout of 400,000 coins, the best any regular symbol delivers in Fishin' Frenzy, and the bars underneath show how the rest stack up against it.

Stakes stretch from 100 to 200,000 (or currency equivalent) across your chosen lines. Whilst the ceiling of x250,000 is rare, the free games sequence above is where it realistically gets built.
