Hook Em Up Frenzy

Fishing-themed online slots are perhaps one of the most popular games for many punters to play. One of the standout aspects of these slots is the collect mechanic, with Hook Em Up Frenzy including a unique variation of this feature. As for the appearance of the game, players are taken to the bottom of a river, as the board floats in front of a selection of aquatic weeds. Hook Em Up Frenzy is played across 5 reels with 243 pay lines and a minimum stake size of 0.30 per spin. 

This slot was created by iSoftBet, which has been in the iGaming space since 2010. Throughout the years, they have produced an enormous range of innovative slots and table games. iSoftBet has unique slot machines such as Piggy Bank Megaways and Sheriff of Nottingham in their portfolio, alongside some more classic games like Hot Shot Megaways and Wishing Wheel. 

The standard J, Q, K, and A symbols can be found in Hook Em Up Frenzy, which can award a maximum of 1.33x the stake size. Premiums come next, shown as a snail shell, a float, a tackle box, a seagull, and a bass. Should five of these icons form a matching combination, players will be awarded with 1.66x, 2.6x, 3.3x, 6.6x, or 13.3x the bet size, respectively.  

Wild symbols in Hook Em Up Frenzy are shown as fishing boats and can replace any standard or premium icon along a payline. There are also scatter symbols, displayed as a fisherman, that can trigger the main bonus mode. Finally, there is an icon that shows a bass jumping out of the water, which can create win multipliers for specific reels! 

At any time during the base game, a random modifier known as 'Go Fishin' Spins' can trigger. Should this happen, 1, 2, or 3 wild bass symbols will be added to the board. Each of these icons will have a 2x or 3x multiplier attached, which will be applied to their respective reels. Should matching combinations form on the corresponding reel, the values will be multiplied together before being applied to the potential winnings. This means that the win multiplier can reach a maximum of 27x for the spin. When the next spin commences, the multipliers will reset. 

Hook Em Up Frenzy also comes with a free spins bonus that can be triggered if bonus symbols appear on reels 1, 3, and 5, simultaneously. Players will receive a total of 8 free spins, with the mode working in a similar way to the base game. The largest difference is that the aforementioned multipliers do not reset between each spin.

Should one wild bass symbol appear on a reel, the multiplier will increase to 2x, with the second bass icon causing it to rise to the maximum of 3x. Again, the multipliers on the relevant reels will be multiplied together before being applied to any potential winnings during the spin. Finally, should these icons appear on all reels, players will receive an additional five spins.

In conclusion, Hook Em Up Frenzy is a fishing slot that doesn't simply allow players to collect fixed value symbols. Bass can be collected when they appear. However, they will increase the win multipliers associated with various reels, as opposed to offering a multiple of the current bet size!
