Area Blast Double Bass

Area Blast Double Bass by Area Vegas (partnered with Games Global) offers a video slot experience with a classic fishing theme. The game presents a tranquil lake setting with retro-styled visuals on a 5×4 reel layout. There are 20 fixed paylines where winning combinations can be formed.

The core gameplay feature revolves around the Area Blast Feature, triggered by special bass symbols. These symbols can land entirely on reels 1 and 5. When a fully visible bass symbol appears alongside a Fish Prize symbol on the reels, the Area Blast Feature activates. During this feature, the reels with the bass symbols lock in place, and a respin is awarded. Any Fish Prize symbols that land during the respin are collected, and their values are added to the total win.

An interesting mechanic is that partially visible bass symbols on the triggering reels nudge to fill the entire reel during respins. This ensures you have the maximum chance to collect Fish Prize symbols. Additionally, with each respin, a multiplier increases by 1x. However, for the multiplier to apply to all wins, both triggering bass symbols need to be locked in place (fully visible on reels 1 and 5). The respins continue as long as new Fish Prize symbols or bass symbols land.

Other symbols on the reels include various fishing equipment like tackle boxes, rods, and life vests, along with standard playing card royals (9 to Ace) that hold lower values. The Wild symbol substitutes for other symbols (except scatters) to help form winning combinations. The Scatter symbol, depicted as a trophy, triggers the Free Spins bonus round when three or more land anywhere on the reels.

During the Free Spins round, players receive 10 free spins. The Area Blast Feature can be triggered during free spins just like in the base game. However, the bonus round is known to have a higher frequency of activating the Area Blast Feature, potentially leading to more opportunities for collecting Fish Prize symbols and multipliers.

Finally, there's a random Pick Feature that can be triggered on any spin. This feature presents players with the chance to win jackpots worth up to 5,000x their stake by matching symbols in a pick-me bonus game.
