Scatter Symbol – The Big Bass itself lands on all reels and triggers the Free Spins.  

Wild Symbol – The famous Fisherman is the Wild, as always, and hits on all reels during the Free Spins and can replace all other symbols except for the Scatter.  

Money Symbol – takes a random value from 2x to 2000x the total bet at every spin, which can be won during the Free Spins bonus.  

Free Spins – Here, we have the feature that these free online slots are famous for! It’s triggered when you hit three or more Scatters on the reels. Like the other titles in the series, how many spins you receive depends on how many Scatters landed. You can win either 10, 15, or 20 Free Spins.   

As you spin, the Wild symbols activate the Money symbols, depicted as cash-filled fish. These really pile up the winnings, but that’s not all! For every successful haul the fisherman gets, the special meter fills up at the top of the reels. This special meter grants bonuses, each one better than the last as it progressively fills during the Free Spins round. Basically, this means that every 4th Wild collected adds 10 Free Spins and increases the multiplier applied to the Money symbols collection to 2x. Then, 4 more will get you another 10 Free Spins and a x3 multiplier. The ultimate boost is another 10 Free Spins and a whopping x10 multiplier – imagine the payouts!  

Buy Free Spins – If you’d like to jump right into reeling in some big fish, you can buy the bonus round for 100x total current bet.  

Ante Bet – This is another way to increase your chances of reeling in some big wins! Enabling the Ante Bet activates a 15x bet multiplier, which causes the gameplay to produce more Scatters. The base game multiplier sits at 10x.   

Betting starts at € 0.10, and Pragmatic Play has generously allowed up to € 375, which is one of the highest max bets we have seen in a while. We see a max win set at 2,100x, which is ample to haul in some amazing catches! The volatility and RTP are also great, so you can expect plenty back per session. The RTP is 96.59%, and the quality is high. 

Our favourite topic. No, we lie, ONE of our favourite topics – graphics! The Big Bass Bonanza – Reel Action Demo shares a similar feel to the Big Bass Bonanza – Keeping it Reel Demo with all its underwater charm. Symbols are made up of the classics, with a nice fresh feeling to them. It was nice to see the return to the originals – the bobber, fishing rod, and lure box. The music is also very much a nod to the originals, with a sweet melody playing as you go fishing. We really loved all the additional sound effects that emphasized each win, and, in a way, shared the excitement of our fortunes!  

Social Tournaments received another great title with this Pragmatic Play exclusive, and we are sure that it will be a hit with all the fans of the series. Bringing in the classic Big Bass features allows players to watch with delight as the Fisherman reels in juicy Money symbols. With Pragmatic Slots, we often feel that the slots speak for themselves when it comes to quality, mechanics, and visuals. Another great addition to the growing library of the adventures of our favourite Fisherman!
