NetEnt launches Rabid Randy Gone Fishing slot on 17 February

NetEnt has confirmed that Rabid Randy Gone Fishing will launch on 17 February 2026, marking the latest entry in its Rabid Randy slot series. The upcoming release moves the character into a fishing-themed setting. The exaggerated visual style and feature-heavy gameplay associated with the franchise are the same.

The slot has been outlined as a high volatility title. There are walking wild mechanics, cash prizes and a progressive jackpot system. This is designed to appeal to players who favour bonus-driven gameplay rather than frequent base-game wins.

Gameplay built around the Hook Wild mechanic

At the centre of  Rabid Randy Gone Fishing is the Hook Wild, a Walking Wild that appears exclusively on reel one. When triggered, it activates Walking Wild Re-Spins. This moves down the reel one position at a time until the feature ends.

During both the main game and Free Spins, additional mechanics can interact with the Hook Wild. These include Cash Prizes, Chest features and Wild modifiers. All features are resolved from left to right in this structured, feature-led game.

"Randy’s back on the hunt and this time he’s swapped his gun for a rod. The trails have led him straight into waters that look a little too quiet… and way too fishy! He’s got that wild look in his eyes again and he won’t leave till something bites his bait. But who’s really the biggest fish in this pond?" - NetEnt.
