Fishin' Frenzy Even Bigger Catch adds golden Fisherman Wilds that carry multipliers up to 10x when they collect fish. RTP runs at 95% and the feel is a notch more volatile. Here is how the multipliers stack, plus a free demo to test them.

Golden Wilds Turn a Familiar Game Into a Sharper One

Even Bigger Catch is a fishing-themed video slot released in February 2023, built on the usual 5 reels, 3 rows and 10 fixed paylines. It runs a default RTP of about 95%, which sits a touch below the original's 96.12% figure and the 95.32% you'll find on The Big Catch. Volatility feels medium-high, so the ride can be choppier than the first game.

The reason to look at this one is a single upgrade. During free spins, Fisherman Wilds can land golden, and a golden Fisherman carries a multiplier of up to 10x on the cash values it collects. That's the whole pitch. Everything else you already know from the series carries straight over.

Free spins still trigger on 3, 4 or 5 boat scatters for 10, 15 or 20 spins. The boat is the Scatter, the Fisherman is both the Wild and the top-paying symbol, and cash-value fish still carry the numbers you're chasing. Base pays stay tiny, so almost all of the money lives inside the feature.

How the 10x Golden Wild Actually Pays

The core Fishin' Frenzy loop hasn't changed. When free spins are running, a Fisherman Wild lands and collects the value of every cash-value fish on that spin, then pays their combined total. It's the moment the feature exists for.

Even Bigger Catch layers a multiplier on that collect. If the Fisherman arrives golden, the fish values it sweeps up get boosted, and the boost can reach 10x. So a spin that would normally hand you a modest sum can suddenly pay ten times as much, provided the golden wild and a screen of high-value fish turn up together.

What has to line up

You need to be in free spins, since the collect doesn't fire in the base game.
A Fisherman Wild has to land, and it has to be the golden version to carry a multiplier.
Cash-value fish need to be on screen for the wild to collect and multiply.

Why the Multiplier Matters More Than the Headline Ceiling

On paper this game shares the original's 5,000x ceiling, and in practice that cap barely gets touched. The multiplier is what changes how a typical winning feature feels, so it's worth breaking down how the golden wild stacks against a plain collect.

Plain collect

A standard Fisherman sweeps the fish and pays their face values. That's the baseline you've seen across the series, and it's usually a small-to-medium hit.

Golden collect

A golden Fisherman applies a multiplier of up to 10x before it pays. The same board of fish can therefore return a very different number depending on which wild lands.

Where the big wins come from

The 5,000x ceiling generally needs the top multiplier meeting a spin loaded with high-value fish. It's rare, and you shouldn't buy into this game expecting it. Most golden collects are moderate boosts, not jackpots.

The trade-off

That upside comes with a medium-high feel and a 95% default RTP, which is lower than the original. You're paying for volatility with a slightly thinner long-run return.

What a Session Tends to Look Like

The base game is quiet. Fisherman symbols pay as the top line, boats sit as scatters, and the cash-value fish carry the numbers you eventually want the wild to sweep up. Low symbols run through 10, J, Q, K and A. None of it pays much on its own, because the whole design funnels value into the free spins. That's normal for the series, and it's why the game can feel flat until three boats finally land.

Once you're in the feature, the tone shifts. Every spin, you're hoping for a Fisherman, and specifically for a golden one. A plain wild still collects and pays, so you're never entirely empty, but the golden version is where the standout numbers come from. With no retrigger, your 10, 15 or 20 spins are all you get, so a good run usually means one or two golden collects landing on a busy board rather than a long grind.

Stakes start at £0.10, though the maximum you can bet varies by operator, and autoplay is available if you'd rather let the base game spin down to the next trigger. There's no bonus buy in the core game and no confirmed gamble feature, so what you see is what you play.

What works

The 10x golden wild is a genuine improvement on the base collect, and it's the cleanest reason to pick this over the plain game. The 5x3, 10-line frame keeps things quick and easy to read, so anyone who's played a Fishin' Frenzy title before won't need a tutorial. Free spins still trigger the same way, and the 5,000x cap gives the sessions a familiar top end.

Where it falls short

Honestly, this is a novelty reskin. The reels, symbols, scatter triggers and collect mechanic are lifted almost wholesale from earlier titles, with a multiplier bolted onto the front. The 95% RTP is the softest in the core lineup, and medium-high volatility means dry stretches between features. If the golden wild doesn't show, you're playing a slightly worse version of a game you already own. The 5,000x max win reads fine on paper, but you'll almost never get near it.

Where It Sits Next to the Other Collect Games

If you like the collect idea but want a bit more structure, The Big Catch is the closer comparison. It runs a higher 95.32% RTP and hangs its feature on collecting four Fisherman Wilds to upgrade the lowest fish and hand out extra spins, which is a different kind of build. Even Bigger Catch keeps the standard trigger and simply multiplies the payout instead.

For a bigger structural change, the Megaways edition swaps the 10 lines for up to 15,625 ways across six reels and layers its own multipliers up to x5, and tops out higher at around 10,000x. That's the one most players reach for when they want variety rather than a reskin. For the full spread of releases, max wins and RTP figures, the variants comparison lays every game side by side.

You can also try before you commit. The free demo runs the same maths on virtual credits with no download, which is the sensible way to see whether the golden wild lands often enough for your taste.

Even Bigger Catch: Quick Answers

What's the max win on Even Bigger Catch?

Up to 5,000x the stake, the same headline ceiling as the original Fishin' Frenzy. It's rarely reached and needs the top golden multiplier meeting a screen of high-value fish. The real draw here is the 10x golden wild, not a bigger cap.

How high does the golden wild multiplier go?

Up to 10x. Golden Fisherman Wilds appear during free spins and multiply the combined value of the fish they collect, which is the game's defining feature.

What's the RTP?

Around 95% by default, which is the lowest in the core lineup. Operators can run lower certified builds, so check the paytable in the game you're loading to confirm which one you're on.

Is it more volatile than the original?

It feels medium-high, a step up from the original's medium rating. You should expect longer gaps between paying features in exchange for the bigger multiplier upside.

Is it worth playing over The Big Catch or Megaways?

It depends on what you want. Even Bigger Catch is essentially the base game plus a 10x multiplier, so it's a reskin at heart. If you'd rather have a genuinely different feature, The Big Catch or the Megaways edition give you more to work with. Try the free demo first.
