Big Bass Mission Fishin’

Just like in the fantastic Big Bass Splash demo, and well, all of the entries in the series, we see the classic 5×3 grid with symbols paying from left to right on adjacent reels over 10 paylines with the following max awards:   

• Speedboat – Pays 200x for 5 on a payline   
• Dragonfly – Pays 100x for 5 on a payline   
• Grappling Hook – Pays 50x for 5 on a payline   
• Lure Box– Pays 50x for 5 on a payline   
• Fish– Pays 20x for 5 on a payline   
• A Symbol – Pays 10x for 5 on a payline   
• K Symbol – Pays 10x for 5 on a payline   
• Q Symbol – Pays 5x for 5 on a payline   
• J Symbol – Pays 5x for 5 on a payline   
• 10 Symbol – Pays 5x for 5 on a payline  

Scatter Symbol – The classic bass jumping out the water lands on all reels and triggers the Free Spins.   

Wild Symbol – The Fisherman in his wetsuit hits on all reels during the Free Spins and can replace all other symbols except for the Scatter and the Money Symbols.   

Money Symbol – One of the signature features of the franchise! When these hit, they provide a value from 2x to 5000x the total bet on every spin, which can be won during the Free Spins round.   

Bonus rounds – This exciting feature is triggered when you hit three or more Scatters on the reels. There are two different modes – Free Spins and Stack the Cash. Being fans of Free Spins themselves, the team at Pragmatic Play decided to incorporate a few features that will help you get those Scatters:  

• When 2 Scatters land on the reels, but not a third, there is a chance a Scatter appears in a random position on the grid.   
• Additionally, whenever 2 Scatters land on the reels, but not a third, and if both Scatters can move one position down on the reels, a respin will occur on the remaining reels, and the ones with existing Scatters move one position downwards.      

Then, before the round starts, players are given the opportunity to pick out their equipment, stacked with enhancements! They can draw until they reveal a boot, which starts the round.    

In the Free Spins round, the Fisherman will catch Money Fish Symbols, bringing in some tasty winnings. When the Wild Symbol hits, but no Money symbols are around to be collected, two things can randomly happen – Money Symbols can appear on the reels for the Fisherman to collect. The other thing only happens at the end of a free spin – the Bazooka animation plays, revealing fish all over the grid for the fisherman to collect. Similarly, when there are money symbols but no fisherman, a hook will appear at random pulling one into play. To make things even more exciting, every time the fisherman makes a catch, the special meter fills up at the top of the reels. It grants bonuses, each one better than the last as it progressively fills during the Free Spins round. This will grant us rewards like extra Free Spins and increase the multiplier applied to the Money symbols.     

When playing Stack the Cash, we can enjoy a respin type feature, with 4 lives which are reset every time a Fish Coin lands during the spins. Unlike other respin games, the cash is only collected by the little crab at the bottom of the reel when 3 Fish Coins stack in a row – when this happens, their values are banked and they are cleared from the grid, making room for more wins. Additionally, we see explosives floating down the reels whenever a new coin is added, doubling the current values of the Fish Coins! 

Buy Free Spins – either bonus can be bought for a fee in specific jurisdictions. You can unlock the regular Free Spins round for 100x the bet.    

Ante Bet – Enabling the Ante Bet activates a 15x bet multiplier, which causes the gameplay to produce more Scatters. The standard bet multiplier usually sits at 10x. 

Boasting its betting versatility, the Big Bass Mission Fishin’ starts betting at € 0.10 and shocks us clean out of the water with a max bet sitting at € 375. The max win of 5000x is perfect for this slot as it provides enough room for big wins. As always with Pragmatic Play titles, the RTP sits at a 96.50% across all game modes and the volatility rating is cranked up to very high for this secret mission! 

We’ve been enjoying Pragmatic Play’s direction of the Big Bass franchise. Their decision to create more unique themed titles has left a lasting impression on us, especially since the release of the Big Bass Secrets of the Golden Lake Demo! At first, we thought they were crazy, but now we just think they’re as daring as could be! With a classic James Bond super-agent theme, the overhaul of this classic feature-rich slot is just what we need. Symbols have been transformed into lethal weapons of someone with a license to fish and the Fisherman’s new wetsuit looks top notch! 

With an all-new bonus round feature that sees us collecting coins like never before, along with all the classic Big Bass staples, this new release from Pragmatic Play is sure to make some waves. We enjoyed the novelty of all the new symbols and visuals that a top-secret spy needs to succeed – hopefully, it translates to success in the winning department too!
