Introduction to Fishin' Frenzy Lure 'Em In Some More
Fishin' Frenzy Lure 'Em In Some More is a casino slot from Blueprint Gaming that takes us out fishing with an old classic. Blueprint Gaming released the original Fishin’ Frenzy in 2017, which has spawned many sequels and spin-offs, even prompting other studios to dive deep into fishing-themed titles, such as Reel Kingdoms Big Bass Bonanza. However, we’re here today to discuss the Fishin’ Frenzy series, and this specific release is a bit unique in that it is nearly identical to Fishin' Frenzy Lure 'Em In, just with a handful of changes to a few bonuses. However, even with these changes, the game looks and plays nearly the same, meaning if you’ve played the predecessor, you’ve probably experienced this title as well. These changes are mainly focused on the 3 Pot bonuses for the titular Lure ‘Em In bonus game, with the new bonuses granting additional paylines and Special Symbols for more prizes. Grab your fishing rod and join us as we explore what the ocean has to offer, with a max win of 10,000X the bet.
Blueprint Gaming releases another installment in the Fishin’ Frenzy series, however, this time, it barely delivers on anything new.
Theme, Gameplay, & Payouts
Fishin' Frenzy Lure 'Em In Some More is a video slot from Blueprint Gaming with 5 Reels, 3 Rows, and 10 / 30 paylines. You can choose between making a Min.bet of 0.1 and a Max.bet of 20. Fishin' Frenzy Lure 'Em In Some More comes with a lower-than-average RTP of 94%, medium/high volatility, and a solid max win of 10,000X the bet.
Just like its many prequels since the 2017 original, Fishin' Frenzy Lure 'Em In Some More has the same setting, theme, visuals, and even symbols that we first saw nearly a decade ago. However, even though it’s quite old, the game doesn’t look all that bad, it just feels a bit unoriginal and uninnovative. You can play the game on most mobiles, desktops, and notepads.
The lower-paying symbols are 10, J, Q, K, and A. Creating a win with 5 of the same symbols will pay out 5X to 10X the bet. The higher-paying symbols are a tacklebox, a lifesaver, a reel, and a seagull. Landing a win with 5 of the same symbols pays out 50X to 200X the bet. There are also a plethora of Special Symbols, such as Wilds, Fish Cash Symbols, Colored Scatter Symbols, and various Free Spins-only symbols, but more on those in the next section.

What features are available in the slot Fishin' Frenzy Lure 'Em In Some More?
The features are Wild Symbols, Fish Cash Symbols, Lure ’Em In, Big Catch Trail, and Express Bet.
Wild Symbols
Wild Symbols help form winning combinations by being able to substitute for any symbol except Fish Cash and Scatter Symbols. During the Free Spins, the Wild Symbol becomes a Collect Symbol and will collect Fish Cash Prize Symbols in view.
Fish Cash Symbols
Fish Cash Prize Symbols come in varying forms in both the base game and Free Spins, but can only be collected by Fisherman and Can of Worm Symbols in the bonus game. The Fish Symbols come in 5 different sizes, with varying prizes for each size, ranging from 2X to 50X, and you can upgrade the size of Fish Cash Prize Symbols through the Big Catch Trail feature. There are also rare Golden Fish Symbols that can appear, offering a special payout range of 20X to 1,000X the bet.
Lure ‘Em In
The feature is triggered randomly when either 1 or 2 colored Scatter Symbols land on the reels, or is guaranteed to trigger if you land 3, 4, or 5 colored Scatter Symbols, starting with 10, 15, or 20 spins. During the feature, all Wilds now also become Collect Symbols and will collect each Fish Cash Prize Symbol in view. During the base game, landing colored Scatter Symbols can upgrade their respective Bonus Tackle Box. The bonus game will be played with one or more Enhancements, which correspond to the same colored triggering Scatter Symbol. The Color Enhancements are as follows:
Blue (Extra Lines) = Awards additional paylines, with each level increasing the number of paylines up to 15, 20, 25, and 30.
Red (Golden Catch) = A Golden Wild Symbol is added to the spins, which will accumulate all Cash Prize Symbols in view and award a Collect Multiplier ranging from 2X to 5X.
Green (Extra Bait) = Awards additional Special Symbols to the reels, with more increased by Tackle Box level, and at level 2 you’ll unlock the new Can of Worms Special Symbol, which will copy the Cash Prizes of all Cash Fish Symbols in view and collect them.
Big Catch Trail
The Big Catch Trail is a Progressive Trail active during the Lure Em In bonus game that increases the Fish Cash Symbol sizes and payouts after landing a certain number of Fisherman Symbols.
Level 1 = Awarded after landing 4 Fisherman Symbols, awarding +5 Spins and upgrading the standard Fish Cash prizes from 2X / 5X to 10X / 15X.
Level 2 = Awarded after landing 8 Fisherman Symbols, awarding +5 Spins and upgrading the standard Fish Cash prizes from 10X / 15X to 20X / 25X.
Level 3 = Awarded after landing 12 Fisherman Symbols, awarding +5 Spins and upgrading the standard Fish Cash prizes from 20X / 25X to 50X.
Ante Bet (Express Bet)
By turning on the Ante Bet, you increase your chances of triggering a bonus game, at the cost of increasing your current bet by 1.5X.
Final Thoughts on Fishin' Frenzy Lure 'Em In Some More
While the Fishin’ Frenzy series may have a loyal player base, as well as being one of Blueprint Gaming’s favorite series, we do think that it might start to overstay its welcome just a tad bit. This is especially so when the games are, at a glance, copies of each other, not even reskinning the titles with new themes, settings, or visuals. Because of this, Fishin' Frenzy Lure 'Em In Some More feels like quite a strange addition to the series, and we’re not quite sure what role it really serves. On the grander scope of things, Fishin' Frenzy Lure 'Em In Some More, just like the rest of the series, continues to use the original 2017 release visuals and theme, and we’ve barely seen any new thematic or visual changes ever since, even with the series being well over double digits in installments.
When it comes to gameplay, Fishin' Frenzy Lure 'Em In Some More falls into a lot of the same pitfalls that the original Fishin' Frenzy Lure 'Em In did, especially with its paytable and Fish Cash Symbols payouts, as they can be a bit deceptive. However, both ways of generating wins can still shine in the titular Lure ‘Em In bonus game, and arguably even more so now, as we’ve gotten a few changes to the 3 Pot bonuses. While we were a bit skeptical at first, the new Blue and Green bonuses actually make both paylines and Fish Cash payouts just a bit easier to hit. This is because the new bonuses come with additional paylines and extra Special Symbols, scaling it up with the new progressive Tier level system. However, we’re not really sure those changes warrant a new release, as while we could argue this is just an upgraded sequel, it still generally feels quite familiar compared to the game we played earlier in the year. At the end of the day, Fishin' Frenzy Lure 'Em In Some More is a strange release because of its copy-pasted visuals, but it did surprise us with a few minor tweaks, however, it still ends up feeling like a rather dated experience, and one we’ve played many times before.
Fishin' Frenzy Lure 'Em In Some More is a new slot release in the long-running Fishin’ Frenzy series, but it follows the same formula and foundation as Fishin' Frenzy Lure 'Em In, with some hand-tweaked changes to two of its three main core bonuses.
